Sofia noted the tensions in the air and Natasha's words made complete sense. Of course he was a major threat, he tried to kill Bucky and Alyona who were friends of the Avengers. She mentally facepalmed, it didn't matter how many times they told her it was okay guilt ate at her stomach. She should've thought more about bringing him to the compound. Then she was sure the others could feel the tension, her tension sparking in the air and that made her more embarrassed. Just another young Avenger wanna-be who can't control herself. A small heat rose to her cheeks and she ducked her head. Natasha's comforting hand relieved a little of her tension, but she slowed her breathing, trying to focus on controlling her sparks. Watching the two trained assassins and wondered what history was between the two. Sofia was relatively new here, less than a year, so most things she was on the outside of and had no inside knowledge on. Either way it was clear Nat and Borya had fought before, or at least come close to throwing blows.
Then Natasha called for them to follow her and she inhaled deeply through her nose and her eyes followed after the woman, hesitant but eager to learn about what exactly she was talking about. She could hear many voices in the other room, talking all together. Sofia couldn't exactly decipher whose voices they were and how many people, but there were definitely some that sounded familiar. If they were going to relocate it must have been a big threat as the compound was one of the safest places Sofia could imagine, it was rooming the world's best defenders, after all. She met gazes with Borya and her eyes were full of intrigue but the blush on her cheeks showed she was still embarrassed from her earlier actions. Sofia was a highly anxious person, many times she overreacted in simple situations, this being one, but in her mind it was a huge misstep. "Sorry about all this, I didn't realize we were relocating, but that must mean this is a serious situation." Sofia murmured, feeling his hand slip into her's she tensed up, low-level sparks emitting, but the warmth and comfort of another human's touch relaxed her a bit and she and Borya followed after Natasha's retreating frame.

(Night; thanks!)
Logan:
He watched her come around the corner of the bookcases and debated if he should attack now and ask questions later. It would have eliminated the threat right away, he knew, especially since they were low on time. But when he saw that she was young - in her twenties - he lowered his guard, watching her with curiosity instead. He immediately tensed up again, though, when he saw her claws. He narrowed his eyes, staring at her hands, at where the claws had been a moment before and then weren't. It wasn't like it should have been something to shock him. He had seen mutant abilities before, and he, himself, had claws. But never before had he seen someone else like him. Someone else with adamantium in their bones. He let out a breath and crossed his arms. Her answer only left him with more questions and less trust, but he didn't feel like story-time right now, and he knew that she wasn't going to say anymore at the moment, either. Instead he raised an eye at her weapon, the one she was so keen on holding onto, and asked, "Why do you have a gun when you've got a set of claws?" But then the question didn't even seem to matter as much when he heard what she said next. Jean Grey? A friend of Jean Grey? He took a step forward, faltered. "What do you want with Jean?" he asked. "Are you really a friend? If you intend to help her, then you need not point your weapon at me. Jean's my friend, too. Is she in trouble?"

Cap:
Steve noticed Bruce's small exhibit of excitement, and despite all of their troubles, he had to give a brief smile. "You'll like it, too, Banner," Steve said, nodding. "Maybe Shuri will show you the latest of her tech. I can't keep up with that kind of stuff." He managed a laugh -- technology definitely wasn't his friend, even as he'd tried to accept it -- and then he realized how quiet it was. He cleared his throat; apparently, everyone else was done talking. But, then, what else was there to say? "Right. So, wheels up for Wakanda in ten?" he said. "We don't have much, but everyone grab what you need and get ready." He looked around the crowd, and suddenly he frowned. A few of their party was missing. "Where's Logan and Nat?"
Bucky:
Bucky narrowed his eyes as he watched Logan leave. He saw the man's eyes briefly linger on Alyona and then the fireplace, so he figured he was off to do something about the unlit fire. Shrugging, Bucky let his eyes fall back on the group of others talking. He listened to Steve speak, and then at movement from the corner of his eyes, he saw Viktor drape a coat over Alyona's shoulders. His muscles tensed only for a second. At least she was warm, something he wasn't able to provide with his metal arm and the cold that was seeping through his own body. Was it winter? It sure felt like it. But, he supposed it made sense that they didn't waste money on heating the furnace to high when the base was hardly occupied.
"Logan went that way," Bucky said to Steve, pointing in the direction that Logan had wandered off in. "And last I saw Nat was in the medic's ward. I thought she'd be back by now." He looked to Alyona curiously, his eyes asking if she knew where the other woman went. Hadn't Nat gone back before them?
(random: funny thing is, in our rp we never actually had Bucky's mind fixed all the way because we were just going off of what we were thinking at the time, but then in the movie they actually fixed his mind XD Not fixing his mind was a major part of our plot because that's how Borya was able to take advantage of him as a weapon... but obviously having his mind fixed is also a major part of the actual plot. I'm just kind of pretending that his mind is fixed, though xD)

