[ Here's a face that hasn't been around in a few months. She's back, with her memories intact and a few new ones from hopping around the multiverse a little more. There's no preamble or pretense when she starts to speak, though — more abrupt than not. ]

Sooooooooooo. Who wants to catch me up on the last four or five months? Looks like I've missed An Ordeal. Very likely more than one.

[ Was that luck or un-luck? There's no real flippancy to her tone, she just likes getting to the point of things, especially now. ]

Secondly, roll call for my family, please, of any universe of origin — just let me know if you're still here and who I have to slap into the next multiverse for doing something shitty to you while I was M-I-A.

[ She might be a little protective ok. ]

And in conclusion, for any new faces here since I've been gone, I guess: Hi, I'm Lorna Dane, I've been told I have a magnetic personality.

[ JOKES. There's a slightly cheesy smile as she cuts the feed. ]

Unless I'm hallucinating. And I wasn't home, I got sent to...other places, because the multiverse never ceases to amaze; both places replaced my powers so it was a bit rude both times. I'm not sure if I still have them, but I can feel my original ones back in their place, so, that's welcome.

I'll never say no to seeing you in person, though.

I lost this reply, so sorry

[There's a flash of blue, Billy teleporting over rather than answer over the network.]

Other places??

[How many places like this are out there??]

You're really okay? They didn't hurt you or anything? Was anyone else there from here?

no worries!

[geomagnetically]

Well, taking my original powers pissed me off more than actually physically hurt me. [ Unless she tried to access her magnetic powers. ] So, yeah I'm good.

Technically yes, some were there, but sans memories of here. Soo subtly different versions? Men in Black style mindwipes? Really good acting? Who knows.

[wearingthestars]

Really? Who else was there? Maybe we're just in the Matrix getting shuffled from place to place and NONE of this is real.

It wouldn't be the weirdest existential crisis I've had. But, uh. There was a you? And Wanda, like the one here, not the one from our time, and one of her world's Steve's, who for the record I want to trade for our world's 'cause he's way less of a shit heel. And ... yeah, just a few others. It sure was a thing.

"Me??" That's less scary than it could have been, with how many doppelgangers he's run into traipsing across the multi-verse, but still, it's unnerving.

He flushes at the implication that their Steve Rogers is anything less than idyllic, though he's seen plenty of proof first hand that the man is only human.

"He is a little softer round the edges," he agrees.

"Maybe not having conflicts from space every five minutes or some other existential crisis of the day does wonders to chill someone out. Novel thought, I know, right?" Someone get her a TV show and book deal for such an original thought. Light sarcasm, her? Yes.
