(Daredevil)
Matt Murdock arrives at the law offices of Murdock and Nelson. Foggy Nelson, his partner and best friend smirks at him. "Left you your paper and mail next to the coffee and bearclaw on your desk. I know you slept in. Another rough night?"
Matt catches a strange scent mixed in with all the noise coming from his desk.
(Gambit and anyone who went with him to the X-mansion)
Gambit finds the mansion empty, with most of the X-Men on various missions - primarily to recruit new students and tend to other emerging mutant issues. After a night's rest, they are free to spend the day as they like.
(Aura, Spider-Man and anyone who went to Avengers mansion instead)
After arriving discretely at the mansion, you are in the main lobby. Cap is outside in the middle of a press conference. Jarvis, the kindly buttler arrives. "May I get you tea, coffee or some other refreshments?" he offers.

Tally looks at the person making the offer. "I am ok Mr. Person. I am not sure about that guy over there." She points to the other person she has never met, namely spider man.

Spider-Man looks at Tally and decides to have some fun with her. "Didn't your mother tell you that pointing is rude?" He turns to Jarvis and says "I'll take a Coke please? Oh, and pardon me... Do you have any Grey Poupon?" He snickers to himself momentarily before saying "But seriously. I would web the heck out of someone for a Coke. The HECK."

I would web the heck out of someone for a Coke. The HECK. OOC: Expecting money for that one? Gambit lazed around the X-Mansion, enjoying the independence of getting his own coke and not waiting for someone to bring it back. Not knowing, or overly concerned with, the whereabouts of any guests (did anyone stay at the school?), Gambit sat and watched the news. Popping the top on his cool refreshing, sugary, beverage, he sat on the couch. |

"You have no idea. Vacation cut short."
As he nears his desk DD picks up the new smell and tries to determine what it is.

(Daredevil) You recognize the sent of cherry blossoms and Jasmine as you find an envelope that is from Japan from a Shiro Yoshida... (Gambit) There's the news conference that Captain America is giving, and there's a new message on the mansions computers... (Spider-Man and Aura)  "I am Edwin Jarvis, young lady. I have been proud to serve the Avengers as their buttler and confidante and aide since there inception. So feel free to ask for anything and it shall be provided in an effective and quick manner." He smiles to help make the young lady more comfortable before turning to Spider-Man. "While I do not advise such a beverage at this early hour, one can be provided for you if you so ins-" "Here ya go, Web-fer-brains." A bottle of coke soars through the air at Spider-Man as Hawkeye strides into the room and flops on the couch with a glass of orange juice. He opens a bag of chips and offers them to Tally. "Want some? The show's about to start." He smiles as he turns on the TV to the press conference, a gleeful smile on his face. |

Tally Actually hears what Jarvis says but is more focused on what the man in the mask said which makes her very angry and upset. "No thank-you Mr. Arrow shooting man. I do not eat and am not very hungry." One could tell she is not fully paying attention and noticeably upset. Especially after what Spider man had just said. She tries to remain to watch what Hawkeye put on but in the end she can not hold her emotions in and turns and floats out, only taking a moment to glare at Spiderman on the way out!

Tally walks into the hall to find a woman with strange hair in front of her.  (Looks exactly like this except there's an Avengers-style "A" logo on her belt instead of the Thunderbolt) "I see Hawkeye's working his usual charm. My name's Melissa. Cap told me about you." She tries to smile. "I'm sorry, he can be abrassive, particularly when he's around certain people. Would you like to talk to someone?" Another individual rushes down the hall hollering. "This is an outrage! an Absolute Outrage!"  "All these new so-called Avengers have not met with Comission Approval! I absolutely will not let this stand! I don't care what kind of clout Captain America thinks he has but -" A giant pink muzzle forms over the man's face. Melissa puts a finger to her lips. "Sorry, conference is starting, Mr. Gyrich. Maybe you should watch and learn something." (ON the TV screens) Captain America smiles at the throng of reporters outside. "Yes, yes we are in the process of forming a new team after considerable amount of time restructuring and re-organizing. The final roster has not been completely confirmed, so I can't give you much more than that, but you can ask some questions if you like. Yes, you." He points to balding pudgy man with the Daily Bugle's familiar logo on his press badge. "Can you confirm that known fugitive vigilantes Daredevil and Spider-Man were on the scene of yesterday's altercation? There's even cellphone footage of him giving out the Avengers Battlecry! Are dangerous lunatics such as this being considered for Avengers Membership?" Cap never breaks stride as he responds. "As the roster hasn't been finalized, I can't comment on that except to say two things. The first is to say that the Avengers are always there to provide second chances to people who wish to make lasting positive contributions and have successfully done so since our earliest days. The notion of giving people a clean slate with which to build a better and more prosperous future is not only a central tennant of this organization, but also for the country which I am proud to call my home." There are a few cheers and claps even amongst the crowd of cynical reporters before the Daily Bugle reporter responds. "And the second part?" "We will be vetting all candidates, regardless of background, with our joint liason to the United Nations and the Commission of Superhuman Affairs, Colonel James Rhodes." Cap motions to the bottom of the podium as the uniformed officer takes the stage and waves to the crowd.  "As a long-standing member of the military and liason to Stark Industries, Colonel Rhodes brings years of experience and dedicated professionalism as our new liason. We will all be well served by this upstanding member of the Armed Forces, and we are honored by his service." "The feeling's mutual." Camera flashes flare as the two salute and shake hands. |

