Time for the 'meat' and greet

[NOTE: This takes place DURING the holiday plot. If your character is involved in that, then they're still on the surface and not on the ship at this time.]

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings.

There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.

[ooc: Only new characters and Command Staff can start new threads for introductions, to limit the number of threads. Everyone else, just tag in and have your guys greet the newbies. The mission is still going on, so if your character is offship, they won't be around for this.]

Peter's smile scrunches into a frustrated pout quickly enough, "We got Ms. Marvel and a load of kids who I don't recognise but respond to all my best material with the weary tolerance that only the Avengers have the patience to convey."

For the next part, his hand instincively goes to scratching the back of his head with apprehension, "Jean's here too, but she's... I don't know. Different."

But still completely terrifying.

"I think one of your other boys is here too. Chamber. He is one of yours, right?"

Kids related to the Avengers. Bobby nodded slightly. The Young Avengers were on board. Well that was something at least. He was trying to think if he knew any of their names, but ignored it for something more important.

"Jean and Starsmore? I think I win for worst luck." He shook his head. Of all the telepaths Stacy could have stolen away, it had to be those two. "And what the heck do you mean different? Like alternate universes? And wait a second, how come you don't know the Young Avenger brats? You're an Avenger. Didn't you like help train them?"

Cue the 'quit reminding me of responsibility I'm desperate for yet incapable of coping with' facepalm, "She's from a parallel universe and I'm from the past. Apparently. Personally, I preferred it back then."

Bobby smirked a bit and shook his head. "This place just gets weirder huh?"

[personal profile] stickyboots 2010-01-02 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, no. It sets a pretty unbeatable precedent from the get-go. It just knows how to stay weird, is all." and then, that Spider-grin spreads irresistibly back across his face, "So it's just like back home after all."

"Hmm yeah. Without the whole, Green Goblin running things." He blinked a bit and looked around. "Osborn's not here is he? Cause is so, I'm going to freak right out."

"Very funny, snow cone," Peter looks at Bobby curiously. It was an... obscure joke to say the least, "Honestly, I'm surprised anyone but me even remembers him."

And because of Gwen, he would be the last man to ever forget.

"Remembers him? The guy's got his own team of X-Men. Kinda hard to forget that." He shakes his head a bit and then the urge to slap himself comes to mind. "Right, past. This hasn't happened for you. Well guess what, you're going to hate the future. A lot."

Peter frowns at Bobby's rather forboding appraisal of the years to come, "Yeah, after that I'm not just going to sit back and let it come to me. Last time I checked, both Norman and Harry Osborn were dead. I had to watch both of them die and now you're telling me one of them is feeling well enough to form his own superteam?"

[identity profile] callmeotterpop.livejournal.com 2010-01-04 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Bobby blinked a bit. "Dead? Harry's still alive too. Think he was going to help his dad out, but you stepped in and stopped him. Or talked him out of it. Don't really know cause I was dealing with being relocated." He shook his head and frowned. "And Normie's got more than just his own superteam. He's got a god, Logan's kid, and the Sentry. He's got basically an army with just a few people. Not to mention his whole HAMMER crew."

Spider Migraine tingling!

"Hold up a sec," Peter folds one arm across his chest and rubs his face with the other, "I'm starting to feel like the . Logan has a kid?! What's the Sentry, and HAMMER? How the hell did Norm find a return ticket from Dante's Inferno and who the hell put him in charge of this boatload of crazy?"

And more importantly, why the hell hadn't Carol told him any of this?

Bobby sighed and suddenly wanted a large chair to sit in. "Yes Logan has a kid. The Sentry is basically a god, he's got the power of a million exploding suns or something, and HAMMER is Norman Osborn's SHIELD. After the Skrull Invasion, Norman was given the keys to the kingdom." He sighed heavily and looked like he was getting a headache. "I got no clue why he's not dead. Heck I don't even know who let him out of jail. I was sure Stark had him tossed in jail, though he might have gotten out during the whole Civil War mess."

If Peter had the faculties to voice his dismay at Norman's survival, they're long gone by the time Bobby has finished his spiel. After everything Norman had put him through, at least he had had some small closure through the deranged business mogul's death. And now it all amounted to nothing. Now that Norman was alive and free, let alone running national security-- all the nightmares come flooding back to Peter.

Stunned, he sinks to his knees, face buried in his hands.

"He can't be... He can't do that."

Bobby had taken to looking around the room for anyone else he knew. But his eyes spun back to Peter when he saw his friend fall to the ground. He dropped next to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey man.. come on.. you can't.." He shook his head. He couldn't what? Freak out that his ultimate enemy was running the world? "Look from what I understand you Avengers were getting set to bring him down. At least I know Barton was. So maybe when we get everything fixed here, we can all go home and kick some Goblin ass."