“I carry a gun because if there’s one lesson I took from my godawful upbringing, it’s that you need the right tools to do the job. If all you’ve got is the claws and your target is a hundred feet away, there’s absolutely nothing you can do. There’s a reason I got thousands of confirmed kills in a four year span.”
The reason, of course, is that she was good. Very good. Laura could have blown a hole clean through Logan’s jugular before he’d taken that step. It wouldn’t have put him down for long, but advantage always went to the first to move, and after all this time, she still couldn’t walk into a room without automatically making a plan on how to kill everybody in it.
“Jean’s a friend. She disappeared from the mansion last month, and we managed to track her to this world. Tangled with a Russian Inhuman syndicate. Now, to the best of your knowledge, is YOUR Jean Grey alive or dead?”
(I’d prefer dead via Dark Phoenix because it’s simpler, but if anybody wants to claim her now that’s fine. If you change your mind later, we can just Jamaica Bay it.)
(And I have too many things tonight for Loki, but if anybody wants to do Banner introducing Jean that’d be great.)

(Okay, that works. I'm going to do it as Dark Phoenix in Last Stand because I don't know how it goes in the comics, if that's okay XD)
Logan:
Well, that was direct... and obvious. But he'd never needed a gun, so he still didn't see the point of himself using one; in fact, he always preferred his claws and close range combat, and that's what worked best for him. And he was good at what he did. The best. But, to each their own. He wasn't going to tell her how to do her job. Speaking of which, what was her job again? Logan tensed. All this time, they'd been talking as if Jean was alive. But she wasn't alive. He'd seen her die, he'd helped to kill her.
"If you were really friends with Jean Grey, you'd know that she died," he said, his eyes narrowed. And at my hand, too. It was one of the many curses of never dying: watching his friends die around him while he had to keep on living. He'd seen friends grow old and die, while he, himself, never aged. He watched his friends killed or gone to battle with the knowledge that he'd never join them, with the knowledge that he was, more or less, invincible. He hardly cried for anything or anyone. His heart was as made as metal as his skeleton. But he'd cried for her. He'd cried for her death and watched her die at his own hands, both of them knowing that he was the only one who could kill her, both of them knowing that it was the only way.
She would have never loved him as she loved Scott, but that didn't stop him from loving her anyways. Unconditionally, even as she'd tried to kill them all, even as she succeeded in killing Scott. That was when he knew she hadn't been herself - that something darker was taking over - and he'd made the decision to kill her. She would have hated what she had become. "Jean Grey is dead."

Laura lowered the barrel. For the moment, it seemed as though there wasn’t any risk of a fight. “The Jean you know is dead, probably from something Dark Phoenix related. The Jean I know came back about a year ago, and then ended up in this universe. I have no idea why, but Doctor Strange sent me, my sister, and our literal wolverine here to find her.” She shifted slightly, feeling mildly impatient. “So, one last time: are you going to help, or do I have to go through you?”
Speaking of Jean, she was currently sitting in an armchair, listening to the Avengers. None of them could see her; one of the advantages of being a telepath. It might have been a better idea to just introduce herself, but Logan... she just couldn’t deal with Logan right now. She took a deep breath.
Don’t freak out, Jean broadcast telepathically, and dropped her mental shields, revealing herself to the Avengers surrounding her.

