Rescuers ASSEMBLE !

[THOR]

After some time...

Returning to the lab minutes later with the children who had gone with him for snacks, Thor met Tony at the door. He was clad in his IronMan armor and inside the lad could be heard the sounds of Beast and Forge hard at work theorizing.

[Ms. Marvel]

Even later still...

As she pushed in the door to the lab, after tucking Nok-Off into her very own cozy little bed. Carol looked around lab 4 to see the room all a glow and preparations for a dimensional gateway well underway. "I thought you said this would be a difficult task if it was possible at all. You guys with your highly theoretical mumbo jumbo, when will you ever learn that once you all get brainstorming there's really nothing you can't accomplish?"

She shook her head at the sight before her, Captain Britain on a vid screen and everybody tossing out ideas left and right. "So looks like we're mere minutes from a trip to hell, huh? What's next? What can I do to help?"

[Aqua]

Heather sighed when the adults were treating her and the rest of the students her age, like children. Offering sleep and food was something Karma would do to her Alpha Squadron, not to the older kids. But who was she to argue? At least she didn't have to sleep like Veronika wanted to. As they parted, Heather waved to her friend and gave her a small smile. "See you later Veronika, sleep well," she said sincerely before following the God of Thunder into the kitchen. She wasn't hungry either, but she had to follow one Avenger or the other. She chose staying awake and watched the others eat.

After some time, Heather was happy that she and the others were allowed back to where the action was being held. Time was being wasted in her opinion. And even though she knew she wouldn't be useful in LIMBO, she had to try and help in some way, shape or form. Ian and Lorelai needed her. She needed them.

[Allure]

Veronika smiled at Ms. Marvel angelically and blew Onyx a kiss as she followed her to the sleep chambers. She also waved to Heather good bye. The little room was quaint, a bit too average for Veronika's taste but she was currently in no position to argue, lest of all that the wonderful Ms. Marvel has a bad first impression of her. At least this bed is in good shape. It looks comfortable enough to be slept in and I am ever so tired. Too bad it is not Jasper here to share it with me. I would certainly make room for him here. Veronika stretched out a bit and took off her designer sneakers and hoodie.

It is a good thing they have an area for me to rest. It is rude enough as it is that I was forced to go without sleep or even time to settle in. No matter now though, I can finally get my beauty rest. Not that I need any of course. She slipped the light blanket over her and closed her eyes as sleep took over her tired body. She had a lot to take in for only being here for half a day.

[Onyx]

Onyx twitched his hand by his side uncomfortably at the introductions to the newest adult figures before him. The large strange blonde man was a god? Surley gods of highest power where in a land not where mortals dwelled. Jasper was not religious but was raised with a basic knowlege of religions world wide and from reading some random crappy book back in school he could vaguelly remember something about Asgard. Some strange place, but whatever it was this guy couldn't be from there. Then again, wasn't where Aideen placed hell? This was far too strange to take in fully so he simply nodded his head and mumbled his greetings in a low voice in his mother tongue. He couldn't be bothered to translate himself right now.

Hearing a voice behind them, he gave a small sigh and turned his head to look at another lady coming in wearing a very tight fitted uniform. Much like the other students and Miss Allison Dazzler. These people where insane, hell was hot and those flimsy outfits where good for shit in a place like LIMBO it seemed. As least he had a thick leather jacket that if the time came he could use as megre protection from something. It was heavy too, it would come in handy. But them .. they where pretty much asking to be hurt.

Following the furry blue doctor and Mr Stark, Onyx gave an appraising look - as much as he could - to the equipment, he was in agreement with the student they called Ironclad, his language was vulger and uncalled for but at least he was in the same mind set as himself. "If vhe do not hasten to move, zhen vhe vhaste time ja? Vhasting time vhill not 'elp zho's vhe need to 'elp." He said in his low grumbling voice, looking at Miss Dazzler with a pleading look in his eyes, he could not show any sort of weakness to these other students, as he didn't know them and their impression on him would change where he to get too angry and end up doing something very dangerous to the room.

