[Someone looks really exhausted and ticked off for only just having arrived in the city. He's also still in his super-gear, green and white spandex covering his body and his goggles pushed up onto his forehead. His white hair looking like it's had a frustrated hand shoved through it more than a few times.]

Wow, okay, this place seriously needs to invent something faster than that stupid cart I just had to sit eternity in, because wow that was the worst three days of my life. And look, I get it. You guys don't even have to pretend to play along. This is some dumb initiation thing for the Avengers ain't it? You got Doc Strange all up in this to test our superhero strength or something. I mean I thought we kinda did a good job already, but whatever, I guess that's why you're a Captain and I'm a... what do they call the ones under Captains? Cadet sounds way too gay...

[he thinks for a few milliseconds, before scrunching his nose up and giving up, looking back at the camera.]

But no, seriously, the cart ride was totally enough initiating can you just get to the point so I can go get a pizza? Or do I really have to play your stupid game? Because I'm seriously not in the mood after you made me sit forever on a stupid cart and now I'm practically starving here!

[he goes to turn off the console, but then realises that he should probably at least say something else.]

If it's not Cap, I'm blaming you, Wiccan. You better be here too so I can kick your butt.

You really need to get better friends if you think they'd pull something like this on you.

Not really friends, more like... I dunno, mentors or something? But yeah. Seriously.

I think that's even worse, aren't mentors supposed to be responsible and shit?

[Bruce......]

Tell that to Wolverine.

The animal? [Steph even does a wolverine impression, which mostly involves making claws at the camera on her console] What have they got to do with anything?

[he can't help but laugh, since the impression is pretty accurate for the superhero as well as the animal.]

No, he's a superhero, but your impression is like, perfect.

Does he turn into a wolverine or is it like, a symbolic name? I feel this is an important question, if my impression was that accurate.

No, but he's hairy, has sharp claws and anger management issues, so it's pretty close.

[Steph crinkles her nose in distate. Hairy dudes, gross]

He doesn't sound much like a dude I'd want as a mentor.

Yeah, well, technically he's not. But he's still technically an Avenger. But give me Quicksilver any day over Wolverine.

[he grins at her.] I'm Speed, by the way.

I'm just going to pretend any of that made sense, and I still think you should invest in new mentors.

[Steph smiles back, clearly amused] I'm Stephanie. [or Batgirl, but she'll keep that to herself]

Maybe I'll look into it whenever I get out of this place.

[His team is sort of bad at keeping identities secret--what with Billy and Teddy screaming each others names left right and center whenever they were in combat, but Teddy had given him enough of a hint to avoid maybe saying his first name. Maybe.]

How long you been here?

Like... [she looks around for a second, as if checking for a clock before realizing there isn't one in her suit.] Ten hours, give or take.

I'm gonna take a look around eventually, but it seemed like a good idea to stick to the network on my first day.

[he grins a bit.] Did that include the stupid cart ride over too?

Yeah, me too. I wanna see just how big this place is and its not like it'll take me five minutes. Want me to keep an eye out for anything?

Unfortunately, yes, they really need to do something about that. [she's not even a speedster and she got bored]

Um... chocolate? I've found out there's coffee, thank god, but I think I'll cry if they don't have chocolate. [she's... not... exaggerating.]

Don't even get me started on the cart. Seriously.

[He smiles a bit at the mention of chocolate though.] I'll keep a lookout. If I find any I can drop it over to you?

At least we only have to do it once.

Oh, you don't have to! [but... chocolate] If it's not too much trouble though, I'll - hang on.

[she attaches the number of her building and apartment in text format, encrypted at about 80% unhackable, just because she doesn't want to share her new address with the entire network]

There. And I can pay you back if you do buy some.

That we know of. [he snorts and makes a note of the address, grinning just a bit.]

Nah, it's not any trouble or anything. Seriously, don't worry about it. You can just pay me back by taking me for a drink or something.

[That comment gets a sharply arched eyebrow] Are you even old enough for me to take you out for a drink?

[back home she wouldn't be, but she's not sure what the rules are here]

[He raises one right back at her with a smile.] Are you?

I'm old enough in England. [which is definitely relevant, despite her clear American accent]

That's the weirdest British accent I ever heard.

I'm just trying to blend in with all you Americans.

[She can, actually, do assorted British accents, but thinks that might be an odd skill for someone to have]

Uh huh. Blend in with the Americans. In this place. Not buying it.

There are actually a lot of us, I think we outnumber any other nationality.
