[So Billy has been that bored that he's either listened and watched most of the conversations going on, and had moments of horrible home sickness. Boredom doesn't begin to cover how he's feeling. Now that the action has died down, it's just a constant moment of sitting on the edge of your seat, waiting. Waiting sucked.]

So, someone mentioned comic books. Kinda curious about who else here really read them back where they come from and what kind? What were they like? Heroes, blah, blah, blah.

I'm that bored and yeah, curious.

I'm into finding old issues, we have titles that are based on like hero teams from my world as well. Collect Avengers titles. They're uh...a team back home.

["Avengers" catches her attention.]

You're from a universe that has the Avengers?

[She's just assuming he's from the same world as the MCU people because those odds seem better.]

[That wasn't really a normal question to ask, then again they were in a strange universe. Billy smiles and nods.]

Yeah, been a huge fan for years. Are you?

I spend more time with the Fantastic Four. I mean, I've known Cap since I first came to New York, but I don't really hang out with the other Avengers that much.

[She totally misinterpreted his question, so it doesn't sound like she's bragging. More like someone trying to find out if they have any friends in common with a new acquaintance.]

Wow, you spent time with them? I haven't really seen them, just the occasional fly by or whatever. I met the Scarlet Witch once! [Twice now since the whole...mother thing.]

Man that's so cool. I met some of the X-Men as well. [Not a fun experience.] But I wouldn't say hung out though. [Except that one time with Magneto and Pietro.]

You know about the Four?

[Suddenly a lot more interested, since none of the MCU characters know about anything besides the Avengers.]

Who doesn't? I had the biggest crush on Johnny for a long time.

[He looks a little confused and tilts his head slightly.]

[If Nita were from a different canon point, she could tell you all the problems involved with dating Johnny Storm...]

Ohmigosh, I think we might be from the same universe.

[Billy looks surprised and maybe excited all wrapped into one and he's grinning.]

Really? Oh man, that would be so cool if we were! So...how do we find out if we are? I mean, sometimes it's been easy to tell people aren't even from somewhere similar...

I'm not sure. There was time travel, and then I was out in space, so I don't know what's been going on on Earth, except for the really big things.

[Like Civil War. Which she is disproportionately concerned with for obvious reasons.]

Okay, I think I did the encryption right?

[He shakes his head, not important really.]

Time travel is a killer. [He's okay mentioning it because...she mentioned time travel and space so easily.]

Big things like...when loads of mutants lost their powers?

[Yeah, sorry, Nita can't do better than that for encryption.]

Yeah, and the Superhuman Registration Act. And the destruction of Atlantis.

[Like Atlantis doesn't get destroyed at least once a year. Jeez, Nita.]

[He'd be keysmashing right now if it weren't video.]

Oh my god...we've gotta be from the same universe then.

[He has Tommy and Teddy, but that's...this is different.]

This is amazing!

[The enthusiasm is infectious and Nita grins, too.]

So that makes you, me, and Striker. And Nomad, kind of. Do you know of anyone else?

[TEENAGE 616]

Yeah there's Teddy and Tommy they're from home as well.

[The best 616 of all! They should all find out they can do stuff and like...hang. Well those that get one. :| Tommy...Brandon...]

Oh, I'm Billy by the way!

[Nita will make everyone behave through sheer big sister powers. And threatening to drown them.

...Well, she has to introduce herself sometime.]

Namorita Prentiss.

[DON'T HATE HER FOR STARTING THE CIVIL WAR BILLY]

I love a good comic book! Comics are good. Comics are cool. My favourite's got to be "Attack of the Planeto", even though they did get some of the details wrong from what I remember.

[ totally not some weird rip off of Magneto and Galactus or something. ]

[That is something he would actually really like to see her do with Tommy.

There's a moment where the name doesn't really register and then...oh. Oh! Billy swallows and nods. HE DOESN'T BLAME YOU OKAY? THINGS HAPPEN! People were dicks and others weren't. But he smiles and it's genuine.]

Nice to meet you.

They are cool! More people need to think that way!

"Attack of the Planeto"? That sounds pretty interesting, but hey comics have that artistic license or whatever, right?

[:|! You sound cool Doc.]

[That went better than she'd been expecting. Of course, she's been sitting there stewing over everything she'd missed, with no one to talk to about it, so it's just possible she's being unreasonable over how much responsibility she bears.]

...Likewise.

I, uh. I'm from before...all that stuff.

[Obviously, because she's still alive and not blue.]

[Hey, if he wasn't the more forgiving type, then he'd never have forgiven a lot of people. Wasn't like she knew what would happen. Yeah there had to be blame, but things got so out of hand so quickly. So Billy's just not even going to go there.]

After it. Way after it.

Not going to hold it against you or anything.

Thank you! [ oh if he could give you a high five through the video, he would. he settles for a grin instead. ] Can't quite say the same about comic book movies though.

I'd offer a copy to loan out, but it seems like my library's misplaced itself again. Not in the swimming pool this time, mind you, but really properly misplaced itself. Everything has in fact which is a bit worrying.

[ don't mind the rambling, he really is the coolest ]

I just--

[She doesn't even know what to say.]

Yeah, anyway. I'd only been in the future--your present, I guess--for two weeks when I ended up here. So I have no idea what's going on back home, except apparently Namor joined the X-Men?

[IT'S WEIRD OKAY]

[Well, there's virtual high fives, but they aren't the same. It's catchy, so he's grinning back.] No way! They never seem to get it right or leave or really important and critical information. So you're like 'who is this guy?'

[He stops a moment.]

Wait, like literally a library or...something else?

Billy, by the way.

[ pshh their high fives need to be legit. it'll happen when/if he ever spots billy in person. ]

Let's not even get started on the plot changers! What is the point when you've got a perfectly good one right there in front of you already? I, for one, wouldn't mind if that meant the movie had to be nearly seventeen hours long. I sat through one of those once — but it was also Huralian and about the wonders of cultivating slug-creatures.

Oh, hello Billy! I'm the Doctor. And yes, literally a library. And also literally the ship that the library was on. You haven't seen a blue phonebox anywhere, have you?

Ew, no kidding with the time travel stuff.

[Billy rakes through his memory and hums as he does so. He'd been zoned out for the best part of three to four months.]

Yeah, he's been with them for a while now. Well...a few months or something? Kinda sketchy on things that happened. X-Men have somewhere called Utopia as well, so that's kind of their little haven?

Magneto's a good guy again.
