Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree @ 09:59 pm

[info]nextgen_holiday:

Each year toward the end of December people come together with friends and family to celebrate and exchange gifts. The atmosphere is light, merry and there is plenty of cheer to go around. Holiday music fills the air while bright colorful lights light up the nights. Mistletoe is placed in strategic locations and people are willing caught under it.

It's a time of celebration, even for superheroes.

Regrouping @ 07:36 pm

[info]nextgen_misc:

Kal flew the ship to the rendezvous point to meet up with the other team. The affects of the time distortion were quite evident on the faces and in the hair of the members of her team. They all had more wrinkles and gray in their hair. Some were a little worse than others.

She brought the ship down on the small planet and they waited for the others.

[info]nextgen_misc:

After the Avengers got the Kree into containment they headed into space to find out what was going on. Kal brought them to Titan and from there to Knowehere. They arrived suddenly out of the blue in the middle of the station. The alarms went off at the sudden appearance of strangers in the station.

The Viper's Bite @ 08:54 pm

[info]onearmofhydra:

Things were going according to plan. Viper was quite please by the way things were progressing. Alliances had been made. Plans were laid and the attack against the RenTech factory had been a great decoy. The real attack had been on another RenTech factory where working Zero Point Energy Modules were being stored. Once she had her hands on an energy source powerful enough to power the weapon scientists had develop she could initiate the next part of her plan.

The weapon was almost powerful enough to blacken a large city, but Olivia had other plans. More important plans. The ZPEM was put into the weapon and the weapon was on a large cargo ship in the Atlantic a few miles off the coast of New York Habor. The weapon was powered up.

A blinding white light shot forth from the weapon and blazed a trail across the sky. The light slammed into the Helicarrier, SHIELD's flying fortress.

While the distraction of the impact of the ion pulse slammed into the Helicarrier, a small flying craft came in right behind the blinding white light. It landed on the deck while panic and chaos broke out on the flying fortress.

Courting Death - Signs @ 10:12 pm

[info]notinplainsight:

Kalypso wasn't sleeping, she didn't need to sleep, but she was letting herself doze a bit and let her mind wander. Jack was asleep next to her and she was aware of his rhythmic breathing. She idly wondered what he was dreaming of and while it was tempting to peek into his dreams, Kal respected his privacy.

Her mind wandered.

Then came the warning from her mother. "Stay away from Olympia!" Then Sersi's mental presence was gone. Cut off as quickly as it came.

Kal quickly sat up in the bed. "Mother?" she sent out.

No response.

She searched for other Eternals and found none.

Laudry Day @ 12:45 am

[info]hotblooded:

Since his laundry machine was currently unavailable after some lab mishap and he really needed some clothes Ben headed down to a nearby laundromat to take care of it. He had on some sunglasses to keep himself from being recognized too much while he took care of it. As much as he loved his fans they could sometimes be a pain in the ass to deal with.

He through his darks and his lights into separate washing machines and took a seat to wait till they were done.

It wasn't exactly a warm day outside, but it was very sunny and that's why Kal was out on a chaise on the roof. Solar energy was a great way to recharge and Kal did enjoy the quiet the roof on a chilly day. The cold didn't bother her, just the opposite. It made her feel better and think more clearly.

Her eyes were closed as she soaked up the rays.

Avengers Assemble...for a meeting @ 06:47 pm

[info]nextgen_misc:

Jarvis and his staff made sure the conference room was ready for a meeting. A table with pastries, cookies, and some healthy snacks had been prepared along with one that held various drinks. It wasn't frequent where the Avengers assembled for meetings that had been planned.

The Battle of Olympus @ 11:50 am

[info]nextgen_misc:

The trail eventually led the Avengers, Future Foundation and the Defenders to the other dimensional realm that served as the home of the Greek gods. They traveled to a few realms that were home to other gods only to find them destroyed and in ruins. Olympus wasn't in ruins, but it was under attack. Battle raged all around and the skies thundered and were lit up by lightning bolts.

Its the End of the World as We Know It @ 12:48 pm

[info]treadlightly:

They'd done their scouting. They've put up all the defenses they could, and put themselves in a position to attack. Buck has reviewed what they have on hand, and the situations exploding around them.

"Alright, folks, thank you for your patience. I know its been a tense situation waiting and doing patrol work... but I think we've identified some key points in the enemy strategy. We're still going to have to be careful. We're dealing with major influences here, but...

Alpha Flight... and their current guests, should be obvious. There's every sign that more of the Great Beasts will be awoken... that's a top priority situation.

