The Human Torch and Iron Man were both unconscious. The Wasp was outside, back in the main area, babysitting the upset Princess Anelle. The Invisible Woman had found a spot to sit and was taking some deep breaths, her pregnancy wasn't feeling all that great at the moment, although she wasn't due to get into labor just yet. It wasn't anything to worry over. [color=9e0039]"Richards, what's the status on Stark?"[/color] Black Widow asked. [color=#76D7C4]"And then, to repeat Agent Flynn's question - where the hell are we?"[/color] Hill then asked. She knew that Mister Fantastic was one of the brightest minds in the world, if anyone present (and conscious) could figure out where they were and how to fly a spaceship, it was him. Although from what she remembered reading in the files, Captain Marvel wasn't a stranger to aliens either. [color=57A2EC]"Tony's fine, he'll live,"[/color] the Invisible Woman answered, as her husband was engrossed in thought, looking at the machines and the displays and whatnot. [color=275572]"We're orbiting Saturn, placing us approximately 1.2 billion kilometers from Earth. At the speed the Cassini probe travels at, this would place our return to Earth as occurring in eight years. We can then postulate that the skrulls either can greatly exceed this speed or that we were placed in stasis during transit,"[/color] Richards explained. [color=275572]"I find the latter to be unlikely, given that I have already managed to significantly outpace the probe's speed, and that a species capable of warfare in space would likely not place their prison station eight years from the military engagement. Ergo, if I can learn this alien system of travel, I estimate that we should return to Earth in less than one year. I would further guess this travel time is less than one month, but my knowledge of military strategy is lacking for suitable analysis."[/color] [color=F86A6A]"These ships travel faster than the speed of light,"[/color] Captain Marvel answered. She walked up to one of the displays, before punching in a series of coordinates. [color=F86A6A]"I'm a spacer, this is kind of my thing,"[/color] she said with a smirk, before the stars around them seemed to blur into lines as they jumped into hyperspace! [color=F86A6A]"We'll return to Earth in four days."[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][color=84B4E2][b] May 18th, 2021[/b][/color][/h3][hr][hr][h3][color=84B4E2][b]Clint Barton's Homestead - Missouri: 8:40 A.M.[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][hr] Bonnie couldn't help but feel a little bad having lied to Cass - but she didn't regret her decision. She wasn't ready to talk about it with someone else just yet. She still didn't understand it herself and she needed the time to process it on her own. Even though it had happened back in February, she hadn't had much downtime to really look into it - all of her time was spent at S.H.I.E.L.D. working to protect the world, particularly from M-Pox. "Please, call me T'Challa - there is no need to be so formal," Black Panther insisted. He didn't mind his title being used when he was acting as the king of Wakanda, but here he was acting as the Black Panther for the sake of the world at large. He frowned slightly as Oliver debriefed them all on the situation. He was familiar with the upcoming UN summit. While Wakanda was not part of the United Nations, preferring to remain isolated and closed off, he kept himself appraised of worldly affairs. "An attack at the UN Summit will cause a global incident whose ramifications we cannot predict," T'Challa commented sagely. "How do you propose we make our stand?" "There'll be security all over the place - CIA, KGB, MI6, you name it," Agent 13 then chimed in. "It'll be impossible to send a large group in, even more impossible to have the Avengers show up. You're all too recognizable. Rogers can't walk down the street without getting recognized, and Spider-Man is a national treasure." [color=4C52FF]"I know it won't be easy, but we need to get this done - it isn't just our country at stake, the entire world is looking at us,"[/color] Captain America argued. [color=4C52FF]"If we send in a smaller team, they could flush out the skrulls, and drive them towards us away from the civilians."[/color] Bonnie tapped her fingers on the table slightly, as the plan was beginning to click into place in her mind. They had another resource present they hadn't talked about - a world leader was seated at their table. Wakanda wasn't part of the United Nations, but the USA was. [color=f6989d]"We could use the President and disguise ourselves as Secret Service,"[/color] she suggested. [color=f6989d]"Captain America will go to the White House to meet with the skrull president, we come in as Secret Service, we quietly take out the Secret Service in the oval office and we seamlessly replace them. Meanwhile, someone else wipes the security footage so we were never there. The President and us then travel to Geneva for the convention."[/color] [color=gray]"I can handle the security footage,"[/color] Fury volunteered. [color=gray]"Take Goose with you. He can sniff out skrulls. And no one suspects a cat."[/color] Raynor's eyes were narrowed. He wasn't a huge fan of this plan, namely since Sparky was very pregnant and the White House was going to be filled with angry people with guns. He'd much rather leave her here on Barton's secret farm until everything was over, but he wasn't even going to bother trying to argue the point with her. He knew that she would just zap him and do it anyways, and he didn't want to admit it, but he still didn't feel completely 100% just yet. [color=d86615]"Great, a spy mission, at least we won't have you trying to kill us, huh Barnes?"[/color] Raynor asked. Bucky just stared at him. "You realize how creepy it is when you do that, right?" Sam pointed out. "It's just his vibe," Spider-Man commented with a shrug. "He just be like that." Amelia was [i]very[/i] excited about all of this. Sure, she knew it would have been logical to be a bit nervous or apprehensive, but it wasn't every day they got to secretly sneak the President back into the White House and get rid of an imposter with Captain America and the Falcon! She wasn't always the best at stealth, mainly because she liked to scream and cheer and everything, but she figured she could manage it. She'd figure it out, right? She was even practicing right now, staying silent and vibrating with the urge to blab out a million questions and then some. [color=7851A9]"My old team can handle the job,"[/color] Hawkeye said, more or less reassuring the Avengers that the agents were capable. [color=7851A9]"...You guys can go five minutes without screaming at each other still, right?"[/color] he then followed up. [hider=Skrull Testing]Everyone was cleared over the timeskip. Hooray! ... Except for Nick Fury. He has only been cleared by Goose. [/hider]
