[ Here is a blonde teenager, her hair in a loose ponytail, and her blue eyes curious. She's settled a bit, so. Here she is again. ]

Hey, guys!

First, I want to apologize for my previous post. I promise, I've now learned about the use the inboxes, and it won't happen again. Anyway! My name's Cassie, and I have a question. Sadly, it's probably not a very. important. question that might help resolve the situation, here, just something I'm curious about.

I know people here come from different times... I mean, people who know each other and come from the same world. So, that means that some of us come from other people's futures.

If a friend - or enemy, I suppose - comes in, would you want them to tell you what your future holds? What happens to you or your friends?

Or would you rather let it be?

I mean, not like - going to the Emperor to be shown. Just - being told. By friends.

I hope it makes sense?

[ She gives a wave and then ... sits back a bit, the good cheer easing up. ]

Oh, and I've heard about the people who've suddenly gone. I'm sorry to everyone missing people, um. I hope they turn up all right.

... I think I must defer to your experience on this one.

Wait. Do you mean there are versions of... our world without Namor? How about Sue and Reed and... who's there, do you know?

Okay so? The universe where all the Avengers are really young? It's like 2010 for them and they have Cap, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, and Black Widow and that's it.

[And their respective villains but she's not counting them.]

Plus there's a universe that I think only has mutants.

[She really needs someone besides T'Challa to appreciate how weird this all is, because the people from the weird universes don't realize it's weird.]

O-kay...

[Yeah, Cassie totally appreciates the weird. But the last part?]

What do you mean, only mutants?

I mean just the X-Men, and not even all of them, as far as I can tell. No Fantastic Four, no Avengers, no anybody else. And their Professor X has hair.

[And is English but let's face it, the hair part is more important.]

[Cassie lets out a deep breath. For a moment, she thought all the earth was mutants - and while she has nothing against them, she's seen and heard enough of the hostility to be afraid that might have meant a war. And genocide. Only the X-Men as a team and a smaller one sounds... less terrifying, somehow.]

[Her eyebrows come up.]

Could it be that they haven't been founded, yet? I mean, if the Professor has hair, he might be young and all.

Oh man, yeah, he's young. Like my age.

[Nita forgets that not everyone knows she's in her 30s.]

[o.O]

Oh, wow. So maybe he just hasn't found any of the rest?

Maybe...

[She doesn't know X-history nearly as well as she does that of the Fantastic Four or Avengers.]

Anyway, there are a lot of weird versions of our universe, plus a bunch that aren't related at all and like half of them have never heard of the multiverse.

[Do they live under rocks? It's probably rocks.]

... to be fair, I don't think most people... I mean, most surface-dwellers, know about the multiverse in our world, too.

If I even tried to hint about something like that at school, my mom'd probably have gotten a phone call and a schedule with a therapist. For me, obviously.

Jeez, you could just get a note from the Dr. Richards.

[Nita has an unrealistic idea of how easy to get in touch with and obliging Reed Richards actually is. And of how most people's lives work.]

My mom didn't really let me talk with them, once she got custody.

[And by 'them' she means... most of the superhero community. Especially after she got full custody.]

Why not?

[Custody battles happen in Atlantis sometimes, but at Cassie's age, an Atlantean would already be well into their military training and it wouldn't occur to anyone to try to keep them from talking to heroes.]

[While Cassie... well. Cassie gives a shrug and a teenager sulk (TM).]

Dunno. Bad influences or something.