X-Men... and the Genoshans - in following up the uprisings earlier, we've identified a 'Cult of Apocalypse', who took the whole massive fight before as a sign its time for En Sabbah Nur's awakening. We've located some of their likely strike points, your leadership has marked maps.


Champions and Thunderbolts, we've located a massive danger in the Red Lord. Its been determined that it will likely take both teams to deal with it.

Nightstalkers and Big Hero 6, we have a second target of the same type, Sakhmet. You two are on that.

SHIELD will be picking up on all of the general monitoring, crowd safety and control, and other work we've been doing in the lead up to this.

Finally, Avengers, Defenders and FF - you're with me. We're targeting the masterminds behind this.

Any questions?"

A Time Honored Tradition - Rate the Hunk @ 02:01 pm

[info]anyastark:

Traditions were important.

For a lot of people the day after Thanksgiving meant hitting the stores and getting great deals on items that would most likely be Christmas presents. For the female Avengers and others the day after Thanksgiving meant a different tradition. They would gather and rate the hunkiness of the male members of the various teams.

Anya had been up at the crack of dawn and readied the Thunderbolts' headquarters. Normally this would take place in the Avengers Mansion, but the boys would be holding Rate the Babe there and the girls needed their own space. She made travel arrangements for everyone invited. Avengers, X-Men, SHIELD, Future Foundation, Alpha Flight, Champions, and the Defenders.

Anya had the event catered by a local restaurant, not wanting to make the Thunderbolts chef have to feed so many people. She had even made sure that all of the Kelly's guns were unloaded.

Everything was ready for their guests.

A Day of Thanks @ 11:39 am

[info]nextgen_holiday:

"Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart." - Seneca

In America today is a day for being thankful for the things in people's lives. Today was a day to celebrate family, friends, prosperity and health with food, family and friends. It is a time to reflect on what is important us and to recognize the gratitude we hold for having those things in our lives.

All the armies all the missiles All the symbols of your fear @ 08:05 pm

[info]nextgen_adult:

Captain America, symbol of freedom and hero, had long fought terrorists such as Hydra, AIM and such groups as the Skeleton Crew. Today it was different. Today Captain America led a small group of Hydra soldiers into a missile silo in the mid-west. They quickly overcame the security forces stationed there and reached the control room. It wasn't long before the Hydra agents hacked into the computers and started the launch sequence. In a few moments the missile would launch and strike targets in Russia. The retaliation strikes from Russia would take care of targets in the United States.

It wasn't the only damage done by the symbol of America. He gave the Skeleton Crew and other hydra teams the blueprints and locations of other missile silos across the United States. They easily broke into the bases and started the launch sequences.

The world was on the brink of World War III and no one knew it.

Cleaning the Streets (Open) @ 11:30 pm

[info]crescentdart:

Freerunning across the rooftops Ryan was rather enjoying himself as he went on his patrol through New York City. He was doing some tricks and playing around as he moved across the rooftops. He was still of course paying attention for anything wrong or out of the blue.

It really cleared his head to be able to do this especially after dealing with things down in Miami and was just plain enjoyable for him even if he didn’t get to beat up some bad guys.

Fight for the Future @ 09:12 pm

[info]nextgen_misc:

The Avengers, future and present set off for Castle Zemo. Miranda and Bobby had tracked the unusual radiation and the energy signature of the stolen time traveling device to that location and it was now time to stop Hadelinde and her crew from destroying the future.

The plan was simple. One mixed team of bricks to cause a distraction and the other to sneak in and get the source of the radiation and the time traveling device.
 

August 16th, 2012

Congratulations it's a .... @ 08:21 pm

[info]nextgen_misc:

The Avengers, both present and future, had about two hours of downtime before they would regroup and devise a plan to go after Hadelinde and the Masters of Evil. It was time to get wounds seen to and to grab some of Jarvis' famous chocolate chip cookies.
 

July 14th, 2012

Attack On New York @ 11:21 pm

[info]nextgen_monster:

Hadelinde was a bit shocked when a future kid, hers no less, showed up and told her of the bleak future. In the future she was in prison as was most of the criminal world. The Avengers had brought peace to the world and there wasn't a place in that world for her or her kind. The main driving force was a future Avenger called Solver Svalinsson, now an infant.

That couldn't stand. The future could not play out that way. She would make sure of it. The Avengers would not win, not as long as she was alive. She had to do something now to prevent that future.

