Slipstream has posed:
What time is it? It's about nine in the morning currently and Drake is still on the computer now that the Internet has been restored. His room resides on the third floor of the large apartment upscale building, surrounded in posters and trophies from his gaming conquests. He is about hour fifteen into his Overwatch stream as his fingers pound along the keys of the bright green glowing keyboard in front of him, followed by motions of his mouse whipping about the large pad as he uses his hero to hunt down the enemy to capture the point. His stream is on and with fifty thousand viewers currently, all moving at a blistering speed in the chat room as they spam emojis and other wierd one liners to try and grab his attention. Donations are flooding in as well, some upwards into the thousands, happy to see the face of the Overwatch League back online and dominating as always. Near by him floats a golden robot shaped like Snowball from the game. One of Tony's creations. At times, she will scan his body, followed by a robotic noise of thought as she peers over his shoulder.

"Drake! It's my turn to play with Snowball!"

".. She's not a toy, dude. She's my companion for four days while Tony monitors my health."

"I don't care, man! We wanna get some selfies with her."

"Guys, come on, later. I'm in the middle of a game. Don't you guys got ladder climbing to do?"

"Fuck ladder climbing! You got a real life Snowball!"

With a turn of his head, he glances over at the three guys and the lone female peeking into his room, staring wide eyed.

"... You can take one picture with her."

"WOO!" They all scream out as they scramble for their phones.

Thor has posed:
    There's a couple of heavy, and hard knocks on Drake's doorframe, as long ago, Thor learned to not knock on the door directly as he's far more likely to bash the door off the hinges than get the inhabitant's attention. So he knocks beside the door, it's better that way.

    The god of Thunder is standing outside, with a zip up cardigan style sweater over his massive shoulders and yet over his shoulder across his chest and falling under the jacket is a leather strap that holds the sheath of his massive battle axe on his back. Seems he doesn't go anywhere without it these days. Blue jeans finish off his outfit and his blue eyes look down the hallway before looking back at the door and sighs as he waits.

Slipstream has posed:
The loud knocking on the door causes all the heads in the hallway to turn. They could hear that on the third story! "Uh... did someone order a battering ram?" Asks a lanky tall blonde kid with tattoos up and down his arms. "Nope." Says Drake. "Not me. These days my friends just fly up to the window." The girl in the group who goes by Valkerie, with bright pink hair and a punk look to her clothing heads down the elevator after pushing a button and then stepping out into the wide lobby. Once she opens it, her eyes widen at the sight of the large man with the muscles, blue eyes and that hair.

"..... Hi ... "

There is a long, awkward pause now as she just stares at him even longer.

"..... Are you a Thor stunt double? ... or a Thor stripper lookalike?"

Thor has posed:
    Thor looks over to his left and flexes his arms and legs as he twists to look at the young woman, his muscles visible even in the fabric of the sweater. "I am no mere fake. You look upon the one and true son of Odin!" Thor reports with his booming voice and a kindly twinkle in his eye towards the girl before he looks back towards the doorway.

    "I am told this is the residence of one called Darke." He says, getting the name wrong because he is Thor, and that's how he rolls. "Do you know if he is in?"

Slipstream has posed:
".. Okay... I think I'm finally attracted to a guy.." Valkerie responds with slowly as she watches him flex, and then speak in that booming voice.

"Yo, Valk! Who is it?" Comes another male's voice.

"It's Thor from the Avengers, looking for Drake."

"WHAT?! NO FUCKING WAY!" Instead of taking the elevator, there is a loud thumping, followed by the fire doors exploding open to reveal a chubby hispanic boy with bright blue hair and glasses. "Are you serious? That is the real Thor?" He starts to laugh, almost hysterically. "Oh my God, Thor is at our house! GUYS! THOR IS AT OUR HOUSE!" He shouts upwards to the ceiling.

There is a mad scramble up above as now more bodies are seen shoving their way through the stairs and out the door, staring at the God of Thunder with wide eyes, followed by a quick round of pictures being taken. He is soon assaulted by a number of questions, ranging to how old he is, what he likes to eat, which Avenger he is hooking up with, his favorite movie.

Drake is seen heading out the door last as he looks up at the large man with the floating gold robot behind him. He lifts a hand upwards. "Hi there. I'm Drake." He says with an awkward smile as he stares at his fanboying team. "Holy shit guys, you're acting like total idiots."

"Bro, you literally talked about how great Tony smelled yesterday for ten minutes." Valk fires back as Drake waves her off quickly with an embarrassed stare.

Thor has posed:
    Thor takes it in stride as the doors are open, the god crosses his arms before his chest, and sounds of the cardigan straining against his back can be heard with the odd creak and groan from the piece of clothing. The leather strap remains holding his axe to his back and the god doesn't look too pleased as he remains with eyes facing Valkerie as she was the first one to address him.

    "Who of these boys is Darke?" Thor asks his voice almost enough to knock them off their feet and the golden statue is finally spotted. Thor gives a smirk before pointing at the device. "This thing seems like something Stark would do. Tell me, are you the one they call Darke?"

Slipstream has posed:
"I'm Drake, yes. I'm uh... who're you looking for." Drake says as he reaches out to put a hand fondly on top of the floating gold robot that stares at him with little digital hearts in it's eyes. She seems to recognize Thor. "What can I do for you, sir?" He asks politely as he chews on his bottom lip. The rest of his team quiets down at the loud voice of the God, taking a step back, but silently trying to sneak in a few more pictures. Especially Zapp. The young hispanic kid. He looks like he is trying not to break out into tears of joy.

