Outcasts Forever: Issue #1 - Red America

[Mark Chance]

Listening the dueling tantrums between Binary and Sandman, the Falcon and Redwing exchanged glances. The bird actually rolled its eyes and shrugged.

Grinning, the Falcon said, "So, then, Cap, what's our first move? Seems to me the best way to tell if Sandra here is on the up and up is to put her claims to the test. Praxis versus theoria, if I recall my Socrates correctly."

"Even if that would make the slightest sense, Vision wouldn't be affected so the whole ploy would be for nothing."

That would be incorrect, I am susceptible to mental attack like anyone else. Although the chance of each of us being mentally controlled at this particular time is remote, 97.34 percent to be exact. Vision says to Carol

Although your worries are a concern, he says looking towards Flint, everything that she has said would explain why none of our memories coincide, nor has she tried to overtly bring us to her cause, even stating that we can leave when we desire. Consider the fact that you can turn into sand and and I am a synthetic human that can phase through wall, with that in mind is the possibility of divergent timelines so unbelievable?

"I stand corrected."
Carol smiles softly at the Visions explanation.
It's good to have someone who remains calm all the time. I lost my temper again. Seems to happen a lot since the transformation. I know Ms Marvel wasn't like that. And even if I'm not exactly her I know I wasn't either before my transformation.

Hank grinned. "A man after my own heart. As fond as I am of the gentlemanly art of debate, it's getting us nowhere. If we accept that Sandra is on the level, then we have work to do. If she's lying, then any information we gain by further questioning will be equally suspect."

Angered, Flint opened his mouth to retort, but was interrupted by Vision. Begrudgingly at first, he listened to what Vision had to say. He understood what the... synthetic human... was getting at. If nothing else, he did have to agree that everyone seemed genuinely out of their element, even the ones who knew eachother. And the one man who might know him, Cap, acted like they had never even met. Ultimately, Flint didn't understand what exactly was happening, and that was his main problem. When Flint didn't understand something, it made him feel stupid. Which, in turn, caused him to be defensive. If there was one thing he hated, it was feeling stupid.

As a gesture of goodwill, Flint raised his hands for a moment before apologizing for his outburst. His apology was directed to everyone, but his gaze was centered on Binary when he said, "Sorry. Look, I ain't aimin' to start a scrap or nothin', I just don't... I don't understand what's going on 'round here, or how this could even happen in the first place." He sat back down in his seat, and folded his arms. "This is all sorta new to me. I ain't used to time travel or alternate realities."

Mr. Immortal can't stand it anymore...

"I just don't... I don't understand what's going on 'round here, or how this could even happen in the first place." He sat back down in his seat, and folded his arms. "This is all sorta new to me. I ain't used to time travel or alternate realities."

Craig couldn't believe what he was hearing... It made sense to question, but it was final - Cap had already made the decision, what was left to discuss after that?!!
Somebody needed to stand up to the big BULLY, Mrs. Danvers did a good job but Craig knew bullies only listen to bully mentality. And for the good of the team Craig would be happy to fill that roll... for Cap and the team!!
Slamming back in his logoed chair, Mr. Immortal stood to confront the "reformed" criminal... His chair landed somewhere behind on the floor.

"That's ENOUGH outa you mister!!
Cap's already made the call and where he leads you WILL follow got that beachboy?!!"

Mr. Immortal had NO FEAR as he stood with hands on hips in his best heroic pose...

"Ah might just be a new recruit for the big leagues fella, but I LEAD a team-a HEROES while you were still out there robbin an stealin and beatin up on poor Spidey for nearly 4 years!!
You... ...yer nothin but a two-bit thug... now sit there and shut-yer trap while Vision and Beast figure this mess out and Cap gives us the order!!"

Craig wasn't trying to become as disruptive as the Sandman had been to the meeting - but he was tired of all his doubting about AVENGER duty... Craig looked to Cap for any subtle hints, but was ready to put the big brute in his place.....

then on a roll - before stepping back...
"You got something to prove SANDBOX?!!
You got some violent tendacies you just gotta git rid of Mr. BIG BAD?!!
Well you ain't gonna be a problem to our team anymore!!!
GOT THAT!!
I been killed by WAY more badder guys than you!"

Craig looked his steeliest gaze at the Sandman, and then in a less loud but equally agressive voice...
"an watch yer swearin around the ladies, mister!
this ain't a pool hall..."


[PS: OOC - hey guys, FYI ... I'm NOT trying to "start" anything, I'm just trying to play up Mr. I's innocent irreverence. He really looks up to heroes like Cap, Vision, Beast, etc... and has it in mind to prove himself on THERE side, hence trying to "help" them. But yes I know it's possibly only creating issues and drama... but that's comics for you... and what team isn't great with a little rivalry. Heck maybe Flint and Craig will be the bestest of friends in the future!! Hope that's cool]

His eyes widened at Mr. Immortal's display, and he did his best not to laugh. After a moment of silence, however, Flint could not hold it back any longer. He laughed for a few moments, and then between chuckles he said, "Whatever. Siddown, small fry, I already said I ain't lookin' for a scrap."

Vision

Vision watchs Mr. Immortals' "outburst" and can't help but chuckle slightly to himself as he leans over to whomever he is seated by.

He certainly is... enthusiastic he says in a quiet tone.

Hank grinned. "A man after my own heart. As fond as I am of the gentlemanly art of debate, it's getting us nowhere. If we accept that Sandra is on the level, then we have work to do. If she's lying, then any information we gain by further questioning will be equally suspect."

I agree as well, endless debate will get us no closer to the truth. I say Captain America retreives the "Talus" and then we will learn more about what our first mission will be.

Mr. I scraps for dignity...

Looking around at the others, Craig was happy his directness hadn't been confronted - looks like Flint was backing down in his own way.
It WORKED!!
Craig thought to himself, filling him with a warm glowy smile......
No one looks any worse for it... that's what he hoped for all along.
Craig could accept that, let him chuckle.

Before dropping his hands to his side and picking up his chair...
"ahh geeze Mr. Marko, Ah'm sorry Ah had to be like that... Ah'm glad you're a bigger man than the alter-Sandman from my dimension.
If yer willin to fergive and ferget Ah'm willin to let this little incident slide off our backs."

Mr. Immortal (in full Red, White and Blue colorful spandex), probably gaudy to Flint Marko, stretched out his hand wide and open offering back the olive branch that Sandman had started...

Are we good?... ... TEAMMATE?...

Picking up his chair and sitting down Craig did his best to assume an intellectual pose... Putting his elbows up on the table and all his fingers together in steeple form in front of his nose......

"Now... ...how about that TALUS thing-a-ma-jig??"

 

[Keia]

"Now... ...how about that TALUS thing-a-ma-jig??"

"There is no need for the talus at this juncture," Sandra stated. "It will help you while on your mission, if you ever question your task. However, I can discuss your first mission with you . . . assuming all are in agreement."

OOC: Sound off your agreement and we'll get started!!
