Loki looked sheepish for a moment, then slightly confused. "Wait… first time?" He followed Cap's gaze, which was directed at… Coulson? "Okay, I don't know how that happened, but for the record, I'm glad he's not dead." Turning back to Cap, he continued. "The Reality stone is with someone called the Collector, in the depths of space. We can't possibly get there in time to stop him. As for the Time Stone, that's in the possession of a sorcerer in New York. I'm fairly certain that's where Heimdall sent the Hulk, and while the magician and I are not on the best of terms, it should be fairly safe in his hands."

Cap:
Steve watched Loki through narrowed eyes as he listened to him speak. It was a lot to take in, and he had to wonder all the same whether Loki was lying. This was the man who helped send the Chitauri to New York, a man who wanted to destroy them and whose aims changed quite possibly all the time. Although Steve knew the seriousness of the situation, especially now that they'd seen Thanos' henchmen come after Vision, he wondered how much he could actually trust Loki. Still, he realized he might have no other choice. If the world was at stake, they needed to take action instead of fight past battles. "Well, hopefully this collector doesn't want to share the stone," Steve said, stopping in front of the god. He didn't like that one bit. Could the Collector even be trusted? "As for the others, it looks like our only hope is to protect them so that Thanos never succeeds. We'll keep Vision safe, and... maybe we'll pay a visit to this... magician, did you say?" The world really was a crazy place. New super heroes being sprouted up left and right. And... "Wait... did you say Banner's with the magician?"

Gamora:
Gamora hesitated for a few moments, unsure of what to say, if anything. What Peter had said didn't surprise her. And she wished she could just agree, say 'Me too,' but she didn't feel like that would be entirely accurate. Shouldn't she hate Thanos, after everything he'd done to her? Stripped her from her planet? Made her fight for her life every day? And Nebula, oh... Her sister had it far worse than she did. Thanos had literally mutilated her, replacing countless parts of her body with machinery. How could Gamora not hate him after that? And still, all she could bring herself to say was, "I know." Because deep down, she still felt a bit of reluctance to go after Thanos, to either kill him of have him kill her, a part of her still attached to him. She had no idea why. She shouldn't be feeling that way. It was that kind of reluctance to do something you knew you had to do that got people hurt.

"Well, I didn't want to give him the Tesseract, and we all see where that's gotten us. I doubt the Collector is as powerful as the combined might of Asgard. Heimdall likely sent Banner to Earth, and he also would have wanted to warn one who possesses a stone, and as you obviously haven't been warned, the sorcerer is the only other possibility." Loki closed his eyes for a brief moment, attempting to see Banner. He'd never been particularly good at scrying, but it was worth a shot. "Aye, Banner is with the sorcerer, as well as the Iron man, as well as a woman, I know her not."

Cap:
He wanted to ask how Bruce had ended up in Asgard, but he didn't even bother. There were too many other questions that he had to ask, but not enough time to ask all of them, so some were going to have to wait. He was even considering asking why the Tesseract was handed over in the first place, considering the Avengers had handed it over to the Asgardians to be kept safe. But since it was now, apparently, out of the Asgardian's protection, it didn't matter how it had gone to Thanos, just that it did. Instead, he continued to eye Loki and said, "Tony? He's with Bruce, too? I haven't heard from him since-"
"Since he tried to kill us?" Bucky suggested, looking over at them with his eyebrows raised. "Can't wait to get the gang back together so he can try it again."
Steve glanced over at Bucky. They hadn't talked to Tony since the their little 'Civil War', and he hadn't contacted him on the cellphone either. It was like all the Avengers had gone their separate ways since then, and now something bad was happening and they needed to be united. Steve would reunite with the team if it meant saving the world, but he knew others would do so a little more grudgingly. Tony had wanted to kill Bucky, and Steve knew that his friend wasn't going to forgive him that easily. But Steve was just still waiting for that call, to hear Tony's voice, to hear him say that he needed help. Maybe today would be the day. Maybe he'd finally get over his grudge and call, realizing that the world was actually at risk.
Quill:
Peter let out a sigh. "Well, this is getting depressing," he said, letting go of her. It felt like a funeral, and he didn't want to say goodbye just yet. Not ever, really. But he knew what she was thinking because he was thinking similar thoughts, and now that the world was coming to an end as they knew it, it was hard to push the thoughts away no matter how hard you tried. "We're getting close," he said, turning away from her. "We should be there soon, and, with luck, we'll just get the stone and get out of there no problem. The Collector might be a little tough, but we can persuade him to give us the stone if we have to."

