REVOLUTIONARIES WAIT for my head on a silver plate JUST A PUPPET ON A LONELY STRING --------------------
Reed laid out the information and Stark, who knew what was coming, kept his eyes on the group. He had wanted to conduct this with everyone individually, hoping to gauge reactions and test them. That was harder to do in a group. Strange and Xavier were in thought. Namor reacted with anger - specifically regarding Sue, as expected from him. Stark would just let Reed handle that as he had the Sue data. Black Bolt however, stood. Black Bolt was a man of no wasted movement and he did so because he wanted to grab attention. He held up three fingers, then raised a forth. thankfully they had a telepath on hand that he could communicate with more effectively and Xavier filled them in on the details. The Inhumans had been infiltrated as well. Apparently no one was safe.
"Great. More bad news." Stark replied. More pressing in the moment however was Reed deciding to call Stark out like he did. He lifted his faceplate to show he was quirking an eyebrow at Reed. Xavier was called out as well, who Tony let speak his peace first. Charles really hadn't know anything more about it all then the rest of them, he only reported a dead skrull that had been impersonating Squirrel Girl.
"Or the new skrull is just a better copy." Stark offered. The new Squirrel Girl was not completely in the clear, just in a more trust worthy position, "As for me, I would think it was obvious why I didn't mention it before." he said. Iron Man reached up and removed his helm, closing it up and setting it on the table in front of him.
"I look around this room with my eyes, with my scanners, with whatever I like and I see Reed Richards, Steven Strange, Charles Xavier, and the kings Blackagar Boltagon and Namor McKenzie. Everything tells me you are who you are, and yet how am I suppose to trust that at this point? I haven't said anything before now because for all I know I'm sitting in a room with a bunch of skrulls. I was hoping I could get some better leads on what was going on, but our hands are now forced. They're going to know about Sue and they're going to move. So now all we can do is pick who to trust and push forward." he said. He turned to Reed.
"I've got the data I've collected from the two I have on me. The bodies are in stasis, hidden away at the moment. I can bring them to you later." he offered.

Iron Man dropped from the sky and landed with a clunk next to the Blackbird. Charles was already here. Good. Stark stood and headed into the facility, his sensors constantly on the look out for any surveillance. He even had his satellites watching for anything trying to watch from orbit, he was so paranoid at the moment. Once he got to the assigned room the faceplate of his MK 25 armor gazed around the room expressionlessly. He was the last to arrive.
Stark knew why they were here. He had originally suggested this be done one on one because he wanted to make it seem like simple catch up meetings to any spies. Everyone gathering together in one spot could be risky. Reed had disagreed. Hopefully for good reason, but ultimately Stark had agreed to a single meeting with all of them. Regardless, the topic was one of the biggest threats they had likely ever faced. A Skrull invasion that was likely already close to finishing. Stark had received the first clue by pure happenstance. The return of Mockingbird had prompted him to check what they had buried when they thought she had died. It was a Skrull. Xavier found the second one, though he didn't know anything beyond that one yet. The imposter Squirrel Girl who had been killed fighting a Sentinel attacking the mansion. The third was found by Reed, the only other person who now knew about both of the other two. His own wife, replaced by a Skrull. Now was the time to let the rest of the group in on it. The question was, who could be trusted? The answer: No one, and so you had to take a shot in the dark and hope for the best. If the Illuminati were all who they were suppose to be, then they were the best chance of stopping the Skrulls.
Iron Man took his place at the table and nodded to Reed to start whenever he was ready. The devices on the table were fascinating. It seemed Reed had been busy, his mind likely already looking to solve the problems they faced. Stark looked forward to hearing about what he came up with.

