Your mission, should you choose to accept it.....
About a half-hour after he had overhead Steve and Anya's conversation, the Avengers get a message from Charlie on their comms.

"We've got a situation, team. Steve and Anya's futures are at stake here. Drop whatever it is you're doing and meet me in the lobby. Now." And yes, when Charlie uses a stern tone of voice it means that he means BUSINESS.

They'll find Charlie waiting the lobby, tapping his foot impatiently, keys to one of the Quinjets in one hand...and a list of the most popular quick 'n speedy wedding chapels in Las Vegas in another.

	James came running into the foyer. "What's going on? What happened to Anya and Steve?" James of course was in uniform. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Toni had gotten to the lobby so fast she was reasonably certain she'd gone the straight line way there and left a Toni-shaped hole in several walls behind her. Anya was in trouble. She was going to be there. "What's going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Were they kidnapped?" Sammy demanded when she joined them in a hurry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Daniel had been meditating. He might smell like a few stinky herbs but otherwise he is present and accounted for. "What's going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	danielle_cage 2010-01-17 05:06 am UTC (link)
	"Whaz goin' on?" Dani said, panting a little, having sprinted to the lobby from one end of the mansion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Having run in the front doors of the lobby with a pant Ryan asked, “What happened are they alright?” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique flitted in ready to go amidst all of this and just looked at Charlie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iason hovers down the stairs and into the meeting area, as ready as ever. "Why the distress?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, they haven't been kidnapped," Charlie said, "And Shrimp...you don't need the uniform." The look on his face is stern, serious. "I overheard a conversation between Steve and Anya earlier this afternoon. About a half-hour ago." He inhaled. "Steve and Anya ran off to Vegas to elope." Yes, that look on his face is dead serious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Anya and Steve are going to elope?" James asked with a puzzled look on his face. He was almost disappointed that they weren't going out to fight bad guys. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No joke, Toni," Charlie said, "He's my best friend, and he's about to do something stupid. Anya's a great girl, and she's like my sister, and while yes, they are in love and do bring out the best in each other as a couple, they are far too young for marriage." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-01-18 02:22 am UTC (link)
	"This is outrageous, Rogers. Anya might be like a sister to you and Steve may be your best friend but they're their own people. We can't dictate their private affairs," Daniel says in a serious tone. He didn't want to step in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Anya would do something like this," James said. "She can be a bit...impulsive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2010-01-18 02:25 am UTC (link)
	"Anya would totally do this," Toni affirmed. "Okay, load up the Quinjet. I have to go kill her and then hold Steve down so Charlie can kill him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But it's hard to believe she'd run off and get married without even consulting anyone. ... Even about the dress." Vernique's priorities are in order as she's growing herself back up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I left Tony and Tasha a voicemail," he said, "He'll pass the message on to Clint and Bobbi. Better we crash then angered parents anyway. And Steve will basically go along with anything that Anya puts him up to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This isn't you getting crazy on us because you want a weekend in Vegas and can't get anybody to go with you, is it?" Suspicious Sammy can't shut it off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Vegas is a very big city so how are we going to find them,” asked Ryan having now caught his breath. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	borntolead 2010-01-18 02:34 am UTC (link)
	"No, Sammy, it is not." Charlie said. He then held up the list in his hand, a grin on his face. "Hence why I have this. A list of the most popular quick 'n speedy wedding chapels in Vegas. Some of the lesser known ones too...but Anya wouldn't want something too sleezy, even if it is a shotgun wedding." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-01-18 02:36 am UTC (link)
	James scratched his head. "I don't think Mom would use a shotgun. A 9mm would be more like it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2010-01-18 02:38 am UTC (link)
	Toni shook her head. "Seventeen years of reasonably keeping her out of trouble, and now this," Toni muttered. "Damn Stark..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-01-18 02:40 am UTC (link)
	"The shotgun would be used to force one of them to marry the other," Sammy explained to James. "Which wouldn't be the problem. Your brother likes to exaggerate whenever possible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, the familial and social pressure is...obviously other way round for this. But we'd better all go." Beat. "And if we can catch a magic show at the Rio when we're done, so much the better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am not exaggerating," he said, folding his arms over his chest. "And yes, we should. They could be standing in front of Elvis right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thought Elvis was dead? You mean he's alive?!" James perked up. He was a closet Elvis fan. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I guess I should go. I can narrow down where they are with a simple spell after all," Daniel says with a small eye roll. They're all mad he thinks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“So who’s piloting us there,” asked Ryan hoping for someone a bit calmer was driving, that way he didn't have to worry about them literally crashing the wedding. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm cleared for the Quinjets." Vernique wondered if, being the oldest, she had some sort of responsibility here. She certainly hoped not. Still, she looked at Charlie. "But Toni, how about you do it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	danielle_cage 2010-01-18 03:22 am UTC (link)
	"I'm cleared to co-pilot," Dani said. Because the idea of Charlie and Toni flying. Utterly TERRIFYING. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2010-01-18 03:23 am UTC (link)
	"Either of you can co-pilot," Toni told them. "I'll take the stick." She looked around. "Let's move it, people!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ryan was following right after the others while he would have preferred someone else to be flying he knew better than to get in the way of that warpath. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Toni paused just long enough to give Iason a look that, even at a distance, could have easily stripped paint. Then she was off to the Quinjet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2010-01-18 04:02 am UTC (link)
	He hates to disappoint his friends, but the Eternals have a long history of non-involvement with matters involving human law and contracts, including war, and in this case, contracts of marriage. If invited, he'll accompany, but he's currently making no move like he's going to be any help. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As they loaded into the Quinjet, Vernique called over her shoulder. "Might as well tag along, Iason." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2010-01-19 01:29 am UTC (link)
	He takes the time to grab some reasonable clothes, and catches up quickly enough, even if they've already taken off. "May as well. It looked like an interesting place when I last passed over it." (Reply to this)(Parent)
