shieldsup | First Shield: A lack of unstable molecules...[Action/Voice]

[Action]

[Early in the evening of July 9th, Susan Richards wakes up in a very, very strange place, an unfamiliar couch. In YOUR living room. She blinks and looks around, extremely confused. When this strange, blond woman sees you...her eyes go wide she disappears, clothes and all. Astute listeners may hear the sounds of her feet as she gets up and moves away from you and the couch.]

Wha! What on Earth?! WHO are you and WHERE am I?

[Susan's voice is pretty demanding for an invisible person who just woke up in your house, and it seems to be coming from all around you, her powers distorting it.

Maybe you could help talk some sense into her? Explain the situation? Perhaps you're feeling pretty mad? Break time, go nuts! This isn't locked to anyone!]

Voice

[Much, much later, Susan's voice will appear over the journal after she's collected herself and gotten out of whoever's house she wound up in]

Hello everyone. This is Susan Richards of the Fantastic Four. If there are any members of the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the X-Men, or even anyone that just recognizes my name I would appreciate it if you would get in touch with me. Hell, even if you are just feeling helpful and are willing to share information, I'd really appreciate it. I've just arrived and I need help getting my bearings. I don't want to impose, but I really need some answers.

Also, if anyone comes across a blue jumpsuit with a 4 on it, I'd ask that they not touch it, its made of highly unstable molecules that can react oddly to anyone that isn't me.

[Her voice isn't terribly upset, more confused. Its not like she's never woken up in strange places or been in rough situations alone before. Thats...sort of what the Fantastic Four do!]

(OOC: Feel free to break time with the action portion of the post! I've got nobody in particular who needs to find her so she can wake up in anyone's living room that wants an Invisible Woman)

[Wow she is....

way too old for you, Ayumu, stop thinking those things]

Yeah, it can be. But you get used to it after a while.

Might see you down there. Shockingly, I'm one of the regulars.

[Although less so since Pepper showed up. It's nice when there's actually company to keep in his own house.]

Besides, I'd like to hear more about you and your special suit. Kind of an interest of mine, you know.

I was going to ask if it was just the invisibility.

I've been here for a little over two months.

Really? And does he like eggs?

Kang is no laughing matter, and...which Super Skrull? Kl'rt? Or one of the others?

[She smiles kindly. She is impressed, these are some pretty big accomplishments for kids.]

And how long have you been here? Since, I gather time stops at home.

Well, if you'd like to join me, I'm wearing it right now.

[She laughs.]

If you're there, I'll see you.

And how are you liking it? Are there others from your world here?

It was Kl'rt, yeah. I didn't even know there were other Super Skrulls.

[Super Skrulls in training, maybe- there's always Xavin.]

[Peter starts to laguh excitedly for a moment before calming himself down with a goofy smile.]

I guess I'll find out! Gotta admit, it's pretty cool to hear about this stuff.

Yea, there are others. Kl'rt is...was...the Emperor's Champion. Its funny to think about him, really. Given that he started as a way for the Skrulls to kill us, but I think they thought better of it after a while.

Haha, it could all be different, but from what I've seen here you're still the same Peter. Perhaps some things never change.

Yeah... I never really understood the guy, but I guess he's kind of on our side now. The Skrull empire's kind of a mess these days, anyway.

That might be worth the trip. See you in a half-hour.

[Which is basically Tony Speak for an hour. Usually. But he may more or less be on time thanks to Pepper, who will be accompanying Tony as he enters the familiar atmosphere--pay no mind to the crutches and leg cast. Not like he got mangled on the moon or somethin'.]

[Closer to on time. Pepper is a bit wary of Tony meeting Sue in person, considering her own encounter of the woman earlier and the conversation between her and Tony that Pepper had seen. But Sue had given her word, so hopefully his interest really was in what Sue was wearing. Either way, Pepper invokes her SO privileges and comes along.

So yes, Pepper's back to opening doors for Mr. Mangled-on-the-Moon. They'll make their way over, and Pepper will smile to the woman.]

Hello again. I guess you changed your mind about having a stronger drink.

[Sue doesn't bat an eyelash, and smiles back pleasantly at Pepper. After her conversation with Billy and with Steve, she was feeling pretty much like a drink would've been in order.

She's not going back on her word, in fact she's already spoken to Billy.]

Hello again Pepper. Yes, I did, after my conversation with Billy. Our worlds timelines match up within a few months, so we had a long talk about the state of things. It'll help me sleep, honestly. Exciting day.

It really is.

[Sue stands and wipes her mouth]

Billy, I'm going to step out and try and find my suit. Its not something anyone else needs to be messing with too much. I'll return shortly, if you don't mind.

Oh- yeah, of course. [He blinks, standing up with her. It's polite to walk your guest out, right? His mother would throw a party to see him doing this stuff on his own, yeah.] You're welcome to come over any time.

Mrs. Richards. [Look, he'll even start off by invoking a bit of formality. Don't get used to it.]

Enjoying our little village so far? You have to admit--between the wars and monthly experiments, it has its charms. [Cheekily.]

[Pepper is so proud of that formality. Even if she knows it won't last.]

I can't say I blame you. There's a lot to take in the first day. [Pepper's first day had ended in the same bar, in fact. And Pepper doesn't miss that Sue talked to Billy, but she doesn't press. Especially not with Tony right there.

And speaking of, Pepper will wait until Tony gets settled to get his crutches out of the way, propped safely against a wall.]

I'll be back in a minute. [Pepper smiles to Tony, then heads off to the bar to order one scotch and one vodka martini.

And yes, there will be olives.]

[Sue, for her part, has been there for a short while and has been gently nursing a whiskey-sour. She hadn't drank much since the kids were born but tonight it just felt right]

So far, its been nothing but accommodating. It's got a nice atmosphere though, like Reed's cousin's place in Scotland. And please, call me Sue.

[She raises her glass and nods at Pepper, leaning casually against the bar and giving Tony an appraising look. A broken leg? Well, she hasn't seen that in a long time...]

What happened to you, Tony? One of those experiments?

[She lets herself be lead out, and goes about gathering her suit, and having conversations with various others, in particular one Pepper Potts.

Several hours later, Susan knocks on the door to Billy's apartment again, this time carrying a bag filled with various dry goods.]

Edited 2012-07-16 07:22 (UTC)

Can't imagine myself any other way. [Maybe a bit better at juggling his personal life and the superhero life. Hopefully nothing like when he had the symbiote.] Least I hope so.

[Billy's in the middle of his getting-ready-for-bed stage of the day, since there isn't as much to keep him awake late at night as there was back home. He's only half-dressed and brushing his teeth when the door knocks, so Susan will probably here a hasty thump-thump-thump of his feet as he scrambles to get a shirt on, opening the door a moment later with frumpy hair and a toothbrush in his mouth. Whoops, he'd forgotten she was coming back.]

...Mmrrow.