In case Professor X is needed anywhere he's well.... available. There isn't anyone "needed" specifically. It's just a 'if your character would want to join in the fight, then you're welcome to join in!' sort of deal. If you think Xavier would join them in trying to fight, then he's welcome to do so -nods-

Apocalypse has declared war on Genosha. Polaris, after being defeated by Death has awoken in a rage and wants to retaliate. She is recruiting any Mutants who wish to fight for the only home their people have. It could be a suicide run, but she intends to go through with it. Will you stand with her? This thread is open to any mutants and will be the end of the Apocalypse plot. It'll likely be a large thread, so there will be a 2 days to post rule when your turn comes up. After that you'll be skipped. If you're skipped you must wait until your turn comes back up to rejoin (Let us know you plan to hop back in ahead of time). You can insert as many mutants as you play in the thread, but you must write all of them in the same post. You can separate that one post into their own individual responses like multiple posts, but they must all be in the one post. This is so we're not waiting for one person multiple times. So the more you bring in, the more you'll have to write for at once. Keep that in mind. If you don't have a mutant but want to participate, it's possible you can temp an unplayed mutant for the thread. The thread will start once Rescue Mission B Team ends (Or sooner if that one stalls again, but it should only have a few rounds left). Another thing to keep in mind is that Apocalypse and the Horsemen are no pushovers and will be very capable of combating multiple opponents. Apocalypse himself is especially powerful and provably difficult to take down even with a large group. Do not be surprised if you find them a match even while outnumbered. Temping rules - Some unplayed mutants can be temped in the thread. If someone applies for the temped character while the thread is in progress then they have the right to take over as that character in the thread. If you're interested in temping a character in it, feel free to message me about it. Enemies:Apocalypse - Revan/Staff War/Wolverine - Revan Death/Gambit - Aqua Famine/Blob - Martyr Pestilence/Deadpool - Razor Mutants:Polaris - Revan Magik - Revan Marvel Girl - Jaymi Scarlet Witch - Jaymi X-23 - Jaymi Cyclops - Jaymi Rogue - Martyr Hellion - Gordy Namor - Zania Firestar - Zania Nightcrawler - Gummy Storm - Superchick Angel - Scirth Member Count: 10

--------------------
For the most part they took it all in stride which was good. One was wondering about her place on the team though. Agent de Jesus was not the standard here, it was true. But he was shorthanded and also hoping Skrulls couldn't replicate the undead. This was just a hope though, so there was no confirmation Beatriz wasn't a Skrull. But he had to play the odds to find out who he could trust. Iron Man nodded in agreement of Agent Smith's correction and elaborated.
"Agent de Jesus, your place is as back up on the Infiltration Team. Ironheart will handle the tech side, you and Mockingbird will be on lookout and if you become compromised you're there to help fight. You're a rather unique individual and I'm hoping that can throw the Kree off if it comes to a battle. Otherwise, just support your team members as needed. Same for you, Mockingbird. If something happens, you're in charge of reacting and giving orders as needed." Iron Man said. The final question was Agent Sampson's.
"Now." Iron Man answered, glancing at the timer he had running on his HUD. No more time for questions, "I know this was all thrown together quickly and some of you might be feel a bit nervous about it all, but this is what happens in this job. Sometimes we have to do the best we can with what we have on hand. I trust you'll all do your best to protect the planet and I believe you can pull this off. Good luck." he finished with a nod. Then he left them to head off and finish their prep before heading out. Meanwhile, he had a planet to monitor...
-Stark out for now-

