War Is Coming Communications.

It seems its happened again. Powers swapping, some with becoming human, some becoming something else, non powered gaining something.

It can be interesting but also dangerous. I urge caution. Find out who your abilities belong and ask their help. Guidance. Its the only way through this.

[Filtered against those from my galaxy]

To whoever has gained my power. I am truly sorry. And I will help you.

You'll notice power yes, but a taint to it. An unshakeable darkness. And you will need to balance that. Contact me if this sounds right to you.

[Ben]

I dont quite know how to explain, but when it happens, when the powers swap. Its easier. I feel more like me than I have in over a decade.

So I need you to know. I'm trying. Even like that, with that power. I am trying.

But I want you to know I'm sorry too, for it all, for the burden I placed on you. The cruelties of the past.

For Mara.

I should not be here. This is not the place of screams.

Where is my sestra?

[Friends]

I explained to most of you about how it works. How you become a Sith? A saccrifice.

Well, Mara Jade Skywalker was mine only she doesn't know it yet.

I'm going to talk to her but just...bear with me for a while. It won't be easy.

[Mara]

Recognise me? I suspect I'm a little older than you remember.

I don't understand why I watched over 20 minutes of llama's being chased but it made Jaden giggle so I kept it on. And drank a lot of coffee.

I kind of want to adopt them.

Hey. I'm Elena. We spoke before. Do you remember me?

So, my friend Caroline mentioned that you have two adorable children and I wondered if you needed any kind of help. I mean, I've babysat for Ruby before and, apparently, I'm good with kids so...

I just hope you're getting some time for you, you know?

So, yeah...

I wished for a bunker. It's underground, it's hidden, and it seems like the perfect place to take all of my hunting stuff so that Emily won't be too exposed to it. It seemed like a good idea.

Except I was going through my weapons, trying to figure out what I wanted to keep where when I kind of - there was this flash and I...did I attack someone? Someone here?

So I thought about the wish. I thought long and hard about what I could possibly want that I don't already have or didnt already wish for and that the bauble would gift me.

Then it hit me.

Coffee, neverending, perfect, fresh, coffee.

Its amazing. It was the best idea ever

Hey, what's up?

I feel like all of you -- and me -- I feel like we need to have a little talk to get a few things straight. Seems like a lot of you, well, you might be familiar with a world like mine. Maybe you've watched some movies with Edward Norton or Eric Bana -- and if you have, I'm sorry. Maybe you think I should look a lot more like the affable love interest in 13 Going on 30 or maybe you just think I'm always angry.

But, dig this, all of those things are wrong.

What I am -- and what the Hulk is is dangerous. Indestructible, incredible, irrational, irradiated -- whatever you want to call it, the Hulk, if left unchecked, could rip this city apart faster than you could say "Smash". And if you're wondering if I'm writing this to tell you that there is some trick, some way to stop him, some charm like the way music works on the Three-Headed Dog in Harry Potter? You're wrong. You can't stop him. They've tried everything from shooting me into space to greasing me up with bacon and maple syrup and leaving me in a room with Wolverine. It doesn't work. It never will.

Magic doesn't work either. We've tried that.

Why I'm telling you this is -- well, it's simple. If you see the Hulk, you run. You don't be a hero, you don't try to stop him, you don't try to reason with him, or talk him down. I can sometimes do that, and God knows, I'll be trying -- these days, I even have control most of the time. But it's not a risk anyone ought to take.

Just run.

Why am I bringing all this up?

Because there's been a lot of talk about second chances aren't something anyone deserves. I certainly didn't -- or the third, forth, or fiftieth. Second chances aren't something that are earned, either: I've saved the world a hundred times over, I'll probably save it a hundred times more because that's what I do, but it doesn't make up for any of the lives I've ruined or the worlds I've destroyed. The planets that have been shattered to ashes because I failed to intervene in time. What second chances are are a gift, they're a sign of mercy, of compassion, of civilization and of hope.

