So, this place seems to have gone even more crazy than usual. [Carol's outside, flying a little ways above the... tree, which isn't unusual for her. What's more unusual are the shimmering dragonfly wings sprouting from her shoulders. She's not sure if they'd be functional if she wasn't already capable of flight, but still. It's interesting.]

Seems like it's hailing random objects outside too. Is anyone stuck outside? I can help get you back inside. If this actually qualifies as inside at this point.

[ Natasha's witnessed the dangers of outside firsthand already, which is why she's postponed most ventures out of doors this week. ]

I think it might be hazardous to our health to venture that far out for a few days.

[ Her tone is wry, because she supposes there are worse events they could be dealing with right now, but this has certainly been an odd clusterfuck of them. ]

Looks like. I almost got hit with a live cat. But people might have gotten stranded out there. Thought I should at least offer.

[widows_kiss]

[ ....... ]

Wonderland made it rain cats?

[ What kind of messed up event is this? ]

Be careful anyway. I saw someone nearly become a crater from a falling shoe box. There wasn't a lot of warning for it, either.

[airforceful]

I will be. [Though she's pretty sure it would take more than a falling shoe box to take her out. Then again, it's because she's careful. She's keeping an eye on the skies.] You holding up all right? Rest of the castle isn't much better.

[beatupgrass]

I woke up with freakin' wings.

[so pressed.]

[airforceful]

Do you still have them? Please tell me there are pictures.

[beatupgrass]

[Long pause...]

Yeah...

[another pause.] You wanna see 'em?

[NOT SUSPICIOUS AT ALL, ROCKET.]

[airforceful]

[Sense motive 10 means she squints at him since he might be showing her a furry dick picture she doesn't know but she's pretty sure she can handle it if it's a trap and her curiosity is stronger than her wariness.]

All right. Shoot.

[beatupgrass]

Not over the d'ast phone, Danvers. [GOD WOMAN.]

[airforceful]

What, are you being shy?

[beatupgrass]

I ain't givin' anyone else in this place a reason to point and laugh at me.

[assistanting]

You know you look like a bug, right?

[airforceful]

I noticed, yep. But it's that or get stuff dropped on my head. Not how I usually fly, but I don't mind it.

[assistanting]

You could come to the basement, I guess.

[maybe she shouldnt give that information out and let the basement be her safehaven]

What do you mean you usually fly, though?

[airforceful]

I'm a superhero. Flying's one of my powers. But I don't do it through wings. I do it through energy conversion. It's a little difficult to explain. [~COMIC BOOK SCIENCE~]

[assistanting]

That's awesome. Can you teach me?

[airforceful]

Not unless you've got a Kree wishing machine handy and it's about to explode. It's not something you can just learn, unfortunately.

Though I suppose you could try it with the wings, even if they won't last.

[assistanting]

Are the bug-wings just from this stupid event?

[Video]

[luckynumberthree]

Whoa!

[ Cue Simon staring at you in fascination. ]

Are you flying?

[Video]

[airforceful]

Oh? Yeah. That's not actually an event thing, though the wings are a new touch. I'm an Avenger.

[luckynumberthree]

Can you all fly?

[ Because he's aware enough that there's several of you here sporting that title and maybe Billy's been holding out on him. ]

Is that a thing, where you come from?

[airforceful]

Not all of us. A lot of us have some kind of power, but the details vary. I fly. Some of us shoot arrows or turn into a giant green monster or swing on webs. The thing that binds us together is how we use those powers. Protecting the world.

[luckynumberthree]

From what, exactly?

And all of those sound... pretty strange, actually. The flying part's cool though. Have you always been able to fly? Are you an alien or a mutant or something?

[ He doesn't sound accusatory about it, just avidly fascinated. And his comic book knowledge is pretty sketchy in general. ]

[airforceful]

Part-alien. I was born human, and ended up having my DNA partially overwritten. It's... a long story.

[luckynumberthree]

Yeah, I think we all have some of those. The long stories, I mean.

[ His reply is sheepish but he doesn't press for more than that. Then again, maybe it's something they unexpectedly have in common. Although hell, the flying is a nice bonus. He's a little envious, to be honest. ]

Sounds like a hell of one, though.
