Attack of the Evil Grandfathers: Time for Dramatic Splash Pages! In a Sociopath's Delusional Mind! @ 07:56 pm

[info]nextgen_baddie:

Well, that'd been a fun little jaunt uptown. Here was hoping it would put some ideas in the girl's head that his new buddy could make use of. Or not. Maybe it wasn't that kind of story. And of course, the Thinker hadn't been able to take down Alpha Flight. No harm, no harm. All just interlude. Just softening up.
But waltzing up to a base in the middle of nowhere, of course, isn't Zeb's style. Too vulnerable, not enough leverage. So he's in town, cozy in a restaurant he's properly taken over, having analyzed a few choice haunts, keeping an eye out for any of Kara's girl's little friends.

He dialed the phone.

Attack of the Evil Grandfathers: Salvo @ 10:58 pm

[info]nextgen_baddie:

The Baxter Building's security was on high alert. Just as it should be. All the more cameras to watch the people line up and start beating against the glass. Pressed close as a riot. Pounding on the doors until their hands bruised, blistered, and bled..

Zeb didn't stand with them, of course. He was out of sight... but near enough that the pheremones wouldn't wear off easy. Not for a long, long time. He'd had this crowd primed.

Attack of the Evil Grandfathers: Escape. @ 09:16 pm

[info]nextgen_baddie:

Zeb had to admit it: as absurd villain team-ups went, the writers could have done much worse. Read more... )
He turned it off, smiling. "What about you, Denk? Want to give your boy's little girl a preview, to listen to just as the view cuts back and forth from the news to her blank little face?"

On My Way (Open to all FF) @ 05:22 pm

[info]quitethecharmer:

He'd changed his address on file with ESU and arranged for his place on the team to be covered in his absence. Accomodations were all set at his destination. There was no sense delaying this anymore. Vincent looked over his room. He'd put everything into sub-dimensional storage for retrieval later, save for a few personal effects he was keeping in his satchel. He hit the intercom. "Could everyone meet me in the main living room, please? It's rather important."

It's not a date, it's an educational experience. (Aleron) @ 04:36 pm

[info]invisible_girl:

Emily would say that Valeria was asking Aleron out on a date. Valeria would counter and say that it wasn't a date, it was an educational experience, as Aleron did mention wanting to go to the Central Park Zoo. And it wasn't Valentines Day. Valeria had purposely avoided asking him on Valentine's Day, because then Emily would never let her live it down.

And yes, she liked Aleron. However, acting on her feelings would be unwise, as if he didn't return them, that could possibly make things awkward on team-related business. She could at least enjoy spending time with him.

Valeria walked up to Aleron's room and knocked on the door.

The Battle of Olympus @ 11:50 am

[info]nextgen_misc:

The trail eventually led the Avengers, Future Foundation and the Defenders to the other dimensional realm that served as the home of the Greek gods. They traveled to a few realms that were home to other gods only to find them destroyed and in ruins. Olympus wasn't in ruins, but it was under attack. Battle raged all around and the skies thundered and were lit up by lightning bolts.

I Was Working In The Lab, Late One Balmy Night (meme response) @ 08:01 pm

[info]wiz_kid:

Bentley Wittman the 23rd had a problem. The pinnacle of his scientific career so far was about to come to fruition, and he had no-one to celebrate with. The whole 'for science!' meme lost some of its luster without witnesses who weren't obligated by contracts to collaborate with you. With that in mind, he checked his schedule, and the time relative to a few thousand miles away, and got into his personal flier.

***

A short time later (shorter than safety guidelines for the machine's specifications would indicate, really), he's hovering outside Valeria Richards' window, tapping on it insistently. If she's not there, he's going to have to raid her lab next, and she always gets so cranky about that.

Its the End of the World as We Know It @ 12:48 pm

[info]treadlightly:

They'd done their scouting. They've put up all the defenses they could, and put themselves in a position to attack. Buck has reviewed what they have on hand, and the situations exploding around them.

"Alright, folks, thank you for your patience. I know its been a tense situation waiting and doing patrol work... but I think we've identified some key points in the enemy strategy. We're still going to have to be careful. We're dealing with major influences here, but...

Alpha Flight... and their current guests, should be obvious. There's every sign that more of the Great Beasts will be awoken... that's a top priority situation.

X-Men... and the Genoshans - in following up the uprisings earlier, we've identified a 'Cult of Apocalypse', who took the whole massive fight before as a sign its time for En Sabbah Nur's awakening. We've located some of their likely strike points, your leadership has marked maps.


Champions and Thunderbolts, we've located a massive danger in the Red Lord. Its been determined that it will likely take both teams to deal with it.

Nightstalkers and Big Hero 6, we have a second target of the same type, Sakhmet. You two are on that.

SHIELD will be picking up on all of the general monitoring, crowd safety and control, and other work we've been doing in the lead up to this.

Finally, Avengers, Defenders and FF - you're with me. We're targeting the masterminds behind this.

