Okay, short post up. Oh, and I only used the character title images in my intro post since I'll also be writing NPCs and stuff, but everyone else can use them or not use them, I am cool either way.

“It is quite odd that they have normal hinged doors on a spaceship, isn’t it?” Loki wondered out loud after they were done using the washrooms. “Anyway, I agree with Iron Lad, we need to focus on our escape.”
When Billy gave his hero name, Teddy decided to do the same. “I also go by Kid Hulk, but you might not be able to tell because… Oh shit…” He looked down and realized his skin was green, meaning his glamour ring was failing. But a second later, the illusion was restored again. Then it began to come and go in quick succession, and he looked over to see Loki’s cloaked bag was flickering in and out of sight as well. “Odd.”
“Yup,” America responded to Terra’s question about being on a spaceship, raising her hand. Teddy focused back on the group and raised his hand as well.
The group realized they could feel their strength returning, and then an alarm started blaring and the computerized voice returned over the intercom. “Warning! Warning! Malfunction detected in Central Power Dampener!”
“Shit, now’s your chance!” America cried out, realizing they had some of their powers back, yet she still could not summon her portals. “You all have to get out of here! Speed, I’m assuming you’re a speedster, right? Quick! Scope out the vessel and see if there are any escape pods! I still can’t seem to open portals, but you all can still get away!”
“What about you?” Loki inquired.
“I’m not going anywhere. I intend to face the Beyonder head on! Now hurry!”