“Wait,” Loki said, sitting up and pushing Jemma’s hand away, “the Avengers disbanded? That is very, very not good.” Thanos had broken his neck after beating the Hulk in seconds. A mere lieutenant had incapacitated Thor. If they didn’t show a united front, they’d be utterly destroyed. “Believe me, this is an ‘all hands on deck’ scenario. If they have a power and you have any way of contacting them, you need to do that now.”
(unless there are objections, I’m gonna bring in the Defenders as communal characters)
“I may know a few people.” Coulson didn’t like it, but it seemed like he had to take Loki at his word. “Grey, there’s a lawyer in Hell’s Kitchen you need to talk to named Matt Murdock. I’ll send you a file you need to read first. We still need this Quinjet, but there should be one at the base you can summon once you’re ready.” “On it, boss.” Grey walked over to the jump door, pulling on his helmet. Sliding open the door, he toppled forwards, extending his wings as he did so, the door automatically closing behind him. He pulled up the file Coulson had sent him. “What the hell are the Defenders,” he muttered under his breath.

Gamora:
Gamora stepped away from Peter when he let go of her, agreeing that it was depressing and it was only really making her feel worse about going to Knowhere. Better to just get there and get it over with. Her father made his choice, and so would she. She couldn't let herself have any doubts. He was a murderer, and he had to be stopped. "Right," she said with a nod. "We have such effective methods of persuasion." It wasn't exactly sarcastic, just that sometimes what the Guardians did to get others to agree with them were... strange, to say the least. What she was really worried about was what they were going to do with the stone if they got it. But improvising was another thing she and the others were good at, so she decided to push her concerns from her mind for the time being. Then, she looked at Peter for a moment more before turning and walking back to the front of the ship where her seat was. It was going to be a stressful rest of the day.

(That's all good with me (: )
Cap:
Steve frowned. "Believe me, it wasn't the way I wanted it to go down either," he said, thinking back to all that had happened. It seemed like so long ago now, and he hadn't seen Tony, Thor, or Bruce for that long - even longer. Still, he couldn't have seen it gone down any other way. In the end, they all had their own opinions and they had picked their sides. If Steve had to choose again, he would have chosen the same, but he would have hoped to convince the others. "I would have preferred we all stayed together," he added, "but we're a... dysfunctional family, so to say. And families fight."
"And apparently hold really long grudges," Bucky put in.
Steve nodded. "Right. But we really can't afford any grudges right now," he said, realizing that even if he couldn't forgive Loki wholeheartedly, he couldn't hold a grudge. Somehow, Steve now understood that Loki was being genuine. Maybe he was a god of tricks and mischief - that's just who he was - but he was also trying to warn them, to save them from something bigger than them all. There was no time for grudges or fighting on their team... because they needed their team, and they needed it united. "When we get to Avengers Tower, we can try to give the others a call," he said, noticing that Coulson attempting to gather a few people as well. "Because, you're right, we're going to need all the help we can get."
Quill:
Peter's eyes turned towards Gamora and his gaze lingered on her as she walked away. He stared at her for a bit too long without blinking, for his eyes grew blurry, but by then he began to look back out the window. The entryway to Knowhere was right in front of them now and their ship approached it smoothly. But... where was everyone? He usually expected at least a little bit of traffic - maybe one or two ships at the least? - but there was no one, and when the Milano glided into Knowhere's atmosphere, he realized it was empty. Almost like it had been evacuated... or abandoned. This caused his brows to crease with both worry and curiosity, and he looked over at Gamora. "Where is everyone?" he asked, one syllable at a time.

“Families fight,” Steve had said. Loki certainly had plenty of evidence to back up that assumption, although recent events weren’t exactly typical of any family. “That may be true, but when things get bad, family sticks together. The only reason I’m not still in a cell under Asgard is because there was an incident threatening the universe.” Well, okay, also because he’d faked his own death, secretly deposed Odin, and ruled in his place for years, but that wouldn’t be helpful to share. Also, the isolationism he’d established may possibly have been how Thanos was able to get his gauntlet. “And I must say, it’s quite a relief to hear that you agree this is no time for grudges,” Loki said, with a disarming smile. “Now, would you mind introducing me to these new people?” he asked, casually gesturing towards Mystique, Sabertooth, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. “I’ve managed to keep myself informed on the Avengers, but I have no idea who these other people are.”

