Jack took in Sandra's words as he sat there petting Redwing. "Who exactly are you Sandra? You said you were an Avenger, right? Are you from the future or just an alternate time line like the rest of us?" He continued to stare at her image while they talked.

"You have a very straightforward approach to things, yet you seem to have a lot of knowledge about us. And you seem to actually care about us. Who else is on the team where you come from?"

Beast, Carol Danvers, Vision, Vision IV (Jarvis, Sandman 40ft away)


Vision IV looked at Carol, questioningly . . . or as questioningly as a metallic robot could. "Pardon me of inquiring, Marvel Girl," Vision IV started. "This . . . preoccupation . . . with a child from an alternate timeline - is it because you have none in your own timeline? Perhaps yet another anomoly that will be rectified."

"Pardon ME for inquiring but what exactly is the melting point of your outer hull?"
Carol spins around and walks briskly out of the room. She isn't even real angry at Vision VI but she felt like lashing out and he was available.
"I just feel I owe something to the old Carol Danvers, I live her life after all and I'm not even sure she would be happy about that."

"Yes, sir," Jarvis replied, his moment of shock gone, returned was the proficient butler. "I shall have in cleaned up momentarily, sir. Was there something I could get for you as well, Master Marko?"

"Jarvis, seriously, I told you, 'Flint' is cool. I don't need anything. Just takin' a stoll around the mansion, here, s'all." Eying the mess of the liquor cabinet, Flint offered his assistance. "You need any help cleanin' that up? I can blast the broken glass to sand, and I don't mind tellin' ya, that ain't no trouble for me ta clean up."

"Pardon ME for inquiring but what exactly is the melting point of your outer hull?"

“Well, Marvel Girl, the exact temperature is something I am unaware of currently . . . but the value is above ten million degrees Celsius,” Vision IV replied. “Sufficient to swim in the Sun . . . but not dance on its core.”

After watching Carol Danvers storm off, Vision IV looked to the Vision and inquired, “Perhaps it would be best to station myself out of the direct view of others . . . the Soviets had a habit of doing that as well. It may well be for the best . . . unless you had further inquiries, Mr. McCoy?”

Jack easily side-steps and catches the flailing Tony Stark. Flailing about helplessly, Tony drops the other half of the bottle to shatter against the floor.

"Of course I am...ugh...Tony Stark. Your in my damn house you bruised bum. Who the hell are you? Tony continues to struggle against the firm hold of sobriety. "Sandi, send down fake Cap or Hank or someone. Damn it.

Tony's efforts to break free continue although his breathing is becoming very labored and the recently scabbed cold burns he suffered have torn and blood starts to soak into his shirt, again.

OOC: If I have over stepped my PC bounds, Keia. Let me know, I will edit. As a side note, I don't know if there is a communications consol to Sandi or not. Tony in his drunken state thinks there should be.

You have a very straightforward approach to things, yet you seem to have a lot of knowledge about us. And you seem to actually care about us. Who else is on the team where you come from?"

"I wish I could answer your questions, Cap, I really do," Sandra replied. "But, if I tell you things about the future or about where I'm from . . . everything will have been wasted. You can ask Hank about temporal possibilities and alternate timestream divergences."

"For example, if I told you that today you were going to get hit in the head by an empty bottle, but by getting hit you'll learn something important, and you shouldn't do anything about it, . . . the very fact that I told you will make you more alert, you're innate reactions would kick in . . . and more than likely, the bottle would miss. The future has been changed, aq new one has been created in simply my telling."

Sandra paused for a moment, seeming to look into space. Looking back at Cap, Sandra stated, "Wasp has left the team . . . you have a new avenger . . . the Jack of Hearts . . . and there's a disturbance in the Electronics Fabrication Area on this level."

"Of course, Master Flint," Jarvis replied. "It is certainly no trouble . . . however, if you insist, I would not object - broken glass can be difficult."

Flint noticed that Binary left the Vision and Beast in a huff and stormed off upstairs.

“ It may well be for the best . . . unless you had further inquiries, Mr. McCoy?”

Hank hesitated, then said, "I do. When we met you said that the Henry McCoy from your timeline was dead. Flint said something similar when I met him . . . I'm starting to wonder if I'm one of those "anomolies that will be rectified", and if I was supposed to die with the rest of the X-Men. What happened to your Beast?"

"The Hank McCoy of my timeline could not stop experimenting on himself . . . trying to reverse what he had done to himself in the past," Vision IV explained. "First more beastial, then more cat-like, which ultimately lead to his desire to modify others to suit his whim. The Soviet destroyed him and his cell of Morlocks, though Nathaniel Essex escaped."

"That's . . . not what I was worried about. I don't know whether I should be relieved or horrified. Or both." Hank stared at his furry hands for a moment. "Probably both. There but for the grace of God . . ."
