---

Dazzler has posed:
After being escorted to the Triskelion and taken no further than the foyer, Alison Blaire - surrounded by slick scifi tech and well-pressed Agents. SHIELD, she thought it might be SHIELD. Hell, she *hoped* it was SHIELD. The security makes total sense, for all that she looks likes someone who doesn't play the spy game.

Because she doesn't, really, But she can hum a few bars.

"Thanks for being willing to hear me out, May," Ali starts. "Long, crazy story in a few sentences: I am not from this universe. In one of them, for a little while I was a SHIELD Agent. Mutant Lliason or some other ridiculous title. I didn't get a chance to get good at it, because ridiculous mutant things got in the way. My hope is that with extradimensional-and-extrauniversal experience, I might be some kind of asset to the organization."

Alison Blaire: Agent of the Man?

"Crazy, right? I can't claim that the things I know are things that are *going* to happen, or that *always* happen, or even for sure are potential threats here yet..."

Melinda May has posed:
The first thing May does when they enter the foyer is claim a tablet from a passing agent and use the tablet to start an ID search on Alison. She knows way too many acronyms to have just guessed combinations, and her claim of extradimensional... something makes May want to see what intel can be found on the woman. Facial recognition is easy. There were cameras watching the pair since they approached the first security gate they passed through.

"Ms. Blaire, you do realize the risk you took by just saying eveyrthing you did out in the open like that, right?" The place kidn of looks like SHIELD, doesn't it? Big old Eagle emblems all over the place and everything.

Dazzler has posed:
Facial Recognition software pegs her as... someone roughly 10-15 years younger. Alison Blaire. The Dazzler. Pop-Star, Celebrity, Dilettante... apparently she just performed with Jay-Z not that long ago.

This Alison Blaire doesn't look quite like the same *type* - a little rougher around the edges, certainly the way she carries herself more combat-ready and experienced.

"I do, but when you're surrounded by X-Men, Dragons, and portal-hopping superteens, my sense of Danger is a tiny bit overridden in the presence of someone who's a Fed Personified."

"Err, no offense." May *does* give off that impression, though! "Do you have a Coulson here? Coulson's such a sweetheart."

Melinda May has posed:
May is about ready to call the facial recog software stupd when ALison asks after Coulson. And her non-reaction to the name is probably mroe than answer enough.

"Why are you here, Ms. Blake?" It's pretty clear that she doesn't mean here as in the building, or New York, but as in this particular universe.

Dazzler has posed:
"Because the last universe I was in, the genius who opened up a multiversal portal swore up and down he could get me back to the one I originated from," Alison offers with a shrug. "I was in a weak spot, homesick. I couldn't even tell you how much subjective time has passed since I was last there. And at this rate, with infinite worlds and infinite possibilities? I shouldn't have believed him anyway."

Of course, because she's a chatterbox, Ali keeps going; "Not like I always have a choice, or any control. Sometimes I get dumped through some magic thing, or some being from Beyond falls in love with me and then gets mad when I insult his white boy afro, or something else equally irritating."

Melinda May has posed:
Oookay then. May manages to not toss out the smartassery question about whether or not that 'genius' was Stark. Could very easily have been someone like Reed. "Well, as far as I know, no one here has developed dimensional travel." Unless you count the Bifrost. May doesn't.

"We will need time to verify what you've told me. Can you offer any more detail as to the methods used to travel from one universe to the next?" She might also be quietly sending a message to Coulson on that tablet. Difficult to say, though.

Dazzler has posed:
"Ennnh, the tech guys don't really know what they're doing in my experience, at least as far as extradimensional travel goes," Ali says, really thinking on that. "Oh sure, they'll CLAIM to know exactly what they're doing, but the mileage on my passport basically proves they're full of crap."

"Now the magic guys, *those* guys actually seem to have a bead on it. But seeing as how I am not a magician of any stripe, I couldn't tell you how they do it. But they have spots, they know how to reach them reliably, and more or less they don't want people just jumping around willy-nilly."

Here, Alison gestures at herself. She knows. "Because stupid things tend to happen, and nobody likes punching holes in reality for 'no bigs.'"

Melinda May has posed:
Setting the tablet aside May looks at Alison consideringly. "So you find yourself jumping to another universe at some point whether you want to or not. You don't know where you're going to end up, why you're there, or how long you'll be staying." This is sounding more and more like the woman has a blue box stashed somewhere.