Cap:
"Well, that's what I'm hoping," Steve said. And he truly was. Whatever their past quarrels, the team needed to stick together. But he lifted one eye at that comment from Loki about grudges. "I said I won't hold a grudge, but you're still not on my good list," he said, managing a smile. "So don't get any ideas, hm? As for the new people" - his eyes slid over to the others and then to Logan - "they're new to me as well. Logan, could you introduce your friends?"
Logan:
Logan let out a gruff laugh. Friends? That was a nice word for them, but it definitely wasn't a word he'd ever use to describe them. Not in hundreds of years (and he was literally that old). He crossed his arms, leaning against the wall of the jet, and eyed the costumed man suspiciously. "You probably don't know me either, so I'll introduce myself as well. I'm Logan." His hand lifted in a small wave before returning to his chest. "As for the others, that's Mystique," he said pointing to her, "and that's Sabertooth... my brother." He frowned at his brother. He didn't like the fact that either one of them was around, but now they were definitely going to need all the help they could get. "You don't want to get on either one of their bad sides, but I have a feeling the same goes for any one of us. We all put up a good fight."

Gamora:
When Gamora reached the window at the front of the ship, she stopped. Knowhere was uncharacteristically empty. Not a single ship in sight. It had an almost eerie quality to it, the way it seemed as if everyone there just up and left without a trace. But they wouldn't do that, would they? The place was invaluable, with boundless resources to be mined and sold. No one would ever just leave... unless someone had made them. Someone very powerful and persuasive. Suddenly, Gamora had an uneasy feeling that they had gotten there too late. It would take someone like Thanos to get everyone in Knowhere to run for the hills. "I don't know..." Gamora replied, her eyes still glued to the sight. "But something about this isn't good."

“But of course, Captain. It would be rather foolish of you to do so.” Loki listened politely as Logan introduced himself and the other two, Mystique lifting a hand in acknowledgement as Logan mentioned her name, briefly shifting into Loki’s form before reverting to her own. Interesting, he thought. I wonder if that’s an illusion or actual shape shifting. So, based on Logan’s tone, Sabertooth and Mystique were about as trustworthy as he had been a few years back, but as for getting on their bad sides, he was fairly certain that, if worse came to worst, he could handle them.

The reason why I haven't been on is because I have literally been focusing on a project and scholarships. I know this is exciting and that certain timelines need to happen but it doesn't have to be right now nor right away. right now, getting through 3 days of school that I have left with a project due is more important than being here. I understand that its exciting and we're advancing, but Night, please realize that I cant be here 24/7 and none of us can either.
I'm not relinquishing control of the rp, nor am I willing to be pressured into replying to something I have absolutely no muse during the moment of when I was requested to reply. Like I said, homework is first, along with swim and then play. I will now reply and try to read what's going on.

Tony Stark stood there, facing Jean with a look of weariness on his face. His lips curled into a frown, as if wondering who this person was. His dark orbs flicked to Jean then, as if saying, 'A friend of yours?' However his attention snapped to Banner beside him. Everything inside of Tony seemed to crack and shatter before being rebuilt on a small glimmer of hope. "Bruce? What's going on? And why do you need my help?" he was asking questions at thousands of miles an hour, his lips curling back slightly and his eyes narrowing slightly. His body tensed up, his throat tightening. Is this about the whole 'we need the avengers' kind of thing because he was going to chew someone out.
Alyona watched on with small curiosity, her lips pressing into a heavy frown then as Borya's dark orbs flickered open. The evergreen hues shifted, as if intaking everything before he finally settled his gaze on Loki. The Russian didn't do anything except listen to Viktor's deep growl at the god of mischief before looking at the smaller Russian shifting against Bucky. She pulled her legs up, now sitting beside Bucky and looking up at Steve. "I'm Alyona," she finally spoke up, her accent lilting her voice before gesturing to her brother. "This is my brother, Borya. It is nice to meet you Loki." Though, she seemed to hate her word choice. She hated anyone who couldn't tell a truth. Loki was the god of mischief- it gave her every reason not to trust him.

Jean
“At some point I need to have a discussion with you, but that can wait,” Jean said to Strange. Whatever he was here for was certainly a more pressing and important issue, and it seemed like she was about to have some superheroing to do. Of course, the two could be related, but Jean figured that it could wait until after Strange had said his piece. Her eyes briefly flicked to Stark’s face, and from the air of confusion about him, he and Strange had never met.
Loki
“A pleasure to meet you as well,” Loki replied, giving a brief nod to the Aliyevs. Unsurprisingly, they also seemed not to trust him. Loki swept his hair back into place, then, with a shimmer of green light, he magicked his blood away, mending his clothes as well. He was wearing the same thing he’d worn at the fall of Asgard; the design from Sakaar, but black and dark jade instead of blue. He didn’t have the cape or the horns on at the moment, but both could be summoned into existence in an instance if he needed them.

