...and we never would have seen a Dr. Strange movie since he was one of their targets.

I know you broke up with him And your heart's still on the shelf It's been over two years for me And I'm still not quite myself You can't be with someone new And you can't go back to him You're beginning to realize That it's sink or swim I see you around sometimes And my heart just melts You're lookin' like if you had your wish You'd be somewhere else And it just breaks my heart To see you here this way Someday I'll get the nerve To walk up to you and say This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend Just gimme a chance To show you how to love again This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend 'Cause I'll be there When your broken heart is on the mend Every night it's the same old crowd Smoky rooms You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes But it never blooms I've been around this block a time or two And I've made some big mistakes But girl I promise you, I promise you This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend Just gimme a chance To show you how to love again This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend 'Cause it won't be long 'Til your little heart is on the mend Hey, hey, hey, hey (Time, time, tickin', tickin', tickin' away) (Time, time, tickin', tickin', tickin') (Time, time, tickin', tickin', tickin' away) (Time, time, tickin', tickin', tickin') People inside their houses With the shades pulled down God knows, we could use some romance In this sleepy bedroom town I know you're still afraid to rush into anything But there're just so many summers And just so many springs And this is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend Just gimme a chance, gimme a chance To show you how love again This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend 'Cause it won't be long 'Til your little heart is on the mend That you'll have to spend Just gimme a chance, darling To show you how to love again This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend 'cause it won't be long 'Til your broken heart is on the mend

Well I started out down a dirty road Started out all alone And the sun went down as I crossed the hill And the town lit up, the world got still I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing Well the good ol' days may not return And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing Well some say life will beat you down Break your heart, steal your crown So I've started out for God knows where I guess I'll know when I get there I'm learning to fly, around the clouds, But what goes up must come down I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing

Got proof they were inactive? They were also infiltrating politics (Sen. Stern).

That plot actually came from the comics. It was Bruce Wayne that told Lois how to find out where they came from.

Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2

Isn't that called "Papers and Paychecks"?

You, you got me Thinking it'll be all right you, you told me "Come and take a look inside." You believed me, in every single lie But I, I failed you this time And it feels like tonight I can't believe I'm broken inside Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight, tonight I was waiting For the day you'd come around I was chasing But nothing was all I found From the moment you came into my life You showed me what's right And it feels like tonight I can't believe I'm broken inside Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight I never felt like this before Just when I leave, I'm back for more Nothing else here seems to matter In these ever-changing days You're the one thing that remains I could stay like this forever And it feels like tonight I can't believe I'm broken inside Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight, tonight, tonight Cause there's nothing that I wanna do But try to make it up to you And it feels like tonight, tonight

Warren watched, through the Witch helping Marlene calm enough to meditate, and through Jason kneeling before her and do the same. After several moments passed, Jason laid two fingers across Marlene's. That was the only contact between the two of them. Angelique withdrew from Marlene and sat on the couch behind her. Warren took hold of Beth's arm. “Excuse us,” he said to everyone in the room. “We need to talk,” he told Beth. “Outside.” He led her to the front door. Beth struggled to get her arm free from his grasp. “Warren! You're hurting me!” Once outside and off the porch, Warren released her arm. “I'm sorry. Do you want to explain exactly what that was?” “What what was?” “Beth, I don't like feeling that I just led Jason into an ambush. Had I realized what you had in mind, asking me if I could get Jason here this weekend, I would have said no.” “Warren, those two needed to talk.” Warren sighed with exasperation. “I'm aware of that. Jason has tried talking to her!” “She wasn't ready.” “She could have called! She could have had the jet gassed up and flown back to New York!” “She wouldn't do that.” “She could have asked him to fly out to California!” “She wouldn't do that either, Warren. New York, the tower, that's Jason's home field. If she'd gone back that would have put him in control. If she'd asked him to come to her, that would be putting him in a position of weakness, and she wouldn't do that to him. She wanted to meet him on neutral ground. This place is, more or less, in the middle and all things considered, pretty neutral.” Beth crossed her arms. “Do you remember when we first met her? How Jason introduced me to her?” Warren looked up to the stars. “He said, 'this is your new best friend'.” Beth nodded. “And I have been, Warren. When Jason hooked up with Leah, I'm the one Marlene cried her eyes out to. Because one more chance for her to have a chance with him ended. The same thing when she found out he was seeing that witch. “I have seen her go out on dates, trying, but no matter who, or what they did, or where they went, none of them worked out for her. Remind you of anyone?” Warren was reminded of how Jason acted after Leah was gone. He nodded. “Neither one of them is weak, Warren, but those two, I don't know, they seem to belong together. I'd ambush Jason any number of times if it gives those two a chance to work things through.” “This is different, Beth. Jason lost her twice.” “He didn't lose her, Warren. She needed time to think things through. Jason gave her up for dead. You think that's easy on her?” Warren shook his head. “I was talking to him before you two got here. He said that he felt that he lost her, again, when she left. That's something you might have taken into account. How he feels matters, too. But in there? That was about the most scared that I've ever seen him.” “Why? Isn't what he's doing just another power stunt? A way to show off what he can do?” “Beth,” Warren sighed, “that isn't him showing off. That's him laying his soul bare to her. And I think that when it's over, he's afraid that she's going to hate him.” “I've seen him do things, Warren. I've seen you do things. You can't tell me that he doesn't show off!” “You don't get it. Jason is an athlete. A gymnast, an acrobat. Yeah, he'll show off. He'll do triples going off a diving board just for the fun of it. When it comes to powers, he won't show off. He'll use them to make a point, like he did when he first showed me what he was capable of doing.” Warren sat on the picnic table. “Beyond that, he won't, Beth. It's been too ingrained in him, the way he was raised and trained.” “Oh,” she said contritely. Beth sat on the table beside him and leaned her head on his shoulder. “Do you want me to leave?” “Beth,” Warren chuckled, “we've been friends since before either of us was in kindergarten. You're family to me. You know that. No, I don't want you to leave.” Beth straightened up and looked up at the stars. “Why is he afraid that she'll hate him?” “Because there's parts of us that we bury deep down inside and hide, even from ourselves. And if they happen to come out, the people we love the most, the people that we're closest to? Those are the last people we ever want to have see it. Jason doesn't have any safeguards in place for what he's doing.”