"What in all of this makes who you are or where you've been worth SHIELD investing time and energy on you?"

Dazzler has posed:
"I'm good in a fight, I've picked up on certain patterns for how some events can go, and I don't freak out in the face of what people would consider to be sanity-taxing events," Alison lists on her fingers as the big pluses, watching May for any potential reactions she might have. "I'm also a mutant with the power to absorb an unlimited amount of sound and turn it into light for a variety of useful and painful purposes."

Melinda May has posed:
The first is honestly a dime a dozen, and May doesn't react to that at all. Many people are good in fights anymore and gets an equal non-reaction. The recognizing patterns for events is, well, fascinating, though she suspects that WAND would be more interested than SHIELD proper.

May herself has learned over the years with SHIELD to roll with just about anything, even codependently overprotective siblings who apparently live out of their car and hustle people for the money to pay for hunting 'monsters'. She's still not fully convinced on the monsters part, but then she's always been the one to demand firsthand evidence of things that would normally be difficult to believe.

The explanation of her mutant abilities actually earns a raised eyebrow from May, though more because that explains some of the pre-existing pop star Alison Blaire's extravagant light shows than because it's particularly noteworthy. She also makes a mental not to keep Lewis away from Blaire.

Dazzler has posed:
Alison's whole life is basically firsthand evidence of things that're difficult to believe, "Look, I can see I'm not really selling you on this and that's fine. But I've run with varying groups of X-Men and related folks for all kinds of mutant-related purposes. I think SHIELD does good work - Nick Fury and Coulson are solid guys, and I've never once had reason to doubt their motivations for even relatively questionable actions."

"I don't know how you feel about your versions of 'em, but here's where I bring up the 'patterns of events' kinda things. It's only been in the really out-there reaches where they're freak-o's."

Offering a shrug, "Listen - bring out a scientist, a telepath, whatever. I'm not lying or faking or spying. I'm *not* a super-great sneak, for obvious reasons."

Darkedge (303) has posed:
May could call a telepath or a scientist or a tarot card reader. WHomever she called it is Darcy Lewis who answers. Walking in on her almost too tall for office work black heels, and knee legth pencil skirt, Darcy click clacks her way in, listening to what she can of the conversation.

"OUr versions of them are pretty much okay. How are your versions of them? Hi, May. How's my fave SO doing?" She pauses and glances between everyone.

"So. What are we talking about today?"

Melinda May has posed:
To be fair, May requested Darcy's presence before Alison suggested that someone be called in to verify the truth of her words. But, with that straight up offer to have her words checked for truthfulness, that's an offer May can't refuse. She picks up the tablet again and taps a few words into it quickly. It's a text message for Natasha, asking her to join them in the foyer of the Triskelion.

"Someone will be here momentarily, Ms. Blaine. Lewis, give me your assessment of a woman named Alison Blaine." It's a test, for both women.

Dazzler has posed:
"Blaire," Alison corrects. The first time she let it go - but this is the second time. "My name is Alison *Blaire.*" It's more or less polite, but her eyes do narrow just that little bit. Darcy might be familiar with the name - Pop star, singer, Jay-Z, blah blah blah. But boy is she older than she should be.

Darkedge (303) has posed:
Darcy, standing at May's side, takes the question seriously and so openly checks Alison out. Darcy juts one hip out, bringing her fingers to her bright red lips as she regards the new to them woman. The bruise on her throat all but gone now.

"Well.. She's still fucking hot as hell," Darcy says at first, lips playing into a sly grin, glancing at May as the name is corrected with the sound of this not being hte First time.

"I've got to say, huge honor to get to meet you face to face. Loved the second album, but you are way more gorgeous in real life. All that photoshop's got you looking like.. fifteen or someshit. This? Like full grown hotness? Way more real. Whacha doing here? Wait, you said our versions of... ohmygod are there two of you? Like for real? Fuck, May today is the coolness day ever. Two Alison Blaires and one is talking to US?" Darcy immediately fishes a sharpie from a pocket and holds it out with one hand before pulling part of her neckline down.

"Can I have your autograph?"

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
It is about that point that a rather diminutive figure exits the elevators and walks toward the grouping. Natasha only stands at 5'3", although the little wedge heel on her boots gives her another two inches if she's lucky. Despite her lack of height, she carries herself with complete confidence. She's dressed in her work uniform, right down to gauntlets and Glocks in the holsters on both thighs.