Having no idea who the person is in front of her Tally latches on and hugs her while crying. Her only response is "uh-huh!" She remains silent only so everyone can watch the TV broadcast before she continues on.(Or if she is pulled aside she will talk then as she really does not care about the broadcast outcome regardless of who is on it.) "It is just that, that," *sniff, sniff* "He has no emotion. I mean I have never even met my parents. I don't think they even know that I exist. And he does not seem to care in the least! I mean I have no friends here, my only friend has vanished. It is just so sucky!"

Gambit lets out a scoffish laugh at the screen. "The man knows media." he concedes.
Getting up, he heads over and looks at what the computers are saying.

DD lifts the envelope and opening it up he traces his hands over the page so that he can "read" the letter.

(Gambit plus any other players with him at the X-mansion) You see this man  You recongize him as Shiro Yoshida - the Japanese mutant known as Sunfire whom has been a sometime ally of the X-Men. The last time you saw him, it was when you, he and Wolverine fought a bunch of Hand Ninjas and Wolverine's bethroed, Mariko Yashida (Shiro's cousin) died. Most of the message is in Japanese, but there is a sense of urgency and a rare humility in his voice - in your experience he's been as haughty as Magneto on his best day. The message ends in English however. "Please Logan-san, come quickly." (Daredevil) The message reads as: "Mr. Murdock, I am writing this letter on behalf of the government of Japan to ask you with discretion to contact your clients, the Fantastic Four, and urge them to come to Tokyo in a discreet manner on a matter of great importance. I cannot understate the urgency of this request, nor of the need for a subtle and slight hand. In my research of you, I have found you to be a commendable individual capable of this task and urge you to do as requested immediately." (Aura and Spider-Man) At first reluctant, Melissa returns the hug. "It's ok. It's ok. I'll be your friend, don't worry." She smiles warmly. "I'm Melissa, but they call me Songbird. And Hawkeye will warm up to you, as will the others - we just all need some time to get to know each other, ok?" Lost in thought, the pink muzzle vanishes from Gyrich's face, as he looks dumbfounded at the screen. "I'm...I've been replaced?" His tinted glasses slip down his nose, revealing his shocked eyes. Hawkeye walks out smirking, as he takes a photo of the man. "Ah, that's my new desktop theme. Well, Henry Peter Gyrich, I can't say it's been good seeing you, but I appreciated that it was a short visit." as he pushes up Gyrich's glasses. Hawkeye turns to Tally and Songbird. "Hey Mel!" He picks up the slight pink haired girl, taking time to stare at the logo on her belt. "Looks like you finally made it kiddo - knew you had it in you to class up an operation like this." "Easy 'Coach'!" Melissa smiles as Hawkeye sets her down. "You just want to show off with Cap. You're so predictable." "Be that as it may-" Songbird turns to Tally. "Tally? This is Hawkeye, but when we're around the mansion, you can call him Clint." Hawkeye takes a bow. "Clint Barton" as he removes his mask to reveal his messy blonde hair. "Pleasure to meet you, and I'm sorry if I riled you up earlier, I can make it up to you." he pulls out an arrow, waving it in front of Tally. "Now you see it." He puts his hand on the arrow, and with dramatic flourish, he moves and the arrow is replaced with a white rose. "Now you don't. Friends?" He offers Tally the flower. Spider-Man, your cellphone vibrates. When you check you have 3 new voice messages. The press conference continues, with Cap fielding and batting questions on whom is part of the new team and who isn't - mostly being non-commital on the subject. |

Tally gives a smile to Hawkeye and takes the flower. "No Mr. Barton. It was not you it was that guy over there that guy in the red and blue costume that made a comment about my mother. I have never met my mother and he was really, really rude! And yes we can be friends!" She wipes the remnants of any tears on her sleeve. She also acts as if sniffing the flower and wishes she had a sense of smell, but such are the side effects of not actually needing to breathe.
She gives Melissa one more hug. "Thank-you very much. I should not of gotten upset, it is just my parental issue is kinda a sore spot."

"Tokyo, huh?" He leaves the message unread for Wolverine or Xavier or someone else to find. As an added measure, he leaves the following note:
"Gone to Tokyo. Taken the jet. Don't wait up."

While writing the note, a flash of light was followed by a familiar voice. " Darn. Heather said it would..., never mind. Told you I'd be back, Remy. Where is everyone?" She glanced around as the Tallus' portal closed behind her.
