Experiment 01⁚ The New Avengers

I think this is the first time I've done a story with chapters about these things…So I hope you like it. P.S. Here will also appear some new characters…such as Gail Richard…former agent ( S.H.I.E.L.D.)…troubled past…Bucky's girlfriend…and with Nathaniel Connor….Val calling the new Taskmaster….his anti-hero name is Ghost Agent.

Chapter I

It all starts with a mission that the team received from Valentina. Everything had to be quick, so only Yelena, Bucky, John, Ava and Alexei were there, while only Bob, Nathaniel and Gail remained at the tower, of course they checked on the team through their monitors and the headsets that the team had.

Gail ⁚ Okay team, based on the information we received from Val and I'm surprised she helped us with this, there is some stolen data related to something top secret.

Bucky ⁚ We understand, doll. I'm glad you're helping us. How are you feeling?

Gail ⁚ Still like that, nothing has changed. I feel like I can't help you with this.

Bucky ⁚ Don't say that! Where is the agent who fought side by side with me?

Gail was smiling. Bucky might not be able to see it, but she was glad he cared. Everything was broken when Walker's voice broke the conversation...

John ⁚ If you could finish your sweet talk on this line, we have a mission to complete. You two can continue in your bedroom. (he said sarcastically annoyingly)

Ava ⁚ I can't believe I'm saying this (sighs). I agree with Walker.

Yelena ⁚ Me too, and I don't really agree with anyone sometimes.

Alexei ⁚ I'm sorry comrades, but it's true. (he said sighing in his Russian accent)

Gail turned off everyone's microphones so she couldn't hear them, but instead she heard Nathaniel giggling on the couch next to Bob who was reading a book. He was also supposed to go with the team but hadn't left.

Gail ( turned her gaze to him ) ⁚ Why didn't you go with them on the mission, I hear?

Nathaniel ⁚ I had to go home, because I have a better life than everyone here, to see my mom, but she canceled because of my dad….

Gail ⁚ What happening?

Nathaniel ⁚ Well…..let's say dad is trying to deal with a beehive in a tree, but he realizes that they weren't bees and were actually wasps and he falls off the ladder and…..

Bob ( Which looked up from the book, looked at him ) ⁚ Auch! And is it okay?

Nathaniel ⁚ Yes, he's in the hospital but he can't sit on his ass anymore, so…..yeah…

Gail tries not to think about what she said, turns to the monitor and turns the microphones back on.

Gail ⁚ What's the mission status, team?

Yelena ⁚ I arrived at the indicated place, but it's strange…

Gail ⁚ What is?

Ava ⁚ The data Val gave us was supposed to take us to some kind of control room but instead it took us to a rather empty bunker. It reminds me of when we all first met.

Gail was puzzled. How could that data take them somewhere that wasn't right? Nathaniel, hearing everything, also approached the monitor and checked the information.

Nathaniel ⁚ Impossible! It shows us that it must be here…only if…

Gail's eyes widen as she realizes what's happening in the middle. She turns to the screen.

Gail ⁚ GET OUT OF THERE NOW!

John ⁚ Why?

Bucky ⁚ Gail, what's going on?

Suddenly the bunker doors slam shut. Alexei tries to force it open… but it was locked tightly.

Ava ⁚ Come on, I'll try.

Ava tried to go through the door, but the door had given her a shock that shocked her and made her fall to the floor.Bucky goes to pick her up from the floor and check if she's okay.

John ⁚ This is not good.

Gail ( continue through their switches ) ⁚ This is a trap! You have to get out of there.

She hadn't even finished what she was supposed to say when white smoke with a strange smell came out from under the bunker door, making everyone dizzy and coughing.

Yelena ( cough ) ⁚ Try....for...don't breathe....( cough )..

John ( with sarcasm, but still coughing ) ⁚ This is what we do...( cough )

Bucky ( cough ) ⁚ Resist!

But none of them lasted 2 minutes as the first to fall was Alexei who had previously said he was holding on like a Russian bear, after that Ava and John fell, followed by Bucky and then Yelena. In her helmet Nathaniel's voice could be heard shouting.

Nathaniel ⁚ Yelena! Yelena! You hear me!? (he quickly looked at Gail who was typing quickly on the tablet ) Doesn't answer. Neither do the others.........

Bob also came closer to see what had happened. Gail, agitated, tried to save the data to find out where they were. But suddenly, their data on the screen had disappeared, their headphones had broken and there was no sound.

Bob ⁚ What happening? They are ok?

