After the War Games (Avengers or related parties)

[alegacyofchaos]

Ree had the car drive the block around the Avengers Mansion for almost an hour before she instructed her driver to pull over just in front. It had taken her the full measure of the hour to work up her courage and her nerve as well as to understand just how detail-exact everything was from memory. The overlap of memory and reality was probably the most confusing and difficult part. Most difficult if she didn't consider how weak her reason for visiting the Avengers was or just how much she resembled a former one of their own--the Scarlet Witch. The resemblance was why she'd chosen to wear blue and keep her hair pulled tightly back, the severity of her look almost enough to make one guess if she was somehow related to the Atlanteans she represented. Ree did kind of look a little like everyone.

Namor himself had given her her reason for visiting the Avengers and it was his endorsement that let her open the door of the car, step out, and instruct her driver to return in an hour unless otherwise called. That she was genuinely a representative of Trident utterly unrelated to Oracle gave her the nerve to ring the bell. Everything else was pure determination. After all there was no reason for her to be intimidated. She was, in a matter of speaking, home.

"I think it would be better that way. I can't imagine it would go over particularly well if I outright said 'hi, I'm the daughter of Dr. Doom and the Scarlet Witch and I'm here to stop a guy carrying a virus that will exterminate the mutant race'."

"I wouldn't be the craziest thing we've heard. See also: my daughter." Boy, that had not been fun explaining to May. Though that future had been avoided. He thought. He shrugged to himself and got to his feet.

"But best not mention being a kid of Dr. Doom. The last one we had around is not welcome until he gets his ego in check and learns the fundamentals of trying not to kill his teammates through incompetence." Big green had less inhibitions on his mouth than he normally did. He would reveal his mother's secret recipe for chocolate chip charcoal is asked. He did take a step or two to switch out a tray for one heaped with pizza pasta.

"It's a little unsettling for me that there is a Dr. Doom child in this world that is so incompetent that he nearly kills teammates. Are you sure this person is a Doom?"

[lil_hulk]

"Well Doomspawn is from another dimension. Not sure what Dr. Doom was like on whatever world of origin for Vinnie." Which also could explain why Jay was almost X-Men like in his acceptance of 'hey I'm from another dimension.' He settled back down at the table with his heaping tray. He carefully dug in.

"I don't think the bad Doctor has any biological kids in this dimension. Or if he does, I was sleeping during that tidbit of info being passed around."

"Dr. Doom is generally himself wherever he is found. I imagine that that isn't particularly encouraging for you, but I suppose I have a little familial need to stand up for the man. I have half of his DNA and he did make me a pretty impressive DoomBunny when I was a kid."

[lil_hulk]

The heavily pizza pasta laden serving spoon hovered halfway between the tray and Jay's mouth. He blinked a couple times.

"... DoomBunny? With sharp, pointy teeth?"

[alegacyofchaos]

"No! No, not with pointy teeth at all. A DoomBunny is a mechanical bunny toy. Like a robot, really. It was even pink."