The meteor that had fallen in Texas was the key to changing the future. Her son had mentioned the strange properties to her. In his past the Avengers had disposed of it by flinging it into the sun. Hadelinde had changed that by having her Masters of Evil steal it out from under the Avengers.

It had taken time and the lives of some test subjects, but in the end they had been able to harness the mutating radiation from the rock and get the results they desired. Each of the Masters of Evil's abilities were boosted to higher levels in addition to creating some very strong, almost indestructible mutates. It was time to test the mutates' abilities against the Avengers.

If this test went well, then they could produce an army.

Hadelinde had the mutates teleported to the middle of Central Park. She and the Masters of Evil would be nearby to watch.

Happy Birthday (Jack) @ 11:17 pm

[info]notinplainsight:

Kalypso had a difficult time finding gifts for Jack for his birthday. She got him artist supplies of course, but outside of those she couldn't decide on what to get him. Jack never asked for much and never really pointed out things that he liked.

Instead of material items outside of the art supplies, Kal decided on spending the day with him and making it special. Though she was running out of places to take him. They had already been to the Blue Area of the Moon and Titan. It was getting difficult to find special places. Her mother had suggested a place and Kal knew it would be perfect.

She packed a picnic basket of Jack's favorite foods and basket in hand she went looking for him.

Hartley, Texas @ 09:55 pm

[info]nextgen_misc:

The small town of Hartley, Texas was not much more than a wide spot in the road that was situated about an hour northwest of Amarillo. The town was small and the surrounding area consisted of mostly ranches and farms and nothing special ever happened in Hartely.

Until a meteorite burned across the west Texas night sky and landed just outside the town on property belonging to one Martin Reynolds. Martin promptly hauled the meteor into town in his pickup. The townspeople all gathered around to see the hunk of space debris that had crashed to Earth.

The strange space rock was put in the center of town and over the next few days it was the center of the talk of the town and the focus of their attention.

[info]butterflybullet:

The Doctor stuff for Svalin had been going well. The family had been great to see. Now Vernique was going to check out the Nevell factories producing and shipping her perfume. And she was going to bring Solver with her. Let him see something different.

...Let him see different people, in different circumstances, who absolutely were not window dressing.

So she carries him around the floor telling him what's going on.

Bad Medicine @ 02:55 pm

[info]nextgen_baddie:

It wasn't fair! He had spent so much time and money making himself invulnerable, to prepare himself to survive the inevitable nuclear holocaust. He had built an empire, amassing great wealth wealth and power. He had been opposed by the so-called superheroes and the idiots that represented the law. He had attempted vengeance but in the end such efforts had been unproductive. In the end, he had decided to take what was left of his empire, and retire to live out the rest of his life in peace, away from self-righteous fools that dogged him. He had purchased ownership of an unmarked island, and had lived there in decadent luxury. But now...

Now he was dying from a disease adapted to his body. None of his doctors could cure it. His invulnerable body worked against him as his unique immune system prevented any treatments from heading the illness off. He tried to contract underworld doctors into aiding him, but none could do it. Damon Dran was still a wanted man, but..he would need help from the so-called "legitimate" medical community. There was a doctor, Ian Lennox, who had invented a new kind of vaccine. Dran needed him. He gave the order for his people to kidnap the doctor.

He knew this would attract the hated "heroes" so he put in a call to Calvin Hammer, the Mastermind of the Secret Empire. He would need help, the cost seemed negligible at this point.

Nightmares and Dreamscapes - Kal/Buck Angst 11 @ 09:15 pm

[info]notinplainsight:

The scene shifted and Kalypso looked around. The buildings of New York had been destroyed and turned into rubble. The familiar landmarks and buildings were gone. Something had destroyed one of the greatest cities on Earth.

Kal looked around. Where were the Avengers? Why hadn't they stopped this destruction? Where were the Defenders? The X-Men? Any of the other hero teams? Why had they let this happen?

People moved about in the rubble and ruins and Kal desperately sought a familiar face. An elderly gentleman came up to her. He smiled and said her name, but she didn't recognize him. He said her name again and Kal took a closer look at him. "Jack?" No. It couldn't be Jack. Jack wasn't old and this man looked like he was pushing one hundred.

He smiled and nodded. Before he could speak again he started to age more and started turning into dust. "Nooo!" she yelled and reached out a hand. Jack turned completely into dust by the ravages of time and blew away with the wind. Kal's gut twisted into a knot.

There was laughing behind her and she turned to see her uncle standing there. The Mad Titan laughed and destroyed another building.