Quill:
Peter nodded, eying the surrounding area cautiously as the Milano stopped. He lifted himself from his seat and walked to stand beside Gamora. He was sure that something was up, that maybe they were just a hair too late, but he didn't want to say anything. He watched over her shoulder, silently, for a minute, and then said, "Well, let's go check it out. We'll just have to lay low and be quiet about it. There's not much attention here to attract, but that just means we'll stick out even more." He let out a breath and then opened the hatch, lowering the door to the ship. He pushed a few of his weapons into his holster and then made for the ramp. Fresh Knowhere air. There was nothing else like it.
Cap:
"Well, lucky for you, Loki, I'm not a fool either," he said, lifting an eyebrow at the god after the others had introduced themselves. He then narrowed his eyes when Loki's wound was healed and glanced at Jemma Simmons for a brief moment. His eyes said 'thank you', but he should have known that Loki could have fixed himself up if he needed to. Not a fool, hm? He almost rolled his eyes at himself, but instead turned towards the pilot's area. "Daisy, how close are we to base?" he asked. "Coulson's not the only one who has to make a few phone calls."
Bucky:
Bucky glanced down over at Alyona as she shifted beside him. Her body had grown warm in his side, and the little movement caused part of him to grow cold again. He felt a shiver run down his spine. "How're you holding up?" he asked her. "We should be back soon... And, I guess there's a lot more going on than we originally thought, but we all have a choice to make," he said. "No one will think you or Borya a coward if you do not want to fight. We just got you both back, after all, and the horrors you two must have seen was enough for a lifetime." He didn't want to sound like her father... and none of them really knew the whole story about what was going on anyways, but he didn't want her to have to fight. How could he protect her then?

(Eh, I was thinking more along the lines of Loki isn’t trying to press any issues right now and he’s jut going to play along with what Simmons is saying until he starts to gain some trust, because there are more important things to do) (Also, are we going upstate or to the tower?)
Loki and S.H.I.E.L.D.
“It’ll be a while. Scotland isn’t too close to New York, and the Zephyr’s fast, but not that fast,” Daisy answered. She was still a little tense; Loki had killed Coulson once, and she wasn’t going to let him do it again, but you couldn’t tell from looking at her; Ward and May had taught her well. “You can make your calls now if you want, though. We’ve got it set up so you can make an untraceable call from orbit, if you want to.” “And after that, I’m sure Loki would be happy to tell us what else he knows, and what he’s been up to these past six years.” Coulson interjected. “Oh, without a doubt,” Loki replied. “But first, I should know what Thor has told you of myself, so I can avoid repeating common knowledge.”

(You can have Valkyrie find a ship on the planet the escape pods took the Asgardians to and start making her way to Earth if you want, but neither of your characters are currently involved with any of the groups we have going. Might as well bring Sif, too; she seems like a good candidate for getting dissolved.)

Gamora:Gamora nodded without a word. She quickly fetched her weapons and put them in their sheaths, including her sword and her jeweled knife, then walked back to Peter and stepped outside. She hadn't had to call the others; Drax and Mantis both knew they had arrived and that it was time to get serious. None of them wasted any time in getting where they needed to go. Straight to the Collector. If it was too late, and he no longer had the stone... well, then, at least they would find out. She didn't want to think about what would happen if they were too late and Thanos already had what he needed. She crept towards the back of the Collector's place, ducking behind a pile of boxes and being scrupulously certain not to make any noise. Gamora peeked over the edge of the boxes, just enough to see inside the building, and a jolt of fear ran down her spine. There he was. Standing right there. Having reached the Collector before they could. Thanos. (We're going to need you to jump in now, Πιghtωιηg.)

Thank you Cap. Its nice to see y’all and new faces! Remember, if yall need a break or something to destress or to just take a breather, do so. We’re here and we can wait.)
We can go to the tower; it doesn’t matter.)
—
Alyona turned her gaze from the stranger to Bucky. Her minty green eyes flickered over his face, her lips pursing slightly as she listened. Slowly, her hand slid over his and held it. “I’ll do what I can to help,” she softly responded. “I can fight some, but my brother usually does that,” she briefly paused, for once smiling again and her soft voice filling the air as she breathed out, “Bucky, I’ve been put through worse when Borya was Hydra. I can put out a few more ways of effort for you.”
It was true. She did go through quite the beating mentally and maybe physically when Borya was a Hydra agent. Even when she said that, Borya had visible flinched back and looked away from his conversing sibling to Steve and Coulson. Alyona had looked down from Bucky’s dark gaze then, her cheeks turning red as she tried to avoid eye contact. “I-if thats okay,” she added softly
