After the events of X-Men Mission: Lone Sentinel, Clarice is recovering in the medlab. Under a lot of pain medication.

( Look around, leaves are brown, and the sky is a hazy shade of winter! )

xp_darcy

Professor Gibney runs Parkour club and turns into a creature of the night. Artie, Alani, and Alison find this out in unfortunate ways before America can step in.

( And what were wolves if not the sharks of the land? )

Dr. Darcy Lewistein, her companion Kurt, and latest creation Doug run into trouble from inspectors Matt and Bobby.

( Watch this space for an update. )

xp_bevatron

The Avengers have arrived on site, and join in to help some of the X-Men. There are all kinds of teamups all around the city.

Molly and Maya team up with Kate Bishop. They discuss the philosophy behind superheroing, and benefit plans.

( I mean, at the end of the day don't we all just kinda....punch various kinds of bad guys, gals, and non-binary pals until the problem goes away? )

Nica and Lorna team up with a fossil. Oh, and Captain America is there too.

( Kid, that joke was old when I was young. )

Kurt and Betsy maybe impress Yelena just the littlest bit. She's difficult like that.

( As amateurish as they could sound, they did have training. And were able to work together. )

Logan, Clarice, and Arthur engage in the sort of hijinks that only seem to happen when Longshot is around.

( Hey guys, apparently you can rent electric pirate ships here. That sounds fun! )

Jean-Phillipe and Sooraya are near a museum when there is a literal "from your mouth to god's ears" type of moment. Well, a god. Of thunder.

( Why do I not be more careful with the things I wish for? )

Bobby and Kyle wind up at Under Armour HQ. There is hockey, and Hulk wants to make friends with Mr. Trash Wheel.

( I'm seeing some potential here. )

Scott and Angelo wind up at the Museum of Industry. With a billionaire industrialist.

( I don't know what physics defying powers you can pull out of your asses. )

Kitty and Alex fight giant crabs playing bait and switch - Kitty leads a crab into the line of fire, phases, and Alex blasts right through her to hit and fry the crab. Or more accurately blows it to bits. Either way, seafood might be ruined for awhile.

( Maybe we need, uh, a net. Or a giant pot. )

Alison and Terry break into Oriole Park, hack the sound system and destroy an absolutely astounding number of crabs. Why are the crabs in the stadium? Because they're really not very smart.

( I absolutely meant to do that. Good job me. )

xp_iceman

Bobby and Nica pop out for some donuts, giving them to chat about donuts, what they've been up to lately, and that whole multiverse thing, which they both agree was really something.

( Something and a half. )

xp_tarot

Nica literally bumps into Natasha and they head towards the labs.

( Hey, panic and learning on the fly does incredible things to the human brain. )

Once the evacuation notice goes out, a team goes to the labs to try to shut them down. It does not go entirely successfully but they slow down the spread of nanites - and learn that Nica can track them.

( Don't worry about the liquid nitrogen, I've got this. )

xp_eriment

After a night friendly saving the neighborhood, Miles comes home to find Bobby with a proposition. (No, not a proposal.)

( Crime should totally sleep, it doesn't know what it's missing out on )

xp_cypher

Backdated - Doug and Bobby chill out on some loungers and Doug feels very old as all of his references miss.
( Ahhh, that's the stuff )

xp_eriment

Miles and Bobby get ready for the holidays and talk a bit about the future. Bobby has plans (!).

( Work is dumb. Why can't I just be like Warren or Tony Stark and do nothing? )

xp_eriment

Bobby wants to level up his relationship with Miles. They get bonus exp for what happens next. NSFWish.

( You're acting strange. You've seen me without my pants before. I've seen you. I was impressed. )

xp_daytripper

Having found what they need, the group is sent down to dig obsidian and build a portal.

( Then we can build us a portal and get down to business. )

The team goes through their portal - and finds the way home.

( I literally have no idea what the hell is going on, but I'm already irrationally angry about everything here. )

xp_daytripper

Bobby explains enchanting weapons to Kyle, and Kyle does not turn himself into a parrot.

( Freaking seriously? Video games are dumb. )

It turns out some of their powers do work in this weird Minecraft world, they just have to be clever about it.

( Alright, here we go. )

xp_daytripper

Bobby is the only one who knows anything about this game, but he has a theory about how they might get to go home.

( It's the ENDER DRAGON! ba da DAH duh, ba da da da duh )

It turns out Bobby's plan involves more of the same - digging, farming, building.

( Why is so much of a video game where we fight a dragon more like a video game where we're farmers? )

xp_daytripper

Bobby has set the others to making things, and nobody but him likes it. Clarice is especially displeased.

( Clarice is not Washington, and that’s not a cherry tree. )

Darcy discovers that when you die, you lose your stuff - but not your life - and that she might be able to hack Minecraft with her powers. Maybe. If Bobby could just remember any of the in game cheat commands. Video games are weird.

( How do you escape from a zom-bomb skeleton archer? Don’t ask Darcy. )

xp_daytripper

Terry and Kyle explore, offer commentary on the weirdness of their environment, and accidentally discover they can make things.

( Our intrepid adventurers wander through the <s>desert</s>biomes… )

Our group discovers that they can not only talk to people nearby, but to each other - which is a surprise since they're scattered all over what seems to be an infinity large world.

( TESTING, TESTING… is this thing on?? )

xp_daytripper

Kyle and Terry arrive in a strange place that appears to be made of the color orange and cubes.

Incidentally they are also made of cubes.

( Um... shite. What've you been turned into? )

Darcy and Bobby are also in a world of cubes, although theirs is more floral and forested. Bobby identifies the world as Minecraft.

( BOBBY?! WHY ARE WE LEGO PEOPLE??? )

xp_eriment

One for the way-back machine. Bobby brings burgers and fries to celebrate Nica joining the X-Men.

( 'Nica, 'Nica, she's our X-Man! If she can't do it, uh...YES SHE CAN! )

xp_eriment

Miles considers finally telling his parents the truth about Spider-Man after an accidental public powers display, but reveals another secret instead.

( I can't keep lying. I hate it. It makes me break out and I want clear skin, good grades, and flourishing crops. )

Later in the evening, Miles and Bobby retreat for some private time to reflect.

( I guess it just adds up, huh? Hah. )

xp_topaz

Fire hurts. Especially when it’s inside you.

( I don't feel so good... )

xp_eriment

Miles gets a little too excited when he celebrates Bobby's birthday with him. Sexual content warning.

( Sorry, that's . . . that's never happened to me before. )

xp_cypher

Various mansion firebugs pair off with other folks to quench the fires springing up all over the city.

Ty and Angel - Ty goes NOM NOM NOM and Angel directs things.

( Where to next, Morning Star? )

Johnny and Bobby - the Human Torch and Iceman bro it up, fire-and-ice style.

( Ain't nothin' to it but to do it, bro. )

John-John and Clea - John controls and directs fire while being pissed that he gets paired off with a wet-behind-the-ears witch.

( Oh, and we have to save the kitty. )