Gail ⁚ Hard to say, Bob. We don't have their signals anymore, their switches aren't working, we just know they're somewhere Val had given us information about a possible theft that apparently was false and didn't even exist.

Nathaniel ⁚ We have to go there and save them, they might be in danger. Bob, call Valentina and have her come to the tower and explain this to us. Gail and I are going there.

There was no need to inform Gail that she was heading towards a jet. Nathaniel was following her and Bob was trying to find Val. He was worried and agitated but it was because his friends who he now considered his family (especially John) were in danger.

To be continued.....

[erikiara80]

I think Bob's first scene is about Hopper and the prequel.

Agent Orange ruined Hopper's life, sot it's not even color theory. He is associated with that color in many scenes. Including this one.

The first thing Bob says in the show: 'I'm not a big fan of orange'. Back in 2017 we didn't know about Agent Orange, but now we do! This is hilarious

In this scene Bob mentions high school and says that he feels like a teenager. So, this is connected to 1959. Also, Hopper calls him Bob the Brain (old habit, he says) and I'm sure he started when they were kids. So I get that Bob is not a big fan of him.

By the way, it's curious that Bob is a main character in the prequel, but Jon and Will's father, who's still alive, is not. Who follows my blog knows my theory about Hopper and Lonnie. It's like there were three boys who liked Joyce, but the only one Joyce didn't date is the boy she actually loves. Unless... she did date Hopper at some point (original timeline?) and maybe even had two kids with him, but the lab and/or a time loop separated their family. And now we only know about her relationship with the other two guys.

But who knows, this could be a Lily and James Potter situation, in which Joyce didn't want to be with Hopper when she was young, but then fell in love with him.

Shippingfangirl013 and I also noticed that many details here are hints about S4.

California, Open Close, two Lady Victoria, Gas Lite (Gaslight), Christmas (It's like the christmas lights. When Will was in the UD lights came to life), the word Rich (probably a reference to Richard Brenner) and the number 100 (001)

Here Bob points to the pumpkin basket, but it seems that he's pointing to the two 10s. And there's also a 10 behind him. My theory is that 10, including the lab kid, actually represents 01.

There are so many references to dark reflections and mirrors in the show, so maybe 10 and 01 represent two timelines, and one is the dark reflection of the other. In another scene, when Bob mentions high school again, we see the number 40 on the door, but reverse: 04. Imo, a reference to the members of the Hopper family: Jim, Joyce, Will and Jane. Yeah, unfortunately, I think Jon is really Lonnie's kid. That's why they always says that he's good at taking care of himself. That he feels like he's alone

So yeah, I think that Ten represents 01 and that's why they've been mentioning that number since the very first episode, connecting it to 11 and 12. Because it's always been about Henry/Edward, Eleven and Will.

(screenshots by heroesbyler)

Even in the tweets

Maybe this is why Ten seemed so important in the trailers and in 4x01. For months I wondered why they focused so much on that kid.

He's not important, after the first scene he never speaks again. Then I remembered that this is what I thought about 13 and 12. They don't seem important, but for some reason they're included in many shots with El and Henry. So 13 could be a reference to Fringe's character Olivia, who is Subject 13 (here the post about 13 and Byler), 12 represents Will, and Ten represents 01. Another possible hint: the first thing Brenner says to Ten is that the Magic 8 Ball is his favorite toy. 8->Kali, who is mentioned by Henry, and made Axel see black spiders.

Working on this theory. There's a lot to say!

