+1 Squirrel Girl (Set after the meeting with the Green)

[unbeatablesg]

[After the meeting, Doreen decides it's a good idea to introduce herself. She can't do it during the meeting, especially after she showed up five minutes late with coffee, and leaving until any later it would end up being kind of awkward.

So, shortly after everything is over and done with and the campers are back in Rivendell, a woman with a squirrel tail and a squirrel with a pink bow both pop up on the mirrors ]

Hey guys, gals, and anyone who doesn't conform to a gender binary!

So that was all super intense, and most of you probably didn't even notice me popping in the back like 5 minutes in? Or maybe you did and were wondering who the girl with tthe awesome squirrel tail and the actual squirrel was but didn't think it was the right time to ask.

Most because it kinda wasn't?

Either way, hi! [Doreen waves.] I'm Doreen Green, aka The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, and this is my pal Tippy-Toe. We're superheroes. No secret identity or anything, 'cause I got outed a little while back. I mostly just keep the codename for branding and to enforce a healthy work-life balance.

Also because it's awesome.

In case you're wondering, I've got the proportional abilities of a squirrel. Plus I can communicate with squirrels. Which I personally think is pretty cool.

I think that covers everything that's relevant right now, but if you've got any questions, or just wanna say hi, go head. I'm not gonna stop you.

[Guess they'll be instituting a new group rule about not chasing squirrels.]

Hi Doreen. Have you confirmed that you still have the powers you're familiar with at the same levels as you expect them to be? Because the Green has altered most of us - either to suppress our abilities, give us new ones, or both.

[slowmotionbuscrash]

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl? I've never heard anybody call you that.

[unbeatablesg]

I think I might be a little weaker and slower than normal?

Also I don't have my knuckle spikes, but that's not a big deal? I don't use really use those most of the time. I don't really have a lot of reasons to stab people, and even if I did using bits of retractable bone to do it is usually a big no-no for anybody who doesn't have, like, a Wolverine-level immune system.

[unsealthecatbox]

How did you stay hidden as a superhero when you have a squirrel tail out in the open like that?

['Tactfulness' is a myth for Ange Ushiromiya, apparently]

[unbeatablesg]

Lots of people do. I beat up Thanos on two separate occasions. You sort of get a reputation after that.

[unbeatablesg]

I hid it in my pants? Fur compacts down pretty easily, so it just looked like I had an awesome butt. Which, y'know, bonus.

[slowmotionbuscrash]

You beat up Thanos? By yourself?

He’s like an Avengers plus Fantastic Four threat. Did he have the space flu?

[unsealthecatbox]

..........

[Ange seems skeptical, if the way she stares at the mirror is any indication. Surely it can't have been that easy! People aren't the sort to be fooled, and there are a million situations where a tail can slip out. Can it have been that easy?

Well, that probably is irrelevant, she figures. Oh well]

If you say so. Was being outed a good thing for you?

[She remembers hearing a mirror broadcast from Miles asking for advice about keeping secrets, so she has to wonder this!]

[unbeatablesg]

The first time he was using this pyramid thing-

<The Pyramatrix!>

Right, the Pyramatrix, thanks Tippy. Anyways, he was using to empower himself by draining everybody on Earth's life force, so when me and Tippy blew it up the feedback weakened him to the point where taking him down was pretty easy.

The second time? I stole his glove and punched him in face with it. There's actually a photo of that one.

[unbeatablesg]

It could've been a lot worse? I could've done without all the bad guys I beat up coming after me for revenge, but that's mostly been dealt with and as a bonus I don't have to hide who I am anymore.

Plus, if anyone tries to get revenge again, all my friends either have superpowers or live with someone who does. And my parents live in Canada and have a version of Tommy's grandfather in the form of a giant oak tree with laser eyes living in their backyard, so all in all things should be fine.

[credit_not_blame]

Okay, as long as you've noticed! The last thing any of us wants is for someone to get hurt because they can't do what they're expecting to be able to do.

I'm Stacia. I'm a werewolf, but not the kind that's contagious by bite. Have you met the Easter Bunny yet?

[slowmotionbuscrash]

What do you mean there’s a version of my grandfather living as a tree in Canada in your grandparents front yard? With laser eyes?? Magneto’s on Krakoa.

[ Anyone paying attention at the meeting would have heard Gaia confirm that Krakoa was one of them, so that’s a really weird sentence. ]

[unbeatablesg]

Why would Magneto be living in my parents backyard? I meant Ultron.

[kingofneworleans]

Bonjour, Mademoiselle Green. An' Tippy-Toe.

[Remy's sitting in one of the gardens, getting a little distance from...everybody. The meeting had been rather fraught. And while his empathic abilities may not be very STRONG, but that doesn't mean being trapped in a small area with a lot of angry people was pleasant in the least.]

Arrived at an interestin' time.

[unbeatablesg]

Oh hey Gambit!

[She'd never met him personally, but the X-Men were all over the place now thanks to Krakoa.]

Yeah, kinda nuts would be an understatement, even if it is one of my go-to puns.

[slowmotionbuscrash]

Because Magneto’s my grandfather, not Ultron? I think Billy was pulling your leg. Didn’t know he had it in him.

[kingofneworleans]

[He's been outed as a member of the X-Men for years now, since Charlie went public with the school. So he simply tips his head in acknowledgement.]

I certainly ain't disagreein'. An' I'm sayin' dat as a man who has been runnin' 'round in de Ot'erworld entirely too much lately.

[unbeatablesg]

Yeah, on your mom's side. But since Ultron built Vision, and Vision's your father, that would make Ultron your grandfather.

[unbeatablesg]

No way, the actual Easter Bunny? I mean, I saw the giant rabbit, he was hard to miss, but I didn't think he was the Easter Bunny.

That is so cool!

[slowmotionbuscrash]

That’s not how it works.

[ Wait. ]

Is that actually how it works? You build your own baby?

[ Isn’t that exactly what Wanda did?

Tommy gets as pale as his hair. That’s exactly what Wanda did. ]

Oh my god both of my grandfathers dabble in villainy.

[unbeatablesg]

Sorry. I kind of thought you already knew?

If it helps any, Oak Tree Ultron is actually a really good guy and stopped a bunch of frost giants from taking over my parents town when they invaded Canada?

[unbeatablesg]

And I'm saying it as a girl who's clone started a squirrel utopia in the Negative Zone.

Oh! Speaking of clones, I haven't talked to Laura and Gabby for a bit. How are they and Jonathan settling in on Krakoa?

[kingofneworleans]

[He opens his mouth for a moment, because they WEREN'T talking about clones, but she mentions his favorite clones, so he decides to let it go.]

Dey're doin' good. Dey're makin' frien's wit' deir brother an', last I heard, Jonathan was settlin' in fine. Can't brin' 'im out to de Lighthouse 'cause de cats ain't really fans of his.

[unbeatablesg]

I'd say sorry about the trouble, but I found him being experimented on in a lab, so I'm not actually sorry about the trouble.

[kingofneworleans]

[Remy waves a hand at that.]

Ain't no trouble. Pro'ly best to keep 'im 'way from de portal to Avalon, anyway. No tellin' what he could turn into dere.