These have been quiet days When was the last time I wanted to sing Last few dying days hanging on - what will they bring? Even you and me We keep coming apart And it's a wrong thing We gotta look right at each other and say it Turn on the radio and play it And fall in love again Can you feel the light shine You know this song's yours and mine Ain't it good to know you've got a place to go Where the melody's fine Sometimes I'm not so strong And even now I could be wrong But if you love me like music I'll be your song Lately the day's been grey And time's been hard Man up in town putting everybody down Watch him play his card When you get free come on home to me I'm gonna lay it down We got love - we've got to feel it and show it Make each other really know it And fall in love again We've got to be friends Can you feel the light shine You know this song's yours and mine Ain't it good to know you've got a place to go Where the melody's fine Sometimes I'm not so strong And even now I could be wrong But if you love me like music I'll be your song Love me like music I'll be your song Can you feel the light shine You know this song's yours and mine Ain't it good to know you've got a place to go Where the melody's fine Sometimes I'm not so strong And even now I could be wrong But if you love me like music I'll be your song

Hiding under the covers is better than other alternatives. What minis? Pics?

They "may". Not that they have as yet.

I heard Comcast made a bid early on and they got outbid.

I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in, 12:30 flight The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa (Ah, gonna take the time) Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

One on each arm.

Camera (video or still). Digital voice/tape recorders.

They're on a build-up to detonation.

Maybe they can get Ryan Reynolds to make a guest appearance in a green suit and a ring.

I just wanna let you know, I know who you really are, and you're better than this.

“What's wrong?” Warren hugged and kissed Kate. “That song was one of Marlene's favorites. She often played it. I guess it was kind of a prod at Jason, wanting to know where the two of them were going.” “She's the one that gave it to me. Should I apologize?” “No. I'll talk to him.” Warren slipped into his coat and Leah handed him Jason's. Warren went outside. Scanning the yard for signs of his friend he saw Ash point at the barn. Warren waved thanks and walked to the barn, allowing himself time to gather his thoughts. Jason was standing by the loft doors, the top half of one side wide open. “Want to talk about it?” “Go away, Warren.” “No. No, I don't think so. We left you alone last time and we all pretty much agree that it was the worst mistake we could have made. If you wanted to be left alone you wouldn't have come. So on some level you realize that you need to be around friends. It's cold out here. You left your coat in the house. You can claim that your healing factor keeps you from feeling it, or that some trick Sharon taught you allows you to ignore it, but I'd really prefer that if you intend to freeze to death that you not do it in my barn. “I'm tired, Jason. I realize that you hurt, but I'm tired of everyone else feeling like they have to walk on eggshells around you. You've got Kate wondering what she did wrong. And I don't like that.” “I'll apologize to her.” “Good. I realize that you don't like people seeing you hurting, but you can't hide it from us. Stop trying. You are the most depressive son of a bitch I know.” Warren laid Jason's coat over the sill of the loft door. “Kate and Leah are tending the kitchen, but you're the one that agreed to cook.” Warren turned to walk away. “What did you do when they told you?” Warren stopped and turned back to his best friend. “I cried, Jase. I sat down with Kate in my lap. I held her and I cried, and I thanked God that it wasn't her.” “It shouldn't have happened,” Jason said quietly. “We can't save everybody. You know that.” “Not everybody. Just her. I should have been able to save her. I should have seen it coming.” And Jason broke.

Should also get a ballpark on what "close" is.

Only Spider-Man repairs his own suit, and that is only in the comics. The X-Men have a sweatshop in the basement staffed with mutants whose only powers are sewing. The Fantastic Four's unstable molecules are self-repairing. The Avengers have Jarvis. Iron Man has his fabricators.