She walks up just in time for Agent Lewis to ask for an autograph. That earns an arched brow but nothing more. Her face is expressionless as she looks at the visitor, green eyes looking over Alison openly. "Agent May. Agent Lewis." She gives each of them a glance and a brief nod before looking back at Alison.

One of her many skills is reading people. Even people who don't want to be read. Every nuance. Every detail. Body language, micro expressions. She's one of the best in the field of deception and thus she is able to spot it better than most.

Dazzler has posed:
"I have a second album in this Universe?" Ali asks Darcy, not even batting an eyelash as she takes the marker and signs her name on the other woman's exposed... canvas, 'Dazzler' complete with starburst logo. "This other me is slightly less annoying all ready, but yeah. Sorry. She's younger. The... Taylor Swift to my Madonna, if you will." Age-wise. Talent? Toss-up.

Handing Darcy the marker back though, "I love the attention but I'm into dudes, sorry," she adds quietly.

"Agent Lie Detector, I assume?" Alison asks of May, her sideways thumb indicating Natsha. "I've never actually met Black Widow in person before, though your Senate hearing? *Amazing.* I cheered when you basically told them to eat it." Her body language basically decries her an open book.

Melinda May has posed:
If May has any reaction to being called out for mispronounding Alison's last name, she doesn't let it show. But then, she's been in full Vulcan mode since they set foot on SHIELD property. Lewis recognizing Blaire correctly despite the very apparent age difference helps as well, and then Natasha arrives.

May offers the redhead a nod hello then looks at the blonde again, then stays quiet as she chats with Lewis, and just barely manages to suppress a wince when Alison calls Natasha 'Agent Lie Detector'. Even if it pretty darned accurate.

Darkedge (303) has posed:
"That's cool," Darcy says of Alison liking guys. Unruffled Darcy is unruffled. She happiy takes her sharpie back, smiling down at her cleavage a moment before covering up and tuckign her marker back into a pocket.

"Hi. Romanov. Barton cheats at pool. I need you to show me the best ways to distract his ass so I can win a game or two," Darcy greets Natasha with a broad smile.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
"Agent Romanova," Natasha automatically reponds to Alison, never letting her gaze stray. Not that the woman has actually said anything so far but she seems to be open. Course all she's done is throw out a compliment, something that can be used to try to ease the path. With her, it is seen as a ploy even if it isn't meant as one. She generally thinks people are always up to something.

She does answer Darcy, without looking her direction. "There is no distracting Agent Barton when he's playing pool. If you want to beat him, become a better player. It shouldn't take more than a decade or two."

Her eyes remain on Alison. "Perhaps we should get down to business. There was something you wanted us to know?" Coming in late, she has to hear things that may have already been said to determine truth or lie.

Dazzler has posed:
"I'm from another universe. Couldn't say exactly which one, but it's for sure not this one," Alison reiterates, because Darcy hasn't *really* heard it either. "I've been in so many of them I lost count." Truths, if exaggerating a little for effect.

"The guy who turned the dial on the last portal I walked through to get to this universe swore up and down he could get me home, and he missed." Another truth, and it's one that stings her even though Ali doesn't think it should.

"I met May in the park earlier and latched onto her because the last time I was with SHIELD I didn't get the chance to *do* anything before getting sidelined," another sting, though this one she's definitely still consciously feeling, "and I wanted to try and get it right this time."

Melinda May has posed:
And there's the lack of a little factoid again, and now is a good time to question Alison about it. "Ms. Blaire, do you happen to remember the name of the man who activated that portal?" Perhaps they can find his equivalent here. That would be a step in the right direction, maybe. And also, something that Natasha could possibly gauge.

She's still internally betting that it was either Stark or Reed.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
There is no movement from Natasha. Nothing to indicate her impressions. She shifts her weight onto her right foot. It's subtle. Not really noticeable unless someone is trained. A signal, prearranged, with May. Truth. Everything the woman is saying so far is truth, at least as she sees it. The questioning is for May to do. Her purpose is to observe and gauge.

Dazzler has posed:
"Howard," Alison says after trying to take a moment to think and remember. "Not the Duck," just in case anyone starts thinking *that*. "Howard Stark, I think he said his name was. Terrible flirt, worse mustache. Dunno if he was related to Tony or not, but there was a resemblance."

Truth. Weird?

"What does that matter, it's not like I can call him back and tell him 'Hey, schmucko, you missed!'"

