Gabby starts munching on popcorn with a chuckle. "Thanks Captain Obvious." she jokes back at F.R.I.D.A.Y. She keeps eating as the others talk. Hearing Steve tell them to suit up, Gabby puts the bowl of popcorn down and then disappears for a few minutes before reappearing in her uniform. "Ready!" Gabby eats a bit more popcorn, loading up on carbs before they head out.

"You're welcome Gabby." F.R.I.D.A.Y answered cheerfully, not catching the sarcasm. "Blink, I have never seen Mr. Stark leave presents without taking credit."
With the look, Clint held up his hands, "No harm no foul, right?" He smiled.
Tabitha scowled, "You know, I've been told I hold grudges like the rest of my father's side of the family." She winked.
Clint's smile faded as Tabitha walked back to her room. "Does she really?" He asked
Erik patted Clint's shoulder, "Maybe you should call Tony, see if he has a spot on his team for a while." He then followed Tabitha.
"That's not reassuring Erik." Clint grumbled as he went back to his room.

Other than Clint's stash, Blink did not find much selection in the armoury, and even those seemed to be the less exotic varieties.

As the team reassembled in Dr. Foster's lab, the resident scientist was seated at computer console. " Jarvis didn't catch much, but I found this."
Bill brought a replay up on the big screen, which showed the kitchen. "I had to slow it down to really catch them." The video showed a black puff of smoke much like Nightcrawler created, before four half sized figures appeared and began raiding the fridge and cupboards.
"Looks like you need a new bottle of whisky Logan." Erik stated as one of the figures drank from an obvious bottle. Thirty seconds and the kitchen raid was over, followed shortly after by Gabby entering the kitchen to make popcorn.
"So it wasn't Kurt." Tabitha sounded relieved. "Good."
"Instead it's a handful of miniature versions of him? Not sure that's better." Erik grumbled. "Please tell me this isn't something new from Mojo."
"They would still be here if that was the case." Bill pointed out. "These guys went room to room and left, so looking for something or someone."

Cap looked to the others. "I've never encountered creatures like this - what are they? What could they want?" He scanned the various team members. "Do we have any idea why they would come here?"

"No idea. And got more bottles, one isn't bad."

After suiting up she takes a look at the quivers in Hawk-eye's stash and snags one. Oooh this will be fun. she thinks. then heads to meet the others.
"We are the Avengers with some X-men. Could this be some sort of inter-dimensional tour set up by Mojo?" she half-Jokes, "I would say we should ask a certain fuzzy elf if we can get him to be still." Blink adds looking through the quiver she grabbed, "Hey Hawk, are all your arrow quivers standard? asking for a friend?"

"Let's hope not," he says to Blink. "Mojo's...bad news. Worse news out there, but bad's just as much trouble."

"If it is not Mojo we need to get one of the lil'Crawlers. We have multiple Night crawlers that leaves cloning or someone from Kurt's past. Did he serve on any other teams with Dimensional foes, that he was involved with or that can clone? on my earth we had Sinister and Dark Beast were big on clones." she asks.
Another reality would have been likely flagged by the avenger and Time Broker. Though another reality incursion was not off the table, just seemed unlikely until there was evidence of it.

“First you raid Tony’s spare armor, now it’s my arrows? What happened to you throwing blade knife pin things?” Clint asked.
Tabitha looked at Logan, “ So l whoever it is checked us out and then went to the X Men next, where would the next stop be? I’m going to guess they will be gone by the time we get to their school like Robert asked.”
“I have a suggestion, Captain.” Bill Foster spoke up. “ Last I heard, Kurt is with Excalibur, so that would be your best bet to figure out miniature versions of him.”

Cap nodded at Bill's assessment. "Thank you, Dr. Foster. Excalibur is still located on their island headquarters? Or did they relocate to Muir Island?"

