So did you guys nap through all of that or what?? Nevermind don't bother answering I know you old fogies like your naps so I'll break it down for you:

• little girl kidnapped


• potential hostage situation


• no demands made yet but who knows how long that's gonna last


• and before you ask i've checked the whole island twice and nada

So maybe it's a little bit low on the threat scale but so what? We could do this in our sleep, so what the hell are we waiting for?

Little girl needs us. Ready whenever you are. Seen Billy lately?

[gottagofast]

No but I bet he's moping somewhere close by. So????

[hawkingbird]

Got any ideas where we should start? Any place on the island you could have missed?

[gottagofast]

No can do. Checked the whole island top to bottom and there's nothing plus the DVR I made of the hostage video's totally blank so we can't get any clues from that.

Aren't you gonna say it??

Avengers... assemble.

[hawkingbird]

God, where is Billy? I feel so silly saying this when it's just us two.

[gottagofast]

Wow that was great Hawkeye but I feel like I am going to need a little more "oomph" to get into it you know like I just can't feel pumped up when you say it like that.

Should I get him? You guys could choreograph a little dance if it makes you more comfortable.

If you want in on this rescue, trust me, it's not just the two of you.

And it sounds like you could use a mission briefing and a chance to connect with the team co-ordinating the rescue.

[gottagofast]

Whoa hey excuse you but this is a private party I'm going to have to see your invitation

Besides, already talked to the "official" team, they don't want our help so we're going to have to go rogue.

[detectivewonder]

If Seta and his team don't want you along, there's probably a good reason. They've never failed to bring the kidnapping victims back; they've got this skills, the seniority, and the solid judgment.

But that doesn't mean you can't be briefed ans standing by as backup.

I'm Red Robin. Sorry to butt in, but charging in blind on this one is a bad idea. If Stark and Rogers were leading a team in without a briefing, I'd be telling them the same thing.

[gottagofast]

That so? Scuse me but where do you fit in, Red? Are you like the mastermind behind the scenes making sure everything goes along swimmingly or something?

If you've got the info we need we won't say no to it, but there's bad deeds being done and kids suffering for it and Stark and Rogers and their team are having a tea party. We're going in whether they want us or not.

Just think of me as sort of a knock-off version of the Oracle of Delphi. I make it my business to see everything and know everything. And even here, I'm pretty good at it.

Speaking of Stark and Rogers, tell me something I don't know. Why are there two separate groups called the Avengers?
