#1 [Video] Hulking & Wiccan

[The video clicks on to show two young men peering into the mirror together - one is dark haired and wearing an engraved headpiece and a bright red cape, the other blond and bulky with green skin.

It's the boy in red who talks first.]

Calling all Avengers! We declare a truce! A truce is a halt to hostility. An immediate and complete cessation of whatever it is we’re arguing or fighting about at least that's what my history teacher said. A lot of stuff has gone down, and maybe it was our (my) fault but right now I think we can all agree that it's better to stick together.

And uh...

We kind of need an adult.

Uh, Wiccan, you realize Wolverine is an Avenger right now, right? So how about...all Avengers except Wolverine? We're totally okay without Wolverine.

Actually, if we want to get down to specifics, how about Wonder Man, maybe Cap or Iron Man, Hawkeye?

You've got a point. So all Avengers EXCEPT Wolverine, and bonus points if you're Wonder Man, Captain America, Iron Man or Hawkeye.

Sounds good, except...you know, maybe we're actually alone this time? Like, maybe we're going to have to reach out for other people? So I guess, if anyone else here would like to tell us anything that's not in the intro video, we'd really appreciate it.

Um... I don't think there are any Avengers here. [Her eyes are a little wide, too, like she's overwhelmed at the idea.] Not that I've seen, anyway, and I think I'd have seen?

I can tell you a lot that's not in the intro, though. And I think I count as an adult by now. [She looks like she's not too sure of that, but she is in her early 20's, so.] My name's Willow.

You know, despite the flashy outfits and super powers they can be a little hard to spot.

Nice to meet you. I'm Wiccan... and at this point we'll take what we can get.

Really? [Willow looks doubtful.] Not like I stalk the official resident list or anything, but I always thought the property damage would be a giveaway.

Oh! Is that like a code name or are you really Wiccan? [She suddenly looks extremely interested and a little excited.] Cause I'm Wiccan. I mean, I'm a witch, and I practice Wicca. I haven't seen anyone else that does in-- in a long time.

Property damage happens, but the big guys are pretty good about keeping the fights clean. Most of the time.

A little of column A and a little of column B? It's kind of complicated, but my mom was a witch and I'm doing my homework... I've never met another one before either. A real witch I mean. Sure have met a lot of goths though.

Wow, they're better at it than Buffy was, then. Kinda hard to get house insurance when your explanation for the wall caving in is 'demons did it'.

Yeah, I tried to meet some in college but they just kept throwing bake sales. [She wrinkles her nose in distaste.] I did meet... meet one, but she... [She trails off, not willing to bring up Tara and that mess of tragedy with a total stranger.] She's not around anymore, [she settles on.] I'd be happy to trade notes after you get settled in? I-If you want.

What sort of points are we talking about here? And what do you want with me anyway?

[ His eyes turn into dinner plates at the sight of Tony. ]

YOU'RE HERE! We knew they couldn't have just taken us, I mean why would they bother with the Young Avengers when they could have the real thing?

Have you seen Mo- er, Scarlet Witch?

[ He blinks, slightly taken aback by all that enthusiasm. And whatever the poor kid's talking about. ]

The Yo—I'm sorry, Scarlet Witch? Is she supposed to be here?

I'm not sure if any of us are SUPPOSED to be here, but I figured if a place looking for help was going to grab anyone they'd pick the strongest.

I mean, we do pretty good for ourselves but we're not... you guys.

Well, no. I wouldn't say I'm supposed to be here. And if that's true for me, I think it's probably true for everyone else, too.

Define me guys. Because I'm a little confused.

An Avenger?

IRON MAN?

As tempting as it is, if I describe how many cool things you are it's going to take me all day.

Yeah, no, but I like that. I do. It's nice to know the hard work doesn't go unappreciated.

I'm just a little—Who's Wonder Man? Is that what they're calling Steve now? Because if it is, I'm going to have to have a talk with Fury.

Edited 2012-11-04 21:44 (UTC)

To be honest, I think we were sorta hoping she had something to do with this, sir. [He rubs sheepishly at the back of his head.]

