At home, I hadn't been active on the team for some ten years or so. In that time, I've been a Defender, a member of X-Factor, and until recently an X-Man, though I've also been a reserve Avenger on various occasions.
When I arrived here ten months ago the only affiliation I had was with S.W.O.R.D.

Well, I've been telling other people that I don't know if we'll get an actual team up and running, but we've too many resources and people here to just be sitting on our hands. Bobbi and I think working with and training some of the younger heroes is probably a good idea, at the least.

And that sounds like a fine plan. If they're going to be practicing heroism anyway, it's usually better to let them, but provide supervision. Mentorship helps them learn from someone who's been through it all before, and provides a safety net should they bite off more than they can chew.
As far as the team itself goes, I know we may look disorganized on the face of it, but we've usually been dependable when a crisis arises that calls for it.

That's what I was thinking. I've only done the mentor thing once, though, so if you have any trade secrets I'd love to hear them.
I don't doubt that we'll all assemble when we're needed. It would just be nice to have something around in the meantime, you know? I feel a little out of sorts, not having a team to point at to say, "I'm one of them."

Well, I tend to refer to myself as an Avenger despite our current status. The mansion certainly hasn't been busier than it is now, even if our roster is in something of a flux.

And the roster being in flux isn't exactly something new.

The Avengers were always about meeting the threats none of us could do alone, and I feel almost as if those threats are of a far different nature here than they were at home.

How different is far different? If there's enough powered people here, I'm guessing there's things like we're used to that crop up at least every once in a while, right?

Vulcanus was similar to that. A bit less messy, a bit more corporate, but similar.

Do we have much info on them?

Amanda would know more than I do, as she was neck-deep in the operation. She did, however, supply me with what I believe to be a sample of their processing gel.

Processing gel. Just what were they processing? Whole bodies?

It's part of their power-grafting process. Not knowing more beyond that and with the inside source we had being less than forthcoming on the topic, I've had some difficulty discerning which part, but I'm sure it's vital.

Is there anything we can do to get more info on what it does? Other than whatever sorts of tests you're undoubtedly running already.
