Welcome to Flippin Arkansas agents, you have been chosen to help keep order here. This town has a cretain tendency to be a weirdness magnet. With the addition of the former residents of Eureka this place is could end up a mad house real quick.

This is an Epic Crossover RP. Interested in joining? PM @Michale CS or @Gands
 
Welcome to flippin Arkansas, the small town aboveground looks like any midwest burg. People going about their day trying not to be bothered by the weirdness that consistently invades thier lives.
Underneath it's streets lies a cold war underground city originally designed to save high ranking government officials in a post nuclear war. The current residents consist of the reluctant immigrants of Eureka, a city once ran by Global Dynamics a shell corporation of the U.s. goverment. Their job was to basicly back engineer alien tech shield "found" after the occasional Asgardian drunk bender on earth. Now more or less settled in thier new more secure home they do the same but under the watchful eye of shield .The only connections between the two citys was the Global Dynamics headquarters out side town and a few hidden access points around the city.

There are a lot of cities on Earth.
Lots of them are pretty much devoid of things like Superheroes, conspiring villains, invasions from other planets, Gods walking among men, or even half-crazed detectives who wear dirty socks over their faces.​
This place was one of them.

Prior to recent events, well... not a lot happened in Flippin Arkansas. Just a bit over 2,000 people in a county of less than 10,000. Everyone knew everyone else, the rivalries between the local schools were friendly, and everyone could have a laugh and a beer out at the lake at Bull Shoals. In fact, a few internet memes and a few stand up comedian comments were the most exciting things about Flippin, and everyone kinda liked that.




That was until IT appeared.

A rift between the worlds. And it appeared in what the residents thought was a mildly inconvenient place.

In the Flippin Wal-Mart. Way in back in dairy, where they used to keep the drinkable yogurts and kefirs.
At first, it was hard to notice. Just a ripple in the air. Then, Joe from overnight disappeared through it. They got it on camera. Only looked for him when his truck was still out front the next day. No one's seen Joe since.

So, they did what they thought was the logical thing.
They put warning cones around it with caution tape and wrote "Door to Nowhere, please do not cross or take any merchandise inside" on some nice signs they glued to the cones.

Now, they wouldn't have to call the Home Office with that awkward call. Locals knew to avoid the area, and travelers, well they could read couldn't they? If they went through that was on them. They was warned.

After awhile, people started coming out of the rift too. Now, this could have been on the high end of supremely bad, but everyone who came through had one thing in common. They all were shopping at a Wal-Mart when they went through whatever rift they came from at that end.

Now, this was hard to react to. The management thought long and hard about it, and decided.
They simply had to become a 24 hour location, because they had to be ready for whatever shopper rolled in with merchandise.

Oh did I neglect to mention that often these people come through with shopping carts full of Wal-Mart goods? Adjustments had to be made, and UPC codes that gave the cashiers a way to ring up items that don't even exist in this reality were come up with.

The best asset so far has to be Mister Cubbins. Mister Cubbins was the co-manager of his Wal-Mart in his home reality. Everyone adjusted to the fact that he was a talking lion who wore a monacle soon enough. Well, some people give him ribbing about the monacle and say he should get the lazer surgery, but that's all in fun. He's a very efficient manager and all he has to do is smile in just the right way to 'coach' some of his employees.

Of course everyone in Marion County knows about Flippin, as does A.R.M.O.R., who set up an office down the way, just across from the Sonic Drive-In.
But pretty much everyone else hasn't a clue. Now, since the trips through the rifts seem to be one way, Flippin has had to adapt to all the new residents or tourists. It's really been a blessing to the economy. Why, they're talking of opening up that old Smorgasbord that's been closed for five years now.
To sum it up... It's pretty Flippin wonderful up here. Besides, we're only an hour's drive from Branson, Missouri. Less, if you speed a little. We won't tell.
Come on down and see us, won't you?
 
It's a slow day in flippin, people going about thier daily grind. Armor and shield agents on thier post waiting for a new group of agents to help them with thier expanded dutys. Meanwhile deep underground some scientists are doing only god knows what in the name of science.

Once Devil had gotten settled in, Lunella wanted to go explore this town. Not the geeky town below, but the one up above. So, either she got permission or just left... kinda hard to keep you in when you're literally the smartest person around - even here - and ended up at the Dairy Queen. What, she was still 10, and she loved when they held the Blizzards upside down when they brought them to you at the table.

So, she was just kicking back at the Dairy Queen waiting for something interesting to happen...

One Week Earlier, in Alpine, Texas...

