[Here’s a pretty nice looking girl with shoulder length brown hair looking into the video feed. Fairly fashionable up to date clothes. Looking a nervous. Totally normal.]

If there was anything I was expecting besides helping my mom out with my baby brother before I went to school, it definitely wasn’t this.

[Nevermind that she was missing school before this happened. There was a bit of clone drama going on.]

They said everyone’s been brought here to save this place so, any Avengers? Members of the Fantastic Five? If they were hoping to grab superheroes, they really missed the mark, with how many are back home, Forest Hills aside. New York’s crawling with them.

I really hope time’s stopped back home like they said before they dropped me off, because otherwise all my friends at school are going to be missing me. And I really don’t want to get in trouble with my parents.

[She really, really hopes they were right about time stopping back home. Aside from the amount of trouble any extended stay in another dimension could net her, there’s also the fact that the Other May’s back home and she doesn’t think she’s given up on her belief that she’s the original May. ...Talk about a confusing thought! What if the Other May tries to replace her?]

[werethatgood]

... wait, Fantastic how many?

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[You sound weirdly familiar, but she can't put her finger on how.]

Five?

[werethatgood]

... what happened with Four?

[Sorry. Stuck on that.]

[daughteroftheoriginal]

They haven't been the Fantastic four for years.

[This is confusing. Is alternate dimension stuff going on?]

[werethatgood]

That's who they were in 2012!



ooc: Year questionable, but either 2012 or 2011...

I'm pretty sure there's no shortage of Avengers here you can talk to.

As for time stopping... I'm pretty sure it does. My girlfriend was here for a bit, and she came after me. According to her I never went missing or anything.

[Your costume looks kind of like Speedball's, but you are definitely not him.]

I don't really want to talk to them, it's more shouldn't they be doing the saving the world thing?

[She's not owning up to being a superhero. But it is a good thing to know there are Avengers around here. She'll have to look into that when she's not feeling weird from her arrival.]

That's good. Weird, but good. And does that means she left?

video;

[shorttempered]

[Nope, definitely not Speedball.]

They're kind of indiscriminate about who they bring here, unfortunately. But I'm sure you've got something that can do to help around here. [He's not condescending when he says that.

At the mention of Eve leaving, he nods.] Yeah. About a month ago. That's the other thing about this place--you can leave at any time, but there's no rhyme or reason to who and when.

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[You're way too young to be Speedball, for one. And kinda cute.]

Maybe. The most I've ever done is play basketball and hold a part time job. I don't think running for student council is going to count much here. [Especially since she quit that mid-race because of superhero activities.]

It sounds like we're really stuck here.

[But if time's stopped really that's a few less things to worry about.]

[spiderkid]

[Oh great, another person from an Avengers-world.]

Believe me, they grabbed plenty of superheroes. And as far as anyone can tell, time does stop. But if you want to see what you miss in your future, the Emperor can show you.

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[Hey! What's wrong with Avengers?]

Thanks for telling me. I'm not sure I want to see my future. It doesn't really seem like a smart idea.

[Besides, she's done the time travel thing before. She's pretty sure you're supposed to not change the future.]

video

[spiderkid]

[Nothing, they're just not the Ultimates.]

It... kind of sucks, depending on what's in your future.

video; that icon with that tag is heart wrenching

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[Definitely not, but she's going to take the position that the Avengers are cooler, not that she knows who the Ultimates are.]

I'm guessing you found something bad out?

[She's sorry. That has to be awful.]

[zerotoawesome]

X-Man and Avenger at your service!

video;

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[Wow. You're a rock. Also, an X-Man?]

I don't recognize you, which means you're probably from a different dimension too, especially since you said you're an X-Man.

[They don't have X-Men anymore.]

That is definitely cool, though, how does it work out with being on two teams at the same time? I know the Avengers back home are constantly busy.

[Most of the mutants she's met definitely are pretty cool people, aside from the ones that are villains.]

video;

[zerotoawesome]

Yeah, obviously. I'm kind of a big deal back home in my dimension. [No, he's not.] I'm bigger than Ben Grimm, and with twice the fangirls. [Not even a little bit.]

It's not that hard, really. You know, except for when they start fighting each other and you have to pick a side. It's called Wolverining.

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[She won't tell a soul, but you're reminding her of J2. Juggie can be the same way.]

It sounds like you've got as many fans as Psilord or Thunderstrike could claim. [Also wow, do you know how old the Thing is now? He has kids, most of his fangirls have to be moms themselves now.]

Yours still do that? Superheroes are all pretty much on the same side where I'm from. Then again, I guess the X-People did come after the X-Men so maybe ours are just past that.

[Mind control by supervillains nonwithstanding.]

[hulkintraining]

I don't think they completely missed their mark. We have a few Avengers around, and X-Men, not sure about the Fantastic Fou-. [Okay maybe he's missing something here.] Five? Since when did they add someone to the roster?

[daughteroftheoriginal]

A few years ago. We also don't have X-Men anymore. I talked with a girl earlier who had the same reaction, so I'm guessing this really is some sort of alternate dimension thing.

[She was a superhero fan to an extent too, before she became one herself.]

[hulkintraining]

Who is the fifth member? Wait-what happened to X-Men? [It has to be an alternate reality thing. But that doesn't stop the news from being jarring.]

[daughteroftheoriginal]

I'm guessing you want to know who's currently on the team, because I know it's different from when they were still the Fantastic Four. Right now it's Johnny Storm, Lyja Storm, Ben Grimm, Susan Richards and Franklin Richards.

As for the X-Men, [we don't actually find out exactly what happened because not everything got fleshed out whee, we just know they 'sacrificed themselves'] most of them died saving the world several years ago. There's a group called the X-People, though, with a school out in New Jersey. [As much a school as tourist destination, if you really wanted to go to New Jersey.] Their leader's called Jubilee.

Ah, miss, you shouldn't worry about the passage of time back where you came from. I've done some calculations - I'm a scientist, you see - and I've concluded that the displacement of matter and energy from the native universe at the moment of transposition would be such that if time did not stop, the entire native universe would unravel entirely. There is no reason to believe our hosts are wantonly inflicting what could only be described as a genocide of infinite proportions to the people of the multiverse, therefore time will have stopped and will only resume when you return. Although a more accurate way to describe this would be that you will be returned to the exact moment of departure. From the transportee's perspective it of course doesn't matter.

[Yep, he absolutely meant to make her feel better with that.]

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[...How was that supposed to make her feel better?]

Uh, thanks. I'll try not to?

[If anything this has made her worried.]

Re: video;

[violetsedanchair]

[Totally yes. Walter is not very good at this.]

Excellent! Of course, we are looking at some solutions for repatriation, but progress there has been... slow. Do you happen to have any scientific skills that could be of use? Are you a quantum physicist by any chance?

video;

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[Wow no.]

I'm still in high school.

[He should be able to realize that's a 'no', right? She might've been part of the science club but her only scientific skill worth counting here is the ability to make web fluid, and considering where they are it's going to take her time to figure out how to do it right on her own. She's not letting some random weird scientist know that, though.]
