[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.

[This is the most unimpressed look ever. She lets the point go on the matter of his world moving faster because as far as she's concerned he's simply indulging in a fit of exaggeration like most young men and women his age do. It's not as if they have speedsters in Terre d'Ange.]

What exactly is a superhero team?

[...and while she's at it, what in Elua's name is he wearing?]

[he heaves a huge sigh because this is such a pain to explain GOSH.]

Heroes. You know. Crime fighting, saving the world and stuff. With super powers. Superhero.

People with power are so common where you're from that there are organized groups who protect the people?

Yeah, pretty much. When people who have powers are the ones attacking the people, it's kinda needed.

[She almost wants to say that he seems young to be part of such a team, but he's likely of age, at least by D'Angeline standards, and soldiers are often his age...]

What sorts of powers do these people possess?

Anything really. I mean, I have super speed and my brother can do magic? There's not really a limit one what kinda powers people have.

Where do these powers come from exactly?

[D'Angelines don't really traditionally have magic. There's the Master of the Straits, and perhaps in other countries...]

Genetic mutation? And sometimes stuff to do with radiation.

And what are those?

[You are talking to someone from the equivalent of Renaissance times, Tommy. Sorry.]

Uhh... Like... some people are born with it and some people aren't.

[Hfff. This isn't going anywhere.]

I see.

[She doesn't.]

[He can sort of tell. He scratches his forehead a little, squinting as he tries to think of a better way to explain it.]

Like, uh. Okay, some people are born with blonde hair and some people are born with brown hair. It's like that, but some people have superpowers and some people don't.

And how are these related to...genetic mutation and radiation?

[She gives herself points for not stumbling over the words.]

...Because changes in hair color is genetic mutation?

[...she's lost.

Whatever appears to be commonplace where he's from is so beyond her scope...

And it's a bit irritating. More than a bit, to be shown up ignorant to this younger boy.]

I see.

[She still doesn't, but like hell is she going to admit it.]

[He's visibly getting more irritated by the fact she doesn't understand.]

I don't even remember what we were talking about.

At this point I hardly thinks it matters. The important points were grasped, at least.

[She huffs a sigh.]

I'll leave you to search for your friends.

[He sort of huffs a little.]

Yeah, okay. Whatever.
