awakened to cheers after years on the faultline

WHO: THE AVENGERS
WHERE: The new Avengers Embassy, at Stark Tower (the one that's not the Porter building)
WHEN: Tuesday, Sept. 25th afternoon to evening
WARNINGS: Probably nothing?
SUMMARY: Max Lord introduces the newest member of the Avengers to the team: Black Panther! Everyone, get to know each other, this is for mingling of all sorts.
FORMAT: Quick.


[ It's not exactly a meeting; they can discuss pertinent issues (as always, Max has a whole agenda of topics to bring to the table) another time, because today, what Max wants to talk to the Avengers about is short and sweet. It's something to celebrate! Within their brand new Headquarters Max Lord stood in a brown suit and a checkered tie, a table laid out with food and drinks running the length of the wall to his side. ]

Now, I know we have a lot of Avengers business to discuss, especially since some of us were gone for most of the month. But that's not what we're here today for. But of course if you want to talk shop later I won't stop you.

I'd like to present you all with the newest addition to our team: please welcome Black Panther to the Avengers. I think we can all agree we had a few [ Er. ] holes to fill... and this is our guy. In fact, I think a few of you know each other already.

( I put up a few working subthreads but feel free to make your own! This is for mingling and working out fun team dynamics, do and talk about absolutely whatever you want to. c: )

Working on it. Max has been working pretty hard to make sure we clean up. [ And he doesn't say that he's been working his ass off on the Vulcanus issue. ]

[Hank turns around to face Tony with a slight shrug.] I know that, of course, as I've been working with him on a lot of it. [He crosses his arms, both eyebrows raised.] I was hoping to hear a little more on the situation beyond politics and public relations. How're things going in the trenches?

[ He sighs. ]

Not as well as I'd like. Vulcanus is dicey, and we can crunch numbers and study data as much as we can, but at the end of the day, we're still getting nowhere, and they've been just as quiet. It's certainly concerning.
professorlionface: (Well...that's something.)

Still no leads toward their organization or locations? No hint at their future plans?

I know you were gathering information provided by those under psychic deluge that day last month, that hasn't given way to anything?
liverletdie: (Look this isn't working)

His lip twitched slightly, and he shook his head. No, it has't. Other than the fact that they wanted us to start a war, and now it's the end of September, and there hasn't been a thing. Nothing's been happening on the global front, either.

It makes me wonder if something's going on inside the organization.
professorlionface: (Intense concentration.)

Is there any way they could have planted the information? Some kind of red herring to put our guard at ease once the time passed? Maybe it was too quick an assumption that Lachesis was behind that day.

Do we have anything to corroborate the source or veracity of the information we've been working from?

And this is why I don't believe it's anyone until I have proof, Hank. There's nothing to suggest that it was Lachesis, it could have been them, it could have been a diversion, it could have been someone else entirely working their own agenda to screw with us. There's no origin, and the only thing we had was people hearing voices.

There's no way to confirm or deny any of it. We have to go on tertiary data to pull the strings together, and unfortunately, that takes time to not only analyze, but gather.

You might instead say I was hoping Lachesis was involved, because she we at least know already to have those capabilities. If Vulcanus, or really anyone, has achieved the means for not only psychic assault, but molecular rearrangement that's both instantaneous and remote, and interdimensional travel beyond our present means.

If they can do all that, then we're under greater danger than we might have thought. Which is saying something, really.
