 [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.

[hugmagnet]

Thanks. It's good to know about. Is that the worst thing that's happened here or is there more?

[andaway]

[Hmmm] Well, there's the visits to the mainland. We aren't really sure if they happen periodically but it's happened twice ever since I've been here. And we visit it we lose our powers.

All of them, completely. And it wasn't fun to find that out when I was facing some monsters.

[hugmagnet]

Oh boy, power nerfing! [She hates iiiiiiiit] Good thing I was trained to punch things without them. Still kind of inconvenient though.

[andaway]

Inconvenient and annoying for sure. But it's temporary, and we're lucky enough we maintain our powers while on the turtle I suppose.

Is it rude to ask the kind of powers you have?

[hugmagnet]

That's something, at least.

[Shrug]

Nah, not rude. They're pretty public back home so. Super strength, flight, bullet proof skin, general invulnerability, the ability to survive in space, photon blasts and energy manipulation.

[andaway]

[He whistles] Impressive, really. You must be a pretty important part of your world.

Would you be open to some sparring? It's not often I find someone I don't have to hold back with.

[hugmagnet]

[Another shrug] Well I am undeniably awesome but most people just kind of see me as another Avenger. Which is fine. I did the solo thing for a while but it never really measured up to being part of a team.

Definitely. Very few people at home can stand up to my strength so I know how that feels.

[andaway]

[He laughs a bit but he can't say he really knows how that is. He was one of the first superheroes so even if there's plenty of people who go toe-to-toe against him now everyone still puts him in a pedestal not even him can live up to.]

Say a place and a time then, and we'll let the fists go wild.
