[ Well, she was biding her time in hiding to go break some friends out of prison — she hadn't even picked out a color to dye her hair, or a style to cut it, to make herself not as identifiable on first glance — but sure. Planet detour it is. ]

I can't say I've ever had a detour located outside of the Milky Way before.

[ Some dry sarcasm. But also truth; she's never been on another planet, let alone galaxy or universe. ]

I'm going to keep this brief, so let's just get to it: I don't suppose anyone can assure me that governmental agreements and such made in our own worlds don't have any standing here?

[ Asking for a friend and all. (She's the friend.) The question gives away the fact that she's new here, and well, if the Sokovia Accords do have standing here, she's prepared to go way back underground. ]

If any of my friends are here too, I seem to be assigned to a ship called First Breath.

[ Natasha-speak for 'you know where to find me if you need me, and also I want to see you in person ASAP so move your asses over here please and thanks'.

And then she finally, a bit abruptly, cuts the video off. ]

They are gods in my world, but they aren't aliens. Simple as that. And dont mention Cthulhu around Billy. Wait, no, nevermind. That hasn't happened yet. IT's fine.

[He'd not joking.]

[obmanchivyy]

[ again: WHAT THE FUCK. is their earth okay??? ]

You ... encountered actual Cthulhu? And are in one piece after it, which is impressive.

[doubled_speed]

[I mean, they haven't even talked about grampa Ultron.]

I didn't but in Billy's future some Cthulhu like space wizard evil thing possessed him once to try and eat him and his powers. So yeah, that's happened. Me, I've only been abducted by an interdimensional horror person thing.

[obmanchivyy]

Oh... is that all; the 'only' thing? [ earth 616 is definitely not okay, r.i.p., that is a big 'only'. ]

And how long have you been in the superhero line of work?

[doubled_speed]

[Sorry, Nat, he knows it's a lot to hear. His world is pretty... messed up he supposed.]

Since I was sixteen, but my powers came in when I was about fifteen. Got me into some trouble.

[obmanchivyy]

Which Avenger got you out of said trouble? [ She's half inferring. ] At least that's how the recruitment strategy works in my world. I swear, an Avengers animal shelter would end animal homelessness in a day.

[doubled_speed]

[Oh Nat, if only it was like that.]

It wasn't like that. At all. Hell, when I first got on the scene I was lucky they didn't throw me back to where I was found. I think only Cap's bleeding heart when he heard what I'd been through kept me out of juvie again.

No, it was the Young Avengers. They needed help saving Billy's boyfriend. And I could make explosions.

[obmanchivyy]

Bless his bleeding heart, honestly — and not in the southern American 'bless your heart' usage that really means 'get fucked' kind of way. How many Young Avengers are there?

[doubled_speed]

Man it's hilarious with the 'get fucked'.

[Still he needs to think about the math.]

So let's see, um, Billy and I, Teddy, and Kate. Then there was Nate and Jonas and Eli and Cassie. Then America and David and Loki and Noh-Varr. Sooooo I guess twelve if you count all the Alumni, even if they aren't around anymore.

[obmanchivyy]

[ Most of those names sound like average ones, but one in particular doesn't — and catches her attention in a slightly confused way. ]

Waiiiit. Loki, like Thor's brother Loki? On an Avengers team? That has to be one hell of a redemption story for him, wow.

[doubled_speed]

[She's not wrong. That is a weird one.]

From what I understand, he was younger. Like, think kid Loki. And then teen Loki or something. He was after Billy's power.

[obmanchivyy]

You want me to think about younger Loki? That hurts. As if adult Loki wasn't annoying enough, considering thousand-plus year old Loki acts like a spoiled or bratty pre-teen already. My condolences. Tell Tony to pay you guys for your Avenger service for that alone.

[doubled_speed]

Really, you’d have to ask Billy if you wanted to know more about it. I never actually met the twerp. Only have the second hand stories. He sounded chill though.

[But then he’s snorting in amusement. getting paid for their work. Like that would ever happen.]

Man, if I got paid to put up with Loki I’d do that. It’s better than factory work.

[obmanchivyy]

Factories often have unions, so consider: Superhero unions, but not in a shitty way like Sokovia Accords or other similar agreements.

[doubled_speed]

Sokovia Accords. Sounds familiar. I think someone mentioned that before. Wanda actually. That's, uh, your world's version of the Registration Act. Bad shit. Yeah, I'll pass on that, even if there's a chance of better health care.

[obmanchivyy]

Yeah, we can just ... never do anything like those again. And even then, never might be too soon.

[doubled_speed]

Well, glad to be in your corner on this one.

Besides, back home it was super offensive too because it was based on some law thing that didn't pass that was trying to force all mutants to register. So the whole thing was racist as fuck.
