[It's only video cuz she turned her webcam on entirely, rather than just the microphone.] Ohhh, is this why the school suddenly ramped up the call for X-Teams? We're gonna fight SHIELD? [Nora, you sound excited. Why.]

.... Aww, but I wanted to meet the Avengers, not fight them.

You - you think we're actually gonna end up fighting 'em?

[not_together_together]

Well I mean... unless it's a coincidence that we just did all that combat training and now Mr. Fury gets on every single tv and computer here and tells us we're still holding Miss Renko!

Who knows, maybe Professor X does intend to give her over~! It'd probably be the best thing to do.

[realmenknitplushies]

Does seem like a hell of a coincidence, huh.

[Frankly, he's still a spot confused about this whole damn situation...]

[not_together_together]

It does~. I mean, I'm ready to take 'em on if I have to, but I'd kind of rather not! They seem a lot more dangerous than just the Friends of Humanity or whatever. Those guys were... pfff, nothing. The military's a whooooooole different story.

[realmenknitplushies]

Yeah. Same. It ain't just a bunch'f mooks with a cause... these are trained soldiers...

I actually think it's more 'cause there's always somebody knocking at our gates to start something? Not usually S.H.I.E.L.D., though.

...As mega-fine as Captain America is, I seriously don't wanna meet any of them like that. I bet the Professor won't let it get that far!

Video

[not_together_together]

Yeaaaaah... I don't think my dad would like it if I got so in trouble with SHIELD. But I dunno, the timing seems really, really convenient for all the X-Teams and stuff. Ooo, I wonder if all of this is just an expanded training exercise! ... Naw. [It's an idle thought though.]

And you're a Cap person? I'm a Thor gal, myself~.

Video

[niepokonany]

I'm not actually sure "convenient" is the word I'd use for anything about this?

[He grins a bit at that, though.]

Thor's got great arms and all, but like, the whole sweet, blue-eyed boy-next-door thing? Can't compete with that.

[Or with dat booty, for that matter.]

[not_together_together]

No? Well I mean, yeah the X-Team thing could be a coincidence, but it wasn't until after the X-Day riots that the call really started to go out to form up the new X-Teams and start in with the training, and now we've got the training exercises, and all that jazz, so if it's not just conveniently timed then it isn't, but I dunno, and isn't suspicious that Professor X hasn't been up to say anything yet? I feel like it's kind of suspicious we haven't heard anything from him or Professor Munroe or any of the older X-Men or senior staff or people that would know what's going on, or even Miss Renko herself!

[And it's not like she forgot what he said about their chosen Avengers...]

Ooo, and, yeah, I guess he does have that going for him. I dunno, Thor's just so big, and mighty, and powerful, and his hammer's really cool, and he's got the lightning ability, and the whole Asgard thing and...

... I'm probably also kinda biased, my great-grandparents were from Norway. [VIKIIIINGS]

[stillinthedark]

At least you'll get to meet Thor...?

[He's trying to be positive here, okay?]

Video

[not_together_together]

... Ssssoooomehow I don't think Magnhild would be able to stand up to Mjolnir, though.

Video

[stillinthedark]

[Is he on video? He doesn't even know Nora can see him as he partakes in a soda he snatched from the kitchen.]

Dunno if Thor would be that mean to use Mjolnir on a student. But man it would be an epic battle.

[not_together_together]

[Congrats, you turned on a webcam. Enjoy your soda, Eddie.]

I hope not. It looks like it hurts to get hit by. [And that's coming from someone that can take a hell of a punch.] But... I wanna meet them, and I wanna see them fight, but not like this!

[psykick]

You don't really think it'll come to do that, do you Nora?

[Because going up against schoolmates is one thing. But going up against the Avengers? That is something completely different.]

[not_together_together]

It's like I said, though, the timing is really coincidental. I mean, yeah, people attack here and Professor X sends the X-Teams out to do stuff every so often anyway, but... I dunno. I mean... he is psychic! [She still sounds excited.] But the military's kinda a different beast than some radicals with guns.

[psykick]

The timing is rather odd. I'd rather not fight them though... They've usually been friendly with the Professor before, right?

[At least, that's how it seemed to Rinka. Which makes this whole switch all the more confusing.]

[not_together_together]

I think? I dunno. They seem like they would be! But we do have someone they want so... I'm preeeetty sure they'll stop being so friendly if Professor X won't let Renko go. Um... or maybe she'll turn herself in! I'm not sure... I'm not one of the psychic ones.

[video]

[no_girl]

Wait, why would the Avengers show up?

[video]

[not_together_together]

Isn't that usually what they send after people who can do stuff above and beyond what the average populace can do? I mean we've got people with psychic abilities and eye lasers and teleportation and super strength and that can transform into big ol' dragons and stuff, even if there are trained soldiers... which would not be fun to fight, I don't think... we've still got all that on our side and they have... uh. A lot of really high tech hardware, I guess.

Re: [video]

[no_girl]

Fair point, but that's also really bad PR, and the Avengers have enough trouble with that based on property damage alone. No, when SHIELD wants something shady done, like raiding a school full of super-powered minors? They're doing it on their own.

[video]

[not_together_together]

You don't think there'd be a ton of property damage here, anyway? I mean...

... I have a grenade launcher. And they have never said a thing about that. [And she'd use it if she had to.] It wouldn't be a quiet thing, either way, I don't think. But I guess I can try to relax! I wanna meet Thor! ... But not like this.

[video]

[soccerwhisperer]

H--Hey now, it shouldn't have to become Avengers vs X-Men!

[Yeah, look what happened with A-Babies vs X-Babies]

[video]

[not_together_together]

No, it shouldn't haaaave to, but I mean... we did just do all those training exercises, so it's not like I'd be surprised if it came down to it~. I'm just suspicious of the timing and all.

[But she's talked to another few people and seen why this might not be what's going to happen just yet. Actually, she's pretty sure there's gonna be another thing that happens.

When Renko gets turned over, it's going to cause problems and that is when the X-Teams are going to be called out into the field.]

[video]

[soccerwhisperer]

I'm... I'm sure it's just a co... [Give him a moment to literally look up a Japanese-English dictionary] coincidence...

[video]

[not_together_together]

Prooooobably, but I mean... it is one heck of a coincidence! I think they're getting us ready for something, though! I'd bet on it!