Kal reached out with her mind to find any Avenger left alive.

Is being snow! (fluff, 14) @ 04:35 pm

[info]needsmoredakka:

In a climate controlled atmosphere such as Knowhere, weather was quite the impossibility. The temperature and atmosphere inside were designed as a compromise to a great number of alien species, which meant that no one was entirely comfortable inside, but that at least no one was in any danger from being inside either.

None of which explained why it was snowing on the Promenade Deck.

Red sneezed, which was followed by a fullbody shake. "...Am not having seen this before."

[info]favoredheir:

The Avengers Mansion was pretty easy to find with how public it was not that Nicolai thought it would be that hard to find otherwise anyways. It was a pretty impressive looking building though it definitely was no castle. The Avengers definitely had impressive technology though.

He had sent a message ahead of time letting them know of his intentions and that he would be coming by soon. The Avengers did a lot of good for the world and the challenges they faced were certainly something he wanted to do himself. He paged the intercom to be let inside.

Twas the Night Before Christmas (Avengers) @ 07:50 pm

[info]nextgen_holiday:

Christmas. Yule. Saturnalia. Dies Natalis Solis Invicti. Many cultures have celebrated and still celebrate a winter festival. There have been many names for it over the millennia. No matter the name it is a time to come together and celebrate with feasts and gifts with friends and loved ones.

Each culture has a legendary figure who would deliver gifts to children during this time. In Russia and some Slavic cultures he is known as Ded Moroz, Grandfather Frost, and comes not on Christmas but on New Year’s along with his granddaughter Snegurochka, or ‘”Snow Maiden”. In the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe he is known as Father Christmas. In the Netherlands and Belgium he is known as Saint Nicholas or “Sinterklaas” and in France he is known as Père Noël. In the United States we know him as Santa Claus.

No matter the name or who is delivering gifts, it is the season of peace, joy and togetherness. It is the season for thinking about loved ones, friends and those less fortunate. It is a time to witness the goodness and generosity the human race is capable of. It is a time for peace on Earth and goodwill toward man.

All Hallow's Eve @ 01:20 pm

[info]nextgen_holiday:

All Hallow's Eve, or Halloween as it has been come to be called, is a popular holiday with children and adults alike. It is a holiday that had its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain or Summer's End. Samhain celebrated the end of the "lighter half" of the year and the beginning of the "darker half".

On this evening the barriers between this world and the Otherworld were believed to be thin and the spirits, good and bad, of the dead could pass through. The spirits of the family's ancestors were welcomed in while evil and bad spirits were warded off by the wearing of masks and costumes. The costumes and masks disguised one as a harmful spirit and avoided harm from others.

It was also a harvest celebration and time to take stock of food stores for the winter. Livestock were slaughtered and the meat prepared for storage. It was the final harvest of the year and the crops were then stored for the winter. Celebrations included bonfires and tales of the family's ancestors.

It was a celebration of the dead and of the harvest.

Today we dress up in scary and not so scary costumes and masks and go door to door for candy or attend costume parties. It is a night for revelry, pranks and fun.

Attack of the Vampire Cows! @ 09:30 pm

[info]nextgen_vampire:

Earlier in the day the owner of the farm, Henry Collins, was working on his farm. He was clearing some land to build a new barn for his cows. His old one wasn't big enough any longer and he had decided to build a new one instead of expanding the old one. Bulldozers and other heavy equipment had been brought in to even out the land he had selected as the site. During the day one of the pieces of heavy equipment unknowingly unearthed something that had been lying in the ground. The wooden stake that had been driven into the cow was knocked out.

When darkness settled over the Collins Farm that evening, the cow that had been unearthed rose from the ground seemingly alive. Bessie, as the cow was known, was free once more and free to hunt down the being that was responsible for her condition. First she needed to feed and make an army to help her in her quest to defeat the Lord of the Vampires.

She ambled toward the old barn and the herd of cows inside.

Three days later the cows that Bessie had killed rose from the dead. Bessie now had the first recruits in her vampire cow army. They went off into the night to recruit more members to their cause.

Practice (Open) @ 02:13 pm

[info]notinplainsight:

Kalypso would admit that she wasn't the best hand to hand combatant. She relied more on her Eternal abilities to get her through a situation. As it were she was learning that she needed to not rely on her illusions and abilities so much. She had been spending more time in the training room and when schedule and time permitted taking lessons from any of the adult Avengers who would teach her.

Today she was in the training room practicing against some artificial opponents. She was holding her own against them for the time being. She landed a punch on one of the robots and it crumpled into a heap.

