Tony Stark had strolled the corridor in anticipation of the arrival of his old friends. Seeing Thor staring out the window he paused to wonder what an Asgardian God, the God of Thunder himself, might see in the machinations of mere humans. "You know, Thor" Tony said, "I've always wondered why you hang around. What is it that a God sees in a city built by the hands of man?"
A proximity warning let them know the cloaked Blackbird, transportation of the X-Men, was approaching. The scanners installed in the security dome of the Stark Tower told him that Allison Blair, Jonathon Silvercloud and Henry McCoy, along with several young and unregistered mutants were on board. "Looks like company's arriving, big guy. Hey, who else is home tonight?"
Tony asked the God of Thunder, having not been concerned about superhero-ing tonight. A gala event had been second on his mind behind a new tracking system he was developing, but still before any responsibilities to the Avengers. That was, until the call rang in from Beast about the whole situation in LIMBO.

The son of Odin stood, arms folded, looking out of the window at the city of Manhattan stretched out below him. The voice of his fellow Avenger broke his gaze and his mind returned from it's drifting. The twinkling lights below reminded him his place above the mortal children of the Earth who he had chosen to protect, "The God of Thunder answers not to thee my friend, but I will say that the choice is mine, along with the reason. As for this evening's watch I do not know. I am here by your request Anthony-" the sound of the incoming aircraft interrupted his words for only a moment before he said "I believe we have company."

"Tony that's gotta be them." Carol Danvers said as she came walking into the casually adorned living space. Casual by Tony Starks standards that was. In her own estimations it was a bit lavish, even over the top, but the tastes of an eccentric millionaire where hardly her concerns, tonight she had drawn firewatch.
"Scans confirms stealth mode system, but the code-ident. is Hank McCoy, so the big question is...which one of you two gentlemen are serving the hors d'oeuvres?" she grinned and tilted her head to the side waiting to see Thor's reaction. Carol loved messing with him.

The view of the Stark Tower made Heather's eyes pop open. "Wow," she whispered. It looked incredibly different from the new angle. Even more powerful than seeing it from the streets of Manhattan when she visited once in a while. Now that she was going to be in the presence of one of the most powerful people in the world, made Heather McCarthy feel quite small and a bit afraid. He was know for his brilliant designs and weapon making; new technology that was way past its time. Meeting THE Tony Stark was going to be an experience.
As the plane landed, Heather looked around to see if anyone was as shocked as she was. She knew that the older kids might have already done dangerous missions like this, however it was still a big deal. She looked to Beast, the Dazzler and Forge for further instruction. The rescue mission had begun...

Looking over at Aqua, who was sitting next to her looking quite shocked, Veronika was rather bored. It is a nice building, quaint even. I pass by it all the time on my way to that fabulous little bistro Ivan used to take me to for some of our dates. It's a nice building, but what is so interesting about a place with nothing but computers and all that nonsense. Though Papa's friend does work here, so I know it is important. I'm sure Papa would love to hear about what I see. She flipped her hair and yawned again, stopping to admire her perfectly done nails.
Heather seemed rather fascinated by the building. She must not get out to the city too much. Veronika uncrossed her legs and took off her seatbelt, smoothing out her hoodie. She glanced at Onyx and batted her eyelashes. He was just so sexy and would look so nice on her side. Now to figure out an excuse to be near him....

Gina sat up as she felt the plane slowing it's forward momentum. Her eyes opened as she recognized the fact that her meditative moments were drawing to a close. Now was not a time for lethargy, no she would need to be sharp and on her game. This was the Avengers she was going to be meeting, and although the X-Men were incredible in their own right, these were Earth's Mightiest Heroes!
"Hey stud, you ready for this?" she called over to Ironclad. She knew it would get under Tracy's skin if she ignored her and for a second she did but then she added "How `bout you, HeartString. You ready?" It was a weak gesture she knew, but maybe things needed to start somewhere. Gina could be bigger than her past and break with expectations. Hell she'd already done it with her own team's expectations, why not this plane full of people too?

