 [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.

Considering how the entire team ended up splitting in two with half of us heading back to Westchester and the rest staying on Cyclops' island, I think they might need someone else explaining where they're coming from to one another.

Maybe. [Shrug] Scott's not....in much of a listening mood since that whole thing happened though. And Emma is never in a listening mood. Kind of hard to talk to them under those circumstances. Again, I can't really blame them.

[alpha_squad_leader]

Which whole thing? [Because there are so many.] And I can understand their point of view too. I still think Cyclops is an asshole and we're better off with Wolverine though.

[hugmagnet]

Every whole thing. [There's a lot of things] Ha. You might be the only one I've ever met who doesn't think Wolverine is an asshole.

[alpha_squad_leader]

That's a lot. [He smiles.] Oh, no. I still think he is kind of one...Cyclops is just worse these days. I mean Wolverine might treat us like kids who can't take care of ourselves but at least he isn't throwing us away like disposable pawns just to help some demon girl who's been given too many second chances and keeps proving to be a bad idea to keep around.