Darkedge (303) has posed:
Alison says Howard and Darcy takes a breath, only for Alison to cut her off by shutting down exactly what she was going to say.

"Well, that's totally not as fun as if it HAD been Howard the Duck. Howard Stark though?" Darcy glances at May a moment before looking back at Alison.

"Well. Someone ought to track the fucker down and ask if his old man's name is Howard. I mean. At least it gives it a lead. Though, I'm not sure you SHOULD say that, if you like guys AND he's a terrible flirt. He's totally going to take it the wrong way and demand he get to try again."

Melinda May has posed:
May notices the subtle indication meaning that Alison is telling the truth, then actually visibly reacts. She blinks three times when Alison names the scientists. She doesn't need to verify, she knows exactly who Howard Stark is, even if she never worked with him directly herself.

"No. Leave Stark out of this." May looks at Alison for a long moment after getting another 'true' indication from Natasha. "Lewis, get the consultant documentation started for Ms. Blaire. We'll start slowly so you don't feel like we're going to try to turn you into a science experiment. Do you have a current residence yet?"

Dazzler has posed:
"I've been hanging out with the X-Men, the other me has... had?... has a spot I've been using, since that's where the portal I came throigh dropped me off." Alison makes kind of a face there.

"Speaking of, by the by... I haven't been out much in public yet but... the other me hasn't turned up yet either. I've met other versions of myself before so my being here doesn't automatically make her vanish, but I don't actually have the slightest idea where she could be. I don't know how to really handle this with a super-active celebrity self because that only happens with one or two realities in ten, but people are gonna start looking for her soon and that's bound to be awkward." For all SORTS of reasons.

Marcus Jameson (812) has posed:
Slowly Marcus Jameson is coming out of the medical ward as he looks around Spotting a number of people in the Foyer, he looks like he's been put through hell. And he is rolling his shoulder over with a hand on it as he begins to approach. "Good evening Agent May. Is everything alright here?" he asks, and while he doesn't joke much he does make one here. "Should I call out the supression unit?" he looks at Alison, "Interrogate this young woman here? Subject her to the comfy Chair?" he says making a Monty Python referance. Of course with this being SHIELD an Intellegence Agency, Can you be sure it's a Monty Python Referance?

Melinda May has posed:
May looks at Alison consideringly for a moment. "Would you be opposed to going by an alias? That might be simpler than trying to deal with getting confused with the younger version of you already here." Might also make doing clandestine missions a bit simpler.

When Jameson arrives, May turns to look at him. "Everything is fine, though if you could secure a small conference room, that would be best." Because really, this part of the conversation is best NOT done in the middle of a highly trafficky area. She nods as Natasha takes her leave again, then looks to Darcy, who is likely already three steps ahead. She might talk like a sailor on a Twitter account, but the unconventional young agent has her moments of efficiency. Not even May can deny that.

Darkedge (303) has posed:
"Conference Room number four. It's free for the after noon," says Darcy to Marcus, smiling helpfully. Because if he's going to secure one, best if he knows which one is best for right now. Her green eyes go to may.

"Do I get to give her a codename? Oh please please!?!"

Dazzler has posed:
Alison Blaire says, "I'll work a hologram on missions, will that do? I'd rather either find the other one or explain her absence somehow. The weirdness isn't going to get any less weird," Alison offers.

As they head towards the conference room, Marcus getting a bit of the old once over, Ali spares Darcy a horrified look, "What's wrong with 'Dazzler'?""

Marcus Jameson (812) has posed:
Marcus Jameson of course he will lead the group over to the confrance room, and making sure it is open, for them allowing the group to enter. "Would you like me to get you all some coffee, or snacks?" it isn't an interrogation, but if it is a recruitment the coffee and snacks might relax then to get a better assessment of Dazzler's personality.

Darkedge (303) has posed:
"Nothing!" Darcy says to Alison, her tone just as scandalized. But, with foot in mouth, Marcus offers her a 'way out'. "I'll get the snack, Jameson. I know where all the creamer is, rar." Rar. Sofa King stupid! She smiles hugely and heads off to bury her pride in coffee filters.

Melinda May has posed:
Once they're settled in the conference room, May nods to Alison. "That might have to be mandatory at least at first, Ms. Blaire." Maybe some judiciously applied hairdressing would help reduce the resemblance. "As to a code name, that usually gets picked after recruitment and training is complete." She suspects, though, that Blaire can 'test out' of most of it. "You might not get the luxury of keeping your moniker." Because, you know, other Dazzler.

