	Carol looked at Natasha, "Let's take it one level at a time. But you do have a point, let's get it on, as they say." Carol looked at the recruits, "Alright, the reason you've made it this far, is because you have potential. But it will take more than that to get you the rest of the way. So, everybody, on me. You're first training event is about to begin." Carol led the way out the door, and towards the infamous Avenger Training center. TBC, The recruits and anyone else involved, to the Training Hall thread.

	Cynthia packed her gear back properly as the Avengers had their little chat on what to do next. Sitting and waiting made her crazy, but she knew running off and doing something stupid like jumping into an existing training session was beyond ridiculous. ((Calm down. I need to calm down)) she thought as she surveyed the people who were going to decide her fate. Most of the costumed types didn't set off her radar, but the two Russian women who seemed to be twins in many ways beyond their choice of clothing made her jumpy as hell inside. She knew enough about the Red Room to know that crossing anyone trained there was a bad move. All she needed right now was for someone bringing up her crazy sister or her dead husband or asking her for a battle buddy date. They might find the hutning knife in her side holster planted in their foot.

	" The world these days is too much comrades, the quicker the kids know how much is at stake, then we know the ones who shine brightest are the ones who understand it." Natasha was not going to get herself involved in Tony's personal choices as Oksana made her return. She simply nodded to Oksana, to aknowledge her presence. She then turned to Bucky and Carol. " I'm afraid thee old school methods may not be proficient, we cannot ease them into training, we must try to break them to see who can hold together and who is along for the ride, no?" Natasha could see, watching the kids down below, that to some of them, this was merely a status thing, to say hey look im an Avenger. To others this was the real deal. " In the old country, if you back a grizzly into a corner, it will fight for it's life no matter thee odds, that is what we must do to them, to strengthen their minds and bodies, to give them hope for a better tomorrow." She knew not everyone would be instantly on board with the idea. The Avengers weren't known for being the rough and tough route. But sometimes the hard way, was the way to keep alive. Natasha turned to again look at Bucky. " Perhaps without giving them prior intel, we should run a sequence, perhaps a hostile alien invasion, The Brood perhaps?"

	The only thing that could help Bucky now was for Steve to be here. This was not his place by any stretch of the imagination. His place was out in the world hunting the bad guys in the shadows, But that all changed the day Steve Rogers was killed. This was Bucky's place now, and he had to get on with it. "I think what might help is getting everyone settled in and then do a training session, but that isn't how the real world works, right?" he said only half jokingly to Carol as he looked back toward Natasha and then over to Oksana, Hank and Janet. "I'd also love to take all of you," he said as he looked at Darkhawk and the new recruits, "out on a real mission right now. But I know that isn't going to happen either." Cap took a deep breath, looked at the roster once more and shook his head. "Carol, training room for a first hand introduction to what these folks can do, and then we can get them settled in. Sound like a plan? Natasha, Oksana? Am I asking too much?"

	Carol looked back to Oksana after Tony left. "You know Tony," She said, "You know him better than most. Things will be alright. Welcome back. Feel free to jump in anywhere." Carol nodded to the door, "Even in Tony's office if you like. If I know Tony, he's working on three things at once. And he could use the help. Your back, and thats all the matters." Carol then turned and looked at Bucky, "Is there anything you need Cap? Anyway we can help with the selection process?" tbc

	"Yeah, I mean yes. Yes it is." There was an awkwardness in the air, and about Tony. He took a breath and steadied himself. He looked at Oksana, "It is good to have you back. We need you. Now is an important time. Carol's right, we need experienced people." Tony looked around at everybody, and the newbies who found themselves in the middle of their first real test. The Avengers interpersonal dynamic. Getting through that would be just as tough as combat. "Well," Tony started. "We should get to work. Cap has the selection process, Carol has the angst ridden teenager downstairs with with the alien super-weapon, and I have some things I need to get to as well." Tony nodded to everyone as he made his way out. He headed to his office. TBC- Everyone else here. Tony on his way to his office in a new thread.

	"Oksana!" Carol shouted as she made her way through the group. She gave Oksana a hug. "We don't have a spare spot, we have your spot. It's always been yours. Glad to have you back. We need all the experience we can get. It really is great to see you again." Carol turned around to face the other Avengers, "Isn't it." tbc

	ooc: Karen said it was okay to post him and she will put the final stamp of approval when she gets on later! "Hey, hope I'm not too late. I'm Blake St. James, hopefully I'm on your recruitment list. If not I got the letter you guys sent me." Blake said as he walked out of the elevator and towards the Avengers. He dropped his pack on the floor and joined the others. Blake looked around the room and suddenly his palms got really sweaty. This was it. This was the big time here. Iron Man. Ms. Marvel. Hank Pym. And holy crap.... Captain America. Blake was trying to imagine running around with the big guns but that image wasn't materializing at the moment. "I see everyone got some nice looking firearms. I didn't bring any with me." Blake said as he noticed the new recruits brought their gear with them. "Well, unless you count these guns! He chuckled as he patted his biceps. Sometimes when he was nervous he made dumb jokes. {{Great start with the dumb jokes, Blake. If Iron Man doesn't open a window and drop me out of it in the next ten minutes, I'll be very surprised.}}

	Oksana took the elevator to the top level. She was happy to be back but for some reason she had a knot in the pit of her stomach. She took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. It's not like she was a newbie Avenger. She had been with them for a few years, but it was kinda her fault for just up and leaving the team. Yes Tony had broken up with her then and instead of putting on her big girl pants and sticking with the team she opted to leave because it her too much to be close to him. Now that they had figured out what exactly happened to him and things were getting back on track, she just hoped the rest of the team would welcome her back with open arms. The elevator doors slid open and she exited walking towards her teammates. She put her hand up and smiled warmly. "Hope you guys have another spot on the team open." She said looking at her friends and then she nodded to the new recruits.

	" Oh my gosh." Natalie said nervously as more and more big guns of the Avengers filled the room. All they need in the room was Thor and the Hulk and Natalie felt like she would faint. This was real, really real. " I suddenly feel like a small fish in a very big pond." She whispered to her brother. Dexter slightly laughed. " Relax sis, did you need your inhaler?" He joked as she slugged him in the shoulder. " Seriously these guys are all chill, dude Tony, can you sign one of my guns?" Dexter said not so jokingly. " I so model my sarcasm and stunning good looks after you." Natalie rolled her eyes. " Oh brother." She started to think to herself. {Those two together, the sharp wit and sarcasm may cause the world to explode} Natalie's eyes searched around the room, and wondered if they should even be there, they should be down on the bottom level training. " So um...should we go down to the bottom level and start training or do we find where we room or?" Natalie just wanted to get to where the others were and away from the head honchos before they thought of her as a nuisance. And of course Dexter was over still fanboying over Tony.