Onyx tried to keep his calm self stable as the jet came to land at the large building he remembered seeing on the TV back home, some sort of military related guy owned it or something like that. Jasper never really payed any more attention to the news other than things which influenced his life directly. Perhaps if he had payed more attention he would undterstand how important a place this actually was. "Vhe are 'ere ja? Zhiz is vhere vhe stop?" he asked aloud, hoping for an answer from the pretty blonde lady, although confirmation from one of the other adults or even the older students would do. He just wanted to know where they where meant to be and if here was where they needed to be.
Watching carefully, he saw some of the others taking off their belts and followed so himself, thankful to be free of the restraining instrument which was holding against the seats. He stood up slowly and cracked his fingers and stretched out his arms a little. Stupid planes made his limbs stiff, and he wanted to go for a run! He could do with one of them. "Vhat do vhe 'ave to do 'ere, Miss? Do you know?" He asked, raising an eyebrow slowly as he turned to look at the pretty blonde woman. If only he went for the fashionably pretty blonde girls. Onyx turned his head and caught a very unnerving look from the red head. On second thought ... maybe not a good idea.

Dazzler smiled softly as they landed in Stark Towers. It had changed a good deal since the day she first stepped foot in it when Captain America, Ironman, and Hawkeye came to her aide against the Sisterhood. She peaked out the window and her smile widened when she saw Tony, Thor and Carol standing there. Carol was a doll and back before when Rogue was still in the Sisterhood, Ms. Marvel and Dazzler went up against her a few times, though it did result of Rogue getting Carol's powers at one point. Allison smiled and looked over at Hank. "Hank take it off camouflage, I think it's alright to be seen now," she said in a teasing voice before she looked over at Onyx, who was unbuckling his seat belt and stretching. "This is where we stop for now darlin'. The people we are going to see can help us get into Limbo to get the our friends out of there," Allison answered as she glanced back out the window.
"And darlin', please call me Allison or Dazzler. With a name as snazzy as that, I'd like any excuse to hear it," she said with a smile and a wink. "Well we're about to find out. I'm sure once we all made the greetings, Tony, Thor, and Hank will come up with a grand rescue mission plan. You'll meet them in a bit," Allison answered before she looked over to catch Veronika looking at Onyx adoringly. Poor sweet thing is going to get her heartbroken with this one. Ah but we all gotta learn while we're that young, she thought as she unbuckled the belt unzipped her jacket.

Tracy felt the excitement of everyone on board. It paled in comparison to her own excitement though and as soon as they touched down she slapped her hand down on her seat belt harness and practically flew out of her chair. "Let's go Mason, you want to be the last one off? This is Avenger's Headquarters, mister. You know they are some of them Gods and Goddesses, some have seen the world when it was new. I know the X-Men get around too, but you gotta admit this is cool!" Turning to see a look on Gina's face something between acknowledgment and surprise, Tracy realized they felt the same way about the super team. Her power told her so, but the reason for their coincidental agreement of feelings were probably not the same. Tracy figured Decibel for liking them for their stuff or for the guys, most hottest guys of any super-team. Too bad Captain America was not going to be greeting them. Tracy suddenly made herself sad thinking of the funeral of the heroic super soldier. "Uh, I'm good Gina. Thanks for asking. Ready as one gets I suppose." she said to the Hellion. She smacked Ironclad in his shoulder to get him to move. "C'mon you big lug. First impressions and all, you know." Tracy had a note of urgency in her voice and since her teammate wasn't moving quick enough for her she turned and looked out a window. "Oh my god! His shield! It's Cap's shield!" she exclaimed. "Why do they keep it in the hangar? Thats hardly a place of honor. Look!" she pointed at it as it sat leaning against the far wall.

In all of the many winters that Mato had seen, he'd never seen a building as magnificent as Stark Tower. It was every bit like Forge described it to him and more. Mato's careful eyes took in everything as he saw the bear within him wanting to take full form to experience it himself. With careful control, Mato kept it in as he unbuckled his seat belt and saw the other occupant in the van getting up, including the beautiful Dazzler, who's lovely little skunk was prancing around her feet. It is truly a magnificent piece of architecture. An turquoise amongst a swarm of pearls, he though as he stood up and waited for the door to open. He looked over at the blonde haired boy and saw how troubled the mongoose looked as it rested on his shoulders.
Mato checked around and made sure she had everything before he looked at the elders in respectful silence.

