[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?]

... wait, Fantastic how many?

[shorttempered]

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.

[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]

[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...

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[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?

[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.]

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[2012!?]

It's 2009 back home.

[werethatgood]

Theeeen I have no idea what you're talking about. Who's on the team, anyway?

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[What sort of question is that?]

Right now? Johnny Storm, Lyja Storm, Ben Grimm, Susan Richards and Franklin Richards. [She's mostly over her crush on Franklin, but it's pooossibly slightly noticeable in how she says his name.]

[werethatgood]

... but Franklin's not even ten, yet!

[She used to babysit him! She knows!]

Kinda. Depending. But mostly not.

[And, after a moment, she adds, eyes wide.]

Did something happen to Uncle Reed again?

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[Smaaall face at the thought of having a crush on grade school kid.]

He's definitely in his twenties.

[Old enough that he freaked out over her dad telling him Spider-girl was fifteen at the time. And right as they had a moment and almost kissed, too!]

Wait, 'Uncle' Reed? [You don't look like any of the Fantastic Five's kids.] Dr. Doom showed up again and tried to take over the world. All I know is they're both not dead.

[She's not entirely clear on the details, having been distracted by problems of her own at the time, but both Reed Richards and Doom are out of commission, and Franklin's wrapped up and sealed like a radioactive Christmas present.]

[werethatgood]

I think we officially crossed into 'alternate timeline' territory.

Poor Sue and Franklin and Val, though.

[... after a moment, she adds, quietly.]

And Krstoff. Oh, god, Kristoff.

[With the backup Doom in his mind. Ouch, ouch, ouch.]

[daughteroftheoriginal]

I think so too. This is really weird.

[And she doesn't even know who you are yet!]

Who's Val?

[Note that she's not asking who Kristoff is, Cassie.]

[werethatgood]

Valeria Richards. Franklin's little sister - she's about three, where I'm from.

[She's noticed. She's not... very much up for discussing Dr. Doom just yet. Not even the copy inside Kristoff's mind.]

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[He has a cousin, and Torus is a cute kid, but definitely no siblings. So that makes that question awkward in retrospect.]

He doesn't have any siblings in my world.

[Which is a shame, because Kristoff's a good guy! A bit of a stick in the mud at times, but definitely a good guy.]

I'm May Parker, by the way.

[zerotoawesome]

X-Man and Avenger at your service!

[werethatgood]

Huh.

[Cassie blinks, between the news of no-Val and... some familiarity of the name. But she clears her throat.]

Sorry. I'm Cassie, Cassie Lang. Nice to meet you, May!

[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.]

Thank you ILU

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[Wait- As in- She doesn't speak to Stinger out of costume besides the occasional Avengers-related phone call, but she still knows who she is! Kind of hard not to, when her relationship to And last time she checked, Stinger was definitely not her age.

Then again, this definitely explains why she said Franklin was still a kid, even if she was kinda vehement about it. Did she babysit him or something?]

Uh, nice to meet you too!

I actually know the version of you from my world.

[This is really weird. Stinger is not supposed to be around the same age as her. She really needs to leave the alternate dimension stuff to other people.]

Do you think we could meet up somewhere?

ILU2!

[werethatgood]

Yeah, that'd probably be a good idea. Lunch?

[daughteroftheoriginal]

Sounds good to me, but I just got here so I don't know where anything is.

[werethatgood]

I'm only here since last week, but I've got dad to make sure he stays fed - I've got a few decent ideas!

... plus, a new friend sent me a list of food places - just let me know which sector you're in, could be time to try something new. Not that... all food here isn't new and strange.
