[Video and Private Text]

[Carol's grinning into the camera in the bright noon-day sun]

Hey guy! I was going to announce this last week, but being in high school kinda put a halt on that.

Anyways, now that we're all the right age again I'd like to introduce the island of New Moore to the new Avengers HQ!

[She moves out of the camera frame so it has a shot of the warehouse behind her]

Tada! I know it doesn't look like much, but after some renovations it'll be perfect.

[Carol moves back into the frame, still grinning]

With the new base I'd like to open up the Avengers for new heros. Anyone who's had experience in crime fighting on any level, check with Phil Coulson, Clint Barton, or myself and we'll schedule an evaluation.

[Carol's inside the warehouse now. It's kinda dark and more than a little dirty, and very, very empty]

Okay guys, I can't do this by myself. This base is for all of you, so I'd like a little help sprucing it up. I want to build a loft area at the far end for a lounge area as well as put up a reception room in the front for anyone who needs out help.

Also, it'd be kinda nice if you guys could chip in some money to help me pay for this place. Minus the down payment I owe just around $200,000 on the place.

[Private text to Bro]

So, are we going to talk about what happened last week or are we going to keep pretending it never happened?

You home alone?

[Text; Private]

[brotimaeus]

does it matter?

[Text; Private]

[tookthename]

Matters when I decide how to come in.

[A few minutes later]

And how loud I get to be.

[Text; Private]

[brotimaeus]

i like the way you think.

[Text; Private ->Action]

[tookthename]

One last question.

[There's a tap at Bro's window. Through it Carol asks]

You got protection?

[Action]

[brotimaeus]

[He leans on the windowsill, holding up a flat, square packet between his first and middle finger.]

I never go in without a saddle, babe. That's just askin' for trouble.

[Action]

[tookthename]

Good, because the last thing I need is a baby.

[She floats in and sits on the edge of the bed]

You never did tell me if we're alone or not.

[Action]

[brotimaeus]

[He can't tell you how funny he thinks it is that a baby is your first concern, Carol.]

No, I never did, did I.

[A crooked grin is cast her way.]

You didn't seem so worried about that last week.

[Action]

[tookthename]

I've had 17 years to learn that listening to a roommate have sex makes things awkward for everyone, especially if that roommate is in any way related to you.

[She smirks right back]

Any reason you're still standing over there?

[Action]

[brotimaeus]

I was admirin' the view.

[He tilts his head, letting out a hiss between his teeth.]

This piece of art is wearin' way too many clothes.

[Action]

[tookthename]

Well, maybe the piece of art would like a little help. She didn't come he to do all the work herself.

[Nor did she wear a button-down shirt for nothing.

Oh hey, speaking of somehow the first few buttons come undone and thanks to the most common super power it's a pretty nice view even though it's only a few.]

[Action]

[brotimaeus]

[Well that is a nifty superpower.

And a very nice view.]

Tch... I bet she didn't.

[And with that, he moves over to her, leaning down to press a kiss to her mouth. She came for a good time? Well, he can show her one.]
