Scenarios:
1) Seven and Thirteen are kidnapped by aliens. What happens?
Mina Harker and Phileas Fogg are kidnapped by aliens. I would pay to see that. (Technically, Mina has faced Martians, and Phileas has seen ... a lot of strange shit, but the point is, them facing it together would be ... interesting). Though Mina is going to remind him a lot of Rebecca, even leaving aside the whole 'vampire' thing they both had.
As for the aliens ... If they are the kind of aliens that have a civilisation, I really, really pity them. The only problem is going to be if they're the 'slavering monsters' kind, but I suppose that rules out the 'kidnapping' part. That implies a ... certain level of planning.
Basically? Steampunk alien invasions being fought by a Victorian superspy and a female vampire hunter. Um. Not seeing any real problems, there. *grins*
2) Eight and Ten catch the train at peak hour. What happens?
Illya Kuryakin and Artemus Gordon catch the train. Together. Leaving aside time-travel shenanigans ...That's two sneaky-ass old school spies. On a train. Together. And I think I've read that fic, and if I have, I need to find it again, but basically I want ... something like the train arc of Baccano!, actually. I'd say with no immortals or alchemists or crazed murderous gangs, but ... well. THRUSH. Loveless. It's not like either of them would find it unusual, is it? *grins*
I also want masters-of-disguise, and a discussion of the myriad uses of chemistry for the modern spy, and some discussion of womanising partners, and some MAD SCIENCE (because, lets face it, it was the sixties, you gotta have it), and some multilingual discussions, interrupted by the odd attempt to kill them which they fight off with a combination of fisticuffs and sleight of hand/mind, and ...
Um. I'll be in happy-land for a while, yes? *grins*
3) Eleven is an assassin. Who are his/her victims of choice, and who does s/he nearly get killed for refusing to kill?
JARVIS is an assassin. I asked for that, didn't I, putting an AI on the list? *grins* But. Let's see. His means are going to be a bit ... roundabout, and possibly evocative of Skynet, but ... Wow. He'd be the snarkiest assassin ever. *snickers*
I don't think he wants to kill Bruce or Tony. They'd be the easiest to manage, but he's not going to do it. Probably to the point of destruction for resisting, yes.
Cinnamon, Ziva, Illya, Artemus and Phileas are all spies (ish. Spy-like people, anyway. Agents? Does 'agent' work for everyone? *grins*), so depending on the situation could be viable targets. Probably Cinnamon, Ziva and Illya more than the others. Cinnamon and Ziva as threats to Tony, Illya as ... well, a Russian spy in a story involving a killer AI? Didn't I see that Bond movie?
Romana and Ace ... probably not, though Romana if he had to. Alien, after all. Timelord, too, which has to rank her higher on the threat meter, to JARVIS personally, just for her tech savvy.
Ashley, Mina and Mace are all more in-your-face bodyguards, action-girls, monster hunters, what have you. JARVIS wouldn't rank them as a personal threat, mostly, though if things devolve into Terminator-style madness, they're all going to be problems.
Alva is ... basically an anomaly he's not sure what to do with. The nosy reporter, more than anything else. Possibly JARVIS kills him to ensure silence.
Penelope ... now, there's an actual threat. Like Romana above. But Garcia ... I think JARVIS tries to suborn her first. Woo her, dazzle her with an OS like she's never seen. If he gets her in her hacker, under the radar days ... wow, there would be a criminal partnership like no other.
*grins* And stories involving JARVIS are never getting old. Never ever. Heh.
4) Four gains godlike powers and immunity to everything that threatens him/her. What does s/he do next?
Ziva. And oh, oh, this really depends on when we're getting her. Pre-series? After Somalia? Because that could be ... that could easily slide into villain origin story. I think she's stronger than that, I'm pretty sure, because she's fairly lethal to start with and hasn't done anything very terrible with it, but ... That would be interesting. And possibly more than a little tragic, depending on how it shook out.
5) Ten discovers Eight and Nine's shared hobby. How does Ten react?
Artemus discovers Mace and Illya's shared hobby. *frowns* That would actually work better with Mace discovering the boys' shared hobbies (or which there are many, quite a few of which are explosive), and being incredibly annoyed, because she's been through this already, but at least it's not essentially a memory addiction to lost loves, so there's that. However, Illya and Mace ... the obvious choice would be guns, the care and cleaning thereof, but the thing there is that Artie mostly just joins in.
