Looks like there's something going around. I don't know if it's contagious or not, that's a job for the doctors and scientists among us, but seems like we'll all do better if we stay in touch.

Does everyone have someone who'll come looking if they go radio silent? If not, let me know. I'll keep eyes out. Maybe they'll even be my own.

Good to know. I'm guessing there's still a learning curve--no manual included?

(private)

[oorah]

no manual just a brief descrip for each. i know animal transformation, strength and healing factor all work as described. the animal one is tricky tho bc everyones is different and you don't know til you try.

Re: (private)

[tothefly]

I've seen a few internet quizzes for that one. What did you end up turning into?

(private)

[oorah]

coyote. you think you'd be a spider?

Re: (private)

[tothefly]

That would be interesting. But no, a cat, I think. One of the bigger ones. What do you think?

(private)

[oorah]

i can see it. hey.

what if everyone got a healing factor out of the machine? idk if it works retroactively. [ but it's worth a shot right? ]

Re: (private)

[tothefly]

It's worth a shot. I'll mention it to Bruce.

[oorah]

thanks. did he tell you i used to be a mayor?

[ he usually wouldn't volunteer this info but tony and bruce already know so it follows they might tell nat. and even if they didn't, she's a spy, she can keep a secret. it's already the worst kept secret in the village anyway. ]

Re: (private)

[tothefly]

[Bruce isn't the type to share other people's personal details, and even if Tony is the two of them aren't exactly on gossiping terms. Either way, it's news to her, but she can connect the dots.]

He didn't. Was that at the last one of these places you were stuck in?

(private)

[oorah]

i think you'd notice if i were the mayor of new york.

[ that's a yes. he pushes on. ]

point is i know a lot about keeping one of these places running. i'm happy to pick up the slack.

[ as long as he's not doing absolutely everything again. and as long as no one gives him too much credit. ]

[tothefly]

You never really know, with New York politics.

I'm not really a local politics kind of girl, but some things should be planned for. I'd appreciate any advice you have to spare. Tony's doing what he can, and what he does, but he can't do it all.

[And shouldn't, but that goes without saying.]

(private)

[oorah]

point.

you think i am? it was kind of a fluke, but stark knows i'll help where it's needed. as long as he takes all the credit.

Re: (private)

[tothefly]

You don't have to ask him twice.

(private)

[oorah]

kind of why he was the ideal choice

Re: (private)

[tothefly]

I don't think anyone has ever said that about Tony before.

(private)

[oorah]

there are worse things than a guy who knows his worth.

Re: (private)

[tothefly]

That's one way to put it

I hear there's talk about building watchtowers, too. I might see if we can get Rogers in on this, too. It'll do him some good to get out of the house for a while.

(private)

[oorah]

is that where he's been hiding?

Re: (private)

[tothefly]

He would say he hasn't been hiding. But yeah. There or on walks, I think.

(private)

[oorah]

[ a likely story. he has a better gossip question though. ]

i never got the chance to ask: are you two a thing?

Re: (private)

[tothefly]

[Okay, even she's faintly caught off-guard by that one.]

What, Steve and I?

[Do you really think he'd be moping around like that if they were, Frank, look at her.]

(private)

[oorah]

just wondering

[ they always looked cozy on those news reels that's all he's saying! ]

Re: (private)

[tothefly]

[Ahahaha. Note to self, tell Steve. This is going to provide hours of entertainment.]

You know a lady never kisses and tells.

[oorah]

it was worth a shot.