Once Mr. Stark returned in a now familiar outfit, Onyx felt a smirk twitch at the side of his mouth as he mumbled in a strange tone. "Eiserner Mann" ^{*iron man*} Jasper had alot of respect for the hero everyone spoke about, his arpitation to be anywhere near half as good as him in mechanics was what drove him to taking up shop with his father a few years ago. This was someone he knew he liked already, as he enjoyed hearing of all the good he had done and all the technological advances he had created. The smirk grew very alowly into one of the very few seen smiles that was worn by the German boy as he looked at his long time hero and in a way, icon. The past and foibles that came with the formation of the iconic figure was not exactly Onyx's idea of perfection. But everything cam at a price now adays.

The eery glow of the room itself was also making the smile more honest. The white teeth reflecting some of the light emmited from the instruments covering the length and bredth of the lab. It reminded him somewhat of the glow that he himself wore when he produced the dark energy, albeit the colour was in no way similar, but it did make him a little more at ease somehow. As long as they got moving then all would be well. "Mizz Alizzon Dazzler, do you theenk zhat vhe vhill be able to find zhem in LIMBO, it zeems like a big place und i vhorry zhat vhe too vhill become lost in zhe large area. Vhill vhe 'ave somezhing to make sure vhe are kept as a group?" He asked slowly to the pretty teacher he had grown fond of very quickly, a strange concept. Usually Jasper was very hateful toward people, but he had his moments apparently.

[TrueSpirit]

Mato walked into the kitchen with Thor, being careful to give him the proper respect the God of Asgard deserves. He was actually quite famished after the long trip from Montana to the Mansion, only eating some of the cornbread his mother packed for him. He quietly made himself a simple sandwich of meat and cheese between two breads. Mato bowed to the God to show his thanks.

Forge was already busy at work with Beast when they arrived. Mato bowed respectfully to Iron Man, the great protector of whom was very highly spoken of by Forge. He ate his sandwich waiting for his assistance to be needed.

[Decibel]

Gina was happy that they had entered the lab and begun to get down to business. Then when Thor and the group from the kitchen came back she rolled her eyes, she hoped they wouldn't slow things down. Then as Iron man came back in, all suited up in his gleaming gold and red armor, her lips curled into a smile. "Now were talkin'." she mumbled to Ironclad nudging him with her elbow.

She liked to play rough with him, especially when they would mess around. Gina was no lilting flower petal like some other girls who would remain nameless. She would actually do a lot to get a guy going and keep him going if she wanted to really have some fun. Her hand reached back to steady her guitar, the strings had begun to vibrate with the equipment, they lent an eerie sound to the already strange hum that accompanied the glow.

With the clasping of her hand their resonance ceased and she felt almost like playing a little. It had been several hours since she had played and that was just about a record for Decibel. She usually played nearly non-stop when she walked around the school between classes and even sometimes as she ate, focusing more on her love of her music than nutrition.

"Hey, the new kid's got a point." she said "How will we find them there? Is there any way we could zero in on them? Limbo is a big place, I for one don't want to waste too much time getting to them once we get there. Why can't we lock onto them from here?" she asked. Walking forward as she spoke, lending her two cents to the flow of ideas all the science types had been spewing out, she glanced back at Onyx and smiled a bit in a way of saying 'you are a clever boy'.

[Dazzler]

Allison handed her high tech phone over to Hank with the document already up so he wont have to look for it. Though Hank was savvy with technology, the way she programmed her phone would just waste time for him to look for it. She also made a mad dash for the large kitchen and grabbed two boxes of those energy protein bars Hawk Eye always kept in the tower. If these kids are going to Limbo, they need their strength. That and a hostess cupcake isn't enough to keep me going, Ali thought as she walked into the lab next to Onyx. She opened the box and tossed the protein energy bars to the kids in the room. "Ok everyone eat up. We got some demon butt to kick and we're gonna need our energy," Allison said and set two on the side for Forge and Hank.

