[Mark can be seen sitting at one of the many internet cafes in the Earth sector. With Eve gone, he had to go back to these to post to the network as Mark, as his console belongs to "Invincible". ~~Gotta try to have that secret identity.~~ He smiles and gives a dorky little wave.]

So uh, if we were back on Earth it would be pretty close to Halloween, wouldn't it? Uh, those of you from Earth, I mean.... And Halloween is nothing without horror movies--especially zombie movies. As I don't think moves are an option here, I'm trying to get my horror fix somewhere else. Suggestions??

[And with that important message out of the way, he changes the filter.]

[Filtered to Bianca Reyes]

Hey, uh, Mis--Bianca, sorry. Do you might if I stop by later? I uh, have something for you.

Because that would be jinxing it, duh.

[Gives him a look. Specifically "the" look. Getting too specific her for his tastes.] Yeah, I guess superheroes would have problems like that too...

It was already jinxed, there was no turning back.

[Victor pauses and then offers a quick apologetic look. Clearing his throat right after, Vic nods.] They do. There used to be an entire news show devoted to it.

Of course it applies to non-superheroes too. I knew a few people that'd break things and then just wander on calling it someone else's problem.

I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree.

Really? You have superhero tabloid shows? [Come to think of it, the real thought should be "why didn't his have any?"

Not that he isn't grateful they don't, because the last thing he needs are a bunch of tabloid "reporters" trying to figure out his secret identity by hounding every Mark in the world.]

Like those crazy people in stores. [Smiles a little to say "thank you."]

This time.

Really. We had a few but most ended up canceled to leave that sort of thing to the fanboys online. It was a popular trend when the world went extra stupid and decided that because a super villain killed a town full of people, all superheroes should be forced to become government controlled soldiers with their secret IDs revealed to the world. [He rolls his eyes there.] It thankfully died down when someone with half a brain in their head was put in charge and started fixing things.

Exactly like them. [He smiles back.]

...Wait, what? Why did anyone think that would be a good idea? [...Then again, that sounds like something Cecil would do. Mark rubs the ear his earpiece used to be in.]

A combination of three guys thinking they knew better than everyone else, a bunch of people acting like idiots, and the government and several super-teams being being infiltrated by insane religious zealot alien invaders.

I could understand the reasoning for wanting something like the registration act but everything beyond that was criminally stupid if you ask me.

[...How many cities has he been responsible for destroying now?] Your world seems... kind of messed up.

Yeah, it gets really messed up sometimes. And that's not even explaining just messed up things got.

Where I'm from, even with the superheroes, things get really messed up sometimes, but... It never gets that crazy.

Sounds like the superheroes where you're from are lucky. I mean...have they ever had to deal with the government putting a murderer and known psychopathic super villain in charge of pretty much everything?

[He just got a mental image of Cecil giving Levy his old job and shuddered.] What? Is everyone on your world nuts?

You have no idea how often I've asked that myself.

Okay, you officially win on world's screwiest government. Because... wow.

And sadly, it gets worse.

...Wait. How?

Giant killer robots made specifically to hunt down people just for being born mutants is one way.

Then there's also the fact that when they were supposed to be protecting the mutant population, they implanted people with chips they said were just for tracking them for safety but turned out to be things they could use to kill them on command. Or torture them.

Do you live in some kind of dictatorship? Because if not, you really should vote these people out of office...

And you should also probably get them arrested on hate crimes or crimes against nature or something.

Thankfully no. And there always seem to be more of those crazies around no matter how many times they get voted out or exposed as corrupt or secretly super villains.

Maybe we can see if we can't convince the Emperor to send you to my universe when this is over. [He smiles to show he's only joking... but just barely.]

[Victor gave a little laugh.] Not that I'm opposed to a good looking guy inviting me back to his place, but I don't think she'd go for that.

You're right, she doesn't like anything that might make us happy.

Too true.

And I've got a couple people that'd never forgive me if I didn't go back home.

Oh right, you're a member of a team back home... right?

[He nods.] The X-men.

Then there's my parents too. They're still upset with me for running away from home...if I skipped out to another universe, they might explode or something.

Okay fine you have a point.

How come you ran away from home? O-only if you want to talk about it, I mean....