If not...uh. This could be a problem.

Edited 2012-11-04 21:33 (UTC)

Does she usually kidnap people and put them to work doing the whatever the magic mirror said we were supposed to do?

Because yeah, that's definitely a problem.

[He is really tempted to start doing the fanboy thing like Billy is half doing but someone has to stay on task and that's usually him. Or Kate, but she's not here. And the fact Iron Man doesn't know enough to not ask that question is pretty scary.]

Not usually, no. Uh...I hate to be a pain, but what's the last thing you remember? ...sir.

Right now, the only pain I'm experiencing is our indentured servitude.

[ He waves that question away with a flick of his wrist. ]

Cleaning up after the Chitauri attack. Why?

And call me Tony. Sir was always my dad.

Yeah, those guys? Never heard've 'em. [She sounds like she totally doesn't care, too.]

Not a whole lot of hostility around here, either, at least not right now. What'd you guys want to know? I skipped the whole welcome wagon when I got here.

Well, we're not exactly sure what there is to know right now.

How long have people been here? Has anyone gone home? Seen Doctor Doom around?

It's not complicated, [she says dismissively.] You've been kidnapped, if you help they'll let you go home, blah blah dimensions, here's your room key.

There's a couple people that've been here longer than the rest of us, but I got here a few months ago. That's when most of us started arriving. There's been some disappearances, and they said it's cause they got sick and were sent home.

--Wait, are you seriously asking about someone named Doctor Doom? [She snorts with unreserved humor.] Who thought that was a good name?

Right. That's about what I figured out so far, thanks anyway though.

Dr. Doom thought Dr. Doom was a good name. He's not the kind of guy you'd want to argue with.

No problem.

I'd argue with him, [she says confidently, not an ounce of hesitation.] Anyone that takes themselves that seriously needs some mocking. They're like asking for it.

I've argued with him. Then he lit me on fire, kind of. It didn't end too well.

[If that's a cue for her to be sensitive and back off of the topic, well, she misses it entirely.]

You just gotta work on being fireproof! Trust me, even if it's the psycho princess throwing lightning at you, you can't let it get to you. Who'd want to give her the satisfaction, anyway?

Fireproof. Right. Easier than math homework.

Way easier than math homework, [she agrees, noticing but ignoring the sarcasm.]

So who are you? My name's Toph, and I'm guessing you and your buddy just got here?

[Following the laws of 'no 4th walling,' we are going to say that John has never heard of the Avengers before. He has no idea what an Avenger is, nor does he know they come from comic books.

He does, however, know that the word 'Avengers' totally sounds like a name for a group of superheroes. So he has decided he wants to be an Avenger because of how cool it sounds.]

I don't know what's going on, but let me help! I bet I can get everyone to stop being stupid or fighting or whatever your problem is.

[So says the 14-year-old boy in pajama-looking clothes. Yep.]

Oh. Uh.

[ Well that was forward but Billy kind of likes that. ]

You look... young enough. Got a super power?

Yep! Wind powers!

[More or less. It's a little complicated but wind powers are definitely part of it.]

Wind? That's awesome! I can do lightning and other stuff.

How old are you anyway?

Wind a lightning, we're totally weather superheroes! And I just turned 14 a few weeks ago, actually.

[That's...really cute. He just sorta smiles a bit and cocks his head.]

Well the team could really use a diplomat, I won't argue with that...

I'm totally the best diplomat. Also like half the people here are my friends so I've got connections.

[Is it exaggerating if he doesn't know he's wrong?]

The city recently was under siege and has a change in government right now - do you guys have little balls following you yet?

What's with all the weird nicknames?

'I hate to say it, but I have to ask this out loud:'

Who name's their kid Wolverine?

Anything that's not in the intro video is pretty general. [She smiles, teasing a little.] Did you have anything specific you wanted to ask?

...Avengers?

[Did you ask for an alien with a very strained smile. Sure you did.]

I am an adult... I believe.

Re: video

Toph vs. Doom 10/10 would pay to see.

I think I could make some serious money if I sold tickets to that

you know he's practically made out of metal she might have a good chance of winning.