Logan:
This universe? Logan's head spun, but it was nothing like how his emotions were feeling. Jean was back? Jean Grey -- his friend -- was alive? He lifted his eyebrows. Did that mean there were others in the library, too? Or had they all been sent to different areas of the base? He didn't ask, though. He probably would have smelled it. And it didn’t matter. There was so much going on right now and apparently a guy from outer space was tampering with the fate of humankind. It didn't matter that he didn't know this mutant; all that mattered was that she said that Jean Grey was back, and if they could find her, maybe they would have an even better chance at defeating Thanos. He didn't see how any of the Avengers could argue with that. So, instead he said, crossing his arms but not relaxing his tense stature, "This doesn't mean I trust you, but if what you say is true, I owe it to Jean." He then narrowed his eyes, a low growl escaping his throat. "But I swear if you are lying, girl, I will show you no mercy then."
Bucky:
What did you do when someone told you not to freak out? You freaked out a little bit. Not only because the words came into his mind but also because of the fact that a woman now sat in an armchair that had once been empty. He was pretty sure the words had come from her, and he had to blink a few times to register the fact that she was real and his mind wasn't just playing tricks on him. When his heart stopped beating out of his chest from the shock, he grumbled, his body tense and alert, "Normally when you say something like that, you get the reaction you were trying to avoid had you not said it at all." He then clenched his fists and took a step forward with narrowed eyes. "Who are you? You're not one of Thanos' minions, are you?"
Cap:
The natural thing was to freak out, but odd enough, when she said the words, he told himself to do as she said. He braced himself and then a moment later, a woman was sitting in the room with them. A telepath. He let out a breath, and watched her, contemplating what to do. Lately, they had so many visitors, both allies and enemies alike, that he wasn't even sure what to make of her. But, from the casual way she was sitting and the fact that she had told them explicitly not to freak out, he could tell she wasn't the enemy. Steve cast a glance over at Bucky, who had spoken first and stepped forward. He held out his arm to block his friend. "Wait," he told Bucky, his eyes creased thoughtfully. His gaze drifted towards the woman. "I think... I think I recognize this woman," he said. "I think... she's a friend."

Borya, Natasha, Alyona, Viktor, Wanda, Clint and Bruce
Borya gently ran his thumb over her knuckles, seemingly trying to assure her that it was all okay. He seemed well aware it was serious, his face was turning to a look that suggested he was getting to business. His gaze was set on Natasha, the doors moving and sliding open for the group as they started to trail towards the hangar. When Borya felt that Sofia was calm enough, he let go of her hand and simply walked at a slower pace beside her. His jaw was set, eyes looking around the base. It was certainly extravagant, but even more so when they entered the part of the building with the planes.
Natasha was the first to enter the room, the woman carefully walking over to stand beside Clint. She didn't make too much of an entrance before gently tilting her head to Steve and sending a glance over her shoulder. She knew he would figure out what she was trying to gesture. In fact, even more so that the gigantic Russian man was stepping foot into the room and his gaze locking onto his dwarf of a sister. The gigantic man was fast approaching, not catching the bristling mutant that now lunged to stand in front of Alyona.
Viktor's nails sharpened, a low guttural growl escaping into the air as the snarl of his lips begun to form. His eyes were dark, fangs elongated and revealed as Borya immediately halted in his tracks and stared at the elder man. His jaw tensed, clenching as he stared down his dark brown orbs and then glanced to Alyona. She seemed to have her attention focused on Bucky, seemingly unknowing of where Natasha had run off to before she looked to Borya. Her brother was the least of her worries right now, gently touching Viktor's arm in a way of telling him that it was okay..
But it was the voice that spooked her. It was a faint echo of emotional pain that caused her to grip onto Viktor as she stared at the person who told them not to freak out. Her mental barrier was high up, she worked with Xavier enough that it was more difficult to reach into her mind. Alyona's emotional presence and search was more easy however, and it was a residue she never thought she would feel ever again. She nearly burst into tears- she was young when she met Jean but she had terrible memories of the woman.
"You're dead!" Alyona blurted out fearfully, causing the female to immediately shrink further behind Viktor. "I watched her die by Logan's claws Steve, thats not Jean," she explained loudly, staring at her with a hint of a frown. That certainly wasn't the Jean she knew. And the way she hid, meant that Borya was now on high alert and switching to a more offensive stance that had Viktor ready to pounce onto her as well. Telepath or not, friend or foe, if Jean Grey was dead in this universe, then who was that?
"Thats the thing Alyona," Bruce immediately interrupted, hands raising to stop the two tensed men. "You dont need to be afraid. Theres a hiccup in the space stone- one that none of us really thought of. This is Jean Grey, a friend of ours. She is however, not of our world. Its a weird, scientific rip through time and space that I haven't had time to figure out. Tony was the one who interacted with Jean first, but with Thanos' child after him and Dr. Strange, there wasn't much time I could ask more into."
Bruce winced at the angry, frustrated, and tearful gaze of Alyona. He didn't know what went down in her life, but she seemed to be more accepting of her brother that had once tried to kill her. It was then Bruce looked at Jean with annoyance. "Compared to us, we're not used to people in our heads unless they're the enemy trying to get to us. A more physical approach to people would have been nice," it was an annoyance that Clint and Natasha didn't pass over. In fact, they exchanged glances and seemed to be aware of the fact that, in all instances- he was right.
Borya had someone in his mind wanting him to pursue Alyona and rid of her. Bucky had someone in his mind for making him do Hydra's dirty work. They all had experienced when Wanda had worked for Ultron- her illusions and the telepathic abilities she displayed for them. She was just as powerful as Alyona had described Xavier. Wanda however, was aware of the fact that keeping the thoughts and presence of her mind from someone elses and instead physically introduced herself.
Wanda, simply stared at Jean. She had taken a notice to her figure a bit ago, but held up a mental barrier at all times. She had experienced one of Alyona's empathy explosions one time in their hide-out and had been disturbed ever since. She had never felt so drained of emotions nor experienced such fears and emotions- but Wanda didn't blame Alyona. Alyona at that time was afraid and mentally searching for anyone nearby in hopes to be comforted. She was perhaps looking for Bucky, Steve, Natasha or Clint.
Slowly, Borya relaxed his stance, but Viktor kept up his defenses. The tiny Russian was hiding behind him, so he needed to at least be on guard in case this was all a trick. Someone had to.