After that whole incident with the Nazis in Central Park Chris decided that it might be wise to stop by the Avengers mansion a few days later as long as things weren't to busy. That whole incident was weird, well at least by most peoples standards still it seemed like a good idea to check in.

Chris teleported to the front gates of the Avengers mansion and rang the buzzer. It seemed rude to just teleport in since he really hadn't been around there in a long while.

tdrok: The Sleepers Have Awaken @ 12:48 pm

[info]third_reich:

It was a normal summer day in New York City. The thermometer was at 80, the sun was out and there was relatively no humidity. It was a perfect summer day.

A bright light appeared in the middle of Central Park and started to grow. It expanded rapidly and grew to the size of a two story house. The tear in space in time was still for a moment and then things began to emerge from it. A giant robot walked through with guns ready. A moment later a second robot emerged, this one looked like a giant flying manta ray. It was followed by another that looked like a giant flying head.

The three robots were followed by a division of soldiers, each armed with automatic rifles and wearing uniforms with swastikas. They marched out of the portal and split in half. One group went east and the rest went west. Following the soldiers came a few other individuals. The Red Skull, Masterman, Warrior Woman, Iron Cross, and U-Man came out of the portal.

"Attack!" the Red Skull shouted. "Destroy the city!"
 

Happy Birthday Jack @ 10:34 am

[info]notinplainsight:

Kalypso had been preparing for Jack's birthday so that when it got here she was ready. She had been up with the sun and went out to get the last few remaining items she would need for their lunch. The picnic basket was packed with food and a bottle of wine and ready to go. His gift, a small device of Eternal technology, that would capture images and then display them in a 3D holograph was wrapped and put with the basket.

Now all that she needed was the birthday boy.

Kal had been around the Avengers long enough to learn certain things about them, including their birthdays. Today's was Mac's. Kal didn't know what to get him, she was horrible about shopping and gifts, so she went with the tried and true gift, a gift card. This one was for a 100 to Amazon. There was also a promise to show him Titan and the Eternals' community there.

After three days, Jack realized he hadn't seen Kalypso or at least heard from her. He called the Avengers Mansion to see if everything was okay and if they were on an extended mission. Three nights of restless nightmares told him that something was off and it had to be her absence. There was something missing that he couldn't put his finger on, but he believed that it would resolve itself once he saw her.

Jarvis told him that Miss Kalypso was indeed staying at the mansion but nothing more than that. Jack decided to show up that evening.

The Devil in the Hand - The Beginning @ 09:08 am

[info]jackmurdock:

The night Jack Murdock died was starless, hot and muggy.

Halfway through his nightly patrol, he found himself chased through a school yard and cornered by a silent group of black clad figures. He was stabbed several times in the fight that followed, but not before he took several of his attackers down. There were too many of them, too well trained in a familiar combat style. Too late he realized who and what they were and why they had hunted him down. He had just enough left in him to send a burst of warning over the mental connection he shared with Kalypso before the pain and darkness fogged his mind and stole his last breath.

The last thing he heard before he died was a whispered promise in a language he didn't understand. "You will serve a higher purpose."

When he returned home a week later, it was without any memory of where he'd been or what had happened to him.

[info]eyesofjudgement:

He arrives at the front gate with the clothes on his back, a couple of suitcases (he thinks that's what they're called) and, most important, his sunglasses upon his face. He hopes these other Avengers will not keep him waiting.

Ahura stands tall, straight and proud, awaiting someone to acknowledge his arrival. His parents seem to believe that these Avengers are worthy allies and that he can learn from them.

He waits to be impressed.

"Now, which one of these people is the one I'm supposed to speak to about staying here? Chauncey, you called him?" Ahura asks.

Recharging (open) @ 11:54 pm

[info]notinplainsight:

Kalypso's favorite place to soak up some rays and cosmic energies was the outer edge of the atmosphere. She had spent the last few hours just floating and recharging her batteries. It was so quiet and so peaceful that one couldn't help to appreciate it and appreciate the view. The Earth looked breathtakingly beautiful from space.

Now that her energy stores were replenished, she needed something else. She formed a telekinetic bubble around herself to keep her clothes from burning up on re-entry and headed back toward New York.

Not too much later she was sitting outside her favorite coffee shop and enjoying a cup of cafe mocha.

