Still in his tuxedo, bow tie undone, Tony walked forward to greet his old friends. Shaking Forge's hand and slapping an arm around Beast as he winked at Dazzler he smiled. "Welcome to the tower everyone. So I guess we have a lot of work to do."
He looked at the group of children and said softly to Beast "Hank, I know you have your reasons for bringing the - the troops here, and I wont question your motivations but we've got some prep work to do. So lets get to it huh." Then turning to address the kids he said "I don't know if we have enough pudding pops for everybody, or whatever you guys like, but we'll do our best. Come on in."

"AH Ha haha. Pudding pops! The GOD OF THUNDER loves pudding pops, especially the chocolate ones." He smiled holding his arms out and saying "Who amongst thee wilst join me in the kitchen for cold pudding on a stick? As cold as the ice bridge of Bifrost, but far tastier indeed."
Looking over to Dazzler he said "Children bring such blessed joy to life, Allison. Wouldst thou agree?" He walked forward to Onyx and tousled the boy's hair with a chuckle "Look at them all Carol-" he said turning to Ms. Marvel "-they are the future of humanity."

"Yes, Thor, the future of humanity indeed, and thank you Henry- you look great as well. Been working out some?" she said tossing him a compliment of his own. "Welcome everybody, lets come inside and get to work. But a thought occurs to me since it's getting late." she looked at the kids and said "If you guy are tired we can get you some beds in to nap on until these guys are done making plans. Dazz, don't you think it's past some of their bed times?" she motioned to the two young girls and Onyx as she looked to Allison for her take on the children's welfare.

Onyx looked at the rather enthusiastic man who began crying out for some sort of frozen desert. Everyone here had something wrong in their head, every single one of them. Except the pretty blonde woman, she was probably the only sane one out of the lot of them. Still his eyebrow rose dramatically as the man came closer and ruffled his hair as he spoke to the oldr lady. "Erhalten Sie Ihre Hand ab von mir" *Get your hand off me*[/sup] He grumbled as he shook his head and stood on the other side of the teacher. "Mizz Allizon Dazzler vhich vhon iz zhis?" He asked with a still raised eyebrow, looking at the man with a sort of confused look. What in the name of everything good did he think he was doing? "Fremder Mann" *Strange Man*[/sup]
He looked at the other woman standing over by Beast and shook his head a little, catching a little of what she was saying about him and the other students. Sleep was not going to help him, even if he went to try and lay down he would not be able to rest enough to calm down and take a nap. He was too worried and very aggitated about the every lengthened wait which was growing by the minute. So, he turned to the furry blue man and spoke a little louder, hoping to get a positive answer. "Tierherr, ich würden bevorzugen zu bleiben und zu hören, welche Pläne gemacht werden dürfen, wenn wir dann ich helfen werden, würde besser wissend fühlen, was weitergehen könnte. Ich würde besser so fühlen, kennend ich, dass Gepflogenheit mit keinen Informationen gesteckt wird." *Beast sir, i would prefer to stay and hear what plans may be made, if we're going to help then i would feel better knowing what could be going on. I would feel better that way, knowing i wont be stuck with no information.*[/sup]

With a flip of her hair and a quick application of her lip gloss, Veronika was out of her seat, grabbing onto Heather's arm and walking out of the plane with an angelic smile and demeanor that would make a nun proud. She gracefully walked off the plane with her cute little strut and came up against Onyx. She giggled at the big Viking looking man, batting her eyelashes and putting on the adorable routine that never failed her in the past.
Veronika recognized the lovely Ms. Marvel from the newspapers. Finally! The best idea I have heard all night. Really how rude of them to expect me to come here tired from a long trip and not get an ounce of sleep. A small dainty yawn escaped her mouth as she looked up angelically at Ms. Marvel. "Oh some sleep sounds delightful. I am ever so tired," Veronika said and smiled angelically up at the adults and giving Onyx a subtle flirtatious wink.

Heather unbuckled her seat belt and followed Veronika and the rest into the Headquarters of Stark Tower. The building was even more amazing from the inside and the famous Tony Stark was incredibly handsome. Unfortunately he was a bit too old for Heather and she still had her heart set on Ian. The problem was she didn't truly want to admit that. It was a betrayal to Lorelai and Ian's relationship as well as the friendship she was able to maintain with them. But now she feared the loss of their lives since they were both in LIMBO taking care of one another.
Walking into the room where Tony Stark, Ms. Marvel and Thor were, Heather looked at them in awe. She didn't know who the viking looking man was, however knew he had to be important in some way shape or form since he was there to greet them. "Hi," she said with a small smile when she and the rest of the young mutants were greeted. She listened to what was said and exchanged between Dr.McCoy, the Dazzler, Forge and the trio of Avengers.
Too much time had been wasted in leaving the school and coming over to the tower in Heather's opinion. Not only that, but now she was asked if she wanted to go to sleep? What was the point of them coming over here in the first place? She didn't want to disobey orders, however she also didn't want to just sleep while her friends were in hell. She wanted to be there and help in any way possible, even though she knew her powers were useless in the overheated world.
"I would like to stay," she said to the adults. "I just want to help and get my friends out of there. To get everyone out of there really." Her face was serious and she hoped Veronika would understand why she didn't want to accompany her to where ever the sleeping quarters were.

