[Carol is seated in front of her console, in civvies. Actually, sitting might be the wrong term. She's more floating a few inches above her chair, legs crossed. She does this sometimes without thinking when she's sitting. She looks mostly unbothered by this whole thing. A little frustrated maybe but at most it seems to be a minor inconvenience]

So. Alternate universes are a bitch, huh? Or whatever you'd classify this as. You would think whatever bigger power it is you believe in would have decided by now that this has happened to me enough but I guess not. Oh well, what can you do? [Said oh so casually like she has just seen way too much of of this shit. Which she has. Weird happenings are sort of a thing in her life ]

Anyway, alternate universe craziness aside, my name's Carol. Nice to meet you guys. Under the circumstances and all. I'm sure you hear stuff like this a lot but let's just get this out of the way first: What's the progress on not being here anymore?

And while I'm asking things, how many people here are from Earth? Better yet, who here has heard of the Avengers, the X Men or Captain America? Or who knows anything about superheroes at all, even if it's not any of the things I just mentioned? Let's just say I want to know for my own reference.

[She'd also like to see just how many people ended up here from her world. Or a world similar to hers. Having more superheroes around never hurt. She pauses and glances off to the side, looking at something intensely for a minute as if considering something very important before turning back to the console]

Unrelated but can the fires around here actually burn things? Just, you know, curious.

I'm sure you'll get bombarded by even more later as well. Or something I guess.

[He's...pretty young on the young scale if you think about it. He'll be glad she isn't one that's bothered by it. He smiles at her and nods.]

Yeah, Justice League, Young Justice, Teen Titans and so on. [Because RUDE Kal, only mentioning your team. GAWD.]

Oh yeah, I bet. Sounds like there's a lot of us running around. I kind of feel sorry for everyone else.

[Superheroes be crazy]

Wow. And I thought we had a lot of teams at home.

Loads of us, it's like a convention or something like that any way. Pretty sure we're close to outnumbering the normal people.

How many you got? [Cause he's curious about your world, he doesn't know a lot about it.]

Man I really feel sorry for everyone else. We're a handful. [Loud and things tend to explode around them. ...Well, around her at least]

Oh geez, good question. There's...three Avengers teams? Four? Something like that. Then the X-Men. Two or three teams in Canada. I guess Avengers Academy would count as a team. Um... [She's trying to think of what else there is]

No kiddin', I don't even think there's this many of us in the one place where I come from. [Hey, that's a Wednesday, right? Or was it Friday?]

Wow, holy crap, that's a lot. Avengers a popular team then?

I don't know about your world but in mine New York was the place we all hung out. ...Which is probably why New York got blown up at least once a month. [Monday through Saturday and sometimes Sunday if you're really unlucky]

Yup, apparently. It started out as just a small group of heroes but it kinda snowballed. Now most heroes are Avengers. We really like groups, I guess.

New York isn't anything special really. We're pretty much spread out over the US. No favoured city. But I guess it makes it easier to find people like yourself? And keeps damage to one place? Then again, makes it easier for the bad guys to find you.

Huh, that's really strange. I mean the Justice League are huge? But not in the same way? I don't think any way...I'm not on the team so I dunno really.

It kinda makes it a crime magnet but we've tried spreading out before. Didn't really work. [West Coast Avengers were kind of a disaster. Great Lakes Avengers were never really a thing]

Yeah, I don't know. It's confusing. There are two or three teams in Canada too that have nothing to do with the Avengers.

Well if it works, then there's no point in trying to change it, right?

[He tries to think of just one city with all those people in it. The teams, the heroes and villains and wow, he'd hate to live there.]

Man, totally sounds like something you've got to see. It's kinda hard to imagine.

Yeah, pretty much. [It's true. Her version of New York is sort of a huge disaster and she frequently questions why everyone is still there. One day she's expecting all civilians to just pick up and move]

Yeah, I bet. I guess it works for us, though. As good as anything in a world full of superheroes can work. Like I said, we tend to be a mess.

Nah it can be the same where I'm from as well. Sometimes even the heroes clash over territory and stuff.

Oh man, we've had our fair share of superhero clashes. Not even over territory. Over stupid things. [Looking at you, Civil War] You'd think we'd have enough of other people trying to kill us to where we wouldn't try to kill each other.

Gotta keep it fresh, right?

Pretty much! Punching the same bad guys day after day would get old after a while, I think.

You know it's bad when you can have a casual convo while layin' the smack down.