Gabby continues to eat her popcorn as she listens to the conversation going on around her. In truth, she wasn't quite sure what was going on though it seemed like they were going on a trip to visit with Nightcrawler and Excalibur. A thought occurs to her and she thinks to F.R.I.D.A.Y. 'Ready for a trip?'

"Stark let me and Gabby use those suits and the world is still here. Though when Gabby pulled the Hulk buster out I was kind of worried for the west coast. I have a brace 6 of the pins on each leg for back up and close quarters." she replies. in truth she knew she would need to adapt her weapons and Hawk-Eye was a good person to learn from.
"So which one is the Boxing glove and the exploding arrows? Seriously though, I think I am ready for the trick arrows. Still need to practice swordsmanship and verbal burns 101 though." she says with a more serious focus. Then returns to the mission at hand. Being around people like Gabby and the others Blink learned she prove herself.
"So who exactly is on the Excalibur Roster? so I don't use a sweet boxing glove arrow on one of them by accident?" she grins at Hawk-Eye innocently for a second.
"Do I teleport or are going via Quinjet?" she asked checking bow and quiver.

"Best bet, yeah, Excalibur and talk to Kurt," he says to Blink and Tabitha after hearing the others. "Blink, we'll take a quinjet unless you can cover that distance with so many in one go?"

"We might be good using a quinjet. I have teleported to the moon once. That kind of jump is taxing and requires a whole lot of faith or me seeing the destination. Besides The Quinjet has a working comm system and a medical pod if we need help. All I can do is yell really loud." she responds looking at the arrows one at a time carefully "If you do want me to try i can though because I did send Gravitron out the moon on the west coast much easier."

"Last I had heard there were complications that kept them from relocating to Muir Island." Bill replied. "I can confirm while you go get into your work clothes. " He said with a snicker as he looked around at the collection of sleepwear. "Do you want me to contact Melissa and Simon? They are due back in the morning, so I can reroute them to meet you there."
FRIDAY's perky voice replied quickly. "Always! Let's go play.!"
Clint sighed, "The Avengers only need one archer."
"Hey Clint, how's Kate making out?" Eric chirped.
"You're not helping , Wish version Pym." Clint snarked
Bill Foster chuckled, "Ouch."
Clint continued. "Yes they are standard load, but the selector is keyed to my DNA and the identification is a tactile, so they all look the same. I'll try to teach you on the flight."
"Not sure if it has switched up, but besides Kurt, Excalibur is a five member team." Bill replied to Felicia. " Besides The Braddocks, they have Meggan, Sage and Pete Wisdom on the team."
"Wisdom? Really?" Tabitha sighed. "Please tell me here he's not a creepy charmer that you can only trust as far as you can throw him."

"I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Agent Wisdom, so I can't say." Captain America tries to bring the group into focus. "Alright, Avengers. Get suited up and to the hangar - we're off in 20."
I've encountered Captain Britain only a handful of times, and never had much of a chance to assess him. It takes a certain type of individual to take on the mantle of your flag; certainly both James and Brian Falsworth were great men when they took on the title of Union Jack. Joey Chapman's done well in the role since he was given the title. I know them, but not this Braddock - why is that? Is it possible that my association with the Falsworth family has created some kind of political situation? Perhaps it's just some sort of etiquette. I'll need to amend that.
The Sentinel of Liberty quickly changed into his full uniform, and for a moment, looked at his mobile phone. It's still very early - too early to call Felicia. This still shouldn't take long, and hopefully I'll be back soon. Spider-Man - Peter - has implied that she has secrets I should know. She should probably know mine, at this point though, shouldn't she? Or will I let my life as Captain America ruin another relationship? I know that no matter how I approach telling her the truth, it will have an impact. With Bernie, I revealed it after we had dated, and Rachel knew me as Cap before I even started dating her as Steve. There's probably no right answer, and no guarantees, but I should finally be honest with her if I want a future. And hopefully, she'll feel the same.
