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)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[A rustle, followed by a questioning voice that doesn't lose its edge]

I am. Who are you and why am I in your house?

[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.]

[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?

[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.

Oh. Um. Sure.

[And suddenly she's visible, wearing her New Feather dress and a very, VERY confused look.]

So. Go on.

[Phew, okay. He relaxes a little, moving to the counter to ditch the supplies he'd started to gather up and trade it out for his journal, lifting it up.]

Do you see one of these around you?

[Sue nods and walks over to the couch, picking up a similar book...that has her name on it]

This, yes?

Yeah, that's it. Think of it as your new phone plan.

[He opens up his own journal, flipping through it to try and track down the guide. He'll explain what he can in the meantime.]

Okay, uh... this is another world. Don't know how we got here, but there's a few hundred people here trapped in this place, from a bunch of different worlds and universes. We all get these when we arrive for some reason. [He jerks a thumb over his shoulder, turning a little to show off his little blue wings.] It's called Luceti.

Another world? Like another dimension, or more like the Negative Zone?

[She'd felt the wings, and she turns and inspects them]

Oh...thats what those are? What...on earth are they for?

You got me. [He shrugs slightly, lips pursing.] Whoever brought here isn't all that forthcoming about why we need wings. And I don't know if it's another world or a dimension or what- we're stuck in a barrier around the village, so there's no way to see most of the world.

I take it they can't be removed? Do you think it would be bad if I just made them invisible?

[She tries this, and nothing bad happens. It feels a bit weird]

So, this barrier. How strong is it? and how big is the enclosure?

...Wow, I didn't even think of that.

[SHE'S SO LUCKY, THAT'S REALLY COOL. 8|]

And yeah, you can't get rid of the wings. They keep us alive here somehow.

Strange, but, alright.

[She nods]

And about the barrier?

Tougher than I thought it would be. I tried everything I could to break it or get past it, but I couldn't do it.

And, forgive me Billy for drawing a blank, but...you're a sorceror right? Like Stephen Strange?

[She knows OF you, but not much about you]

[PFFFFFFFFT]

Oh god, I wish I was like Dr. Strange.

[Okay, yeah, that was probably a little too fanboyish.]

...Uh, but yeah. I do magic.

Haha, don't we all?

[She laughs herself and eases into a nearby chair]

If you do magic, and it didn't work then I'm going to guess that my powers would be similarly useless against the barrier?

[He shrugs.]

I don't know. I think anything's worth a shot, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work either.

Then tomorrow, I'll give it a shot. How big is the enclosure? Are we in some sort of house sized prison plane? Or is it bigger?

[She asks because she's been in one before, of course...DAMMIT REED]

No, bigger than a house. I think it takes a few days to get from one end to the other, and there's mountains and an ocean on the east side. It's not bad for a prison, I guess.

[He trails off there. He's seen worse.]

That's something, then. Better than last time.

[Sue's eyebrow raises as he trails off. Could he be...god she hopes not. Reed...]

Billy, what year is it where you're from?

[...Oh, wow. He honestly should have expected that question; finding out when other people are from, chronologically, is kind of a staple question these days.

Still... she's kind of an enemy, as far as sides go. But maybe she's beyond that? Or before it happened?]

It's... 2011. Mid-spring.

[He pauses, and then adds hastily, just in case-]

But there's no war here! I mean, there is, but not with supers. And there's no law. And no prison. And...

[And he's rambling.]

[Oh, Oh LORD! She hadn't even thought about that!]

Billy...its late spring, 2011 for me.

[She'd just heard about Reed's prison...and SHIELD, and...oh it was awful]

[But his haste, it starts to make things in her head turn, thoughts and gears. Billy Kaplan, Young Avengers. They were with Steve. She'd met with...Patriot...at least when she'd met up with the other rebels.]

You don't have to worry...not about me. I'm on Steve's side, not Tony's

[She's just full of surprises today, isn't she? So for a long moment, he can do nothing but stare.]

You're... what? Since when?

[Has that much changed since he was captured?]