(Hey, guys. So, I talked to pumpkin pie, and she said that Captain Americat talked to Tals about someone rping her characters (except for Gwen) when she wasn't on so that we could keep the rp going. Which means Thor and Doctor Strange. Anyone want to take them so that we can rp Nidavellir and Titan? Because I can't. I already have Rocket and Ebony Maw so I'd just be rping with myself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) |

(And I JUST took Jean out of that.)
“I’m sorry, I just... My Logan’s dead, your Jean’s dead, and I just couldn’t deal with all of you and him at the same time.” Oh, Logan. She loved him, but she could never be with him, not even after Scott had left her for Emma. “I’m pretty sure the Phoenix has something to do with why I’m here, and that’s a very... touchy subject.”
“Logan, I think it’s been established that neither of us is afraid of the other.” Laura pulled the mag out of her rifle, and pulled the charging bolt with her other hand, catching the cartridge, putting it back into the mag, and slamming it back up into the receiver in one fluid motion. She repeated the process with each pistol, and returned them to their holsters, before striding past Logan to the door.
“Let’s see if we can find her, shall we?”

well pumpkin can't help it. they probably are super busy with work, college, life, etc. its not exactly her fault that she took herself from that. I think it would be appropriate to take over and then when she comes back we can just smoothly transition the characters to her.

Which means Thor and Doctor Strange. Anyone want to take them so that we can rp Nidavellir and Titan? Because I can't. I already have Rocket and Ebony Maw so I'd just be rping with myself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) I'll take up Thor; if no one else wants Dr. Strange, Ill take him as well. But that means that I will be very picky and not go into detail about having to rp it until they all run into the guardians. Its pointless to make a long post with just myself. the only time i've done that is with my latest post to just bring everyone together, which didn't seem to get to Jean. So to the point, if I have to, I'll take Dr. Strange. But thats only when we've gone to meet the Guardians with him and Tony. Otherwise I'll take Thor and then hand it over to Pumpkin when she comes back, if ever. Pumpkin will always have a welcome home to us no matter what. (Also because i take into consideration with the idea that if i literally wanted my own characters to rp with themselves, i'd just continue writing up my stories instead of taking a few hours to conjure up a reply. *shrugs* but thats how i see it.) |