To tell the truth, it hurt my pride: the 'groom' was prettier than the bride. @ 10:50 pm

[info]butterflybullet:

She'd never really pictured this happening. Of course, she'd married off her dolls as a girl, but the idea of her wedding had always brought with it the idea of really settling down with one guy, which had never been much on her agenda. This, of course, was different. This was Svalin. And she loved Svalin, and honestly wanted to be there for her and be a family with her. And while there would be sacrifices involved, it wasn't the same as Really Settling Down. A platonic marriage that still came with a fancy party. Nothing wrong with that!

Her parents had been brought up to Asgard, along with the Avengers and the Defenders.

The first royal wedding in a generation was the Event of the Season, with quite a bit of bustle about it.

...And the dress was going to be perfect.

But first, Spa day with Mom and the Mothers-in-law --two of them. Oh gosh.

She hoped Svalin was okay.

Being Lazy (open to any) @ 10:20 am

[info]notinplainsight:

Kalypso was feeling particularly lazy and decided to camp out on the couch in the req room and watch some movies. Things had been rather quiet around the Avengers mansion and Kal was going to take full advantage of it.

She gathered snacks and stretched out on the couch. The first movie of the day was Megamind.

Happy birthday! @ 09:09 pm

[info]i_feel_you:

After asking her if she would spend his birthday with him, Luna had started to make plans for what to do for Eli for his birthday.

After some thought, she came up with what she thought was a pretty good present. Luna had made some calls and invited over the Avengers that Eli had traveled with when they fought Kang. She also invited over Kalypso, as Eli had mentioned that they were cousins.

Luna had made chicken parmesan for dinner. She'd also gone out to the store bought salad, garlic bread, and red wine. When she had called Vernique, she had told that for dessert, they would go to Florence for hot chocolate.

She had also gotten Eli a couple of books she thought that he would enjoy.

After she finished making dinner, Luna changed into a light dress. She checked on the chicken quickly before going to set the table while she waited for people.

Valentine Vignettes @ 07:09 pm

[info]nextgen_holiday:


I arise from dreams of thee
In the first sweet sleep of night,
When the winds are breathing low,
And the stars are shining bright.
I arise from dreams of thee,
And a spirit in my feet
Hath led me -- who knows how?
To thy chamber window, Sweet!

The wandering airs they faint
On the dark, the silent stream--
And the Champak's odours
Like sweet thoughts in a dream;
The nightingale's complaint,
It dies upon her heart,
As I must on thine,
O belovèd as thou art!

O lift me from the grass!
I die! I faint! I fail!
Let thy love in kisses rain
On my lips and eyelids pale.
My cheek is cold and white, alas!
My heart beats loud and fast:
O press it to thine own again,
Where it will break at last!

Going Once! Going Twice! Sold! @ 06:19 pm

[info]nextgen_parent:

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first annual Maria Stark Foundation Charity Auction. I'm Alison Blaire and your host for tonight's festivities. Prepare yourselves for a night of fun to help a worthy cause. In just a few minutes many very handsome men will be brought out one by one for your chance to win a date with one of them.

Before we begin I would like to bring out Her Imperial Highness Anya Stark. Miss Stark helped arranged tonight's event and will give you a little more information on the charity organization tonight's proceeds will help."

Anya walked out on stage and smiled. "Thank you, Ms. Blaire. All of the proceeds from tonight's event will go directly to Doctors Without Borders or Médecins Sans Frontières. This organization was created in 1971 in France to benefit the citizens of the world. The organization is committed to bringing quality medical care to people caught in crisis regardless of race, religion, or political affiliation all across the globe. MSF operates independently of any political, military, or religious agendas.

I'm happy to announce on behalf of the Maria Stark Foundation, that all money collected here tonight will be matched dollar for dollar by the Maria Stark Foundation."

"Thank you Miss Stark and that is a very generous offer by the Maria Stark Foundation. Now it's time to begin. So open those wallets and let's bring out our first man." Anya left the stage and went to take her seat.

"First we have the son of Captain America Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff. James Romanov-Rogers is currently an Avenger and has recently moved to Seattle to lead the West Coast Avengers."

"Let's start the bidding at a hundred dollars."

Homecoming (open to Avengers) @ 10:09 pm

[info]borntolead:

Charlie was glad to be home. In the end of it, he enjoyed his time hoping around through the timestream, and had gotten to become really good friends with his teammates.

But goddamn, it felt good to be back.

After stopping off at his parent's apartment for a quick change of clothes and a shower (his Mom wasn't home yet, but his Dad said that he'd tell her that they had come back later), Charlie made his way over to Avengers Mansion.

"Anybody home?"