Any questions?"

Maria Stark Foundation Winter Charity Ball @ 07:51 pm

[info]nextgen_holiday:


You are cordially invited to attend the 28th annual Maria Stark Foundation's Winter Charity event.

Four Seasons Hotel
57 East 57th Street
New York, NY 10022

Friday 21st of September
Seven O'clock pm - Midnight

Formal dress required.

Please bring a donation for Toys for Tots.



The grand ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel on 57 East 57th street was festively decorated for the holidays. A series of lit candles on every table gave off warm light and the dulcet tones of a jazz ensemble filled the room.

People, the upper elite of New York society, Hollywood celebrities, musicians, politicians and even superheroes moved around the room. People sat at tables and talked, while some moved gracefully around the large dance floor.

Tables loaded with unwrapped and unopened toys lined one wall and at one end stood a very large decorated Christmas tree. Wrapped presents sat under the tree, but they were just empty boxes wrapped for decoration. Mistletoe hung from the ceiling near the tree and people stopped to kiss.

The air was light and the mood happy and festive.

Trust me, it's for your own good. (Tim) @ 10:34 pm

[info]girlspy:

Alice did not like how mopey her cousin had been lately. She knew Tim was feeling a little blue lately, and she was going to fix that. She'd made a call to the Baxter Building, and set Tim up on a blind date with Valeria Richards of the Future Foundation. She was cute. She was nerdy, and she loved science. Perfect for Tim. He deserved a nice girl. And if he if also got laid in the process, then that was pretty awesome for him, too.

Alice made her way to the lab when she knew that Tim would be there by himself. She walked in, grinning from ear to ear.

"Hey, Timmy!"

Nope. Totally not up to something at all, not her.

And the holiday season begins (open to any FF meme threads) @ 01:14 am

[info]unseenpowers:

Whoever was in charge of the Baxter Building holiday decorations certainly went full out. And not just on the floors the public was allowed to go to. Giant decorated trees, lights everywhere, various hanukkah themed ones too and mistletoe randomly above doorways.

Aleron was currently floating in a doorway and staring up at the doorframe confused. Usually he'd visit Earth on Christmas to spend it with his father's side of the family, but he hadn't really been privy to the whole 'holiday season' bit. So he could only really recall that there was some tradition attached to this plant, but he couldn't remember what it was at all.

A Time Honored Tradition - Rate the Hunk @ 02:01 pm

[info]anyastark:

Traditions were important.

For a lot of people the day after Thanksgiving meant hitting the stores and getting great deals on items that would most likely be Christmas presents. For the female Avengers and others the day after Thanksgiving meant a different tradition. They would gather and rate the hunkiness of the male members of the various teams.

Anya had been up at the crack of dawn and readied the Thunderbolts' headquarters. Normally this would take place in the Avengers Mansion, but the boys would be holding Rate the Babe there and the girls needed their own space. She made travel arrangements for everyone invited. Avengers, X-Men, SHIELD, Future Foundation, Alpha Flight, Champions, and the Defenders.

Anya had the event catered by a local restaurant, not wanting to make the Thunderbolts chef have to feed so many people. She had even made sure that all of the Kelly's guns were unloaded.

Everything was ready for their guests.

A Day of Thanks @ 11:39 am

[info]nextgen_holiday:

"Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart." - Seneca

In America today is a day for being thankful for the things in people's lives. Today was a day to celebrate family, friends, prosperity and health with food, family and friends. It is a time to reflect on what is important us and to recognize the gratitude we hold for having those things in our lives.

All the technology in this building and the elevator breaks down (Bendytimed before Evil!Reed stuff) @ 07:39 pm

[info]unseenpowers:

 While normally he took the empty elevator shaft left over from the original F4 and human torch days to move between floors, Aleron did occasionally take the elevator. Mostly out of interest more than anything. It was more efficient just to step into the empty shaft and adjust his gravity to send him to the appropriate floor but...he kind of liked trying the more normal stuff.

So he waits in front of the elevator doors for it to come. 
 

So You Tell Me You Don't Believe We're on the Eve of Destruction @ 07:35 pm

[info]nextgen_misc:

Night settled over New York and the Baxter Building at Four Freedoms Plaza was quiet.


Or so it seemed.


In the lab of Reed Richards all was not quiet and something BIG was about to happen.

Lab time (open) @ 08:27 pm

[info]invisible_girl:

Like almost always, Valeria was in her lab at the Baxter Building. She had just started her doctorate classes in engineering, and in addition to that, she had a couple of other projects that she was working on, like always.

Valeria had some classical music on (Mozart was a favorite when she was working on homework assignments), and her nose was buried in a book, as she glanced over occasionally to take notes. She had a cot in the side set up, and a whole weekends worth of meals in a mini-fridge, as well as a microwave to heat food.

...If Franklin or someone didn't force her out from time to time, Valeria would probably end up living in the lab. Not that she minded that possibility at all.