It was a layover in the trip from San Francisco to Little Rock, Arkansas... from Little rock it would be a bus trip...

Bob wakes up in the hotel room, and finds two small pinholes on what would be his neck if he had one. Old boss? No, that boss turned to dust at his 'birthday party' hundreds of years ago.

The area smells of... magic and steel. Odd. What does Bob Do?
 
{a week ago in alpine texas }Bob rubs his neck, the sensation of pain is odd to him being nearly indistrucable. He looks around remaining quiet as not to give a clue to who ever dragged him here. Sneaking to the wondow he looks outside ro see where he is.

In Alpine Texas...

The SHIELD train is still outside on the tracks, but he does notice a tall, thin woman talking with a man in front of the bar on the corner. It wouldn't be too odd but for the fact she is wearing a long cloak and her hair looks actually silver, not dyed. Silver.
 
{a week ago in alpine texas} Bob looks at the two figureing how to get past them. He wasn't certain they put him here, but he figured he wouldn't take chances. moving to the back of the motel room he looks to see if he can go out the bathroom window. he would need cover to sneak out.
 
In Alpine...

"You don't have to sneak out." Says the SHIELD agent outside the bathroom window. "You have the run of the town for the next four hours until the other engine arrives to take us to Little Rock." The guy doesn't even seem to notice the tall silver-haired woman, like, at all. And the woman is radiating magic - and something else...
 
Tick walks in the Dairy Queen and takes a deep smell of the business. “Ahh, the sweet smell of cream, cookies, and fragrance smell of a large lizard. What wonders this place brings.”

"Don't forget French Fries. French fries are awesome. Especially dipped in your ice cream." A young African American woman called out from a booth, sitting there with her Blizzard and fries. She wore an odd costume, for a little girl...

Tick is confuse in one moment and then realize something, “ I never in my mind to combine such things; should I? Well, fate favors the bold!” Tick orders chocolate and fries. When he receives his order form the worker in the front counter; he takes one fry and dip it into the ice cream. For the moment of truth, he brings the fry, cover in a tiny amount of chocolate, towards his mouth and bites into it. His eye widen his taste buds are being wash over with the taste of salt and sweetness.”Theses flavors I am tasting are amazing and makes feel that anything can be possible. Thank you little citizen. You most be a most brilliant and talented person.
@Michale CS @Drixe
 
{in alpine}Bob rubs his neck again, and says "did you need to drug me?" in his language. he turns and walks out the front door to get some fresh air. he looks around and heads to an ice cream shop "gelato?". after a short walk he heads inside and order a double banana sherbet, sitting down at a table he relaxes.
 
"Actually, I am the smartest person on the planet." She looked at The Tick and shrugged. "Who are you supposed to be? The antennae are articulated like a tick's..."

@Breach
 
In Alpine...

"We didn't drug you..." The agent calls after him.

When Bob approaches the ice cream shop... well, they don't have what he asked for. They have some 'gourmet' snow cones, but thankfully banana is one of the flavors.

There's that woman again, standing across the street from the snow cone shop. This time, she's leaning against a lampost and looking at a cell phone apparently...

@Drixe
 
{in alpine texas}Bob eats his snowcone and studies her trying to figure out who she is. being in the superhero game only for a bit he didn't know everyone, but he could identify the big players. he stayed in the shop and watched.
 
“That makes so much sense, and to answer your question I am The Tick, the Blue Yonder. I am a super hero defeating evil what ever I see it; on a bridge , island , space, and even a garden.” @Michale CS @Drixe
 
In Alpine...
The woman had a way about her, a strangeness. The way her cloak moved, even when there wasn't much wind, seemed really strange. After a moment, she looked over at Bob, and... winked at him.

@Drixe

In Flippin' at the Dairy Queen...

"Uh... yeah. So, I'm guessing super-intelligence isn't one of your powers. So, then... you look strong, and ticks can jump really far for their size. Am I right?" She went back to eating her food, watching the big lug, and wondering why she felt... she liked him. Normally people that far below her intelligence level bored her to tears, but this guy, there was something about him...

@Breach
 
Bob thought about what to do, it wasn't clear if she was part of shield or not. she had powers that was clear, and it seemed like his escorts couldn't even see her. he shrugged and decided to walk over to her and ask what she was doing there. it could be stupid but hey he's done worse. he walked out of the shop and headed towards her.
 
“You are correct, I am able to leap in very long distances and very strong. I am also very durable, like falling on from orbit or having to compress a expanding muffin in my body. So, tiny citizen what is your name?” He smiles a goofy smile at Moon girl, while eating his fries and ice cream combo.
