[ She puckers her lips after following suit, turning the glass upside down on the table. Natalia saw the reaction at using 'little spider' for her other self, but she doesn't pursue it. With Natasha and the others, they're terms of endearment, each word specifically chosen for those she cares about. ]
How many people do we want to bring on board with this?
I expect nothing less. Pearce too, probably. Kenney is a tech genius, but so's Stark. Aiden could vouch for Ray, you could vouch for Tony, so it'd be a matter of which man is the wiser choice, if we even can use their skill set.
[ Somehow use the Network, any radio or television transmissions if those exist in the suburbs. ]
When it comes to the healing factor, that's where Wilson, Odinson, Barnes, Rogers, and I come in, but I realize that there are others here; supernatural others, magical others. I just haven't cast my circle that widely.
[ It dawns on the redhead that said circle is mostly male, save for Natalia and possibly Waverly. ]
Tony just got here. I'm hesitant to drag him in immediately.
[He also would have one of the biggest egos to wrangle, it goes without saying.]
But he'd probably want to be involved. So there's that to consider.
[Which brings them to two other recent arrivals...]
Wanda also just recently arrived. I don't know what state she's or if she's ready to be dragged into the conversation, but if we need a hitter. [By which she means muscle, not a killer.] Not just her, but Danvers.
[A pause, because that's not a name that's come up before in their conversations. Not that she remembers.]
[ Her points are Natalia's concerns voiced, and she confirms that. ]
I agree, which is why I'd go with Kenney over Stark if ever that path needs treading. Danvers is absolutely someone we want around. I can't think of a time when she ever went dark.
[ Which leaves the Witch. ]
But Maximoff...I can't trust her. I have no idea what yours is capable of, or what she's done to your world, but the Wanda from my universe is dangerous and destructive. She once altered the reality of the entire universe because of a mental breakdown. She depowered mutants, and is one of the very few things that can stand a chance against the Phoenix Force.
[ Nat shakes her head, uncomfortable with the idea of bringing the chaotic witch into the fold. ]
She's definitely the most powerful of us. If he hadn't already had five of the infinity stones, she would have been able to defeat Thanos on her own... But I think that's more than a little beyond her scope.
[At least in Natasha's experience.]
I trust her, but I can respect if that's not something we can put on the table at this point.
It'd still like to have someone with a little more power behind us. Thor is an option, but I'm not sure how much he trusts me at the moment.
I know you would. Mostly this is just a matter of needing to suck it up and face him.
[The fact she's fairly sure he'll be the bigger person if they talk a little more. Considering the number of times Loki has tried to kill him, Thor has to be fairly forgiving?]
I'll try to catch him during practice. He's been playing football here. Might as well take advantage of it.

Barnes will want to be involved.
[And he'll know how to keep his voice where it needs to be.]
Otherwise, we can put together a list. I can think of a few others.

Carol. I just assume you have a Captain Marvel.

[ Just because Talia's Scarlet Witch is unhinged doesn't necessarily mean Tasha's is.
LOL WandaVision]What's going on with Thor? Anything I can help with there?

Well, at least I have one more weapon for the fight.

Hopefully it won't be too long before you get to try those out on Barbas.