So we're just waiting on Sanity and Martian. I am going to throw in another tiny post though while we wait.
Am I allowed to give Kijani her go-bag? Contents are a full change of clothes, some money from her America, water, non-perishable snacks, cell phone, and as many stacks of paper as she could shove into it.
Yeah, I think you mentioned her grabbing stuff in her intro post, so you can say it was strapped to her when she was shoved in the cryopod. However, any electronics they have might not work properly after being frozen and thawed out. Then again, if it didn't damage human flesh, perhaps it's designed to not damage tech either. Yeah, let's go with that. Anything they had with them inside the pods is still fully functional.
Just did a quick little post for a little flirt with Billy XD.
“Um… I don’t know, I think the swim trunks suit you better.” Billy’s face turned bright red. “Oh my gosh, that was so cringe. I’m sorry! Um… My name is Billy… Billy Kaplan…” He backed up and nervously shuffled his feet.
Teddy smiled and blushed slightly at the compliment. He was instantly smitten with this gorgeous man standing before him, but didn’t want to lose sight of their current situation. “Well, Billy, maybe that calls for a pool party somewhere once we get out of here.” He winked at him and grinned mischievously.
Sorry everyone, stuff came up, got distracted. Post is up now. It was already getting pretty long so I decided to wait to have Doctor Strange arrive until the next post. This way we can each introduce ourselves to the group within the story and you can each describe how your character/s deal with awakening from cryo and meeting everyone else. Also feel free to do a few quick back and forth posts between each other if you'd like, similar to how my characters were talking amongst themselves.
At a nexus point where dozens of universes converged, a space station sat amidst an asteroid field in orbit around a red sun. Hundreds of vessels were coming and going, mostly manned by Sentinels and collectively housing thousands of crypods from the various worlds where they had been tracking Traveler Scars. Empty ships were heading back out for their next run while others were depositing their pods at the station.
Any prisoners that fell outside the designated age-group were loaded into vessels bound for a place called Battleworld, while the Traveler Candidates were sorted into groups of twelve cryopods in the station’s hangar bay. Each group was moved onto smaller red spaceships, made from the metallic exterior of the dead Celestial, Arishem. These comprised the Inquisitor’s Fleet, and they soon departed the station and headed towards the Inquisitor’s Citadel in the Elsdamorae System of Universe A-109.
When the fleet passed the red planet Kabbayan, they knew it was time to start thawing out the Candidates in preparation for arrival at the Citadel. They had been sorted into groups of twelve to avoid too many of them being conscious at the same time on the same ship, just in case they might find a way to escape. However, one such ship, the Arishem-Exar, had yet to notice a cloaked vessel in hot pursuit…
“Ugh..” Teddy moaned as he placed a hand on his face. His head was killing him, and he was dizzy and disoriented. He opened and closed his eyes repeatedly, but everything was pitch black. He was laying on some kind of padded mat and he could hear faint voices, but it sounded like he was underwater. There was a chill in the air, and he felt weak and shaky. He tried to sit up and slammed his skull against a glass barrier.
“Ow! What the hell?” he started feeling around, and realized he was in some kind of pod. Then he remembered. The Sentinels!
“Hey, can you hear me?” America called out from her pod, having woken first.
“Yes! What’s going on? I can’t see anything!” he replied.
“A side effect of the cryo process!” she explained. “When you first awaken, it takes a minute for your hearing and sight to fully return. I only just regained my own senses.”
“Picked up by the Sentinels as well?” Teddy inquired.
“Yup,” she confirmed.
“Do you know why they want us?” Loki asked, now conscious as well.
“It’s my fault,” America revealed, then looked around to see everyone else waking up in their pods as well. “I’m sorry you all got caught up in this. These Sentinels are after me. They work for someone who calls himself the Beyonder, a being who was trapped in some prison realm and wanted to use me to escape. That’s because of my power - to open portals between universes. But if he was able to put all this together, I’m not sure why he even needs me at this point. All I know is that he is after me, and I allowed myself to get captured in the hopes of getting closer to him so I could send him back to his prison…”
“But none of us look like you,” Teddy pointed out. “We are all wildly different…”
“Isn’t it obvious?” Loki scoffed. “They don’t actually know what she looks like, only that she has a power the Beyonder wants. He probably at least knows that she’s a teenager, judging by the fact that we are all similar in age.”
“Bingo,” America smirked.
Suddenly, the glass lids of the twelve pods swung open upwards, and they could climb out into what appeared to be a cargo bay on the ship. They felt severely lightheaded and could barely stand on their two feet, a feeling that only strengthened if they tried to call upon their powers.
“We will be arriving at the Inquisitor’s Citadel in approximately fifteen minutes, Traveler Candidates,” came a computerized voice over the intercom. “Please use the washrooms located adjacent to your cryogenic stasis pods to clean yourselves up in preparation for your Soulgaze with the Inquisitor.”
“What the hell is a Soulgaze?” Teddy wondered out loud.
“Probably a method to deduce if one has the powers the Beyonder is seeking, I reckon,” added Loki. He then smirked as he realized Teddy was, like him, clad in only a pair of swim trunks. “They grabbed you on the beach as well, then?”
“Yeah, right in the middle of my birthday party!” he replied, chuckling.
“Don’t worry, I have some extra clothing in my Bag of Holding - you can’t see it, it’s cloaked, but it’s strapped to my waist right now.”
“How… How are you keeping it cloaked with the power dampeners?” Teddy was curious.
“The enchantment is built into the material itself, I merely triggered it with a tiny flick of Mana when they were grabbing me,” Loki explained. “Luckily I had just enough energy to pull that off before being captured.”
“Since we are not actively being attacked, we should probably use the opportunity to clean up and use the restroom, like the voice said,” America offered. “I, for one, don’t want to pass up the chance to pee. Then we can regroup and figure out a way to escape.”
“Yeah, you’re right,” Teddy agreed. As they all walked towards the washrooms, they noticed there were twelve of them lined along the wall directly across the cargo bay from where their pods were lined up.
“Oh, how nice of them to give us private facilities after kidnapping us. What lovely twats.”
Once they had a chance to clean up and take care of any needs in the washrooms, they grouped together in front of their pods to discuss methods of escape.
“Your fashion sense is… Well, it’s not really me,” Teddy said as he looked down over the extravagant shirt and pants Loki had given him. “But it beats the swim trunks, so thanks… What was your name?”
“Loki Laufeyson,” he replied. America raised her eyebrows. “What?”
“You’re the first Teen Loki I’ve encountered,” she smirked. “Most of your variants are much older and have a different face. In one universe a Loki became a film actor under the name Tom Hiddleston.”
“Wait, so by ‘portals between universes,’ you meant legitimate parallel timelines?” Teddy asked in shock.
“Yeah, does your world not know about the Multiverse yet?” America shrugged. “There are literally thousands of universes that exist at different vibrational frequencies. Some are nearly identical, while others vary drastically.”
“Wow, this is crazy…” he replied, then shook his head and looked up. “Sorry, we were giving our names, right? I’m Teddy Altman.”
“America Chavez,” she added, then looked at the others, prompting them to give their names as well.

@CaptainManbeard I don't think any of us would complain if you just posted the update and added images after the fact.
I don't actually have the entire post written yet, lol. Some parts of it I wait until I decide upon the images and then use those to help fuel my descriptions XD. Though a few parts I am going to forego images and just write them out how I see them in my head.
Gah finding the right images to embed in posts can be so time consuming, lol. I may just move forward with less images than I was originally planning. Anyway, next post should be along within the next few hours.
