 [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.

Yes. That's exactly what superheroes are. Well, some of them don't have powers but yeah, it's basically the same. [Shrug. Hawkeye doesn't have powers and no one would question his hero cred] They use their powers and training to protect people and handle threats to the public.

Then I suppose my world has your superheroes, yes, though we only call them Heroes. My mother was a Hero, as is my sister.

[hugmagnet]

Really? [Well now Carol is intrigued] What do the Heroes in your world do?

[thetyrant]

Little enough, now. My mother and sister seem to be the last of them.

[hugmagnet]

Huh. That's too bad. [She'd like to hear about heroes from other worlds. Oh well] My world is overrun with people like that. I can't imagine them not being around anymore.

[thetyrant]

My mother scoured the world and never found any others. There were three other known Heroes in her time, but none as powerful as she. They each only could use one of the disciplines.

Can, I suppose. Two of those are still living.
