"So that means we're not going to collapse, right?" There's a hint of concern in her tone, own cerulean gaze flickering between him to the freshly made hole before them. sight flickers down to her own hands,brows furrowing when no wondrous spark of power dances along her palms - what was it refered to? out of juice?

"Ok, running then? hiding? Because I could usually get us out of here, but i'm going to need time."

@ofphoenixiron from here

[ofphoenixiron]

"Nope, no collapsing. No time for that," he assures her, and his legs feel like jelly, sure, but thankfully the suit can take most of his weight. Adrenaline will keep him going, at least until they're safe, he's sure of it.

He has no idea what she means when she says she would usually be able to get them out of there, but he takes her at her word - this is a world with Norse gods and wizards, there's no point in doubting her. Either way, though, it looks like they're out of luck when it comes to a quick escape. "Running," he replies, nodding slightly. "Definitely running. Come on, this way."

@ofphoenixiron wants a lyric starter from Stiles.: xxxxx Song: Calm Down by All Time Low,

Stiles barely had time to come to terms with the fact that his dad was gone and within his will, finding out this entire time that Tony Stark was his birth father, but now they BOTH had to deal with the goodman pressing knowing already because someone leaked it to the media. ❝Don't tell me to calm down;. It's freaking me out that YOU'RE not freaking out.❞ He should relax because yelling would not change anything; nothing could be done to fix this. The news was already spreading everywhere like a wildfire burning out of control. ❝This s bullshit.❞

[ofphoenixiron]

Of course he was freaking out.

He'd been freaking out since Pepper had told him the news and transferred the call from Social Services, and he was certainly freaking out now that this was somehow stamped across every single news outlet. He was going to find whoever had leaked this to the press, and they were very, very much getting fired.

It had to be someone from his legal team, he figured. It had to, because it wasn't Pepper, he doubted it was someone from Social Services, and aside from that, the only people who knew were bound to the Stiles' friends. Teenagers weren't exactly the best secret keepers, but he was putting them on the end of his list of suspects.

"Okay, okay, look - I'm freaking out, too! But right now, that's not going to help anything, so just take a breath. We can handle this," he promised him.

[evolvingheartismar-deactivated2]

@ofphoenixiron gets a starter from Pepper: xxxx

Pepper seemed really frustrated with whoever was on the other side of the phone; the annoyance on the redhead's face was as clear as day. She was ready to hang up on them but kept herself calm as the person chewed her out for something she had no control over. ❝I will be sure to keep that in mind for next time.❞ When the call ended, she removed the Bluetooth and shoved it away in her desk. ❝If I have to deal with one more politician today, I am quitting.❞ It was hard to tell by her tone if she was joking.

[ofphoenixiron]

And that was exactly why Tony was so incredibly grateful for Pepper, he thought as he half-listened to the conversation, typing something quickly on his phone. There may have been another run of scholarships in the works, which would very likely mean more conversations with politicians, but that could wait. It wasn't why he'd come here in the first place, anyway.

"Should I tell the senator outside to leave, then?" he asked. Then, just in case it wasn't clear from his tone, he added, "I'm kidding, I honestly have no idea who's out there. So, who was that?"

[luposcainusarch-deactivated2023]

He frowned. The prince shuddered at the thought . The prince wished he knew more. “ That’s all I know Mr. Stark. I wish I knew more or what the trickster prince is up to. Apparently this Loki is the one you fought in New York.

He apparently escaped with the Tesseract when you were trying to get it during that time travel thingie..” Caspian explains. How did he know this? The Wizard. Caspian was still surprised that Mr. Strange can tell him this .

Caspian was tired. He knew that this mission was something he wanted to do to prove that he can be an Avenger too. The prince sits on the chair. He still stares at the screen.

He rubs his eyes. “ I want to sleep, but I want to keep on helping. I wish I knew more, but I cannot remember anything else.. other than the fact there are three spider people too..” Caspian frowned. He was so lost now.

[ofphoenixiron]

"How in the hell did he do that? I saw him be transported back to Asgard, we couldn't have - wait, don't tell me. He's one of those variants, isn't he? Branches in the timeline." For every given event, there were a number of different possible outcomes, and as the web expanded, the possibilities became infinite.