In the little over a year since his February 2024 appointment as Creative Director at Gap Inc., Zac Posen has transformed an American heritage brand, most associated with carefully folded khakis and ‘90s mall culture, into a red carpet juggernaut and fashion forerunner. But that wasn’t the goal, per se. Like most great ideas, GapStudio came from a place of why not? “There was no plan for this,” Posen tells me over an iced tea on the 15th floor of the brand’s downtown office space. Instead, Posen says he was hired as a sort of “Willy Wonka” for the company—someone to push creativity from within, spearheading innovation and experimenting with what it means to wear Gap.  Gap President and CEO Richard Dickson, the man behind Barbie's cultural resurgence at Mattel, wanted to see what would happen when you give a creative force the keys to the chocolate factory. And though Posen, who works across Old Navy, Banana Republic, and Gap, says he spent his first few months getting to know the ins and outs of the business, he also found time to play.  Now, those months of hard work and play are coming to fruition: GapStudio, a new Posen-designed collection within a collection for Gap, launches April 3, delivering atelier craftsmanship at an under-$300 price point. Zac Posen shot by Mario Sorrenti for Gap. Mario Sorrenti Posen says, “We had this amazing moment where we had an opportunity to attend the Met Gala, and [wondered], should Gap be represented there?” The answer, of course, was why not? But making it happen required the best in the biz. So, Posen “assembled a team of artisans and amazing craftspeople” to build a custom piece for Da'Vine Joy Randolph. The resulting gown, a multi-layered, corseted confection made from Gap denim, landed the brand on best-dressed roundups and evening-wear mood boards across the industry. Shortly thereafter, the designer got a call from celebrity stylist Erin Walsh, asking if he’d consider creating a custom Gap shirtdress for her client, Anne Hathaway. “Literally, the day after the Met, I started cutting up our white shirt, draping and rebuilding it,” he remembers. “And within two weeks, we were fitting it on her, and she was wearing it.”  Zac Posen and Da'Vine Joy Randolph at the Met Gala. Getty Images To say the look went viral is an understatement. Everyone, and I mean everyone, wanted a piece of Hathaway’s off-the-shoulder poplin dress. Again, Posen and his team asked, why not? and decided to produce the piece en masse. “We got it to market really quickly, and it sold out within hours,” he says, launching the piece online last summer and creating a Gap by Zac Posen brand signature.  The success of Hathaway's creation was the moment the GapStudio team realized “there's something to this,” says Posen. Other celebrity dressing moments followed: from Demi Moore in a Gap-designed motorcycle jacket on her press tour for The Substance to Timothée Chalamet at an Oscars dinner in custom Bob Dylan-inspired Gap duds. All this proof of Gap’s red carpet success begged yet another question: Why not release a full GapStudio collection?  Alex Consani, Imaan Hammam, and Anok Yai model for Gap Studio. Mario Sorrenti That’s precisely what's next in store. Designed by the same team that cut Randolph’s bustier and draped Hathaway’s poplin, GapStudio Collection 01 harnesses the attention to detail and meticulous construction of the brand’s red carpet atelier for the Gap customer. There’s an Anne-inspired shirtdress, this time in khaki and polka dots for summer, and a fitted denim midi that evokes the hourglass silhouette of their Met Gala creation. (Both of which, Posen is betting, will sell out.) But when the designer takes me on a tour of the physical Gap Studio in New York, it’s not the assortment's commercial viability that’s most striking. In person, it is the carefully considered fit, stellar tailoring, and thoughtful details that stand out. For example, GapStudio's denim bralette features artful seams and a scalloped edge that’s easy to miss just looking at a linesheet. The pleated minis are both substantial and soft with a weight and stretch that would make you think they’re worth 3x the under-$300 price point. And the deceptively simple slip dresses aren’t just cut on the bias, they’re stitched together from multiple pieces of fabric, creating an ultra-flattering hourglass that’s impossible to find these days (at a mall or otherwise), despite the trend's popularity. Imaan Hammam models an orange slipdress by Gap Studio. Mario Sorrenti These little flourishes are all part of the Posen charm—after all, the designer became a household name for his custom evening wear—and the Posen process. In a spare moment on our walkthrough, the designer drifted over to a colleague draping fabric on a mannequin at his cutting station, touching and spinning the nascent shirt design to find the absolute best possible way to construct it. He can't help but create with intention. “I have a lot of years of experience in production, within my own brand and within secondary brands, working for Brooks Brothers,” explains Posen of how he’s able to deliver hand-crafted quality at the Gap. “I kind of know where things can be pushed.” He’s also pushing on the trend front at Gap, offering more youthful pieces with GapStudio than what you’d typically find at the store. Hemlines are shorter (see the bloomer-inspired bubble skirts with built-in shorts) and crops are tighter. Collection 01 was concocted as a “dream wardrobe” for today’s modern shopper, who likes to mix and match, who dresses high and low. “Mall culture’s back. Online shopping is back. And, I know how the girlies and the mamas and the sisters shop today. Like, we're cross-shopping,” Posen says, citing his sisters, friends, and mom as inspiration. “It's that simplification of form, purpose, and meaning: The perfect khaki jacket, an amazing trench coat, the great-fitting body-con denim dress, white shirting,” he adds. Imaan Hammam, Alex Consani, and Anok Yai model for Gap Studio. Mario Sorrenti These are the new icons Posen has lifted from the Gap paintbox, elevating and updating as he goes.