She winked at Tony already in the Ironman suit and handed a bar to Onyx. "I don't know darlin', I could take a few guesses. We got our options. For one Emma's got a connection with all of us, of course that will depend on whether or not she's in her diamond form. Ironman can use detect them with his suit. And unless I didn't read it correctly, I believe TrueSpirit here could be a big help to," Allison said with a smile at the tall American Indian boy who Forge praised whenever the topic of his home life. Quiet or not, she could tell the boy was listening and watching attentively to everything that was going on. And no one can ask anything more than that.

[HeartString]

Tracy had stayed with the X-teachers, preferring not to eat since she wasn't hungry and never just ate out of nervousness or boredom. She wasn't too tired either even though a nap would have been a wonderful thing, she was not one for resting idly while others toiled, she wanted to help if she was needed. She liked the girl Captain America, and thought it was an odd name- 'American Dream?'.

Stepping over to her and asking softly so as not to disturb the work that was happening, she asked her about it. "I think you have some big boots to fill, and I sense that you are more than sure you can do it. You have no uncertainty, it's really amazing to me." Tracy herself was often times uncertain and so to feel the confidence that emanated from the woman was impressive. "I was just wondering about the name though. American Dream? Why that?" asked she.

[BEAST]

Without wasting another moment, Hank and Forge went straight to work. “It is always a pleasure working in Tony’s lab. They have everything that you could possibly need. Now I still have the two components that got them to get there in the first place. Forge, I need you to make a portal opener to Limbo. I believe this will be useful to you,” he said and handed Forge the sample of the rock fragment that he had taken for his inventory from the chip that Cyclops had brought back with Ember. It wasn’t the first time that Forge had built a portal opener and it wouldn’t be the last.

Hank took Allison’s phone and plugged it into the computer so the drawing that Captain Britain sent them. “Forge, I need you to make the opener so it will have a double entrance. If we for whatever reason cannot get them all back to this lab, the Joshua Tree area is our best bet where they will come out safe. I’m sure you can drive there and pick them up without a problem,” Hank stated and went to work on very particular devices. ‘With the right parts and a bit of a sample D’mnchyld’s blood in each device, we can have communication between the two dimensions. Now if I could only have enough for all of them… These parts aren’t enough to cover everyone either,’ he thought as he turned to Tony already in his Ironman suit. “Tony, I must ask have you programmed you’re suit to keep a connection with the main transmitter when in another dimension? I do believe you were working on that last time I was here. I assume you have finished it, but it never hurts to double check,” he asked as he put together a basic communicator.

Hank had the four vials full of D’mnchyld’s blood and took one of the vials. Using a syringe, Hank took a tiny sample and inserted it in a small air blocking pocket in the transmitter. As soon as it was activated, the blood would break inside the transmitter and be used as a communication device between the two worlds, given that the device didn’t break. Then again, Tony had quality material. The one thing he was missing was the air blocking pockets. ‘Of course, I must be fair. How often does one need air tight pockets that are no larger than a pearl?’ Hank mused before he looked over at HeartString, the more gentler of the students and somewhat his pride and joy with her extremely intelligent mind and natural ability to understand the medical field in different views. “HeartString, please fetch Nok~Off for me. I need her at once without a moment to lose,” he instructed as he looked at the finished transmitters. He needed enough for the students at least, since he knew Thor had his way to keep in contact. As of now, he was missing several of the air blocking pockets that he needed.

“Forge, how is the portal opener coming?” Hank called as he grabbed one of the bars Allison set on the table and took a couple of bites. “Ironclad, give the Avengers a copy of the student’s profiles so they know who they are looking for and what to expect. They know the Emma, Scott and Kitty, but I believe it is always worth knowing the new faces,” Hank instructed as he constructed another transmitter. He needed to have enough blood left over for the portal opener, so he made sure to use as small amounts of blood as possible. One vial should cover all the transmitters for them, but he still had to ration carefully.

