Jack of Hearts

Another day another success . . . today it wasn’t even 4:00am in the morning yet, but Jack couldn’t sleep. Formulae danced in his head . . . something the latest villain had said triggered some ideas . . . and Jack rushed to the Mansion to get the thoughts down on electronic paper. He had let himself in through the secret subbasement level two access point . . . and had even managed to dodge Jarvis – a miracle in itself. Maybe he wasn’t here 24/7. But, Jack had just gone straight to the Chem lab and got to work.

He had been at it for a hour or more when he started hearing noise in the Electronics Lab . . . noise and . . . singing?

OOC: Welcome Jack of Hearts.

OOC: Welcome Jack of Hearts.

Who could be singing in the Electronics lab this late. Herc wouldn't be caught dead in the lab, and I can't see T'Challa singing. Jack thought to himself as he stopped what he was doing and started to approach the lab.

Unbidden Jack's Scanalyzer imprinting went to work, analyzing the pitch and timber of the voice. He thought he recognized the voice, but something was...off. He just couldn't figure what.

OOC: Take Ten on a Listen +10/Photographic Memory

"Hello!?" he announced cautiously.

"You got it, now talk!"

“What a complete surprise to see you standing there, Ms. Danvers,” Vision IV commented. “Very well, I will disclose your personal information regarding the birth of your child to those who ask for it . . . .”

“Carol Danvers and Mar-vell, also known as Dr. Walter Lawson, had a child together approximately five years ago. The child, a daughter, was only kept hidden from the government for under a year before it was taken into custody. Neither parent . . . accepted the decision very well. Ultimately, Mar-Vell died shortly after a confrontation with Radioactive Man and, subsequently, after several incidents, Ms. Marvell went into hiding. Her unique physiology proved difficult to properly target by the governmental psi-tanks. The daughter, named Cassandra Vell, codenamed Eidolon, was publicly transferred to the Stark Manor less than a month ago in the hope of drawing Ms. Marvell out of hiding.”

Tony lifts his head up at the call knocking one of the finished bottles off the table. "Nobooody's home but us chickens and maybe some dogs too. Tony's really sloppy voice calls back to the door.

"I should get a dog, dog's are cool. Like a really big wolf dog. YAY! Then he could be all like grrrr. Tony bares his teeth and holds up his hands with his fingers bent into claw shape. "Killer would be awsome. Obidiah, stupid frickin name. what is he from the 15th century. Killer would get 'em though.

OOC: I am assuming Tony is the singing in the electronics lab.

Early afternoon

Sitting alone in the assembly room, Jack pondered the issues before him. Sandra's hologram was slowly rotationg above the table . . . she was silent and had been for several minutes. Redwing squawked for attention and flitted from his perch to the main table, landing in front of Jack and looking him in the eye . . . staring.

The room had become mostly dark, automatic lights shutting down as activity in the room died. Jack sat there running through thoughts, memories and scenarios that all did him little good. Redwing broke him out of his daze as he fluttered to the table in front of him. Jack stroked the top of his head with the back of a finger. "How you doing fella? You have to be missing Sam bad, I know. I wonder why you didn't return home when we lost him." Jack stared back at the bird admiring his regal build. "Don't worry Redwing, I'll take care of you. At least until we can get through all of this and back to our homes. You don't know how to fix this huge mess, do ya?"

Jack looked up at Sandra's silent form while still petting Redwing. "Sandra, any other info you can share on the time we will be showing up? Anything that will help us solve this problem smoothly would be greatly appreciated."

[“Carol Danvers and Mar-vell, also known as Dr. Walter Lawson, had a child together approximately five years ago . . . . . . The daughter, named Cassandra Vell, codenamed Eidolon, was publicly transferred to the Stark Manor less than a month ago in the hope of drawing Ms. Marvell out of hiding.”

"While I can't speak with 100% certainty, it does not sound like the child's existence is a direct result of the kink in the timeline, then."

He turned to Binary. "We can't know for sure, Carol. But if we succeed, I think we will be giving your daughter a better life." He frowned. "If we succeed. I keep thinking about Edith Keeler."

Binary

"While I can't speak with 100% certainty, it does not sound like the child's existence is a direct result of the kink in the timeline, then."

He turned to Binary. "We can't know for sure, Carol. But if we succeed, I think we will be giving your daughter a better life." He frowned. "If we succeed. I keep thinking about Edith Keeler."

"I shouldn't have allowed Thor to talk me into staying. I just don't belong here anymore."
Binary just stares at the wall, trying to sort out what she feels about all this. Memories tell her what Carol Danvers would probably feel but for her that's just plain knowledge. She herself feels pity for that women and the child but somehow it is still not her child. She's not even Carol Danvers.
Or rather I am, I just don't feel it. Rogue is in for a world of pain then we meet again.
"It's not like I can go back now. Let's face it, my mistake probably cost that girl her life. I should have taken her in with me. I'll add it to the list. My life seems to be just like that. It's not like I can go back. All that's left is to go on and hope for the best. Not that it will come to that but hope dies last don't they say that."

"It's not like I can go back. All that's left is to go on and hope for the best. Not that it will come to that but hope dies last don't they say that."

Cautiously, Hank put a hand on Carol's shoulder. "None of us can go back," he said. "As a great philosopher once said, 'always in motion, the future is.'"

 

[Mimic]

"Dr. McCoy is correct, fixing this timeline will most likely improve the children's lives in that reality, although they will not remember it." Vision pauses for a moment in thought, turning slightly he address the Beast.

"Who is Edith Keeler?"

 

[Radiant]

Binary

Cautiously, Hank put a hand on Carol's shoulder. "None of us can go back," he said. "As a great philosopher once said, 'always in motion, the future is.'"

She doesn't exactly smile, she just looks tired but at least Binary doesn't look like she desperatly wants to burn the whole mansion to the ground anymore. Maybe just a wing... .
"Thanks. I'll deal with it. I allways do."