In the little over a year since his February 2024 appointment as Creative Director at Gap Inc., Zac Posen has transformed an American heritage brand, most associated with carefully folded khakis and ‘90s mall culture, into a red carpet juggernaut and fashion forerunner. But that wasn’t the goal, per se. Like most great ideas, GapStudio came from a place of why not? “There was no plan for this,” Posen tells me over an iced tea on the 15th floor of the brand’s downtown office space. Instead, Posen says he was hired as a sort of “Willy Wonka” for the company—someone to push creativity from within, spearheading innovation and experimenting with what it means to wear Gap.  Gap President and CEO Richard Dickson, the man behind Barbie's cultural resurgence at Mattel, wanted to see what would happen when you give a creative force the keys to the chocolate factory. And though Posen, who works across Old Navy, Banana Republic, and Gap, says he spent his first few months getting to know the ins and outs of the business, he also found time to play.  Now, those months of hard work and play are coming to fruition: GapStudio, a new Posen-designed collection within a collection for Gap, launches April 3, delivering atelier craftsmanship at an under-$300 price point. Zac Posen shot by Mario Sorrenti for Gap. Mario Sorrenti Posen says, “We had this amazing moment where we had an opportunity to attend the Met Gala, and [wondered], should Gap be represented there?” The answer, of course, was why not? But making it happen required the best in the biz. So, Posen “assembled a team of artisans and amazing craftspeople” to build a custom piece for Da'Vine Joy Randolph. The resulting gown, a multi-layered, corseted confection made from Gap denim, landed the brand on best-dressed roundups and evening-wear mood boards across the industry. Shortly thereafter, the designer got a call from celebrity stylist Erin Walsh, asking if he’d consider creating a custom Gap shirtdress for her client, Anne Hathaway. “Literally, the day after the Met, I started cutting up our white shirt, draping and rebuilding it,” he remembers. “And within two weeks, we were fitting it on her, and she was wearing it.”  Zac Posen and Da'Vine Joy Randolph at the Met Gala. Getty Images To say the look went viral is an understatement. Everyone, and I mean everyone, wanted a piece of Hathaway’s off-the-shoulder poplin dress. Again, Posen and his team asked, why not? and decided to produce the piece en masse. “We got it to market really quickly, and it sold out within hours,” he says, launching the piece online last summer and creating a Gap by Zac Posen brand signature.  The success of Hathaway's creation was the moment the GapStudio team realized “there's something to this,” says Posen. Other celebrity dressing moments followed: from Demi Moore in a Gap-designed motorcycle jacket on her press tour for The Substance to Timothée Chalamet at an Oscars dinner in custom Bob Dylan-inspired Gap duds. All this proof of Gap’s red carpet success begged yet another question: Why not release a full GapStudio collection?  Alex Consani, Imaan Hammam, and Anok Yai model for Gap Studio. Mario Sorrenti That’s precisely what's next in store. Designed by the same team that cut Randolph’s bustier and draped Hathaway’s poplin, GapStudio Collection 01 harnesses the attention to detail and meticulous construction of the brand’s red carpet atelier for the Gap customer. There’s an Anne-inspired shirtdress, this time in khaki and polka dots for summer, and a fitted denim midi that evokes the hourglass silhouette of their Met Gala creation. (Both of which, Posen is betting, will sell out.) But when the designer takes me on a tour of the physical Gap Studio in New York, it’s not the assortment's commercial viability that’s most striking. In person, it is the carefully considered fit, stellar tailoring, and thoughtful details that stand out. For example, GapStudio's denim bralette features artful seams and a scalloped edge that’s easy to miss just looking at a linesheet. The pleated minis are both substantial and soft with a weight and stretch that would make you think they’re worth 3x the under-$300 price point. And the deceptively simple slip dresses aren’t just cut on the bias, they’re stitched together from multiple pieces of fabric, creating an ultra-flattering hourglass that’s impossible to find these days (at a mall or otherwise), despite the trend's popularity. Imaan Hammam models an orange slipdress by Gap Studio. Mario Sorrenti These little flourishes are all part of the Posen charm—after all, the designer became a household name for his custom evening wear—and the Posen process. In a spare moment on our walkthrough, the designer drifted over to a colleague draping fabric on a mannequin at his cutting station, touching and spinning the nascent shirt design to find the absolute best possible way to construct it. He can't help but create with intention. “I have a lot of years of experience in production, within my own brand and within secondary brands, working for Brooks Brothers,” explains Posen of how he’s able to deliver hand-crafted quality at the Gap. “I kind of know where things can be pushed.” He’s also pushing on the trend front at Gap, offering more youthful pieces with GapStudio than what you’d typically find at the store. Hemlines are shorter (see the bloomer-inspired bubble skirts with built-in shorts) and crops are tighter. Collection 01 was concocted as a “dream wardrobe” for today’s modern shopper, who likes to mix and match, who dresses high and low. “Mall culture’s back. Online shopping is back. And, I know how the girlies and the mamas and the sisters shop today. Like, we're cross-shopping,” Posen says, citing his sisters, friends, and mom as inspiration. “It's that simplification of form, purpose, and meaning: The perfect khaki jacket, an amazing trench coat, the great-fitting body-con denim dress, white shirting,” he adds. Imaan Hammam, Alex Consani, and Anok Yai model for Gap Studio. Mario Sorrenti These are the new icons Posen has lifted from the Gap paintbox, elevating and updating as he goes. This is not your average Gap trench coat (or shirt, or body-con dress), though. “I have to give product integrity. It’s just in me,” he says. Even the brand’s belt assortment (if you could call it that) of corset waists is intentional in its form and function. “It was like carving an instrument, building a violin and shape,” he says of the design process. “[It had to have] the right arch, the right bottom shape and enough curvature.” This is not to say that brand heritage isn’t present in GapStudio.

