Where True Strength Lies

A MCU RP between myself and monettes.

I will be Raven, Laura and Steve.

Monettes will be Logan, Charles and Natasha.


Alright so the general gist is we'll be writing two timelines in one RP, one set in Logan's 2029 and the other set in 2013, following the events in New York City.

Logan, Laura, Raven and Charles will be trying to tackle Transigen while on the road, on the run, in hiding, what have you. Likely the timeline to get Laura to the border crossing could be extended, as well as pushing the death of Xavier back, likely due to Raven's addition to the team, we could likely start with her revealing her form post fight with Transigen while on the road.

And Natasha and Steve will be taking assignments from SHIELD to help take down various threats, often working undercover both nationally and internationally. Their first target would take them to Detroit to uncover the working of biological warfare being shipped both domestically and internationally.


We hadn't yet talked about general post sizes. Did you have a general range you were looking to hit?

Anywhere between four - eight paragraphs per character suits me. Does that work for you?

That totally works for me!

So in terms of starting things off for them (I probably could try to swing an intro tonight or tomorrow after I finish packing) I foresee Raven having revealed herself as Gabriela during the fight but they never had a chance to talk during the chaos as they were trying to escape.

And with Nat and Steve, should they be briefed on the mission? We may need to figure out those details, unless that was something you wanted to explore organically?

EDIT - I'm crashing, I'll try to hop on tomorrow when I can!

Perfect. Tomorrow would be lovely for an intro, but take your time.

I think that's the easiest place to pick up with Raven and Logan. He's processed the initial shock of seeing her, but it's still incredibly tense - especially given the fact that he and Charles are still travelling with Laura, and they're still recovering from the fight. (I'm just excited to see these two interact, tbh.)

A briefing sounds good, or we could start with their flight to Detroit? If the company funding the weaponry is owned by someone wealthy then they could slip in through his/her social circles, or pose as potential partners / a couple interested in getting involved.

Finally have time to myself, not sure if I can get an intro up (I assumed I'd have the morning but I slept in and didn't get started on packing until a bit later which was an over-estimation of how much I had to pack haha) but I will work on it in Google Docs probably during my layover in Hong Kong since I've got three hours to kill there, assuming their airport offers free wifi. XD

Did you get a chance to give Logan a re-watch? I'm probably gonna do that when I get settled in. Though I'll be honest, I didn't like the B&W as much as the color since I felt a lot of details were lost. :/

What sort of cover did we want to give Natasha and Steve in terms of how they'd be starting their inside investigation? I probably won't be able to finish my intro without some of that. Do we assume they would pose as prospective buyers? So yeah I think maybe business partners? I think we'd have another chance to let them pose as say husband/wife/etc probably during another case? We could go the route with one of them being an assistant or secretary, depending which dynamic we wanted to try out, might yield interesting results.

Only if you feel like it! There should be free wifi in the airport, though. Whether it works or not…

I did! I'm happy to pick up where we suggested, after Mystique's revealed herself. The B&W didn't do much for me, I'll admit, but I didn't dislike it.

Let's set them up as business partners. I think it would be less noticeable is Nat posed as the assistant, and it would create an interesting power dynamic. She's not used to not being in control-- even when she has a background role, or is laying low.

Urgh packing is quite the pain, trying to balance each suitcase. Urgh math.

I did enjoy the gas station scene so so much, so it'll be interesting to see if we can recapture the magic. I think at the end of my intro, I'll lead us into that. Since we are using a telepath like Charles, should we try to use [i]'thoughts'[/u]?

Yeah, I like the idea of giving her a secretary role since like you said, it's not common for her be in such. Plus while I see Steve as a leader, I think with Nat, he'd be more comfortable letting her take the lead but of course SHIELD would have other plans.

Finally done packing though, two 50 lbs bags. God almighty...

Oh no. Literally the worst part of travelling.

I 100% have faith in us. Maybe if we kept the 'thoughts' to brief flickers? One or two lines when it feels necessary?

It sounds like we're sorted, then!

Oof. Good luck!

Worked on the post during my layover so I hope it's alright. Ironically I got to watch Logan again while on the plane (plus like 5 other movies I hadn't seen). I may be on later "tonight (for me)" and then tomorrow. There's no wifi at my training so I have to go out and sit somewhere like at McDs or a cafe to get it. Bleh.

You still with me? If the intro was too much, I understand. I just needed to set up where we are at present but posts don't have to be that long if that was something that was an issue for you. I am settled now so I should be much more active again.