There were infinite Lokis out there, causing infinite amount of trouble, and if he was getting a headache from that thought, he was sure Thor's would put his Asgardian resilience to the test. It was no wonder he'd apparently decided to hide out somewhere and raise a kid instead of getting tangled in this mess.

He let out a sigh, then turned his attention back to Caspian. "You get some sleep - F.R.I.D.A.Y. will help you find a guest room. I'll see if I can track Loki down. If we're getting any answers on this, it's gonna have to be from him."

Not the Loki that, from Thor's point of view - which Tony took with many, many grains of salt - seemed to be on their side. No, a Loki from back in 2012. A Loki that may as well have come straight from battle. Great.

So much of a reasonably safe mission.

[luposcainusarch-deactivated2023]

Caspian nodded. That is what he heard. The prince spoke. “ He killed something or someone called the Conquerer?” He asked.

Or at least that is what the sorcerer told him. There was a lot of things going on. He wished he knew more but that is all from the things he has been receiving from his friends. The werewolf’s people do not know about this and they wish to stay away from it. Though Caspian is trying to do something. He placed his hands in his pockets.

He never touched an Avenger’s computer before. The werewolf shrugged. “ There are these things called variants which are versions of us around the multiverse. I wonder if there are Caspian variants out there! Pretty wild to find out if they all look like me.” Caspian was getting out of track. The werewolf let out a growl.

He entered the name. KANG.

[ofphoenixiron]

That should not surprise him, Tony thought to himself, but it still did. How the hell had Loki managed to do something that screwed with them again? And this time it maybe messed with the entire multiverse?

Why? How?

"The Conqueror. At least that sounds like a bad guy." He sighed, letting himself collapse on his stool. "Okay, so Loki kills this guy - let's assume he had a good reason for it. Something happens with the multiverse, which can't be good if our grumpiest of wizards here is involved. What then? He comes back to Earth to visit his family?"

It didn't make sense. They were missing some pretty big pieces there, he could feel it, but the only way he could see this puzzle coming together would be to find Loki, and that wasn't likely to be easy.

"Kang," Tony read, frowning. "Who's that? F.R.I.D.A.Y., does that name mean anything to you?"

There's a moment of silence before she comes back with, "there are several entries under this name. However, none appear to be collected to the theory of multiverses, or have any known associations with Asgard."

[luposcainusarch-deactivated2023]

Caspian thought for a while.

Now science wasn’t his strongest suit, and he just nodded at Tony’s words. He tried to understand but his wolf brain was just focused on other things. Caspian crossed his arms. Upon speaking new visitors , the prince thought for a minute. Upon seeing the video , Caspian suddenly snapped his fingers. Saints!! He almost hissed underneath his breath.

“ Oh by the Saints , I remember . I visited Doctor Strange and I heard that something’s happening with the multiverse and timelines . Loki is also somewhat alive..” Caspian uttered. He looked at the video. He walked over to the computer . Caspian shuddered at the thought. Maybe Lokis the one causing this? It always had to be the Trickster Prince. As the dark haired wolf frowned he typed in something.

MULTIVERSE .

[ofphoenixiron]

"Loki? Again?"

Tony let out a long sigh. This was, from Thor's stories, the third time that somehow Loki was declared dead but found to be alive. At this point, they should just stop assuming he was dead - clearly, he had more lives than a cat. It would be great if he could just be on their side for once.

Though from hearing Thor telling it, he had actually come around in the end. Maybe this was him trying to drop in on his brother and his new niece or nephew.

Wait. What was that about a multiverse?

"Wait, wait, wait - so the multiverse is real. Okay, I figured it probably was from what the wizard said. But what's going on with it? Shit, did we mess with the timeline too much? Create some kind of tear in time? It shouldn't - the model looked solid, but... well, it's not like I know anyone who's done this before." He ran a hand over his face, glancing back at the screen. "I don't know how that would affect an Einsten-Rosen bridge, either. But I could see how Loki might. You think he's involved?"

There's a part of him that almost wants to say 'I know, right? Thank you for acknowledging what a nightmare of a day this has been,' but he simply doesn't have the time for that. Because this day, apparently, is a gift that keeps on giving. He really can't wait for it to be over.