"Yeah I second that. Not like I'm one to take up with the little squirt, but blondie has a good point. We came here, we want to help, let's get to it for crying out loud." Gina said from the back of the assembled group "I don't mean to be a bitch, but the people we are trying to rescue don't have the luxury of sleep or pudding pops. So can you guys do whatever it is we are here to do and get us to LIMBO already?"
Her voice was taking on an edge of impassioned fire as she said "Hell it's not like you care about your fallen. Heartstring seems to care more about Captain America than you guys do- I mean lookit his shield- it's just laying there. Why would we think you would care about our people?" Gina was getting pissed off now. "Beast, Forge, Dazzler...Why are we wasting time? Let's get these chumps workin or get the hell outta here?"

It felt so good to be back at the Avengers Tower, almost like visiting a childhood home to Dazzler. This is where she came whenever she needed a safe haven or the comfort of being surrounded by friends. She walked with Onyx off the jet and beamed at Tony, winking right back at him. "Miss me Tony?" she said before she giggled as the Son of Odin got so excited over his favorite treat. "This Onyx is one of the greatest Gods of Asgard, Thor, Son of the Great Odin," Allison said with a laugh at the proper introduction she knew he preferred. She reached up to kiss him lightly on the cheek in greeting to one of the best 'protectors' she'd ever had.
"And this is the ever wonderful Carol Danvers, also called Ms. Marvel. Darlin' you look wonderful," Ali said to her long time close friend that she never lost touch with. She gave her a quick hug and then put a hand on Onyx's arm in comfort. Allison was about to say something before Gina's outburst. "Gina darlin' calm down. We all had a long day, and we're just trying to all have a clear and comfortable mind so we can focus on the mission. We'll get there," she said soothingly to the girl. She didn't know what to say about Captain's shield, choosing to keep her opinions to herself. For all she knew thats what Steve wanted. He always saw the symbolism behind seemingly insignificant things.
Allison smiled at the uneasily. "Veronika, I'm sure there is a place you can rest, you've had a long first day," she said to the small red head. "Gina is right, we should get on and come up with a plan fast. I hate Limbo its a horrible place, and Captain Britain said he'd be on call," she said with a small smile hoping to keep the peace within the group.

What a big mouth bi- Tracy started to think, but then her empathic sense picked up on the fact that Gina was being sincere and earnest. "Uh I didn't mean anything. I was just saying how his shield should maybe have a place of higher honor than laying there against the wall." She looked around the group as they gathered there. A glance in the direction of Ironclad and she batted her eyes at him. Her look told him she felt like everybody there was going to think she was being judgmental and a slight frown crossed her lips.
"But what do I know right?" she tried to sound jovial, but this was not turning out good she thought. "At least we all seem to agree we have a job to do and we're ready for it." her shoulders slumped a little at the thought that the Avengers would think she was stuck up or something.

"Funny thing about that shield " a voice echoed off the far wall of the hangar deck "See it's not Cap's...It's mine." Stepping around the back of the Blackbird, a blond woman with a costume reminiscent of Captain America's stepped forward. "Name's American Dream. The shield is, well it was Cap's- that is a Captain America from another dimension. So yeah, it's the real deal alright. Howdy X-Men and x-kids, welcome to the tower." She stepped over and retrieved her shield without another word about it's origins or her own and walked up to stand next to them. She was one of the newer Avengers and hadn't met any of the mutants before.

With all the new people, Mato's senses were overwhelming. One of the reasons why he found pleasure in being a Shaman was he would appear in a large group of people only on occasion. He watched as the man introduced as Tony Stark greeted them. The large hare that stood at his feet made Mato smile, for his brother at home had the same animal within him, though different marking that points out the individual characteristics of the soul. Mato looked at the God Thor, purposely trying to avoid looking at him too closely for it is very disrespectful to read a god's soul without their permission. Instead Mato looked at the lovely Pelican that stood at the light haired woman called Carol's feet. Known for the proper use of abundance. These X-Men have chosen their allies well, he thought as he listened in quiet and respectful silence.
Mato watched as Decibel's buffalo stomped around in frustration, looking agitated. It seemed everyone was on a certain high as he watched all the animals move around on high spirits. All that is except the small redhead girl. Her Weasel sat around her shoulders, looking rather bored and yawning. He looked over at Forge, who stood there with his usual analytical eyes and analyzing the group. In the midst of the commotion, a very interesting looking woman came in. Despite Mato never being outside of his village before now, he had heard great stories of Captain America. Forge told him often about the Great and Honorable Captain America, his great deeds and a man that lived by the true value of good and the morals that go along with them. The woman looked like a female image of the picture Forge had of the good Captain. A proud looking Ram stood at her side that made Mato smile at the muscular woman called American Dream. He bowed a bit to the women before he waited for the group to proceed. American Dream may have been just what the group needed to calm down.

