Artemis lounged on the sun-warmed stone, her eyes half-closed. Thank God the forest was empty of all but a few birds, as she would never let anyone see her so… unguarded. She always did her best work when she was at peace, a state which was quite rare for her, except for when she was in nature. Sitting up, she removed a small pocketwatch from her jacket. The stupid thing refused to absorb any spells she had cast on it, so she had come to her spot in the woods in hope of figuring out what was going wrong.
"Go for a walk in the woods, he said. It'll be fun, he said." Kiania grumbled to herself as she picked her way through the trees. Normally, she would've loved a walk in the woods, but she had managed to get lost, and wasn't enjoying that bit at all. Pulling her hands from the pockets of her jacket, she nudged some branches out of the way, narrowly avoiding tripping on a tangle of roots.
(Woops. I missed it XD
Eliza was sitting on Aunt May's (she wasnt in Endgame so I'm guessing she us back) roof. That was like her safe spot away from nearly everything. She had her eyes closed against the sun, her face facing it even though she had a mask on. She loved her uniform, inherited from Peter. She had changed it thanks to some tech found in Mr. Starks cabin but not much.
(Gonna post mine later, srry)
Adrik was currently occupying himself by taking a walk through the forest, humming ever so softly to himself as he listened to the soft music playing in one earbud he had in. He didn't like to have both in in case of an emergency, but something relaxing like this at least gave him an opportunity to unwind a tad. He was in his usual sort of street clothes, though he had gone for comfier black sweatpants and a black sweater with white roses all down the sleeves that matched nicely with the white shoes he had on. So far, he hadn't run into anyone yet, though he certainly didn't mind
Adrielle pulled her hood over her face and ducked her head, moving through the crowded streets. She thrummed at anger, seeing the people around her, all happy and content with their lives. It disgusted her. Why did they get a peaceful life, and she was stuck with Captain Fucking Marvel as a mom? Who cared more about complete strangers than her own daughter!
Kerenza was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed under her, flipping through all her fathers buleprints. She sighed sadly, but smiles slightly when she came to a new suit blueprint he had been working on. For Renza is all it said. She sat up, looking st the blueprint. “Dad still finds ways to
Surprise me…” she whispered.
The sound of footsteps crunching through the underbrush made Artemis jump in surprise. Her private spot in the woods was apparently not so private after all. She scrambled behind the boulder she had been sitting on, and clutched the pocketwatch to her chest. She wanted to laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of the situation: one of the most powerful young sorceresses of her age, hiding behind a rock because that stupid watch refused to spell. She peeked around the edge of the stone, and noticed a lone figure.
Eliza jumps to her feet on the roof and watches the woods beyond the city. She leaps off the roof and flicks her wrist. A web flew from from the mechanisms and she zipped off.
She skids on the leaves of the forest as she swings through the trees. Her arms pumping in sync of the web shooting. Her senses immediately pick up on all of the beings inside this forest, "Avengers…?"
Kiania broke free from the trees, momentarily hopeful she'd found a way out, right up until she realized she was only in a clearing. "God dammit." She cursed, slipping into angry Portuguese as she muttered.
Artemis heard the young woman hissing in frustration in a language she didn’t know. She didn’t look ready to hurt anyone, and Artemis knew that a Strange wasn’t supposed to hide. So, she pulled herself together and stood up from her crouch. She stepped out from behind her rock, her watch still held tightly in her hand. “Hello there,” she called.
Kiania's head shot up towards the sound of the voice, her hand flying to hover near the pocket of her jacket warily. "Hello? I didn't realize anyone else was out here." She said, giving the girl a quick once-over, scanning for obvious weapons.
Eliza's webbing was thrown out from her grasp by a miss judged toss and she face plants in the same clearing.
Cursing like a sailor she sat up, coughing, "Danm! Gotta practice that…" she coughs. She didnt notice the other two.
“Neither did I,” Artemis replied wryly. “However, I do believe an exchange of identities is in order.” She stuck out her hand, inviting a handshake. “Artemis Strange.”
Kiania flickered a glance to the girl who'd just fallen into the clearing, before looking back at Artemis. She took her hand with little hesitation, giving it a firm shake. "Call me Blaze."
"Woah! Hoomans!" She looks up to just use her spidey senses. She shakes her head and stands, "Uh… Hey! Do you guys know where…" she pauses, her mask eyes narrowing slightly.
"Karen… They look familiar…" she hisses to the female Jarvis.
"If you're askin' me where we are, I ain't got a clue." Kiania said, shaking her head. Another Spider? How many of those are there, again? She made a mental note to ask her father at some point if he knew.
"No." Eliza quickly covers, "No I was going to ask what is going on. I have been sensing a feeling I've only ever sensed in the Avengers. " She explains then starts, walking up, "Oh… Uh… I'm Eliza Parker." She says, looking almost exactly like her father. Her mask had retracted to show her head/face under the hood
“Artemis Strange. Do you remember me? We met at a charity ball a few years ago, I believe.”
She stares in thought for a moment then nods slowly, "I think so…?" She bites her lip awkwardly.
“I don’t tend to be very memorable anyway, so I don’t blame you. Most of the attention is usually on my father,” Artemis responded, only the barest hint of resentment in her voice.
She fidgets with her hands slightly, "Dr. Strang?" She looks between the two.
“Right in one try. I didn’t get his cheekbones, but I did get his sense of style,” Artemis responded, gesturing to her tunic and cape.
"That's why you looked familiar." Kiania snapped her fingers, pointing at Artemis. "I think I've seen you and your father on TV."
Eliza laughs slightly but her social anxiety was starting to kick in, "Sorry for just barging into your guy's conversation. I was just so confused. "
“We do tend to get a fair amount of media recognition, but Steven protects me from most of it, so I can’t complain. And don’t worry, Eliza, I welcome all forms of social interaction.”
Kiania waved Eliza off, shrugging a shoulder. "You weren't interrupting much, other than introductions."
"Yeah well-." She cuts herself off when she freezes. She looks around and her senses highten
Artemis noticed the shift in the air, and drew a small stick out from her cape. With a flick of her wrist, it snapped out into an impeccably polished quarterstaff.
(oof help, should I have Adrik run into them?)
