Vision

Vision stares at himself again in the mirror and sighs, out of his costume and in some civilian clothes its obvious that he is going to stick out... It wasn't the first time that he wondered why Ultron didn't make him more human looking.

Binary

She didn't have much luggage. Costumes of unstable molecules tend to did that to you. And even her other belongings did not take much place. Everything she might ever want to read was saved in a single Shi Ar data slate. And the rest where likewise strange items. She took up her bag and walked through the mansion to find her room.
I know this place but why is it so strange? Carols memories, not mine. And yet I am her, I should feel something. I'm home.
And yet even though this was home it felt strange. She had spent more time aboard the Starjammer than on earth after she woke from her coma.
I might have more memories of earth but my new one's have feelings linked to them. Being a space pirate feels like my life. Being Carol Danvers feels like a silent movie.
In the end she decides to take shower. Not that she needed it, her pure energy form could burn here clean in a milisecond but because she remembered it as a normal thing. Afterwards she dresses in simple civilian clothes, grey military pants and a black shirt to meet with the rest of her new team.

As Captain America began to glance about for the talus, he felt a slight weight increase on his left forearm and wrist area. Glancing down, he noticed a six inch wide bracer of a thin metallic material. On the underside of the bracer was a mirror-like screen about threee inches square. On the screen were the words.
Welcome Captain America
Mission objective: Obtain data link to Supreme Soviet Computers to determine critical variance point of timeline. Return to Stark Manor upon completion.

At Captain America's slightest thought that this added weight might throw off work with his shield, the talus became weightless.

He did not pay total attention to Craig as he dug through several lockers looking for the Talus. He did hear him talking about his costume and rambling something about a Dodgers/Sox game. Then the Talus appeared on his arm. He held his arm in front of him to examine it closer. He turned so that Mr. Immortal could see it, too. He looked up at Craig and smiled. "Looks like the real thing to me. Wouldn't you say?"

Then as if the entire conversation had been on pause, Captain America replied to Craig. "I'm keeping the red, white and blue's on. Just plan on throwing this fatigue jacket on with a stocking cap." He smiled a genuine smile, as if he was sharing some great in-joke with a close friend. "I look at it as a variation of the old 'trenchcoat and fedora" routine. As for your distraction, I'm not sure yet. I'm really kind of hoping something makes itself available if and when we need it."

As they spoke, the Captain looked down at the Talus and began to try and figure out how it worked.
 

Equipment Room and Lockers
Sub-basement level two
Avengers Mansion


The remaining Avengers make their way down to the equipment and locker room in subbasement level two to get their communicators and form up. Everyone was out of costume, or at least covering their costume up. When Moon Knight and Falcon arrived in the room, the final arrivals, everyone was present and accounted for.

End Prologue

Issue #1 – Outcasts Forever - Red America

The Avengers were getting ready in their locker room as Captain America reviewed the Talus, trying to figure out how it worked. The talus didn’t appear to have any moving parts, dials or buttons. As he looked at the screen, more words appeared.

Captain America . . . Avengers Mansion in now in time sync with current timeline task. Avengers may exit building (Stark Manor) safely.

Sandra’s voice came over the communicators to all Avengers, “Avengers, there is a disturbance in downtown New York. A building which housed a government sponsored think tank just experienced several explosions and a call has been made to the Supreme Soviet as well as other heroes for assistance. This may be the distraction you are looking for.”

"Captain, my captain... yes indeedy that looks like the real thing!
Ah suppose disturbance and distraction are close enough....... so whadya think Cap... should be roll in as a team of heroes to aid the Soviets all together or maybe me and one er two of the others going in or just observe?
Er... wait - where is that computer thingy Vision needs a look at??"


Mr. Immortal looked puzzled for a second as he turned from Captain America opening up to the rest of the team. Un-costumed he gave the team a big southern fried smile and twinkled his fingers in a half-wave, specifically slowing his glance to acknowledge Hank and the Sandman...

"uhhh, hey guys... Craig Hollis at yer service..."
putting his hand to the side of his face as if breaking a secret... he whispered
"aka. Mr. Immortal"
as he gave a wink to his new team.
 

Vision

Wearing standard clothing a long coat and hat in attempt to hide his features, Vision listens to what Mr. Immortal has to say...

All of us going would not be advisable but either falcon or Binary observing would be a tactically sound idea, they could warn us when the Supreme Soviet wre done as well as gain some knowledge of their skills and powers.
 

Mr. Immortal votes chick!

"I vote chick!"
and then Mr. I realizes he said that out loud...
perhaps it was a stream of conscious thing...

"uuhhhhhh, no offense uhhh.... it's a stream of conscious thing..."
and Craig rolls his eyes innocently...

Vision looks over towards where Mr. Immortal is standing after his "outburst", one eyebrow raised, a quick look of surprise crosses his face... "I would assume that you are indicating Binary, any particular reason why?"

Falcon puts in an appearance. He is wearing black sweat pants, a gray, hooded sweat shirt, and running shoes. All very nondescript. Redwing rides on his right forearm.

"Redwing and I can survey the area from two different positions. Our telepathic link'll let him alert me if he sees anything. The radio or whatever it is will keep me in touch with you. That said, another set of eyes isn't a bad idea."
 

Captain America

As the team arrived, Captain America got ready for the mission. He slung his shield over both shoulders and slipped on his olive drab fatigue jacket. Then he removed his mask and ran his gloved hand through his short brown hair. It seemed to fall into a styled-looking manner on it's own. He pulled on his knit stocking cap and stopped at Mr. Immortal's outburst.

"Kid, are you sure you're all right? You really seem jumpy and that is the last thing we need on this delicate of a mission." His look was that of concern as he spoke to Craig.

In response to Falcon, Captain America smiled. "Good point Sam. You and Redwing will run aerial recon, at least initially. A bird in the air isn't nearly as obvious as a costumed hero flying around."
