Goodbye Log
Who| Anyone that wants in
What| Goodbye log
Where| Legion's Briefing Hall
When| After an award's ceremony at the temporary UPgov building on Earth
Warnings/Notes| N/A
Legion World has been restored, thanks to the Miracle Machine. The Miracle Machine itself has popped off to a new dimension, possibly to the hands of a new Metron. Chronoblivion is dead and so are Its eyes and the remaining Heralds, who exploded to dust in prison once their master was gone.
The awards have been given by Madame President and yes there was a parade.
Time to go home. The Time Trapper left them all with a gift, however, that'll let them return. Strange glowing brands on their bodies that will let them access different dimensions, using T-gates in the Legion's universe as travel hubs, for those that want to want to keep in touch. For those that don't, like the ones that want to run off and make a new criminal life somewhere, they have a chance to grab a T-gate and split before anyone has a chance to stop them, but they'll have to make any goodbyes fast.
Once the Legionnaires walk through the gates to their home universes, their timelines will be locked to the time of the latest person from a particular world -- except for those that are from subtly alternate worlds from each other; they can go home and change the timeline without worrying about changing the past for others. Those walking home to certain death aren't out of luck, either, as the Legionnaires have their ways of faking a death - with fake hologram-disguised bodies, even.
Most of them have retained their powers, though that situation is finicky and strange. In some universes, they'll retain their Legion powers, in some they'll have no powers at all, and for those who had powers back home, they may find they're back to their full powers whenever they're in their home universe.
The native Legionnaires are grateful as anyone could be, especially those trapped for seemingly timeless months in the crystal dimension, who watched the displacees on its crystal walls and actually had hope because of everything they did.
All the displacees have been granted the statue of honorary Legionnaire, and any that feel like they'd like to stay on the team, well...it certainly wouldn't be unwelcome. The Legion needs to get on its feet and the crystal dimension Legionnaires are out of practice and need time to recover. Those that don't want to be Legionnaires but want to settle in the United Planets are welcome to stay as well, and the entire team is to be granted full UP citizenship so that they have dual citizenship with countries in their homeworlds.
Also, surprisingly, the last anon meme that some of them will see went up and instead of cattiness or people judging their coolness, it was filled with one very simple thing: close to thousands of pages of people saying "Thank you, Legionnaires," and giving their heartfelt goodbyes to those that don't intend to stay.
Shock. Awe.
It's the happiest ending they could've asked for. But it is an ending. And now it's time to say goodbye.

[ Really, just put all the best of farm animals together and that's the meal you get. ]
It's not weird. I'm kind of nervous too. Going home means losing control of a lot of things. I don't get to see the people I want, I'm going to have to answer a lot of questions...
Maybe it won't be that bad for you. You were... gone so long. You can treat it like something new. A groove's just another word for a rut.
no subject
[Because the groove the Earth's superheroes are in can't really be described as anything other than a rut. Hell, it's more of a chasm than a rut.]
It's gotta change. Starting now. It'll never be the same home I left, when I left for the war, but it sure as hell needs to change to be a better one than it is.
no subject
Shit, Rich. It's not that bad. What happened when you left - it was a once every hundred years blip.
[ Robbie digs his hands into his pockets and shrugs his shoulders upwards, holding them raised. ]
You can't charge in thinking you're going to get the whole thing to change overnight. Especially if you're living in Wundagore with us. Tony thinks we're manure - it's a half step above shit.
no subject
[He's got hope. Even at his strongest moments of doubt, it's always been there.]
Robbie, I saw the Kree and the Skrulls fighting side by side to save existence. Ronan the Accuser, who hasn't exactly ever been a fan of Earth and humans, said that if I were Kree he'd call me brother.
[He smiles a tiny smile, that one at the corner of his lips that always shows up when he's planning to be just a little stubborn for a very good reason.]
It's not going to change over night but it can change.
And, you know, rebuilding the Nova Corps on Earth'll probably help a little bit with that. I had some good people, Robbie, and if they made it out of the crisis with the Cancerverse they'll probably want to get back to it.
[The smile falls a little.]
And if they didn't, there are other good people out there that wanted to make things better. Probably won't be hard to lure a few. And after I'm done with them, they'll know how to do things right.
[A shrug.]
So, you know, if Tony Stark and everyone else that's fallen into slapfighting don't want to get constantly shown up, maybe they'll get their act together.
[He can't punch them all into falling in line. He can just keep doing things better. And the world deserves that and will be better off for it.]
no subject
I guess I just think it's easier to get warring aliens to work together than Earth heroes to agree on anything for five minutes. I've seen their pizza order, remember?
[ There's a hesitation - he hasn't asked Vance or the rest of the New Warriors, but Robbie's willing to go to the mat on this one.
You can run the Corps out of Wundagore. We've got the room. If you want to, I mean. I know it's ...
[ But there's no concise or funny way to say it's comparatively low rent to the Legion, Nova Corps, or Avengers, so he doesn't. ]
Just promise me you won't give Aracely a helmet.
no subject
A phasing, moving Mountain wouldn't be a bad place for a base.
As for the new New Warriors, how 'bout I don't give them helmets, but I help you guys train 'em? Like I've been training Sam?
My probies and the newbies will all need to learn some of the same things, anyway, regardless of whether or not they pick up a helmet and look to the stars.
no subject
[ He sounds cool about it, but it's hard to keep himself from beaming. They lucked into one of the better HQs the world has to offer. ]
It gets hairy when we 'port in without telling anyone, but I figure it butches the team up. We should probably work on that.
You really want to stick around and help train teams?
[ It's the first part that makes him get all stupid and emotional. He's been doing so well, and it's the guy from his universe who makes everything get a little runny.
Robbie doesn't ask permission, but he goes for the big hug. ]
no subject
[Rich wraps those massive arms around him and hugs him tightly. This feels like it's come full circle somehow. When Robbie'd gotten to the Legion's universe, Rich had hugged him, and things had gotten dribbly then, too. But there'd been so much sadness in it then. They hadn't known if Rich could go home alive.]
[Now they can look to a future that actually exists and it's one that even has the better parts of the past - the best parts of the past, in fact. And also some good things that will be new. They'd faced a lot of hardship that'd had to be coped with, and pain that'd needed to be dealt with, but they'd still gotten over and gotten here.]
Yeah. I figure any time I have to go up to space, you and Vance have experience, you can take over.
[Rich finally lets go, hand still on Robbie's shoulder.]
I want to give the new guys what we never had. When the Avengers turned us down at the door. Hell, if they ever struggle with the kind of stuff we can't help with, we could even ask if Dr. Ry'kerr's willing to take on some cross-world appointments, if they decide they want it.
We had to find our own way, but they don't have to. Even beyond our team, none of the new kids should ever have to anymore. We ought to keep an eye out, ask them how they're doing the times we see 'em. Make sure they're getting what they need.
Not many other people are gonna be doing it.
