[Video / Action] Danger Room is go!
[Natasha doesn't normally make open posts on the network and she's been fortunate so far in that the magic here hasn't decided to reveal her at inopportune or embarrassing moments for everyone else. Today she makes an exceptionhowever, opening a broadcast for the network in general. When the video starts, it reveals the redhead dressed in her typical sparring attire in a bright open room. Her manner is friendly and open because she's here for a reason today. Which should be apparent when the video pans out to show the expanded room behind her.
It's a mix between a gym and a training facility, something resembling the rooms that had been used back at SHIELD for the more extreme styles of training. There's no weight machines or treadmills here, but there are two large sparring rings off to one side, an aerialist set-up and high bars, a large climbing wall, and a row of waiting punching bags and training dummies. A simple running track rings the outside of the room and the entire area is lit by large windows on the far side of the room overlooking the lawn. The opposite side of the room holds a large obstacle course for training purposes. Behind it, the wall held a series of doors that led off to smaller rooms for private sessions, weapons training and a holographic simulator - the one room that was still in progress as Tony tinkered with it. The entire floor is one large mat, letting any space be potentially useful for whatever needs the users had. ]
Hello, Wonderland. I've heard a lot of discussion about this lately and about a week ago, some of us decided to do something about it. I know there's training and self-defense and weapons classes that happen at various times and places around here, but a few of us thought having one centralized location for these might be helpful. We had a facility similar to this back in our home and it was almost always in use.
This one will be here night or day and open to anyone who wants to come and learn or practice with others and if the existing lessons occurring would like an equipped place to hold them, we have private rooms set up along the side as well as this central one. We're also working on a room that can simulate battles and attackers in hologram form but we're still testing that out as our resident genius is still tinkering with the technology, so I apologize ahead of times if there's any bugs.
That said, you can find this room on the first floor in Rooms 20 and 22. I'll be here for most of the day to answer any questions or help out if you need it.
Also, on that note, I know I've offered this to a few people, but I suppose I should make it official. If anyone would be interested in learning self-defense or weapons skills, I have a wide variety of hand-to-hand knowledge and training in... well. A lot of things. I've been passing this on to some people, but I don't mind adding new students to people interested in learning, or even just testing themselves against someone, if you're in search of a sparring partner. I'm sure some of my fellow Avengers are also interested in doing the same, so you can let me know here or stop by.
I've found I have a lot of time on my hands here and I'd like to see about filling a bit better. [This is confessed with a bit of a rueful smile, because she's sure she's not the only one with this sentiment. She doesn't bother with goodbyes, but flicks off the feed after that, letting interested parties respond however they'd like.]
((OOC Note: Feel free to respond via video or stop by in person, Natasha will be chilling in the training area for a while to answer questions or set people up for lessons with whoever she knows of that might best benefit them. And don't be surprised to find random other Avengers wandering in and out as well.))

Action!
He still felt guilty about that, all of that. Of losing Cassie and Vision but also of being part of the reason that the team disbanded. That the remainder of the team, his family, had felt the need to hide from him that they were carrying on, without him. But maybe now things could be different.
Billy took everything in as he wandered around, it looked a lot like the facilities that the Avengers used in his world, with a few differences. He notices the rings hanging from the ceiling and grins, easily floating himself up to inspect them. He forgot how much he enjoys flying. ]
Action!
Technically, that's cheating.

[He floats down till he's standing in front of her.] This is really impressive.
no subject
[ She's grinning fondly at him as he floats back down to join her. ]
Thank you. I hoped it would be useful. And I expect your team to show up for regular training.
no subject
[He flexes an arm at her. ] Ok, maybe not. We've never actually had formal training, just things we've put together ourselves.
[He gestures to the cloth ropes hanging from the ceiling. ] What do you do with those?
no subject
[ She looks a little surprised by that, but the more she learns about their world, the stranger it sounds.
Her gaze follows his gesture to her aerialist setup and she gives him a crooked smile. ]
That's for those of us who can't fly. Although I think I may be one of the only ones who uses them frequently. You've never seen something like this before?
no subject
[ He's babbling, but that might have been one of the only good things to come out of that mess. That and Tommy. He shakes his head.]
Nope, I mean I've seen those rings like in gymnastics but not that fabric rope things.
no subject
Tony and Steve can be very stubborn when they think they're right about something. I'm sorry about Teddy's mother, though. And here, we'll try and do something different. Because Kate was right.
[ And if they're going to continue with being superheroes, they needed the training. Whether their world's Avengers thought so or not. ]
They're aerial silks. [ Her lips curved faintly as she reached out to give one a tug. ] It's a type of acrobatics. A bit of an unconventional training, but it's something I've used for years now.
no subject
I know I speak for all of us when I say we would definitely appreciate that.
[ He eyed them with interest. ] Do you think you could teach me?
no subject
And yes, probably. How good are you at climbing?
no subject
Climbing? [He looks down at his arms and then back up at her. ] Lets just say theres a reason i was always beat up in the locker room after gym class.
no subject
Yes, well. You're here to keep that from happening anymore, hmm? Just in back alleys instead of the locker room. We'll start you with climbing ad then move on from there. When you ca reach the top of this rope ina satisfactory amount of time, we'll move on to the next step. But I can show you what you can do with it, if you like?
no subject
[Rambling, Billy, you're rambling.
He looks at the rope doubtfully.] Do you have all week? Yeah, show me what you can do.
no subject
[ No pun intended. Probably. ]
Technically, I've got as much time as Wonderland gives us. [ Her lips curve at that as she reaches out and grasps one of the silks. ] Alright. Take a step back.
no subject
[He takes a step back and watches.] Go ahead.
