Never fear, reinforcements are here!

"Gosh..." The GLA Quin-Jetta pulls up outside the gates of the Avengers Mansion. She's had to change the oil twice on the drive so far. The engine turns over a few extra times after she pulls out the key ( Read more... )

"Now, you just slow down, Sweet Cheeks. You haven't met the big time boys, yet. I know they need us, you know they need us, they on the other hand may be a tad slow on the uptake," Big Bertha squeezes out of the Quinjetta passenger door. How she fits in there is a matter for someone like Reed Richards to figure out.

She then whispers to Squirrel Girl, "Oh, and remember- we're now the Great Lakes X-MEN. The last thing we want is Tony's lawyers on our case again."

Standing off to one side is the Scarlet Witch, studying Damage Control as they work. She sighs wistfully.

monkeyjoe_says March 16 2006, 18:02:55 UTC

"Golly, Big Bertha. How could I forget?" She tries to take a deep breath, but her new leather uniform hasn't broken in yet.

"Tony Stark wouldn't really sue us, would he?"

She sees the Scarlet Witch across the lawn and waves enthusiastically.

"Oh yeah? Haven't seen that 'Iron Lad' kid around lately, have yeah?" Bertha asked conspiratorally, "I hear they got him locked up in the same place they put all those teenagers who illegally downloaded music."

Captain America puts his com-card away, and he looks at the new arrivals.

He approaches the two heroes. He's seen what they can do... or at least, he's seen Bertha before... and he knows they mean well.

"Bertha, Squirrel-Girl... what can I do for you?"

bobbi_morse March 16 2006, 18:21:07 UTC

She'd been wandering around not sure what to do when she saw the new arrivals.

"Hey! Long time no see guys." Um yeah stupid line since she was dead but she can't help herself.

monkeyjoe_says March 16 2006, 18:23:54 UTC

Wow. Captain America knows her name. AND one of the founding members of the GLA is here. This is goign to be a red letter day in her diary!

Monkey Joe taps her shoulder. "Cherrt. Cuk Cuk Ckeet." Her eyebrows pull close together as she nods solemly at Monkey Joe's words. Festivities will have to wait.

"Mr. Captain America, sir, you need our help. You've got a groundhog infestation."

bigunbeautiful March 16 2006, 18:24:54 UTC

"Bobbi!" she runs up and gives her a huuuuge hug.

"This is wonderful! We can take your picture down from the Departed Comrades post it board. See, Squirrel Girl? Our mortality rate isn't that bad."

Tony has been running diagnositics on every trace of the Mansion's security. He thought he might have stared a bit too long when he saw the first wave of groundhogs. Huh, didn't know there were such things living in New York.

Then the squirls started performing flanking manuvers. Not much can wrest Tony from his work, but this was just too weird. He's starting to wonder if one of the mind controllers got "odd," again or if Wanda's powers are getting a little out of hand. Those might explain the security breach.

When open warfare broke out it was time to just stop if only to let his mind adjust to it all.

"Scarlett which, Captain America..." He starts to ask something only to be interrupted by groundhogs desciding he looked like higher ground and the squirels then got involved in mugging him. All those claws which chances for rabies. Sound have stayed in the suit. "What the HELL?!"

monkeyjoe_says March 17 2006, 04:13:32 UTC

Squirrel Girl runs up to Tony Stark.

Iron Man. Tony Stark! He's the dreamiest.

"Chirrt! Chk! Chk! Chirrup!" Most of the squirrels back down from Tony, though one burrows into his left pocket and another wraps its tail around his neck and holds onto his ear. The chirp enthusiastically at her.

"Mr. Stark! Are you alright? They were only trying to help. I promise!"

stark_inc March 17 2006, 05:41:34 UTC

He's not all that sure on either count.

"You...influence these...squirrels, miss?" He's trying to catch a name.

monkeyjoe_says March 17 2006, 16:15:31 UTC

Squirrel Girl sniffs. It must be the concussion. Surely Tony Stark couldn't forget when she defeated Dr. Doom and saved Iron Man... even if he did turn her down as his sidekick. One day she'll prove herself to him. Every superhero needs a sidekick, and she'd be a gosh darn good one.

"It's Squirrel Girl, Mr. Stark," she says. "And my Squirrel Friends found something very suspicious in a groundhog tunnel."

She hands him some of the severed wires. One of them has a wire splitter held on with some electrical tape. "If I didn't know better, I'd think someone was trying to add wires TO the mansion, not take them out. Look at the way this one is cut." She holds up a wire that's had the plastic coating carefully peeled back to expose the interior without damaging it.

He's been trying to make himself useful. Hauling debris, getting dinner for the Damage Control crew since they're going to be here for awhile, repairing the bits he knows how to (Hey, he did run a munitions firm even if the admin he had had to read everything back to him)...That kind of thing.

The fridge still works. He pulls out a couple of beers for himself and Clint and then gets a couple more for Jen and Bobbi while he's at it. He's walking across the grounds, sipping his brew when the war starts. He's been to some sci-fi cons where the furry situation got ugly, but this is something else.

He hands out the beers. "Huh. Are those squirls from the Bronx or Hell's Kitchen?"

wanda_maximoff March 17 2006, 03:47:22 UTC

"Simon." She looks relieved to see him. "Uh, Squirrel Girl says that someone's been tampering with our wires."

monkeyjoe_says March 17 2006, 03:52:13 UTC

Monkey Joe bows to his fellow squirrels, then scampers off to pry a large piece of bark off a nearby tree. He runs up Wonder Man's leg and perches on his shoulder. With a gentle tap, he holds out the bark, mimes signing, and smiles hopefully.

Groundhog blood drips onto Wonder Man's uniform.

simon_williams March 17 2006, 04:11:38 UTC

::blink:: Well, squirrel or not, he knows the look. The blood is kind gross, but...oh well, fans. He takes a leatherman out of his pocket, flips a small blade up and does his best to sign his name. He's been practicing.

"Who do I make this out to?"

Man, someone tampering with the wiring? Tony is going to be PISSED.

There's a rapid torrent of swearing, followed up by a boot thrown through the air at an errant chipmunk, which apparently took it upon itself during the small furry turf war to relieve one of the Avengers of his wristwatch. A barely-dressed Clint Barton arrives on the scene. "Can't a guy even take a damned shower around here without som -- "

wanda_maximoff March 17 2006, 12:07:17 UTC

"Hawkeye? Are you all right?"

avengingarrows March 18 2006, 02:50:36 UTC

He eyeballs the new arrivals, standing there in bare feet and jeans. "Fine, once I skin Chip n' Dale there for dinner. Should have guessed. Anyone of you ever hear of calling ahead?"

wanda_maximoff March 18 2006, 02:54:22 UTC

"They thought we needed help, and they were right." She clears her throat and murmurs, "We had webcams in the mansion."