[American Dream]

Shannon was about to answer the girl when the Beast spoke to the young mutant. Pausing and looking at HeartString, as it was obvious who the child's teacher was addressing, she thought it best to wait on her story.

[HeartString]

Looking quickly to BEAST, Tracy said "Oh, sure. Uh, I'll be right back with her." She looked back at American Dream and smiled weakly to her, "Guess I'll talk to you later." she said and walked to the door.

Stopping only to ask Ms.Marvel where she had taken Nok-Off to nap, she quickly headed off to find her sleeping sweetly right where the Avenger had left her. "Hey," she said softly as she entered the room to wake the pretty young red head "time to get up Veronica." She softly placed a hand on the girl's shoulder and gently shook her to wake her. After Nok-Off was up she led her back to the lab where everyone else was waiting.

[Forge]

Forge didn't miss a beat with the mission. He walked right into Tony's lab, instantly becoming comfortable as he reached around for the materials he could use. Henry made a good choice in choosing the Avengers Tower. Tony spoils this place with oh just every technological material known to mankind, he thought as he took the materials he felt would be useful.

"I'm on it Henry. I think I got an idea how to make this thing," Forge said as he began putting parts after parts together. He took the fragment from Beast and found a place for it in this unique device. He also took the blood vials that were put aside for him and and to handle them carefully. "Hmm... this is a tough one, but I think if I just adjust there here..." he said as he worked on the more technological aspect using an old GPS system that he figured was an old prototype Tony had worked on. "I think I got it Henry, just give me a little more time to work out the navigation on the portal here..." Forge trailed off as his focus went back on his project.

[Ironclad]

"Yeah, yeah I'm on it Doc," Mason said and went to the still opened jet. It wasn't a long trip since he memorized the path when they came to the lab. He finished eating his third energy bar as he reached the jet and grabbed the nearest pile of profiles from someone's seat. With his heightened speed, Mason was back in the lab in less than a minute and handed the profiled to Iron Man. "Here you go, all the students stuck in the Hell hole. I get dibs on the fire girl and the ice girl," he said with a smirk.

He went over by Decibel and his hand reached out to tap her small hip lightly. "Seventeen is a good age, ain't it Gina baby?" Mason asked with a smirk. That was about the age when they started messing around. He leaned over her to grab another energy bar and used that moment to whisper to her before Tracy came back. "After this mission, leave your door and window unlocked," he whispered before he grabbed the bar and leaned up casually just as Tracy came in with the little redhead girl.

[Iron Man]

"Thanks Ironclad." Tony said taking the files from the young man. "I'm sure there must be at least a few students here that we don't know about." He flipped through the pages quickly and made a mental note of the pages to look at when time allowed. The Avengers own files were sketchy at best but the SHIELD files were certainly far more in-depth.

"Hank I think my prototype 'DPS' is a far cry from precise but at the moment I think it'll be good enough to get us to at least my extreme weapons range of any given target." He folded the papers in half longways and flipped his wrist pod open revealing a readout of the prototype Dimensional Positioning System and small keypad. "It will take it several minutes to read it's surroundings and discern the ambient resonance of the Limbo dimension, even though I'm pre-programming the settings now it will need to confirm once we're 'in-world'. I anticipate five minutes tops, but that's a rough estimate." He began typing in the frequency for the pocket dimension.

Over his helmet's comm system he heard the voice of one of the SHIELD techs reporting that the listening device, the code 4-27 which he had ordered jammed, was on the move and headed to the lab. Tony took the opportunity to flip the wrist pod's display to show the mentioned activity and noted it must be the young girl who was entering the lab with HeartString. He would certainly have a closer look at the printout containing her dossier. 'What's her name again?' he thought 'Nok-OFF, I recall it was.'