"You know what they say, we can collapse when we're dead." He glances towards the gaping hole in the building, which at least makes a convenient window into the disaster outside. He almost misses the Chitauri army at this point. Almost. "And that's going to be very, very soon unless we get the hell outta here right now, so come on."

That's a good question, really - what does he need? Medical attention? Probably, but it can wait. Everything feels more painful than urgent, he's long since learned to tell the difference between the two. For the most part. And many medical professionals would likely disagree.

A suit? Certainly, but there's nothing anyone can do about that right now.

A drink? Definitely, but it probably won't help the situation, and breathing is currently still too much of a struggle to waste precious oxygen on a quip.

"Just uh - " a sharp breath and a wince, a hiss of pain. Busted ribs, he figures. Great. "Just give me a sec."

Measured breaths follow, and the world slowly comes back into focus. The pain is receding a little, and he's cautiously optimistic. Maybe it's a bruise rather a break - that would make the rest of this fight a lot easier. "How's it looking out there?" he finally asks, struggling to sit up.

[luposcainusarch-deactivated2023]

Caspian nodded. “ Okay I can do that! I promise I won’t let you done Mr. Stark.” Caspian did notice that most of the Avengers were no longer here or they are busy with their own thing.

Caspian knows where Thor is but that really all he knew. The werewolf was wondering what kind of mission this was. He sounded like a young child . He acted like it too. The dark haired wolf was sad that the normal Avengers aren’t around anymore.He missed them. He admired them.

Now Caspian wasn’t very great when it came to Asgardian things. The prince kept quiet before crossing his arms. His nose twitched . “ Will this mission need my wolf nose or teeth?” He asked. His eyes cannot glow but if they can . Caspian let out a small hum. “ Come on let’s do it.” He said with a excited smile.

[ofphoenixiron]

There was something about Caspian that reminded Tony a little of Peter - the eagerness, he supposed. It made him worry that he was leading him down a dangerous path, but that was what this was for, right? An audition. A low-stakes mission (hopefully) where he could learn more about him, see if he was up for this.

Or if he understood what he was signing up for.

It shouldn't be an issue, he reminded himself. This was someone who fought alongside Thor, probably faced foes Tony couldn't imagine and should be grateful for it. Their Earth issues should be small, in comparison. Right?

"I don't know," he said at the question, turning his attention back to the the holographic screening of the incident. "This could be nothing. Maybe there's natural variations to the readings from Einstein-Rosen bridges that we don't know about because we've only ever seen a handful of them, but something seems fishy about this. The only way I can account for this is if... no substantial masses travelled through it. Which would make sense, because from the video it looks like we don't have any new visitors, but then why would it open at all? Wrong number?"

He ran a hand through his hair, letting out a sigh. "Do you see anything that raises any eyebrows here? Know anything about these bridges that can make this make sense? I'm all ears."

// @luposcainus

[luposcainusarch-deactivated2023]

The werewolf chuckled. " Wait , there is an audition? I want to participate!" He was already excited for this. The prince already was getting off track. He cleared his throat . Oh Saints. Well Saints are his religion , he sits on the chair still maintaining a respectful distance. " Maybe this whole thing of what we are doing can be by audition!" Caspian chirped up. He was indeed becoming like an excited puppy. The wolf clears his throat before shrugging. He hummed. STOP IT CASPIAN. BE PROFESSIONAL. Caspian looked back at Tony with that same blank expression. He smiled a little. He was very much a child at heart. " I am supposed to be an adult, but I did not mention that I have a bit of a hyperness in me so.." Caspian then became silent.

[ofphoenixiron]

Technically, there wasn't an audition. There wasn't really any process to accept new members into the Avengers. Wanda and Vision became members by default after they were taken under their wing, the most they'd really had of a process to accept a new member had been with Peter, and even then it'd been really just a discussion.

An audition was probably a good idea, though. There had to be some kind of process, right? Pepper was always reminding him of the importance of following procedure, of the reasons why things were done a certain way. They probably should have a process to accept new members, especially when their ranks were so thinned.

The Cap was gone. Nat was gone. Vision was gone. Wanda was... off somewhere, he still hadn't managed to locate her, but he knew she was likely still in rough shape. Thor had a kid now, and who knew if he'd be back.

They needed new members, and they had a very eager candidate. Why not give him a chance?