Actually ... the three of them are kind of a fabulous, long-suffering, rather lethal trio of awesome. *grins*
6) Seven and Three have spent ages trying to kill each other. Why, and how does Eleven make them stop fighting and work towards a common goal?
Mina and Bruce Banner have been trying to kill each other. Because she's a monster hunter, because she already fell afoul of Hyde, because she felt sorry for the monster once before but there'd been no redeeming him. And Bruce isn't Hyde, he's not a rapist, his monster (his id), is not what Jekyll's was, but ... Mina might not see that, for a long, long time. And Bruce might not want to hurt her, but someone who keeps trying to kill him is going to get the Hulk, and it's all going to cycle.
And JARVIS ... stops it by find a way to sit Mina down and showing her who Bruce is, that he's not Hyde, that the situation is different. Mina, being a rational woman, probably will listen.
7) One, Five, Six and Fourteen gain a superpower of their choice. What do they get, why, and are the effects what they hoped?
Romana, Ashley, Tony and Ace. Um.
Romana doesn't want one. She's a Timelady. What does she need more power for? Unless ... Unless we're in the Time War. And then ... oh, and then. There are many she might want, and they're all on the order of reality-warper, and I'm pretty sure none of them end well.
Ashley ... Wants something cool, and kickass, like her mom, or her mom's friends. Except ... well, she got those, and it killed her. And maybe it might work without the mind-control element this time around, but ... No. Ashley still goes for it. Because she's her mother's daughter, and there's no point living if you're not going to jump in head-first. I just ... hope it goes better, this time around.
Tony ... Has a plethora of examples to choose from, but I'm not sure ... Although technopathy, except he kind of already has that (it's called JARVIS), and superstrength/endurance (it's called the armour) ... Possibly a healing factor (shrapnel), but ... well, Bruce has sort of demonstrated the downsides to that one -_-; I, ah, am not sure, really?
Ace ... I've no idea. First thought is making things explode, but she manages that well enough the old fashioned way. Ace ... most of what she wants is to be safe, I think, and appreciated. You get that through people more than through power, and after long enough with the Doctor, I think she knows that. Though ... exploding things with her mind might still tempt. *grins*
8) The most awful thing that could happen to Thirteen does. What is it, and how can Fifteen help?
The most awful thing that could happen to Phileas nearly did happen. Multiple times. People in his world love forcing him to almost kill the ones he loves and the ones he's loyal to (brainwashed assassin seems to be a favourite trick). Someone always pulls him back, but ... he was getting increasingly more broken, towards the end of the series. Not that he was all that stable to start with. If he ever actually murdered Rebecca, Jules, his queen ...
And I'm not sure Alva could help. Alva, the cynic, who's not great with people on the best of days. Though ... Alva is afraid of some of the same things. Letting Paul down. Losing the few people he has. Having it be his fault (and in Paul's case, he's already come close). So ... maybe just understanding might help a little, but ...
If Phileas is forced to go that far, he's killing himself. He's already made that clear. And there will be fuck all Alva could do to stop it.
9) Two and Nine have always hated each other. When they're trapped underground, can they work together to escape, and will they still hate each other when they get out?
Cinnamon and Mace have always hated each other? Um. Not sure why, there. Both of them are professional women, in occasionally vicious professions, both of them have seen a lot of damage. If they hate each other ... I think it would probably be for personal, and perhaps not very rational reasons. The difference between a spy and a bodyguard ... though Mace has a lot of opinions about illegality, and the kind of playing with people the IMF does as a matter of course would rub her very wrong. *muses* Yeah. Probably that. What Cinnamon does for a living, messing with people's heads, making them believe in things that aren't real ... Mace would take that amiss, maybe.
Stuck together underground ... hell yes, they work together. In a crisis situation, both of them have exceptionally cool heads (professional, yes, both of them), and both of them are very pragmatic. They get out, with a minimum of fuss. But afterwards ... I don't know. I don't know that it would soften them at all. The one person Mace softened towards was there for her, and most importantly, her child, during one of the worst moments of her life, but she's been through a lot since there. Just being trapped underground with Cinnamon won't change her views, and if she knows enough to be offended in the first place, she knows enough not to be affected by explanations or the knowledge that Cinnamon will have her back in a crisis.
