If the alien woman could replicate her powers, then she could perfectly mimic Criti Noll - provided that she first made contact with her. Skrulls couldn't absorb everyone's memories and personality traits from afar, it required physical touch. They could shapeshift to mimic someone without the touch, but it was the touch that made their shapeshifting so powerful. "Odds are, Criti Noll would have been on the bridge," she said softly. "You would need to search the bodies for her... Although you wouldn't know who you were looking for so...." Wasp internally winced. To go through with this plan then, they needed to lead a traumatized young woman through the field of corpses and unconscious skrulls, searching their faces for the one they were interested in, forcing her to confront the results of the Avengers actions. Would that be enough to push Princess Anelle over the edge, to have her join the Empress rather than help them out? [color=E8FF00]"Are you going to be okay doing that, Princess?"[/color] the Wasp asked. "...If it saves my people, I would do anything," Anelle said quietly.

The kids looked like there were a few years spread in ages between them all, but the oldest, the girl, couldn't have been older than eight years old or so. [color=7851A9]"Hey rug rats, don't you all have school today?"[/color] "Mommy said classes were canceled because your friends are here!" the little girl chimed in helpfully. "And she said we're your problem since she needed Mommy time," the older of the two boys added. Hawkeye smiled, shaking his head slightly. [color=7851A9]"Oh boy, lucky me. Well! How about we get some breakfast, and then, you can come with us to go pick out some animals, okay?"[/color] Hawkeye asked, as he got up from the table and got some things for his kids ready. The kids got into their seats at the table, looking around the table happily, although they clearly weren't phased by seeing Avengers around. The youngest boy locked eyes with Goose and gasped. "Pussy cat!!!!" he squealed, before jumping onto the table, knocking his bowl of cereal into Captain America's lap, as he tried to grab Goose by the tail. He latched onto Goose and Goose screamed, leaping upwards and latching onto the ceiling rafters with his tentacles. The kids all started screaming - not out of fear, but excitement. "Do it again!!!!!!" Fury was trying not to laugh, but failing. [color=gray]"Look how the mighty flerken has fallen,"[/color] he teased, before getting up. [color=gray]"I'm going to sit out the flerken retrieval mission. I'm too old to go to an animal shelter."[/color] He also didn't want to go with a bunch of hyper screaming little kids who doubtlessly would want to adopt EVERY animal in the place. "Not to worry, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is on the case!" Spider-Man exclaimed. He aimed his right hand upwards, shooting out some webs and launching himself up to the ceiling. He crouched on the rafter next to Goose. "Hey there, Mr. Kitty Cat - or are you a Mrs. Kitty Cat? My name's Spider-Man, you wanna come down for some kitty cat treats?" Goose looked at Spider-Man for a moment, before walking over and sniffing him slightly. After a few moments, the cat started rubbing up against him, since to Goose he was clearly one of the good hoomans. Agent 13 raised an eyebrow. She didn't exactly want to be with the screaming children either, and they still had a lot of unknowns to deal with. "I'm going to see if I can find out anything online about the convention and get us a list of who's attending." She didn't want to wait to get that from the White House. She got up and headed up the stairs to the rooms they had been staying in. [color=4C52FF]"Wow, don't everyone volunteer at once,"[/color] Cap said, shaking his head. [color=4C52FF]"I'm going. Sam, Buck, T'Challa you in?"[/color] "'Course I am, you know I'd never pass up on a chance to pet some dogs," Falcon said with a grin. "I may have a hard time refraining from adopting all of the animals in the shelter... But yes, I would like to go," T'Challa agreed. The Winter Soldier just nodded. [color=d86615]"Sparks, work on the quinjet?"[/color] Raynor suggested. The quinjet had air conditioning. He liked air conditioning. As far as he was aware, Hawkeye's home did not have air conditioning. It was also a little weird to him to see the kids running around - and part of him was a bit jealous, as his own kid hadn't been born yet. Would his kid look at him and the world with such curiosity and joy? Or would they be like him - cruel and angry all the time? [color=FFB795]"Are we going to take a truck or something to the shelter then?"[/color] Amelia asked. Barton nodded. [color=7851A9]"The truck's got room for someone to ride shotgun with me, kids will be in the carseats, the rest of you will have to ride in the truck bed. Once the kids finish breakfast, we can head out - and Spidey, you might want to throw the cat down at some point, I imagine we'll need Goose with us."[/color] Mar-Vell nodded. "Flerkens have an instinctive ability to recognize their own kind." Bonnie nodded, smiling slightly at Sparky. [color=f6989d]"Yeah, of course. I ought to study Niah's prosthetic some and take another look at Cass' wound anyways, make sure everything is healing smoothly. Niah, hun, when you're ready, we can go out to the quinjet and camp out in the medical bay."[/color] [b](Everyone who is going flerken hunting, go get in the truck bed this round!)[/b] [hider=Skrull Testing]Everyone was cleared over the timeskip. Hooray! ... Except for Nick Fury. He has only been cleared by Goose. [/hider]