"Perfectly normal reaction to getting offered an audition," Tony reassured him, offering him a small smile. He'd have to run this by the others if everything went well, but hey, there was probably something Asgardian going on there, he needed some help, and there was no one else available. They couldn't very well complain about him handling things when they were away, could they?

"We'll call this one a test mission. If it goes well, I'll talk to the others, maybe we do one with the whole team. What do you say?" He moved to take a seat on his table, quirking an eyebrow at Caspian.

// @luposcainus

[luposcainusarch-deactivated2023]

Speaking of Thor, Caspian knows where he is.

" Well Thor and I just finished beating a being who wanted to kill all gods, and saints." Caspian uttered. " Your Majesty is out somewhere raising the daughter of Gorr called Love." His friend might question that, but that was not the issue right now. The werewolf well was 'Asgardian' so he might want to pay attention to this.

The prince looked at the video that was on the big screen. Caspian could consider himself an alien, though he was not sure if werewolves are aliens though. Caspian snickered at the thought. " Yes I have a second or two. I do not have anything to do really.. other than diplomatic talks, and such." He wondered what video this was. Caspian bites the inside of his cheek.

" Will this get me into the Avengers team?" He curiously asked.

@ofphoenixiron

[ofphoenixiron]

"Saints? Saints are a thing now?" Sure, Tony thought to himself, why not? Titans were. Space rocks with the power to snap half the universe out of existence. Why wouldn't saints be a thing? Really, at least in name they'd existed for all his life - this was just confirmation that living ones existed, too.

What really did surprise him, though, was the end of that explanation. "Point Break's got a kid now? Huh. Could've at least called - trade parenting tips, maybe set up a playdate with Morgan." Assuming they were of a similar age at all, but really, he was more excited at the prospect of her having someone around who might understand the strangeness of her childhood. He tried to make it as normal as possible, but - well, he was an Avenger. There was only so much he could do.

At the question, he raised an eyebrow. "You looking for an audition?" It wasn't a bad idea, really. He'd helped before, and with the way things were... they could use a few more people on their side.

// @luposcainus

[luposcainusarch-deactivated2023]

@ofphoenixiron liked for a starter .

IT WAS INTERESTING for Caspian to be called to the Avengers HQ though he was not an Avenger, but this moment alone feels like he was a member of the team. The werewolf was dressed nicely for this too. This place never failed to amaze him, and it semed there were new things added almost every single time he visits here. The prince stood a respectful distance from the Iron Avenger. " You .. wanted to talk to me?" Caspian asked. The prince placed his hands together, looking like a lost puppy. " Mr. Stark ? "

[ofphoenixiron]

Once upon a time, the possibility of actually meeting beings from another planet would have been nothing short of exhilarating. Hell, he couldn’t say that meeting Thor, despite the circumstances, hadn’t been amazing. He was curious by nature, and life out there in the stars, the technology they have, the knowledge, space travel - how could it not be fascinating?

Now, the mere thought of space travel made his chest feel tight, and talking to an alien was really not that far from commonplace, at least for him.

The really amazing part was how quickly it’d all happened, how quickly his world had been turned upside down. He thought about that with a frequency he knew full well likely indicated a deeper problem.

So his surprise as he glanced up from his work had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that there was an alien in his workshop, and more to do with the fact that he’d forgotten that he’d called said alien in the last few... however long it’d been. “Yeah,” he quickly said, trying to cover up his surprise. “Yep. I did.”

With a few gestures, the holographic interface of his computer turned to face Caspian, displaying a short video of what appeared to be an Einstein-Rosen bridge, along with all the available data on the incident. As far as Tony could tell, it matched the previously observed instances of Asgardians traveling to Earth fairly well, but it had some striking discrepancies, too, and those were what worried him. That, and the fact that as far as he could tell, no one actually arrived with that particular bridge. “This video is from yesterday. I’ve been up all night trying to account for these discrepancies, and so far all I’ve got is an empty bag of coffee and budding migraine. Bruce is still MIA and as far as I can tell Thor’s off-world, so any chance you’ve got a sec?”

Especially when he tries so hard to show everyone that he isn’t like his selfish father, and that he just wants to help people. But no matter what he does, they only seem to see an arrogant, rich asshole instead of the traumatized man that he actually is.
