Two weeks after the Inhuman/Kree visit to Earth...
[Avengers Mansion]
Hawkeye and Songbird were having a discussion that had somehow ended up involving the Puppet Master and some of his past schemes, within earshot of Captain America and the newly arrived Vision. Vision had just finished a video message from Scarlet Witch apologizing because she didn't know he had gone to the East Coast when she had agreed to help She-Hulk and Iron Man with the newly formed European branch of the Avengers. It ended with Wanda promising to contact him as soon as she could, but Tigra had said they had to get going. Just then, Jarvis entered with a cordless phone and offered it to Cap, “It's for you, sir,”with a confused look on his face.
Meanwhile, in another room of the mansion, Wolverine caught a familiar scent on the breeze blowing into the room while Tally watched the television. Though Logan couldn't see anyone, Tally could see someone looking in at her from the side of the window.
Having slipped through the Avenger's defenses either undetected or at least not setting off any alarms, Laura had managed to find Tally after some tracking. As X-23 looked in, she discovered her luck as her enhanced senses led her to the right window first.
[Parker Residence]
A little late getting home from a dull day at the Bugle, Peter heard Mary Jane clear her throat. When he turned, she had a puzzled look on her face and asked,”Something you would like to tell me, Peter?” she was holding a copy of the National Exposure tabloid. The cover had the headline was “Spiderman's Latest Lover? Who Is She?”and beneath it was a picture from the fiasco at the Stark fundraiser, with Spiderman standing embracing a silver skinned woman, who he recognized at Tabitha.
MJ was clearly not impressed.
[Law Offices of Nelson and Murdock]
While sitting reviewing some transcripts of one of his cases before calling it a day, Matt heard the front door open. The footsteps that entered light and close together, and mixed with a perfume he had smelled before but couldn't place, he knew there was a woman out front.
Then he heard Foggy greet the other person, his tone betraying it was definitely a woman,” Uh hello. Can I help you ?”
The woman's voice replied, “I think so, I got a call from your office, but I don't understand it. You have a package for me to pick up? For Tabitha Pryde?”
“Oh yeah,” Foggy replied,”just give me a moment. That was me that called, let me go get it.”

Captain America picks up the phone. "Hello, this is Captain America speaking. How may I help you?"

Tally still unhappy at the actions that transpired actually does her best to ignore the window as it is probably another person come to stare at her blue flesh and how she was cast out. As such she decides to focus on the show on the tv, THE MYTHBUSTERS.

Vision deactivates the video message. Then he begins to access the case files to familiarize himself with the Avengers's recent missions. In passing, he looks up the status and current location of the individual Avengers. His attention does not linger any longer on Wonder Man's status than on any other Avenger's.

X-23 knocks lightly on the window just load enough to get Tally's attention;
Why are my father and Tally watching television together she thinks to herself and well I'm at it why was it so easy to sneak into the avengers mansion
Prowl 45+5/level [dice=100]
"Tally!" Laura tries to summon her friend [rand=5885060029465565018341771276782385494521057307543905080256429363]

DD hears the voice and recognizes the name immediately. He gets up and makes his way to the door from his office to the front room, "Ms. Pryde, is that you?"

Tally faintly hearing her name being called turns and sees X23 and floods with emotions. Still suffering the abandonment issues from before, instead of heading to the window gets up and runs partially with tears to find Tabitha.

Peter puts his bag down on the ground and takes the paper and inspects it. "You know I've only got eyes for you, hun." Peter tries to give MJ a peck on the cheek before heading into the kitchen and looking in the fridge. "That was just a hug to make sure that she wasn't going to smash me into paste. Did you know that she's Colossus and Shadowcat's daughter from another dimension?" He comes out of the fridge with the makings of a quick sandwich. "Crazy, huh?"

