Dear Avengers,

In your last letter to me Lord Anthony made reference to the Midgardian aphorism 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery'. As I do, sincerely, wish to convey all possible adulation, I am endeavouring to form my own heroic group in your honour. I have thus far recruited the children of that histrionic braggart, Magneto - a speedster and a most talented witch whom I am considering taking as my protege. I am in discussions with another young witch, Billy Kaplan, and your friend Spiderman, with whom I first came in contact through these very letters.

In admiration,
Loki of the New Avengers

DAMN IT TONY.

Mr. Laufeyson:

Corrupting the youth of this community is utterly unacceptable. Spiderman is now residing at Avengers Tower and has been instructed not to exit it in costume without supervision and explicit permission. Do not contact Mr. Kaplan further; I have already spoken to his parents. As to Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, I cannot personally control your actions with regards to them or their actions with regards to you, and I suspect conversation with Mr. Lehnsherr would be unproductive. However, please be informed that any actions undertaken by the three of you in concert shall be considered at minimum Conspiracy with Intent to Engage in Villainous Activity.

I apologise for my brevity, I have been informed that Spiderman is attempting to exit the building through one of the 54th floor windows. No lab time for him for the next week…

Trusting you will comply,
Cpt. America

Note: if anyone has suggestions/requests/ideas for chapters, I would love to hear them!