With Tracy so close to him like that, Mason found it hard to marvel at the 'great Stark Tower' like everyone else. He was too busy trying to keep his emotions away from the surface. It's not like I've never seen Stark Tower before anyways. Man do I miss Captain though, it's not gonna be the same coming back here and him not being here. That's life though, he thought as he chose to let those feelings surface rather than the ones that came every time Tracy looked at him with those bright searching eyes.
When the jet landed, Mason made quick work of unbuckling his seatbelt. He caught Gina's eyes and made a point to look her up and down as a smirk formed on his face. Yea I gotta tell her to keep her window opened when we get back. Back to the old routine. And what a sweet one it is, he thought as he smirked at her. "You know me Gina baby, I'm ready for anything," he said before he felt the smack from Tracy. Not that it hurt him, since he was invulnerable to pain, but he still felt it. "I'm going doll I'm going," he said as he spied the magnificent and familiar shield.
Mason liked the Captain, sort of looked up to him for awhile. That's why it was weird being back here and not seeing the regal and honorable Captain America there to greet them ready to do anything he could to help. "I don't know Doll. Don't charge through the door though, wait for Doc to open it," he said as he grinned over at Gina again to distract himself. Being around Tracy was hard work.

The jet landed smoothly, much to Forge's satisfaction. He had updated this baby well and by the resistance it showed to the strong winter wind. Forge easily turned off the camouflage switch, since there was no longer a need for it. "Alright everyone, it's safe to unbuckle and stand up. I'm opening the entrance, but wait for Beast to get out first than follow him. And try not to trip on the way down," Forge said in a knowing voice as he looked over at Mato, silent and respectful as ever.
"Well Mato, this isn't the first day that you expected I'm sure. But now you can show everyone what you are made of," he said and stood up patting the young man on the shoulder. "It seems that you may have a great task to do yet. Come, I'll introduce you to the the Avengers. I've told Thor and Tony about you before and I'm sure they'd like to put a face with the name," Forge said as he walked with him after Beast.

Hank took off his seatbelt and smiled softly at Dazzler. "It's off Daz, I'm sure they know we're here. If Tony's system can dictate your entire medical history from a teardrop, I'm sure it can detect a camouflaged jet," he said and stood up, watching as all the students were getting ready to go off. "Attention everyone please. We are now in Stark Tower and about to meet the Avengers, many of you for the first time ever. Stay on your best behavior and stay focused on the task at hand. Follow me," Hank said and walked off the jet, patting Forge on the shoulder before he went down to see some very familiar and pleasant faces.
"Ah Tony, glad that you tore yourself away from your social life," he said with a knowing smile how some unlucky lady would be lonely tonight because of him. He shook his hand in greeting and moved on to Thor and Carol. "You both are certainly a sight for sore eyes. Carol you look wonderful and as expected you have not had the changed in the slightest," Hank said to his two former teammates. "I'll make this short. You all know Dazzler and Forge," he said pointing to the beautiful lady and the the American Indian. "And I'm sure you remember HeartString and Ironclad. That is Decibel, a very talented young lady with gifts that are from the same line as our Dazzler. This is Nok~Off, Aqua. The young man with Forge is TrueSpirit, and the young man by Dazzler is Onyx. They are the students I chose to bring along with me," he said the short introductions.
"Now let us not waste another moment. We have urgent business that we must attend to, and since no one is fashionably late," Hank said with another look at Tony since he knew his friend's habits well. "I would like to get on this right away."

Onyx nodded a little at the confirmation of where the team was now from the pretty lady. In truth he found her a very calming person to be around, she felt more comforting in a non comforting way if that where possible, as she was able to make him think clearly despite his intense entanglement of emotions which swirled inside him. Changing over and over again with every new piece of information given. "Zo, mizz Allizon Dazzler vhe are going into Limbo certainly ja?" He asked in a self confirming tone, hoping to clear his own thoughts with the change of languages.
Self pride swelled inside him as he began finding it easier to understand these American people and their different accents despite it being a second language not favoured by himself. Still, at least his ego was shaping out again after the big blow from seeming so weak during the trip, which seemed so very short compared to many others that he had done. "Und vhe meet ozhers who vhill go vith us, but vhill zhat not slow uz down"? He said to again, although it was so quiet he doubted anyone heard.
Watching as the furry blue man exited the jet to meet others who where apparently waiting for them to arrive, Jasper decided to take a quick glance around - avoiding Nok~offs glance of course - and taking in with something of a great interest to what the hanger looked like. "Dies steigt von Hand aus, müssen wir schneller als dies bewegen. Bringend blondie und gestaltet verrückte Gepflogenheithilfe uns entweder. Bewässern Sie und immitaton - großer Schrei. " *This is getting out of hand, we need to move quicker than this. Bringing blondie and fashion freak wont help us either. Water and immitaton - big whoop.*[/sup] He grumbled to himself as he crossed his arms over his chest and straightened his back. He formed a line with his mouth as he looked sceptically about the room, knowing that for now he would have to simply sit and wait ... again.