-------------------- Well, this was just what they needed right now. The Peak detected the incoming ships but it didn't take the Kree long to surround them and start barking orders. At least they had been somewhat vague, but this wasn't going to make keeping things secret any easier. And he wasn't quite sure if he was ready to play any hands yet. If only these damn Kree had waited a while longer. How did they even find out they were here? He might have to let some in on what was happening. In the meantime, he had The Peak signal to the ships for a parley. He had to play for some time, at the very least.
Unlike most, Tony Stark did know what the Kree were after. He knew exactly what they after. The problem was, they couldn't deliver. Only a handful of people even knew there were Skrulls currently entrenched somewhere on the planet. And the Skrulls currently hiding god knows where were sure as hell not about to drop their cover to spare Earth. And given this situation, Stark was having troubles deciding who to trust. Normally he would go and speak to a force like this himself, but these other factors made him feel like he should be where he could keep an eye on everything. Even now he was monitoring as much as he could across the Earth, searching for odd movement patterns and people operating in a way that wasn't normal with this new development. Only people who understood Kree had any reason to panic right now. SHIELD already had announcements playing to assure the public there was nothing to worry about.
So if he wasn't going himself, he needed to appoint a suitable replacement as ambassador. There were only a certain number of people on hand he could call on right away, but he knew which direction he wanted to go with this. Sending top level Avengers might seem too aggressive. Stark wanted the Kree to feel like the more powerful, not make them feel challenged. They might just decide to wipe out the planet on principal. So he needed someone who didn't come off threatening, but could still handle themselves if things turned ugly. Thus, the lead for his diplomatic team was Squirrel Girl. She had an uncanny ability to come out on top against all odds, was friendly and good at making friends with the most unlikely beings, and at first glance was probably the least threatening superhero out there. She also had another benefit. One of the Skrulls that had been found had been impersonating Squirrel Girl, which made this Doreen one of the strongest candidates for trust on the roster.
Next there was Plan B. While the diplomacy team tried to smooth things over, Stark was also going to plan for the worst. An infiltration team was going to sneak around and plant explosives in case they needed to fight. Now who did he have on hand to lead this team? Another good choice in his opinion: Mockingbird. Barbara was experienced and capable, and Stark felt she could handle a rough assignment like this. And another bonus: She was also someone a skrull had impersonated before. The Skrull-Mockingbird had died sometime ago and they had all thought Barbara was gone. Then she was rescued by the Guardians of the Galaxy and that's when Stark exhumed the corpse they had buried. This meant Barbara was also on his very short list of people who had good odds of not currently being a Skrull.
With the leaders picked out, he filled out the rest of the team. Unfortunately he was out of people who he felt he could trust for sure and had to leave it to chance. Still, he felt he did the best he could under the circumstances. Regardless, this was how they were moving forward. Meanwhile, he was going to hang back and see if he couldn't locate some aliens on the planet.
The group had been called forth and flown up to The Peak where they were sat in a conference room. A secretary handed out dossiers that detailed the team they were on and the mission specifics for said team. After a few minutes, the metallic form of Iron Man walked in and began the debrief.
"Alright, you've all been given you team assignments in the dossiers. Diplomacy Team, you'll head to the lead Kree vessel for the meeting where you'll find out exactly what they're looking for and either try to convince them that it's not here or at least that razing the planet isn't the way to solve the problem. Infiltration Team, you will take a stealth jet to the lead ship and wait on standby as Plan B. If Plan A fails and the Kree still want a fight, then you will start planting the explosives at key points. I've provided some schematics indicating where to do so in your dossiers, Iron Heart, I'll have them uploaded to your harddrive. I'll also start putting together a squad of Avengers as backup in case of emergency. Call them Plan C. Hopefully we can avoid a fight, but be ready for the worst. The Kree are not to be taken lightly. Any questions?" Iron Man said.

REVOLUTIONARIES WAIT for my head on a silver plate JUST A PUPPET ON A LONELY STRING -------------------- Stark breathed a sigh of relief at Reed's answer. The power stone was correct and that was going to be the best evidence that this was the real Reed Richards. He didn't believe for a second that Reed would give up the power stone for anything. Even his family. Because that was what the Illuminati was all about, making the decisions for the greater good. But now that they had both decided to trust each other, they could just go about the business of dealing with this problem.
"I can handle the bulk of the travel work. If you'd like to get in touch with Xavier, maybe the two of you can start working on a way to detect these skrulls? I'll handle the other three. Nothing out of the ordinary for Tony Stark to do the rounds." he said. He certainly wasn't about to suggest that Reed go talk to Namor and it wasn't strange at all for him to check on Antilla or visit Doctor Strange, who was a registered Avenger.
"I can get the Skrull Monkingbird's body to you for study. Xavier has the Skrull Squirrel Girl hidden away, then there's this one. Xavier said Dorreen registered to his mind as Doreen while she was alive and as for scanners..." Stark pointed his left hand at Skrull Sue and scanned her, then held his right palm up where a holographic display appeared displaying the results of the scan. The readout stated that she was Sue Storm and human, despite the fact that this was clearly not accurate.
"They've figured out a way to trick our best tech and our best psychics. In fact the only way to tell seems to be when they die." he said. Talk about a potential witch hunt in the making.