Thor has posed:
    Thor then says something Stark told him to tell every one he's trying to help out in any way. "Come with me if you want to live." And then extends his enormous right hand towards the streamer. The god will then guide the young man outside and towards a ... Quinjet?!

    But can't Thor fly?

    Thor steps up to the back of the plane and bangs on the door frame twice with the bottom part of his fist before the door opens and stepping onto the ships, Thor blocks the entrance to look down at Drake and ask him. "I was told you've become quite powerful, I want you to tell me what it is you can do." The god demands in his powerful voice.

Slipstream has posed:
"Dude... you're going to hold Thor's hand." Zapp breathes out.

"We're not going on a date. Eesh." Drake groans to his best friend before he reaches out and takes the God by the hand as he is led outside to the Quinjet. He gives a wave to his friends for a moment who are all staring outside of the doorframe still. "Powerful? Um... I don't know about that. I sorta just move fast... like.. I blink about.. from point A to B. Not a teleport, just.. I launch forward and end up where I want to go. I dunno, 'bout a half football field worth of distance. Besides that... I'm... boring.." He winces at the loud voice, wiggling a finger into one of his ears. "Wait, if I want to live? Am I... are we in danger?"

Thor has posed:
    "No, there is no peril." Thor says with a cant of his head as if he was confused by Drake's question about their being in danger. "No, I was hoping to have you show me your powers so that I can report back to the other avengers about what you can do and how you can help the team." Thor notes aloud.

Slipstream has posed:
"Oh. Oh. Yeah.. Sure.. I can do that..." Drake says as he glances down at the device on his wrist that is currently glowing blue and showing a number of LED read outs of his vitals. Snowball zips around him a few times to do a quick scan as she shines a glowing light down upon him. Before and after it seems. "You want me to do it here or ... do you have some place in mind to go to? I don't tend to zip around Manhatten." He says with a crooked smile along his face. "You really think I may be able to help the Avengers one day?"

Thor has posed:
    Thor takes his hand off the bulkhead and crosses his arms once more with a nod down towards Drake. "I think if you want to help others really and truely, then yes, one day you may be able to help the Avengers." Thor says matter of factly as he leans against the Quinjet, "Now show me what you can do." Thor requests with a smile upon his ancient face.

Slipstream has posed:
"Okay.." Drake breathes out as he gives a nod of his head. He draws the zipper up higher on his hoodie, then pulls it over his head. Giving a few sways of his arms, he gives a look down the street, then steps forward. With a blink, he is gone.

Thor has posed:
    Thor is left blinking while against the Quinjet and he pushes off with his shoulder and jumps down back to the ground with his hand held up over his brow as if he was going to see the young kid down the street with just his extra Asgardian vision.

    "Darke!?" Thor calls out trying to figure out which one Drake is still as he's still not sure even the kids name, much less what he looks like.

Slipstream has posed:
"Yo!" Drake calls out halfway up a fire escape across the street on a building as he leans against the railing, waving to him to get his attention. "Hang tight." He leaps over the edge of the rail, then blinks out again before reappearing in front of him with a bit of a wobble. "So, there you go. I move super fast." He says with a grin and a salute across his brow. "I call myself Slip Stream. I just push off my foot, eyeball a location and I shove myrself there."

Thor has posed:
    "That's interesting." Thor says matter of factly as he looks to Drake and uncrosses his arms. "You will need training and practice, there's only one way to really make a physical power like that better and faster." The god of thunder notes with a glance towards the horde of Drake's friends.

    "You may want to take some time off, friends are great and all, but I feel like you will need a mentor that has some real world guidance. I think we have an Avenger who could help you with your very powers." Thor says with a hint of a smirk.

Slipstream has posed:
He can hear the noise of conversation from his friends near by, as it seems that until now, they haven't seen Drake actually use his powers. It's one thing to have Avengers over, but it's another to have someone live with them that is now not considered 'normal'. He rubs the back of his neck. "You do? You think you know someone that can mentor me?" He asks with a hopeful tone in his voice. "I'd really like that. I have a few people that I work with right now but no one has the same power set."

Thor has posed:
    "I will have to speak to Howardson, but I believe we can help each other." Thor says with a laugh, and his mighty right hand falls down heavily on Drake's shoulder in a sign of admiration and a jovial tone falls upon the conversation.

    Turning around, Thor steps up like nothing to the door way of the Quinjet that's three feet off the ground. "We shall meet again Darke, and I hope to continue this friendship." Thor says and gives a wave to the boy and then over towards his nerdy friends.

Slipstream has posed:
"Oh. Okay. Cool. I hope to continue our friendship also, sir." Drake says with a smile on his face as he gives a wave to him once he climbs aboard the Quinjet, then starts over for his friends as Snowball follows after, scanning him again after his quick pair of jumps that he made along the street and communicating the data back to Mister Stark. Once he reaches his friends, they all stare at him silently for a moment, except Zapp who says, "Dude, you are so cool." He chuckles and shrugs his shoulders. "Come on Team Static, we got work to do and I'm not tired yet. Let's practice a run on Anubis." Though Zapp follows after him, the other four seem a bit hesitant before they finally follow after.
