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)

[The book floats out of Ayumu's hand, turning invisible as it does so]

Susan. Susan Richards. I'm not Japanese, you don't need the honorific, Ayumu...kun?

[She's not the best with Japanese but]

I won't tell if you won't.

I'm thirty-nine.

I can keep it a secret!!

[Pepper nods, then points to one of the stores close by.]

You'll find whatever clothing you need in there. And I don't mind waiting a few minutes.

[It's nothing new, considering how often she waits on Tony in one fashion or another. She settles on a bench beside the fountain, and busies herself with her journal, pulling it out of the bag she carries.]

[They don't. But the first makes him wary.]

Not a bit. I think you might know a copycat marching to a different drum. Met anyone you can pinpoint to being from your same universe yet?

No, not at all Peter. You're definitely YOUNGER than I remember, but in my reality we're good friends. You were at my wedding. Well...your persona. Assuming you still got bitten by that you know what.

No. Repeat that. Slowly.

You'd better. I don't need people thinking I'm an old lady...

They conduct these Shifts that screw with our minds, perceptions, and even bodies. Remember when I told you not to trust anything here? That's why.

...or, was it the fact that they tossed the moon at the village last year that got you?

[Sue nods and leaves, returning a few minutes later in a blue jumpsuit with a 4 emblazoned across the chest.]

Thank you for waiting Ms. Potts. Its better that this didn't get taken by someone else.

Nope!! It'll be a complete secret! But you're younger than both of my parents!

[He's really only respectful when the situation nominally calls for it, so that's okay with him.] Just Ayumu's fine. [Especially since she's likely speaking English, it'd be weird.]

There's a lot more explanation in that book. I'm just stuck here like you are now.

[She knows when you're lying, even now. And now you aren't. THAT earns you a HEAVY sigh of relief Tony. If you were from HER world...boy you don't even wanna KNOW what she'd do to you]

Yes. Billy Kaplan. Wiccan. I've met with quite a few people I recognize,
but not anyone else from my reality. Do they still call you Iron Man?

[Billy very carefully doesn't move; he doesn't feel like getting blasted into the wall by doing anything reckless, even if it would be cool bragging rights after the fact. It would hurt, thank you very much.]

Uh... I don't know why you ended up here, but I'm Billy. I- ...do you know anything about the Young Avengers?

[Inwardly he's thinking: yeah right, because no one around here does, but here's hoping.]

[Pepper puts her things away when she sees Susan approach, and is standing by the time the woman reaches her.]

Yes, you mentioned that. Something about unstable molecules.

[Which makes the outfit unique for more reasons than its appearance. But that's more Tony's department than hers, so she'll turn toward the opposite side of the plaza.]

The teashop is this way. They also serve coffee, if that's your preference.

The moon. That. That's just...

[Wait a minute Susan. Calm down. You've fought Galactus, torn apart Celestials, and met the Almighty.]

You know what, no. I can accept that.

Haha, thats fair. You know though, I've got a son about your age at home.

It was around Halloween, and the Malnosso really like Earthly holidays. They're most likely to do something just as dramatic this year.

...its good that you're so open minded. A lot of New Feathers don't want to accept. We still have a few running about who are trying to examine things scientifically from two cycles ago.

Really? What's his name?

Stuck here? What do you mean?

[There are sounds of an open book at least]

[Quietly she listens to what he has to say before her face comes back into view, over by one of the windows. Its just hovering there, the rest of her is invisible still. She remembers the Young Avengers...she's seen them on TV, and heard about them from Steve and Tony. This one, Billy...]

Young Avengers? Yes, I've heard of you. Billy Kaplan, right? Wiccan?

Yes, my husband designed them to work with our...unique...genetics.

[She follows your lead and turns towards the teashop]

That's fine. Tea, coffee. Something strong.

[She recognizes him.

....

She recognizes him!!

Oh my god, the Invisible Woman knows who I am. How cool is that!?]

Y... yeah, that's me. Listen, I can explain what's going on, I think. Can you, um, turn visible or something? This is kind of weird.

Franklin. Franklin Richards.

[She sounds a little sad. But if what she'd gathered is true, he wouldn't be going anywhere without her, since time stopped...]

[He's starting to feel really unenthusiastic about other!Tony.]

They do. The one and only. Who are the Fantastic Four? Not Avengers or X-Men. I wasn't aware there were any other teams in the game.
