One of the brightest flames of the Marvel Universe is gone, snuffed out by a wave of billions of insectiod invaders. He died to save the Earth from this Annihilation Wave and the loss is still felt acutely. The Human Torch, Jonathan Spencer Storm is dead...or is he?

When Val finds out about her uncle Johnny's death she is going to grieve for a bit but then go proactive and save him. After all what use are powers than can move you through time and space if you don't use them once in a while? But she's a smart girl. She knows she'll need some help, which she will find in the form of Ult. Ben Grimm (who I will bring in from his future when he is human shaped again). Still two against billions isn't very good odds. Good thing there's Milliways.

Basic plan is a simple snatch and grab. Fly in, or teleport in as the case may be, get to Johnny, teleport out.

The environment is the Negative Zone, which operates under it's own set of physics. Basically imagine space with an atmosphere and a little more gravity. The insectiod invaders are lead by Annihilus but are not his power level. The species varies depending on function (like Bees) and so there can be all sorts of different threats; from hulking and super strong to thin and fast. More about them here (in case you didn't click the Annihilation Wave link).

Weapons can be provided for those who need them. Val has a lot of Reed Richards, Doctor Doom and other Marvel tech schematics in her databases. Armor can be provided as well and at this point I'm imagining it will be something like Halo armor (with less enhanced reflexes and strength) if you wish your pup to get some. Other wise it can just be defensive with some means of maneuvering in a near zero-g atmosphere.

I would like about 5-6 people which we can split into teams by time zone and availability. I am in the Pacific and most reliably on during the day. I can not be on AIM reliably so would prefer any planning to be do via an LJ entry or emails as is preferred. That being said if the evening group wants to get together and do an AIM while they smash bugs, feel free. Just try to keep me in the loop via a summery email or lj comment.

I don't imagine this taking long as it is so simple a plot but these things can take a life of their own.

Sounds interesting? Leave a comment.

ETA: A basic, rough draft timeline for this; which will likely start the end of this week or beginning of next (Italicized items are meta, i.e. stuff I need to write):
1- I write and post an OOM dealing with the events of Johnny's death from 616 Ben's POV. Ben stops by briefly to leave a note for Val and a recording of the events as he's in no emotional state to really process his feeling (Gotta stay strong for the kids. Sorry I can't be there for yah Val). The recording happens to have a time stamp and from her armor's database, Val knows teh location of the N-Zone portal.
2- Val comes in and gets the note. Grieves for a bit, then decides to do something about it. At this time I'd bring Ult. Ben in from his future to meet Val (who will look like his Sue to him) and he ends up volunteering to help.
3- Start Pre-thread Snatch and Grab OOM in Val's journal so we can get the ball rolling.
4- Val posts a 'help wanted' sign or some such to get more help. Depending on who volunteers, she then is seen at the forge making weapons and armor as needed.
5- Post Snatch and Grab OOM upon completion. Post party's return to Milliways.

I'm glad to offer one of mine for help with this though at this point I'm not sure which pup. My first instinct is Sameth but he's still in plot but will be out soon.

Well this is likely to get started at the end of this week or next week as I need to bring Val back, write up Johnny's death from Ben's POV, have Val react and bring Ult. Ben in (out of his present time) to meet Val.

ETA: If you want to bring Sam in we can add some equipment failure to the mix to give him a chance to shine.

Sam does know how to fight, he's trained as a swordsman, he's just better with things. *nods*

I know what I need to do to bring him back though he might be a little wary of the premise. His family after all is about not bringing the dead back. The other good one of mine for fights is Will.

Well Val's argument would be that they aren't bringing him back from the dead, their rescuing him before he dies. But I defer to your judgement of your pup. There is no body after all. = ]

Will did occur to me as a possible. Is he okay with guns? They'd likely be energy weapons but Val could make trick arrows (ala Hawkeye) for him if he'd prefer. In fact she already has designs she made for Kate ages ago.

That could be an interesting discussion between Val and Sam.

Will's good with guns, he's been in worlds where has to fight with them but he's most comfortable with arrows or swords.

That should work as I need to do Sameth's stuff for plot but he'll be glad to help out Val.

Got it.

I think I can volunteer Ellen for this. She doesn't like messing around with the time stream, or even talking to people from/about their futures, but there's always the ever-popular loophole of 'they were pulled out of the timestream and AS FAR AS ANYONE KNOWS they're dead'. So that's okay.

Your are now receiving both an enthusiastic Janet van Dyne and a far more dubious mun. We really are not online at the same times, alas.

I've actually at least one other who is most often on at night and funny enough she's an Avenger. In other words, we have sensational She-Hulk on board!

On the one hand, tempting. On the other, he just got through with the hot dogs...

It wouldn't really be up until later this week or next. However I do hope to do pre-threading so we don't bog down pup lives.

How about let's see how many other volunteers you get. He's really not supposed to go adventuring in other 'verses without permission (not that he always listens).

Date: 2011-09-13 07:46 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] spooky-lemur.livejournal.com
Okay well looks like I have six now but if you decide you would like to have Enzo join in the fun I feel we can squeeze him in. Other wise he can help Val plan or give emotional support. = ]

Oh, why not. He can't let Dot know, she would never permit it ever in a million cycles, but he is a teenager with a shiny new forcefield, which is to say, he is obviously invincible.

Count Jen in. She won't need no stinking armor either!

I was going to say the following: proofing your comments before posting is a wonderful thing. How do you sue an icon? Hilarious typo.
