[Victor tries not to look awkward as he sits in front of the console. He's still in his uniform, tugging slightly at the collar with his normal hand. He won't admit it but he's a little nervous about being stranded here on his own.]

It's probably weird that the thing that bothers me most about all this is the fact that's nothing has tried to kill me yet. It's not just me that thinks that's weird, right?

I mean other than feeling like I went a round or two with Namor on his home turf and lost badly for most of the ride here, this has been the nicest welcome I've had to a new dimension. Those people that brought me here in the cart were an improvement over demons for sure.

Speaking of demons...[He glances around his suite a moment before his attention returns to the console.] no one's seen a crazy demon girl running around calling herself Magik or Darkchylde, have they? Dropping me into some weird alternate world is definitely something she would do.

Well anyway, I'm Victor. Are any of the X-men stuck here? Or anyone else from the Jean Grey School?

There aren't even any old people here. I think Stark's probably the only one over forty. I mean obviously I'm not counting the kedan, there's no way you can tell how old they are anyway.

[Barring immortals and comic retcon ages COUGH BRUCE WAYNE COUGH.]

... And the Emperor, I guess, but I don't think anyone wants to imagine her topless.

There aren't? [That's kind of a surprise. He shrugs it off though.] Iron Man is here? I really hope he's working on a way home.

Yeah...[He shifts a little uncomfortably himself.] I'll leave imaging women topless to the people that are into that sort of thing regardless of who they are.

Oh, yeah. Like relying on Tony Stark has ever been a good idea. Ever. Do I need to get out my 'I survived the Civil War and all I got was this lousy t-shirt' t-shirt? because I so will.

[Brandon, sit down, you were not remotely involved in that until Osborn.]

Well. You know. Plenty to go around.

[Vic arches a brow.]

Well better him than no one and if he's working on that he won't be doing anything else stupid. And you can keep your t-shirt where it is for now.

[Don't make him bring out the X-kid collection of horrible event t-shirts, Brandon.]

Plenty of what.

'Anything else stupid'. Have you met Stark? Stupid is practically his middle name. I didn't know geniuses could get that dumb.

[yeah he'd lose that contest.]

Plenty of... people...?

Hey, he may be full of dumb ideas but he does do some good things. He built that suit after all.

Alright then.

I'm pretty sure that suit's caused just as much trouble as whatever good he's done with it, but ymmv.

[Yeah he just said that abbreviation outloud. Sigh.]

But hey, I'm just playing devil's advocate. What do I know about the Avengers.

[Besides the obvious.]

Can't the same be said about powers in general? [He pauses.] Did you seriously just say that outloud?

Yeah, I guess. But people can't help having powers. It's not like I asked for this. It's his choice to build that suit.

[And then he just rolls his eyes.]

Hello? Sarcasm?

That's true too. We have no say in the way we're born.

[He shrugs.]

It's still weird to hear it said aloud.

Hey, lots of people have never heard of the Avengers. Here especially.

Well, that makes sense considering that people are apparently from different dimensions or something here.

Yeah. I mean, there's this so-called 'Justice League'. Tell me that doesn't sound ominous. Like. Whose justice, exactly...?

Justice League? Yeah, that kind of sounds like a group that'd be sent to waste time getting in the way of people actually doing good.