Getting off the Blackbird, Mason nodded to Tony and Thor with a half smile to the ever lovely Ms. Marvel. He hadn’t seen them for a good couple of months, and the last time he was at Starks Tower was when Captain was still around. Despite the fact that Mason was far from the ‘boy scout’ that Captain was, he really respected the guy. Despite all the crap that he’d seen, it never corrupted Captain America or any of the ideals that he treasured. That Mason had to admire since his own beliefs were already corrupted by the world. He put a hand on Tracy’s back, mainly to comfort her as he focused his attention on Gina’s words. He was a bit pissed too, until this female version of Captain America came out from behind them. Mason looked her over with hard skeptical eyes before he just nodded. A female Captain. He’d be flattered as hell if he was here. Power to her if she stands for everything that Cap’n did, he thought before he rubbed Tracy’s back a bit and moved a bit away. It was a constant job to keep his feelings hidden from her, and the day he slipped up would be hell.
“Enough of this shit. We’re all here so let’s make a plan already. I doubt they’re sitting in Limbo having a god damn tea party and talking about classic literature with Belasco. Let’s do this then,” Mason said, as usual always blunt and to the point. He wanted his leader out of there and the others too. Plus some of those chicks were just legal enough for him to screw around with, so the possibilities were also a good motivation. That and he’s itching for some action.

Forge had clapped Thor on the shoulder and nodded to Tony as he got out. He winked at Carol and turned back to shut down the Blackbird. He looked over at Decibel and watched the girl's frustration. Forge coolly walked up to Henry and Tony. "Everyone settle down. Let us do what we came here for and try and keep our emotions under control. It won't do if we're all letting our feelings take over our heads," Forge said in an tone of authority.
This is far too personal for some of them. Keeping a cool head is essential, he thought as he waited for Tony to lead them to wherever they plan to have this little pow-wow. It had been too long since he'd been here.

Hank sighed and looked over at the edgy students. “Watch your language Ironclad,” he reminded the young man for the umpteenth time. “Forge is right, we all need to be focused on the mission ahead and not let personal feelings keep us from focusing on this mission. Now I will say that it is great to see all of you despite the circumstances,” he said and turned to American Dream. “It is a pleasure to meet you, I’m sure Steve would be extremely flattered had he met you,” Hank said with a smile before he turned to Tony.
“Now Tony, I believe that it is high time we sit down and figure out what to do. Captain Britain sent Daz over a rather interesting map that I’d like you to look at. We have little time for anything more than a rough plan that we are sure will work,” he said firmly as he looked as he held out the USB that he brought with him that contained all his information on Limbo, as well as a documentation of the events that led them to that freak accident in the lab. “I brought enough information to inform you all of the dire situation. , Veronika I am sure there is a place where you can lie down for awhile. You have had a long first day. Now without a moment to lose, everyone step along and do not wander,” Hank said firmly and looked to Tony so he can lead them through the ever changing building into whatever room he preferred, though Hank hoped it would be the lab or some place where he could properly show him the information he had as well as the one on Dazzler’s phone.

He started walking, leading everyone into the interior of the Avengers Headquarters when a sound emitted from a communication panel on the wall by the doorway they were approaching. Pushing a button on the panel a voice came through saying "-~- sir, there is a four twenty seven in that room with you, SHIELD protocol dictates we jam it's transmissions. Copy?-~-" Tony spoke into the wall unit saying "I copy that, follow protocol." Turning back to Beast he said- And as Thor led those who were hungry to the kitchen, and Carol led those who were tired to sleeping quarters, Tony Stark pushed open the door to the infamous Lab number Four. Inside glowing equipment resonated and vibrated just slightly, almost not there in a way. Solid to the touch, but only just. "Alright then let's see what the limey has for us. Where's the feed from Captain Britain?" he asked walking over to a huge screen with a keyboard attached. Looking around it was plain to see that there were no chairs or any other items that could be flung about the room, everything was attached to something else, or so it seemed. "I'll boot this up and then I guess I'll go change. This isn't exactly the suit I want to be wearing in Limbo." he smiled back at the group. Tony was hard to upset but he was getting close to the line. He had offered help and opened himself up to this even though he knew that getting involved in dealings in the next closest thing to hell itself were not what he considered a fun Saturday night. "Alright it's up and running, Beast do your thing...and if you'll all excuse me I'm going to get suited up. be back in a flash." Tony left them in lab 4.