They shouldn't be taken for granted, they shouldn't be revoked without reason, they -- basically -- shouldn't be fucked with. If someone fails at their second change, maybe they should be granted a third -- maybe not. But that's decided after, not before.

Because you can fuck with a lot of things, right -- but don't fuck with people's hope.

Especially not until you can stand up, look me in the eye and tell me you know what it's like not to have any.

Caroline, your horse is perfectly healthy and content. Also kind of a jerk. I approve.

In other news my children are only a few months old. But they're planning things. I know this because me and Jaina planned things before we could make proper words.

I have newfound respect for what my parents put up with. When they were around anyway.

Oh. My. God. Really big news.

Clíodhna finally had her baby. Today. This morning actually. A little baby colt that's like white with black splotches so I'm willing to wager that Lugh is so the father--sire--whatever its called with horses.

So you animal whisperers--which I remember are like the Doctor and Jacen--if you could come and make sure the baby is doing okay I will love you forever. And Jacen, you so owe me for helping you when Tahiri was doing the whole giving birth thing! And with the twins after!!

I refuse to succumb to the farm life. You hear that Kansas? N O P E

Uhmm, sorry guys from this general area of the multiverse buuuut steampunk Star Wars characters ftw! I want action figure versions.

I have noticed a fair number of new arrivals, recently, so it seems wise to offer some information, in case it was not already offered. I should have said something sooner. I

There is a facility for the teaching, practicing, and researching of subjects related to magic. It is protected from outside view, the threats of this place, and warded against both those with ill intentions and against accidental magical "spillage". There are further protections in place, as well. It is at [address], and it is open to anyone who meets the parameters - and while some areas are restricted, many areas are accessible by those who do not have access to magic, as well, if you wish to simply learn more about it. If you need a space or supplies for a specific spell, or to teach lessons, or something of that nature, I can make the arrangements for you.

Secondly, given the nature of this place and those who often arrive here, it seems wise to mention that I - and very likely a few others, if they choose to offer - can magically imprint the anti-possession tattoo without causing damage to skin, or any pain. This is ideal for those who cannot be harmed by traditional needles, or are too young to acquire one in that manner by a licensed "tattoo artist" from this world. If you are sensitive to magic, however, I would not advise it.

If there is anything else I can do, I would be happy to be of assistance.

[Jacen]

If you are not particularly busy tomorrow, I would benefit from further assistance. I feel it is nearly restored enough to work on it alone, but I would rather not take the risk of being complacent so soon.

Is everyone well?

Oh for...

Loki? Seriously? I did not kriffing come out of drugged up juice land for the mother of all headaches.

...so drug juice aside.

And lack of Force notwithstanding.

I think I made friends with an alien that was trying to attack me.

I'm not sure that's how its supposed to go?

So gymnastics meet is tomorrow and you should all come watch.

Then I'm hosting an after party at the Youth Center. You can take the Rose out of Lawrence but you can't take the Lawrence out of the Rose. You should definitely all come to that! There's going to be pizza and juice and probably some weird alien will show up and try to interrupt our fun but it'll only take us about five minutes to beat it so it's fine.

This actually makes a remarkable amount of sense.

In other news, I have been a mother for just over two months and Jaeden and Jayna are both still in one piece! Considering I'd never even held a baby before, I'm actually impressed with myself.

[Jacen and Tahiri]

I don't think I ever congratulated you properly on the twins' arrival. I'd like to make that up to you somehow. Though I admit, I have no idea how one reacts to a birth. That's all a bit new for me.

[Bo H]

I have not seen you in a while. Are you well? You've been very quiet.

[John]

How do I

Molly Hooper. She's a friend of yours, isn't she?

[Molly]

Is this
What are we
I'm being positively ridiculous

Hello.

Apparently floating the kids is not okay. They love it. Allana loved it. Its entirely fine.

In other news I found a bunch of people practicing lightsaber fights in the park. Apparently for a convention. It would be wrong to teach them some of my tricks, right?

[Kol]

So I'm guessing its a no with your family?