[Avenger Mansion]
Vision easily found the records he was looking for as he perused the computer files. He found his teammates were scattered across the globe with a few notable exceptions thanks to the new European team being formed. He was also close enough to Cap to overhear both ends of the phone conversation.
"Wow, so prim and proper even on the phone. Listen, I've got a riddle for you?" Hawkeye said to Cap over the phone," Can you explain why Nathaniel Essex would be coming out of a hobby shop? And no, I haven't done anything stupid and I'm pretty sure he hasn't seen me." Even as he listened, Cap was facing Hawkeye and Songbird.
* * * * *
As she started to bolt, Tally suddenly remember that Tabitha had said she was going out for a bit, giving her no one to run to at the moment. This left Logan and Laura looking at each other while the mythbusters were shooting a bowling ball cannon on the television.
[Law Offices of Nelson and Murdock]
Tabitha turned at her name being called, somewhat caught off guard. " Oh, hi Mr. Murdock. " Matt could hear her pulse quicken even as she forced a slight chuckle," Guess I should have known when I read the sign outside. I uh,... I meant to look you up after things went a little nutty at that benefit. Sorry." She swallowed hard, sounding a little nervous.
Foggy cleared his throat as he returned, and Matt knew the tone as yet again Matt got the interest of a lady that entered their office, " Here it is, Miss Pryde. Just need you to sign this release. We don't get much pro bono work from Russia." Matt could hear his grin.
" I bet." Tabitha replied, puzzled. She sounded almost like a goofy teen when she asked," Uh, Mr. Murdock,would you like to grab a coffee or something sometime?"
[Parker residence]
Mary Jane clearly didn't know whether to laugh or scowl," Peter Parker, I'm serious here. How can you make up a foolish answer like that?" She folded her arms. "And what are you doing? Did you forget we're supposed to be going to your aunt's for supper tonight?" She shook her head. " At least explain to me why another dimension's X-men kid would be either hugging you or trying to squish you? It makes my head hurt just trying to make any sense out of that."
The phone rang and MJ answered it, immediately holding it away from her ear. Peter could hear JJ as she frowned," It's for you."

Still sitting at the computer, Vision keys in an alert to assemble the Avengers, broadcasting so that those members who are present in this room will not receive it. He is aware that if there are more imposters than Hawkeye, this will warn them, but in his analysis the benefits outweigh the risks.
After sending the alert, he rises from the station as nonchalantly as he is able to, in order to put himself into a better attack position in case something happens.

While MJ is headed for the phone, Peter says quickly "We both know that you don't have nearly enough time for that story."
Ugh...Jameson? I just finished with Jameson! Before taking the phone, Peter says sweetly "Thanks, babe." Putting the phone to his ear, he says "Peter Parker, Photographer Extraordinare" and waits for the onslaught (No, not that one).

Captain America takes a moment to ponder, then seeing Vision take action. "That's certainly something isn't it. Is this going to be like that thing at Bucky's?" He asks, trying to confirm if it's the other Hawkeye he met.

"Steve, did you wap yourself in the head with your shield? Bucky's been dead since the Big One. And I'm not old enough to remember him, unlike certain people I know. Look, the only reason I'm using a payphone is because I don't want to be noticed. Look, get the others together and I'm gonna follow to see what he's up to. Bring my bow, would you?"
again, Vision could listen in easily. Songbird and Hawkeye both looked at him watching them. Melissa asked curiously," Vision, is something wrong? You're looking at us like you're trying to see through us."
[Parker Residence]
"Why am I seeing this photo of Spiderman on the cover of the competitiion and not in the Bugle, Parr-kurr?" JJ demanded as Peter answered. " That's the sort of pictures you're supposed to be bringing me!"
MJ chuckled as she walked away, muttering so only Peter could here," Maybe I should get a silver bodysuit and see if you can hug me like that." She looked at him with a grin that gave away the whole thing had been an act and that she was merely teasing. She tossed the paper in the recycling bin and headed off to get ready to go out.

"Of course Hawkeye. We'll get there right away - just don't give yourself away." Cap hangs up, and nods at Vision, realizing that he's caught on. "Songbird, gather the rest of the team. We'll need to mobilize quickly."

"Forgive my rudeness, Songbird. I am merely processing some data. As it happens, one of the files that I have just reviewed is that of the Thunderbolts. I have never been with the Avengers when they encountered your team. I was wondering if you would provide some more... personal insights into the team. At your convenience, of course."
Vision looks at Captain America. He knows that Cap is quite aware that Vision, too, has encountered the Thunderbolts, and that the real Hawkeye and Songbird would both know this as well.
