Binary

Carol sits down, not noticing most of the conversation. All her attention had been on the two potential troublemakers.

"Of course it will be Cap."

She gives him a smile since she did not have a chance to greet him properly because if that little interuption.

"These are the Avengers and it's not even a question who's the leader."

Reasonably sure that neither the Sandman or Mr I are going to start something, her gaze wonders to the Beast during the dicussion.
Who has he lost? I have to talk to him later, somehow I have a bad feeling.

ooc: For Binary Jean Grey turned into the Phoenix on their last meeting. She has no knowledge of her second death on the moon or the whole Dark Phoenix Saga yet.
 

Captain America

Captain America took his seat at the table. He sat his shield at his side, leaning against his chair. He sat back in his chair, silent. His arms crossed he looked around the table at his teammates.

The Beast was a very honorable man and a great team player. Hank was a great addition to the team.

Binary. Carol Danvers. Binary was extremely powerful but she was a bit more distant since her trip into space.

Vision was a fantastic member to have around. He seemed to lack self confidence (if that was possible for a machine) but constantly proved himself invaluable.

Falcon was a no-brainer. Sam didn't consider himself a player on the Avengers scale no matter how much he contributed every time he was with the team.

Moon Knight was a bit of a variable. He was very capable, highly experienced and a man of honor. The problem was he was so grim he did not always mesh well with the others. And his sense of honor seemed to be centered around views he had never shared.

Sandman was a unique powerhouse. No doubt he had ran on the wrong side of the law but good men had vouched for him and he would not be in this building if he wasn't worthy. The problem would be if any of the others doubted him.

Mr. Immortal was another interesting choice. His heart was definitely in the right place he was just a little over anxious and quick to jump. If he could be taught to follow and work with the team this could be quite an experience for him.


Captain America sat forward in his chair. It seemed of the members gathered here he was the most likely choice. Especially, since they all seemed so eager to vote for him. He had led the team before, it was not a problem. Men like Iron Man, Thor and the Hulk had come to look to him for leadership and direction. He just hoped that if timelines were as screwed up as they might be that no one was voting for Captain America thinking he was Steve.

"All right. I'll accept the mantle of Chairperson. Assuming there are no objections." He punched in his Clearance I.D. number into the computer.
 

After typing in his authorization code, Captain America’s personal view screen indicated the code had been accepted . . .

Authorization Accepted. Congratulations, Captain American on your Chairmanship. Auto-Loading Introduction . . . please wait . . .

Moments ticked by . . . then an image began to take shape above the table in the middle of the room. A young woman in a blue and yellow jumpsuit began coalesce: long, dark auburn hair to past her shoulders, blue eyes, quite striking in appearance, a badge with the initials AGF on her chest in silver and red, two gold pips on the collar of her jumpsuit. She slowly rotated in place, seeming to look at everyone seated at the table. When the image began to speak, the voice was much softer than anyone had expected.

“Welcome, Avengers. As some of you may have realized, things are not as they would appear. Each of you have been selected to assist in a matter of great peril, for all of us. The Avenger Mansion, and all those currently within the mansion have been unhinged from time. This was not accomplished without a great deal of thought and discussion, but in the end it was decided that it was necessary to salvage what little we have left.”

The woman paused for several moments as she appeared to collect herself to continue.

“Time . . . is not as linear as many of you may think. Much can disrupt the flow, creating divergences from the proper flow. This divergences in and of themselves are harmless in moderation. However, a proliferation of divergences can ripple back into all continuities disrupting the basic fabric of reality itself. Lives have been lost . . . will be lost . . . in all continuities unless something is done . . . unless someone rises to the challenge. That challenge goes out to you . . . You are asked to follow your namesake, and avenge those that have and will be lost . . . by correcting continuity at specific points in time, allowing time to correct itself . . . .”

Again the young woman paused, seeming to look into the eyes of each of the avengers as she rotated in place. Very quietly, she said . . .

“You have questions . . . .”

Captain America

Captain America stood, both hands placed on the table in front of him.

"Who exactly are you and why do you think you can use the Avengers as your personal army?"

Captain America appeared frozen. His body tense. His eyes however, were taking in everything about the woman and seemed ready to leap into action.

He will act only to defend himself or stop another from attacking before they get answers.
 

Hank had a list of questions to ask, but when Captain America spoke, he decided it was best to wait his turn. The Captain had already asked the most important question anyway.
 

Mr. Immortal pipes up...

Cap made the perfect point...
But in looking around the team - Mr. I. had to wonder......
"...and why us? .....
Vision makes sense on a technical level, Cap makes sense as the guiding light to lead... But the rest of us?... Why aren't Dr. Pym or IronMan or even the Fantastic Four and Dr. Richards here?? Or maybe even Doctor Strange!
Aren't they better equipped for this time/dimension stuff?...
I barely passed high school physics...."


Craig wasn't used to keeping quiet, he was sure to be reprimanded by Captain America later for his speaking out of turn - but with the good you take the bad... being a Great Lakes Avenger hadn't preparred him for this kind of news........
"'unhinged?!!' what does that even mean??

Vision

Vision watches the women talk and listens to the responses that followed. An interesting theory, if we are to believe you, he says addressing the women, then it would be logical that none of us are from the same line, how did you grab us from each of our individual time lines?

Its more then likely, he says addressing Mr. Immortal, that they couldn't just grab whomever they wanted, that certain people from certain time line are integral to the continuation of that specific line. Or that whomever they are fighting against are watching the more important heros and villians, thus they selected us because we were not important enough or that we are expendable.

I for one wish to hear more, who is creating these disturbances in the timeline and for what purpose?

This was almost too much for him to comprehend. Flint was no scientist, and he was not going to pretend he understood everything that was happening. In the Ultimates, he was for the most part, a point of strength. While he was not the dimmest bulb, he certainly didn't bring much to the table in terms of intelligence. He was there to do the heavy work. So, in response to the discussion, Flint simply folded his arms, sat back in his seat and listened, desperately trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

“My name is Sandra, and I am a holographic representation,” the young woman’s image replied. She considered the second part of the question a moment or two before continuing. “The Avengers are one of Earth's foremost organizations of costumed superhuman adventurers dedicated to safeguarding the world from any threat beyond the power of conventional peacekeeping forces to handle. This would fall under your charter.”

The young woman smiled warmly at the exuberance that Craig displayed. With a smile she replied, “I'm sorry. My responses are limited. You have to ask the right question.”

“You may or may not be from the same timeline. All of you, however, are from a timeline that has been splintered at some point. This splintering, was one of the reasons you were chosen. You were not taken . . . the mansion was shifted through the timelines and you entered it,” the young woman corrected.

Vision said:

“Knowing future events could be damage the timelines even further,” Sandra stated. “But many of you have encountered individuals with the ability to travel through time . . . Dr. Doom, Kang, and Reed Richards are just a few examples of such individuals. These individuals have contributed to the problem, creating alternate timelines.”
