" - Quick question, are you two related? Sue and Nausicaa."

Permalink

"Nope."

Permalink

"You guys just - look a lot alike."

Permalink

"Maybe spooks will try to claim we're cousins or something for the PR."

Permalink

"Could be."

Permalink

"I don't really like lying to the public like that though..."

Permalink

"Trying to get a good public reputation... It's a lot of maneuvering, and some of it's pretty dramatically stretching the truth. But it's for a good cause."

Permalink

"Always is," he says, not quite sarcastically.

Permalink

"I trust our government's judgement."

Permalink

"Not gonna argue that." At least not in front of government cameras. She's not stupid. "But it's normal to not like all the publicity stuff. Movie stars talk about it all the time, and their whole job is being in front of a camera."

Permalink

"I guess so, yeah..."

Permalink

"The whole idea of celebrity's pretty weird to me, too," Teddy volunteers. "Thought I was a normal kid until recently."

Permalink

"I grew up with it - but, yeah, most people don't..."

Permalink

"I always knew I had something weird going on, but - yeah, mostly grew up normal. Out of the spotlight and all that."

Permalink

"Knew my family had supers in it, but... Wouldn't call us celebrities or anything."

Permalink

She nods, and glances at Sue and Marian.

Permalink

Sue just stares blandly back.

Permalink

Marian shrugs. "I knew about Nausicaa's power, and I've always been in the spotlight a little for being smart, but I'm the token normal, here."

Permalink

She nods.

"Are we doing much more than a meet and greet, here?"

Permalink

"I think just that, until someone comes back to brief us."

Permalink

"Well, I'm all out of generic introductions."

There's nods all around.

Permalink

And so they're left to wait.

Not for long, though. The Vision returns shortly thereafter, not so fast to make it blatant they were being watched, but not a long enough time for them to get really bored.

"Everyone all settled?" he asks.

Permalink

"Yeah!"

Permalink

"Got introduced, at least."

Permalink

"Good." He folds his hands behind his back. "You six will form the core of the Young Avengers Initiative. Superheroes, accountable to the government - and through them, the public. A team meant solely and wholly to defend Earth and America from exceptional threats, especially on the galactic stage. You'll be using code names, and your real names will be concealed at a minimum until you are legally adults."