Bob Moriarty is the founder of http://www.321gold.com/ I have been a follower of his for over twenty years and he has become a friend of mine. Taken from Wikipedia: "Robert J. Moriarty (born September 9, 1946) is an American Marine F-4B fighter pilot who holds the record as the youngest naval aviator (at age 20) in the Vietnam War, achieving the rank of captain in the Marines at age 22.[citation needed] Before leaving military service in 1970, he recorded 824 combat missions. He holds 14 international aviation records including the record for flight time between New York to Paris in two different categories.[5][7] In 1984, at age 37, he was in the headlines for flying, on March 31 at 11:20, between the pillars of the Eiffel Tower aboard a Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft. He was part of a team entered in the Paris to Libreville air race but an engine failure south of Portugal forced him to drop out. After repairing the plane, and encouraged by Richard Fenwic, he turned his attention to the Eiffel Tower.[8] When asked why he had done it, he replied: "Just for fun"

In this engaging episode, Bob Moriarty and the host discuss a wide range of topics including the current surge in gold prices and the forces driving it, particularly the role of China and central banks. They explore the systemic financial issues in the U.S., the potential revaluation of gold, and the corruption in the American political system as evidenced by the unchecked wealth of political figures. Additionally, the conversation touches on the inefficiencies in the U.S. military, the necessity of rejuvenating U.S. manufacturing and mining industries, and the implications of U.S.-China geopolitical tensions. Bob also shares his admiration for leaders like Elon Musk and the impact of their innovative thinking. The discussion concludes on an optimistic note, emphasizing the potential for transformative leadership and positive change in the coming years.

Are they any new vocalists out there changing the face of music when it comes to original style of singing?

Are they any new vocalists out there changing the face of music when it comes to original style of singing? For Example:During the 20th century, many iconic vocalists like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Barbara Streisand, Judy Garland, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Dolly Parton, Sam Cooke, Minnie Riperton, Luther Vandross, Elton John, Frankie Valli, Prince, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Dionne Warwick, Merle Haggard, Otis Redding, Billie Holiday, James Brown, Little Richard, Patti LaBelle, Aaron Neville, Whitney Houston, Emmylou Harris, Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, Celia Cruz, Eddie Vedder, Jeff BuckleyAnita Baker, Bonnie Raitt, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Bob Seger, Mariah Carey, The Bee Gees, Smokey Robinson, John Fogerty, Bono, Greg Allman, Joni Mitchell, Steven Tyler, Janis Joplin, George Jones, Gladys Knight, Bob Dylan, Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, Tom Waits, George Strait, Marvin Gaye, Johnny Mathis, David Ruffin, Stevie Wonder, Karen Carpenter, Jim Morrison, Celine Dion, Tina Turner, Thom Yorke, Al Green, Philip Bailey, Tammy Wynette, Stevie Nicks, Brandy, Linda Ronstadt, Nina Simone, Randy Travis, George Michael, etc. have all changed the face of music forever when it came to their own style of singing.People started emulating them as a result while they developing their voice.We now only have a handful of original sounding vocalists in the 21st century, Adele, Amy Winehouse, John Legend, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Hudson, Demi Lovato, Florence Welch, Carrie Underwood, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna, Lana Del Rey, Regina Spektor, Billie Eilish, Amy Lee, Jazmine Sullivan, Chris Stapleton.Can you think of newer singers right now that will rewrite history as far as singing style is concerned?
