[Video] 01

[superoverachiever]

[Ava's first broadcast is made in costume. This place is weird, for now it seems smarter to be White Tiger than Ava.] Hi. I'm White Tiger. I'm with SHIELD. This is a nice place you guys got, huh? My room looks great. [There's a brief but awkward pause as she tries to remember why she started doing this.]

I'm looking for my team. Spider-Man, Iron Fist, Nova and Power Man. Has anybody seen them? We usually get sent to other dimensions as a team, [yeah this kind of thing has happened to her before. A couple times.] so I'm betting they're around here somewhere. Spider-Man and Nova... [she pauses for a second, searching for a description.] Well, you can't miss them. Seriously. It's not possible.

Power Man is a big guy with sunglasses. He's tough, he's quiet, but he's really sweet. Iron Fist is a martial arts type. He's always got a spiritual saying or some piece of ancient wisdom to share.

Oh yeah. And I was supposed to be training at home, so if I'm stuck here somebody's gotta help me keep up with that. I fight crime? [Come on somebody please teach her things. She loves learning.]

Pretty sure your pals didn't come with you.

['ello there fellow crime fighter.]

...unless they did and they're being held prisoner somewhere. Also possible.

Aren't you a little young to be hanging out with those guys? [Not saying anything about the other stuff yet, because how is this fair at all?]

Re: permavoice;

[superoverachiever]

That would suck. [Both 'thats' actually.]

Does that happen a lot?

Re: video;

[superoverachiever]

They're the same age as me? [What you talkin' about.]

[zerotoawesome]

Are you just really new, then? I mean, those guys are the big leagues, and I'm pretty sure I haven't heard of you. [Tact? What is that?]

[seriouslytwisted]

No clue. I just got here yesterday.

So, does everybody dress up and make up little superhero names for themselves where you're from?

[superoverachiever]

[There's some clear frustration coming through in Ava's voice and body language.] What do you mean 'those guys are the big leagues?' I started the same time as everybody but Spidey. It was him for year, now it's been all of us for almost as long.

How are they the big leagues?

[andaway]

I'm pretty sure I heard the name 'Spiderman' around, but can't say I have met him or any of the others.

If you want to train, though? I'm always happy to help.

[superoverachiever]

A lotta people. Not everybody.

Is everybody a talking turtle where you're from? [Half retort, half genuine question.]

[seriouslytwisted]

[GODDAMMIT THIS FUCKING CAMERA

you know what fuck it he doesn't even care anymore, he talked to a dude who looked like he was made out of rocks]

Yeah, like, everybody. I'm seeing all these hairless monkey-looking people and wondering what freaky tar pits they climbed out of.

Re: video: anonymous location

[superoverachiever]

Awesome! What styles do you know?

[And how many of them involve the fact that wow this guy is big.]

[superoverachiever]

Hey. Who says I'm a hairless monkey person?

I could be like, a hyena person under this mask.

[seriouslytwisted]

That's an awesome costume then. Either that or for a dog, you got a pretty flat face.

[usavatar]

[HI THERE AVA. Steve is in civilian wear, but he still carries himself like a soldier, as ever.]

Ma'am. [A small nod.] I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with most of those names, but that's not particularly surprising at this point. We come from different time lines. Captain Steve Rogers - I work with SHIELD myself.

[And if she knows him, welp, so be it.]

[video]

[littlecousin]

Nova? As in Rich Rider?

[As far as she knows, Rich was never with SHIELD, but more than one person has used Nova as a superhero name.]

There's a version of Spider-Man, but Danny and Luke aren't here.

[Private video]

[superoverachiever]

He's not the one I'm looking for.

How do you know who they are?

[superoverachiever]

[Ho crap it's Captain America. Ava is noticeably impressed.] Sir!

Uh, hi.

[Private video]

[littlecousin]

The only other Nova I know is the Herald of Galactus, and she's not here, either. Anyway, Danny and Luke have been public for ages--

[Then her brain catches up.]

--but not in your timeline, I guess.

[superoverachiever]

Uh. Good point.

[seriouslytwisted]

[okay fine he'd better set her straight.] Yeah okay so, no, not a lot of guys like me where I'm from. Humans are the usual. These friends of yours human too, or is 'Spiderman' a literal title?

[Private video]

[superoverachiever]

[Tiny shudder at the mention of Galactus.]

Oh boy. Is this some really complicated string theory thing?

[Private video]

[littlecousin]

[He helped save the universe recently, so Nita's pretty okay with him right now.]

There are multiple universes and you can travel between them, I know that much, but you'd really have to ask someone else about the theory. I'm an environmental science major.

[Shrug.]

[Santo isn't trying to be rude or anything... Not intentionally. He does notice her body language though, and tries to tone it down a little] Except for the part where they've been at this for years?

You know, the part where they're all card-carrying Avengers? Where Spider-Man was a menace even before that, and Power Man and Iron Fist had Heroes for Hire? [And where he and and his best friend dressed up as those two for the masquerade here a month ago.]

[Private video]

[superoverachiever]

Oh.

So, who are you?

Re: video;

[superoverachiever]

They're sixteen. We're sixteen, together. On a team. Spidey has a year on the rest of us but that's all. Power Man and Iron Fist never went solo and I'm pretty sure none of us were ever Avengers. [Ava's just having a teensy little mini breakdown here, don't mind her.]