REVOLUTIONARIES WAIT for my head on a silver plate JUST A PUPPET ON A LONELY STRING -------------------- "A secret invasion." Tony replied. An invasion that had been going on for years, at least since they had thought Mockingbird had died, and was slowly building to a head. Reed wasn't wrong that even the Illuminati members weren't immune to the possibility, and maybe it was simply Stark being arrogant, but he had to believe. Believe that the likes of he, Reed, Xavier, Doctor Strange, Black Bolt, and Namor couldn't be replaced without making enough of a scene to expose them. Xavier could contact every X-Man in an instant. Strange was unparalleled with magic. Black Bolt ruled an entire race that had his back and could level mountains with a word. the Atlantian King would likewise be a difficult target and by no means go down quietly. Reed, Stark believed, could come up with something to alert everyone and his intelligence would be hard to replicate. And Stark had an army of old armor and thousands of protocols to prevent unauthorized use. A Skrull getting every single one of them? Unlikely. But the people around them? That was easier.
"Hmm, I have an idea for proof. What do the six of us have? The one thing we swore we would sacrifice everything to keep out of the hands of evil? The thing no one but us knows we have and none of us would give up for anything because of just how dangerous that would be to the entire universe and reality? Which do you have, Reed?" Iron Man asked. If Reed knew the answer, then he'd get both his the fact that Tony was speaking of the Infinity Gems and that his reference to reality as him stating he had the Reality Gem. If he was fake then he wouldn't have any idea what the man was talking about. If their was one thing Stark had faith in, it was that the Illuminati would never give up the location of the gems.

REVOLUTIONARIES WAIT for my head on a silver plate JUST A PUPPET ON A LONELY STRING -------------------- "Yeah." Stark replied to Reed's sarcasm, preferring to ignore the lash out. He knew this would be hard on Reed, especially since they had no idea where the real Sue actually was. Was there even a real Sue? No, Stark couldn't let himself fall that far down the paranoia tree. Both Mockingbird and Squirrel Girl were back after all. Though Squirrel Girl was still a question mark if he was being honest. He gave Reed a moment to collect himself and then the man started explaining. Rifts, huh? Stark shook his head. One issue at a time, but they'd have to come back to that one for sure. Stark's scanners corroborated Reed's story easily enough.
"I doubt it planned to be caught like this." he replied. No, that wouldn't make sense. The dead were putting them on to the Skrulls, that would be counter to their plans. They needed their secrecy and having some of the smartest defenders of Earth on their trail was not a good thing for them. Especially since they seemed to have been working at this for years.
Then again, maybe the plan was to let him know while a fake Reed lead him astray?
"Okay, so here's the situation. I don't know if I can trust you, and if your thinking straight you don't know if you can trust me. But we're going to have to trust someone if we're going to fight against this. So I'm choosing to believe that you're the real Reed Richards." he said, "So my intel is number one: Mockingbird. She returned recently, right? Official word is that she was that she faked her death to go deep undercover on a mission. The reality is that she was rescued by Star Lord's crew from the Skrulls. I exhumed the corpse that was buried. It's a Skrull. Second was reported to me by Charles Xavier. During a sentinel attack on his mansion, Squirrel Girl was killed in action. Except when he found her, it wasn't Doreen. A new Squirrel Girl has popped up too. I have some eyes on her but I don't know if she's real or fake yet. Sue here is the third." he explained. Iron Man stood up, still staring at the Skrull body.
"As I said, we need to trust some people. So here's what I want to do. I want to bring the Illuminati back in on this. We're the least likely to be replaced without causing enough of a stir to be noticed and we need some strong minds working on this behind the scenes. It's our best chance." he said.

REVOLUTIONARIES WAIT for my head on a silver plate JUST A PUPPET ON A LONELY STRING -------------------- "Well, not about this one in particular." Stark replied, sensing his phrasing might not have been the best, "Just noticing a trend." he said. Reed seemed to understand and state exactly what he had been thinking too.
"Exactly." he said, "Which is why I've been keeping quiet on this." Hell, he still wasn't completely sure he could trust Reed, but he had to trust someone with this. Now that it had gotten to three, the pattern was too real. And someone like Sue? Someone who was constantly around people? Reed was on point when he said they could be anyone. Literally anyone. And so far they seemed to be. But who else? How many teams were infiltrated? How many governments? Were the unregistered teams free from this or did they too have spies?
"By the way, what happened here?" Stark asked, flipping his faceplate back down and looking around the ruins of the lab. His scanner went over it, looking for signs of sabotage.
