Meet-n-Greet

After being released from stasis, having the slime removed from their bodies and clothed in the creepy, pulsing leaf-suit that everyone wore, and being taken to the Weapons & Possessions lockers to collect their belongings, the new arrivals would find themselves standing in the Observation Deck. Round windows lined the fleshy walls, revealing the bright display of lights that was inter-dimensional travel. They would also discover that there were people--members of the command staff and crew that had woken earlier--waiting for them.

"Well it seems that Osborn got in the shot heard around the world. He shot that woman, the Queen or whatever she was calling herself. Live on national TV, and got the president to GIVE him SHIELD. He made Tony the World's Most Wanted criminal, started hunting the Avengers, and turned SHIELD into HAMMER. Don't ask what it means, because no one has any clue." He shook his head a bit and plopped down next to Kate.

"Then there's Osborn's Avengers. Bullseye's the new Hawkeye, and yeah Barton was thrilled about that. Venom's the new Spider-Man.. and remember that guy from that prison when we were in California? The one who kidnapped Teddy, Karolina, and I and then killed Xavin? He's the new Captain Marvel." He shook his head and leaned back trying to think about anything he was missing.

"Oh yeah, and Osborn's got one of Tony's armors all done up in red, white, and blue and calling himself like the Iron Patriot or something."

Kate took all that in, and put her head in her hands.

".....I think I'm going to be sick." She definitely remembered the one who kidnapped her friends, and tried to kill her if he hadn't been stopped. And Osborn is some perverted mixture of Iron Man and Cap?

And there's a THIRD Hawkeye? That on top of everything else.

Suddenly she wasn't sure if she should go home, or now she HAD to go home to stop it.

"This can't be how it's supposed to go. It's perverted and wrong."

"It is. It really is." He shook his head and leaned back to stare at the ceiling. He knew what Kate was feeling, he'd been feeling it since the end of the Invasion, but there wasn't any thing they could do. They were just kids. And the fact that Osborn was ignoring them, well it didn't sit well with him.

She sighed, and took in a few deep breaths. In and out. In and out, trying to focus and relax, remembering her training.

She finally lifted her head again, "We have to get back there, and stop it. Stop him. He can't get away with this." They had to get out of here and back to their world. One way or another.

Even if that meant something here will be sacrificed as result. Damn too close. Can't get too close to people here. It'll mean hurt in the end.

Billy was a bit shocked at Kate's sudden will to get out. But he smiled none the less. That was the girl he knew.

"Aye Aye Captain. We'll find our way out, and go and slay the evil beast who is destroying our world."

Kate had grown a bit complacent, resigned. Unsure of things and if she would ever see her home again. Being possessed by the Yeerk and facing all of it alone didn't help either. She hadn't realized how much she had come to rely on her friends and teammates until she was all alone with the nightmares the brain slug had dredged up.

But now that she knew they're here too, and all this was going to go down? She knew what was needed. Clint was right. The world needed them.

She smiled back at him, "We already got a team working on that too. The getting out of here and back home. We'll make it."

Billy nodded his head and then stood back up. "Well I for one am not going to sit around and mope. We're on a living ship, with people I never even dreamed about meeting. Okay, maybe a few dreams, but nothing like this." He looked back at her for a moment.

"I say we don't let our problems from home bother us too much. Heck Osborn wasn't even focused on us. Too busy trying to hunt down Spider-Man and Clint."

"Right, just do what we can, and focus on getting home when we can. Still that sounds even worse."

Especially Peter, there was still lots of bad blood between them, and she didn't like what might happen with Osborn running the show now.

"Come on Kate. Lighten up a bit. We're in Space!" He couldn't have Kate bringing down his mood. He was just too happy for this.

Kate gave a smile back, "I'm cool, it's ok. I think I'm getting used to the space background."

She came closer to hug him again briefly.

"Glad you're here. And just think you can go bug Teddy for not waking up on time when he does show up."

"You know, Teddy's normally not this late. Especially for something this cool. So it's gotta be Stacy's doing."