Dazzler has posed:
"She turns up, she can ro-sham-beaux me for it," Alison grumbles. Pretty sure she could take her younger self, too. "I can always claim Madame Masque hit me with an aging ray or something; we've got a Superman *and* a Captain America in this universe, aging rays can't be too much of a stretch, can they?"

But then, May mentioned recruitment and training. Noooow we're talking! Leaning her chin on her hand, she grins at the other woman, "So you're considering taking me in? Going to give me a shot?"

Marcus Jameson (812) has posed:
Coming back he will bring Coffee Doughnuts and of course a number of Papers, the recruitment types as he asks Agent may. "Agent May Do you have any objection to me sitting in and offering some Advice So that Miss, Blaire can make an informed choice on Joining our Orginazation? I may have some insights."

Melinda May has posed:
May nods her assent to Marcus. "That would be fine, Jameson." She can tell he's feeling al of the extra physical testing that the scientists are putting him through, so this will be a good thing for him to do that won't overtax him. Maybe she'll even leave him in charge of giving Blaire the ten cent tour of the building. "Thank you."

She looks at Alison again. "I think we should probably start off with how SHIELD here differs from what you know, so that you don't get tripped up by anything that isn't the way you expect it."

Dazzler has posed:
Leaning back, Ali steeples her fingers and crosses her legs. "Helicarrier, Agents with Names, Agents with Numbers, bunch of underlings. Nick Fury and/or Maria Hill? I may have only been an Agent once, but I've been in the hero game everywhere I've gone. SHIELD is pretty constant -- but go on, I wouldn't want to take anything for granted and do something stupid by accident."

On purpose is another story.

She smiles at Marcus, "Any and all help is appreciated."

Melinda May has posed:
Well, that does sound like everything is very similar all right. "I am intrigued by the fact that you've named several agents so far, and yet, I had to introduce myself." She doesn't want to know why, it's just intriguing. "Which division did you work for that time?" She's pretty sure that the answer won't be 'WAND', but it can't hurt to clarify.

"Jameson, how have the science group been treating you so far?" From what Alison said earlier, that might be somethign that she'll want to hear from someone who's in it first hand currently.

Marcus Jameson (812) has posed:
Nods and Sits down at the table as he says. "My family has a long that stretches back to the American Civil War. From Father to son, there has always been one question asked to any member of the family who desires to enlist. 'Why do you want to join the military?' If you are joining the millitary for rank, and prestige. You are in the military for the wrong reasons. The Same goes for SHIELD. I am here to protect people, I am here to save lives. I do not care about rank, or prestige. Sometimes I may be called upon to end lives. If will do that if nessicary. That is why I was selected to be part of SHIELD's Super soldier Program. So I ask you the question my Father ASked me. Why do you want to Join SHIELD?"

MArcus smiles. Rolling his shoulders and says, "Treating me like hell. But they need to know my absolute breaking point Physically and mentally just as Fury needs to know."

Dazzler has posed:
"Every Universe is a little bit different," Alison says in a roundabout way of answering May's question. "Different lives, different overlaps, different circumstances. It's possible you've been in other places I've been, but I never met you before."

Looking back over at Marcus, Ali grins. "I started helping innocents when I was still trying to sing disco in dirty holes in Manhattan, and still not believing I wanted to do it. Being with the X-Men has put me in a position to help a lot of folks, but they're always off the books. Under the radar, and they usually have to operate outside the law." The looking between the two other agents, the more obvious the implicit qestion there: Right? Right?

"SHIELD opens doors and offers legitmacy, sure, but SHIELD gets you where it's not just mutants that need help too. Anyone that needs it."

Marcus Jameson (812) has posed:
With a nod Marcus says, "Indeed I am aware of the X-men's activities, and the natured of their legality. Having been a victim of Racism myself, I believe in their cause. If not their method of operations. But yes I agree that SHIELD would be a benefit, and you are right, you can't draw a line on who you help. The X-men mostly deal with mutant issues, but they ignore the greater need of helping everyday normal people. I know they can't be everywhere, no one can. But it is the common man, the children of today that become the leaders of tomorrow. Showing people that yes, we are mutants. WE are trained to fight but we are using our abilities to help people. And we do fight mutants who would harm those innocents. Will influance their visions to a more tolerate. Same is true if they just stick to muttant issues, all it says is, we are looking out for our own kind. We only help you normal people when it would make us look good, or cause more proplems not to help."

