The Numberless Agent

To anyone who has not debriefed or made an appointment to debrief with S.H.I.E.L.D., please do so A.S.A.P. I, for one, would like to put this whole time travel thing to bed already.

Also, a brief summary of notable incidents worldwide that occurred during the absence of most of the world's heroes is available to those who are interested here. (Please Note: you'll need to log into the S.H.I.E.L.D. server to access it.)

I'm taking a long weekend for my and Dane's birthdays the holiday. I'm signing off after my in house shift tomorrow at HQ and will be back for a late shift on Wednesday (04/27).

I'll still be plugged in but don't expect any answers to texts or emails unless they're marked URGENT. (And by "URGENT" I mean "end of the world" type stuff.)

Cheers.

Has anyone heard anything from Ms. Marvel? She said she was going to church on St. Patrick's Day and never returned...

ETA: And I've just been informed Thor hasn't been seen for a couple days, either. What the hell is going on here? So if you've hear from him, please let me know, as well.

Fuck, I'm tired of playing liaison to both teams. I can't be on two coasts at once! And I don't seem to be doing a very good job with two members MIA....

[NYC AVENGERS]
I'd like to get your schedules for the holidays ASAP, so I know who's going to be here when. Thanks.


[Private to HAWKEYE]
If there's anything you need or think S.H.I.E.L.D. can help you with and you don't feel like going through your wife, I'm available.


[Private]
What they're saying about Fury-- I don't understand. It's not possible. He's not-- I mean, he wouldn't....

Not for the reasons S.H.I.E.L.D. seems convinced of, anyway.

Fury's always been straight with me, that much I know. And I just can't believe-- I won't believe this.

It's just not possible. I hope.

Back from Boston. Such a fucking weird trip. Did I miss anything interesting?


[Private to WASP]
I spoke with FAO Schwarz on behalf of the Avengers and they said they'd be glad to match all purchases made for donation. Ask for the manager, Ms. Barstoli, when you go and she'll have someone accompany you to keep track. They also offered free next day delivery to Avenger's Mansion.

Any word on possible new costume ideas?

Just a head's up-- I'm heading off for Thanksgiving weekend on Thursday morning. Yes, I realise I'm British. Should be back sometime on Sunday. I'll have my cell and comm on me if anything comes up. (And, as I'm only going to Boston, it wouldn't be hard to get back quickly.)

Hope everyone has a nice holiday. Cheers.

Seems the time is nigh. I'm off to Malibu to help 19 with her mission against Monica Rappacini and AIM.

[Private to FURY + CAP]
Unless there's some dire reason I'm needed here? Let me know ASAP, please, as I'm planning to be in California by tonight.

[Private to NYC Avengers]
Be prepared to schedule those evaluations when I get back, please. Also, if anyone wants an idea of what to expect, you're welcome to observe me when I go.
[/End Private]

Fair warning: communications may be spotty and I'm not sure how long I'll be gone.

Take care all.

For those who are interested, there's leftover Halloween candy in the kitchen. Take as little or much as you like. Anything left at the end of next week will get tossed, though-- I don't want us attracting ants like I did in my apartment last year.

Also, a number of pictures of people and pets in Avengers Halloween costumes have showed up in the mail the last few days, so I stuck a few on the bulletin board. Baby Hulk! Kindergarten Thor with Inflatable Hammer! Crocodile Iron Man! The rest are in a manila envelope on the desk below for anyone interested. Be warned, though-- a few are, um... on the risqué side of things. Or just gross.

On the business side of things, I'd like to evaluate everyone's hand to hand and weapons skills over the next few weeks. S.H.I.E.L.D. wants us to be prepared in case something affects our abilities/powers again.

I'm not expecting the evals to take more than 2-3 hours, so it'd be great if everyone could schedule a 3 hour block with me at their earliest convenience. And, should I be called out to join Mockingbird, either Cap or someone from S.H.I.E.L.D. will take over.

Thanks all.

[Private to CAP]
Cap, if you'd like to participate in the evaluation process, please let me know. The mandate was given to me but, as the leader and a soldier, your input is more than welcome.

And, regardless, I'll need you to evaluate me-- with Jan if you'd like, since she is your second-in-command, or another S.H.I.E.L.D. agent if you prefer a more neutral party.

Anyway, just let me know what you'd like. I really don't want to step on any toes here; I just want to know where the team's at. And, if anyone isn't up to par, help get them there.


[Private to WASP]
I know I don't have the right but I need to ask you a favor. My costume is just-- terrible. I know it is. And Lil was saying things about teenaged boys that make me cringe. But it's all I've got and I'm no fashionista. Which you know.

So... would you maybe be willing to help me figure out some kind of redesign or something? Please? Jean-Paul thought you would be; I'm not convinced. I just don't know what to do here.



(OOC: text was typed then deleted)

Is anyone interested in participating in the New York Village Halloween Parade with me? I'd do it alone, but I'm not an Avenger that draws much attention...



OOC: strike was typed then deleted

I'm on call to join Agent 19 and some of the WCA on a mission to recapture Monica Rappaccini, so I may pop out for a bit anytime now. I'll try to give notice if I can.

[Private to FURY]
Assuming there isn't any dire reason you need me here.
[/End Private]

[Private to NORTHSTAR]
Jean-Paul, I am in serious need of a new uniform. Do you think Janet would be willing to help me in that department?
[/End Private]

Cheers.
