The shock that is etched onto Tony's face is completely invisible behind the yellow metal mask. There is no way those shots hit that hard this fast. Who ever thought up time streams should be beaten with a gimungus pocket watch "Hey...um...Janet, you did kind of miss a meeting and we really don't have time to go through it again right now. Basically , we are in a different dimension where there are a bunch of super-villans attacking part of our team out at a place called the Baxter building. Computer, entrance monitor show the commies." A picture of the soviets shows up on the wall. "Those are the bad guys and they have the good guys way out numbered. They need our help now, so Wonderman and I are going, I'd appreciate it if you came too." Tony will wait only a minute more, time enough for Janet to get into her costume and then head out the door. As the two men are about to step through the door Iron Man looks at Simon "This is probably very serious, kid. Be careful." With a pat on the shoulder Iron Man opens the door and heads out into commie-ville.

Simon smiles and give Ironman the double thumbs up "Lead the way shell head"

Interlude III

Avengers Mansion
Early Afternoon

Iron Man, accessed the computer to bring up images he had been show below, but the computer did not respond. Odd . . . Tony had designed these systems to interface . . . there must be protocols in place which prevent that now.

Jarvis, having just chased off the driver and closed the door, walked over to the trio of heroes. “Pardon me for being so bold as to intrude, Master Stark, but neither Dr. Van Dyne nor Master Williams have been briefed yet on their . . . situation,” Jarvis explained. “There will most likely be an increased level of disorientation on their arrival.”

OOC: Careful on everyone performing actions for others or with items outside their control.

Looking over at Jarvis, Stark's face behind the mask is a grimace as his name is said again. "Your right Jarvis, but I am worried about the others. Sandra said they were in trouble and waiting could mean unpleasent things for them. I guess both of you should head down to the meeting room and get the story from the source."

OOC: Apologies for my presumptiveness. I got the sheet, thank you.

Wasp

She regards the earnest young Simon with a measure of skepticism that unfortunately comes off as coldness. "Wonder Man, great, look: don't take this the wrong way, but I'm sure it'll be nice to meet you later. Tony, such as you are...there are maybe four people in the world that I could take on faith after hearing what you just said: my butthead ex-husband, that Reed Richards kid, Bruce Banner before he started changing, and you. The very fact that you're not the Iron Man I know ought to take you off the list." She swallows. "But you are Iron Man, that's obvious, so even though it goes against my better judgement, and because I probably won't get any answers here, I'm coming with you. You can give me more details on the way, and one of you is going to have to give me a lift."

Wonderman smiles to Wasp and says "No time like the present! I can fly pretty fast, but don't you like turn into... I don't know... a wasp or something that can fly? But anyway intros and group hug can wait can't it. I mean Captain America needs us now right? What's to talk about - Commies bad, Captain good."

"I appreciate your trust. It would be my distinct pleasure to carry you. Iron Man makes a florished bow to Wasp. "Are you ready now? or do we need to wait? As soon as Janet is ready Stark heads for the door after stepping outside he will pick up Wasp and begin to fly at full speed to the Baxter building. "The situation is basically this. We are all from different time streams that are all different in some way. A different event in each of our timelines has caused the splintering of our worlds from the main one. That is why I am not you Iron Man but I am Iron Man. I can try to explain it better later but basically we are in a different reality right now. The reality we are in has the communists winning the cold war and they have taken over America. They have a team similar to the Avengers of most timelines, a government sponsered super group. Right now, that group is attacking the rest of our time-hopping Avengers. Binary as I understand it is Carol Danvers or Warbird and Falcon is a winged man that is Cap's protege, or at least he is in my timeline. You, wonderkid, and me are the cavalry. Do you need anymore details right now?

 

[Mimic]

Vision's face pales for a moment and he almost takes a step backwards before he catches himself, if there was one creature on this planet you didn't want to show fear to, it was Ultron

Hank instinctively backed up, and quietly said, "Ultron. Absurdly overpowered android. We don't have to beat him; just keep him busy long enough to access the computer, and we're out of here."

"Affirmative, if this Ultron is like the one I know the chances of the three of us beating him is virtually nill. We must draw him out though, a prolonged battle would damage the equipment in the room." He replies quickly and quietly.

"The reality we are in has the communists winning the cold war and they have taken over America.

"Heh. I bet Steve practically blew a gasket when he heard about that one." She smiles at the thought. "Simon, you look like a big strong boy--let me guess, enhanced strength and unhurtability, right? What, Tony? Why are you looking at me that way?"

OOC: That last bit assumes Iron Man tells her about Steve being the master of the Commies. She's ready to fly when you are, Gideon, but she'll have to hide in a pocket or something because she's just not built for Stark's kind of speed.

Early afternoon
Battle Before the Baxter Building – Intermission

“It would be an honor to help out –”

“Re-e—ed” Sue called out to him.

“-but I’ve got to think of my responsibilities as well,” Reed finished. “Sue . . . and I, need to bury our dead . . . flee the country . . . .”

“I can’t seem to bring Marc to you, Cap,” Falcon replied. “He sort of . . . faded away. I’m on my way.”

Within seconds, Falcon landed heavily, obviously protecting his right side. Redwing squawked in irritation. The Thing was, not so gently, slapping blue half-dollar shaped devices on each of the Red guardians, Dynamo, and Titanium Man. Cap could see Carol sitting on the ground about 100 feet away talking with a blonde woman – most likely Darkstar.

"I understand, Reed. You three get out of here then. We have to stay and distract whoever shows up, so we may as well cover your retreat. My thanks for the help you were able to provide." Jack stuck out his hand to shake Reed's. "And good luck to all of you."

Captain America shook his head slightly at the news that they had lost Moon Knight. As he did so, he noticed Carol and Darkstar sitting on the pavement. "Let's get over to Carol, we got taken down so easily in the first place because they caught us off guard and separated. Plus, we aren't sure what happened to Marc."

He took a step towards Binary's direction when he noticed the Falcon's injuries. "Cripes, Sam! Are you all right? I had no idea you had been hit so badly!"