"I think in all honesty The X-men would be a great ally for SHIELD, and SHIELD in return to them. But there can't be a division in who they help. An example is Xaviers, they only take in Mutants and MEtahumans. I understand needing to train them in the use of their powers and abilities, but they isolate students from normal powerless people. They don't teach the children how to interact with others who are not powered."

Melinda May has posed:
"SHIELD can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any group of individuals known as X-Men, operating outside the law or otherwise." That May can say that so completely deadpan is likely impressive, but it's also telling. Considering May's security level in this organization, it likely means that they are fully aware of the mutant hero group and are very intentionally pretending they don't exist to protect them from persecution.

She doesn't try to contradict anything Marcus has said, because it's likely close enough to the truth that she doesn't have to. At the very least, she agrees with him that it doesn't help anyone in the long run to be choosy about who to be heroic for.

Dazzler has posed:
Listening to Marcus' piece, Alison just absorbs it. It's different to hear it from an allied human. And... she can't disagree. Not with a word of it. Before she answers him, though, she winks at May. Bingo.

"That's the whole reason I agreed to join SHIELD when Coulson asked me. Because I was tired of working one side at the expense of the other, trying to draw invisible lines where there didn't need to be lines, no matter that I'd done a better job of being helpful before I ever joined the ... other group." Mmmhnmm.

"Which isn't to say I don't still have that allegiance, because I do. But I want to help where I can be *seen* helping - a mutant on SHIELD, helping everyone. Because *that* is what gets the bigger point across. Too many Magnetos, not enough mutants in the good places, y'know?"

Marcus Jameson (812) has posed:
"It is only natural for you to have that pull." As he nods and says. "The real trick is being given an order that makes you stand against those friends and those you are part of. And doing what is right. I think you know it is not an easy choice to make." MArcus finally nods and says.

"I think she has the Potential for a Great Shield agent. And I can say from my personal Experiance, dispite being augemented into a living weapon. I have never been treated during that process aas anything less than a human being.

He smiles. "That is why groups like HYDRA, AIM, Weapon X never succeed to make an unstoppible super soldier. A Gun is a Tool, It's use is determined by those who wield it. When you turn a person into a weapon, it is easy to think of them as a tool. But more often that not those who forge such a weapon forget something. It is alive, with a mind and will of it's own. Handle it with care. I am handled with great care and respect here.

Melinda May has posed:
Well. Sounds like Jameson is going to sell SHIELD to Alison just fine without her help. Maybe she should look into having him sell war bonds. Are those even still a thing? She suspects they're not. She can't even scold him for revealing the super soldier project to the not-yet-a-recruit. Though she will speak with him about it later.

"Do you have any questions for us, Ms. Blaire?"

Dazzler has posed:
"Nothing more in the current line of conversation, anyway," Ali smiles a little. Truth be told she was sold on SHIELD before she got here anyway; she's more just glad that they seem to be reaching some sort of accord.

"That said, I take it I'm not to discuss anything we talked about here with any specifics - and either I'm free to go and you'll be in contact *or* I'm going to be escorted to some sort of dormitory to hang out in through recruitment testing?"

Because while Agent Romanov will vouch as to her not being a liar, they still haven't actually seen what this Dazzler can do.

Marcus Jameson (812) has posed:
With a nod he turns to May and says, "So Take her to medical for the Preliminaries of the entrance?" He knows there is a ful medical work up and evaluation.

Melinda May has posed:
May considers. "Do you want to get started right away, Ms. Blaire, or do you want a day or two to think about it and speak with your friends?" Like Ororo and Kurt. May is honestly okay with whichever she chooses. It won't hurt anything in the long run.

Dazzler has posed:
"I don't need to think about it, but I *did* get invited to a concert tonight," Ali grins. May remembered, and that aaaabsolutely racks up some points in the plus column. "I'll report for preliminaries once I've told them what I *can* tell them?" Which she knows isn't much beyond 'Joining SHIELD, going through Agent training. Love you, call me if you need me.'

Marcus Jameson (812) has posed:
With a Smile Marcus smiles and offers a handshake to Alison. "Pleasure to meet you Ms. Blaire, and I look forward to working with you in the future." he says. She is joining Shield for the right reasons. And that is good in his book.