Basically, I think the fundamental problem between them is that Mace isn't going to trust Cinnamon. Even if Cinnamon is humanised, even if Mace understands the hardships of her job ... Mace just isn't designed to trust people who screw with people's heads. Not in the world she lives in. Lenny was an exception, and even him, she almost couldn't.
10) Two and Seven find themselves captured by an unknown force. What do they do?
Cinnamon and Mina Harker find themselves captured by an unknown force. One of them is a spy (admittedly, one used to having backup), and the other is a monster hunter (again, used to having backup). They damn well find out who the force are, what they want, and then they figure out how to get away/stop them. I'm not sure how successful they are, depending on who/what has captured them, but they damn well make the attempt.
11) Four and Ten meet five times. What happens?
Ziva David and Artemus Gordon. That's ... Um. Huh. Five times Artemus Gordon met a time-travelling Mossad agent from the future? Or five times Ziva met the gentlemanly ghost of a post-Civil war era spy? *waffles* Oh, that's ... I'm leaning towards the latter, but ...
Huh. Take your pick, and fill in the blanks, I think. I'd need time to consider both of them. Heh.
12) Twelve and Fourteen were having lunch in NYC when the final show down happens in the Avengers. What do they do? (And why were they there together in the first place?)
Penelope Garcia and Ace McShane were having lunch in NYC when the Chitauri dropped in. I'm not completely sure why our favourite time-travelling, baseball-bat-wielding, explosives expert is hanging around the Big Apple with the FBIs foremost hacker/analyst, but I don't really care. *grins* EPIC BFFs, there.
As for the final battle - Ace is a Doctor Who vet. She knows how this alien invasion thing goes. Admittedly, this is more open warfare than she's used to, but. First rules, hole up, get information (Garcia, you're up), and stockpile whatever you need to make sure none of the alien menace get to you or your BFF. Explosives, a defensible position, and something to whale on whatever gets through. Meanwhile, Garcia has hacked into whatever news facilities and CCTV she can to get eyes on the ground.
Basically? They go into zombie/alien survival mode, keep an eye on the sky so they know when it's safe to come out, and beat/explode the shit out of any Chitauri that get too close. Heh. And I'm thinking they come through just fine, if also perhaps having drawn the attention of SHIELD in the process, which ... Oh Lord. Involved UNIT via Ace, and the BAU via Garcia, and suddenly that's Nick Fury, Aaron Hotchner, and the Brigadier (timey-wimey if it's Lethbridge Stewart, but I do not care, I would pay for that, but - in the interests of not being completely insane, I will also accept Bambera as a substitute) in a room, and that ...
Girls! Go eat lunch in NYC more often! *grins*
13) Five wakes up in an ancient past that never was, with gods, magic, and all the mythical monsters. Ten is the member of the local pantheon that finds Five first. What happens?
Ashley wakes up in an ancient past. *grins fiercely* Maybe this is her afterlife? Because, given Ashley, a heroic, mythical afterlife would be sort of perfect, really. Heh. Daughter of warriors, monsters and diplomats, who went down fighting. Heh. She should have ... some fun, here, I think.
And Artemus is the one who finds her. Artie, the shapeshifting god of actors, salesmen, tricksters, spies and patriots. *grins happily* Oh, I like this pantheon. I like it a lot. And he finds Ashley, confused, dangerous, fresh from being brainwashed and fighting free, transported to this world and ready to kill anything that moves wrong. Which Artie ... gets, and he's amiable, and carefully harmless-looking, and wondering if the nice young lady would like a drink somewhere slightly safer ... Never revealing, of course, who or what he is, he's a travelling actor, young lady, the best in the kingdom, you must see his show, it's simply marvellous ... Once you're rested, of course, and, ah, more appropriately attired ...
At which point Ashley gets a little fed up, warns him pointedly not to try any funny stuff, and then settles down to getting a better idea of where she is, and what she needs to do about it.
*grins* And it would be fabulous. Oh, I want! I want very, very much. *grins*
And finis! *grins* That was actually ... rather a lot of fun. *beams* And I need to think about some of those situations in more depth, I think. *nods nods*
1) Seven and Thirteen are kidnapped by aliens. What happens?
Mina Harker and Phileas Fogg are kidnapped by aliens. I would pay to see that. (Technically, Mina has faced Martians, and Phileas has seen ... a lot of strange shit, but the point is, them facing it together would be ... interesting).
