Hey. There's a lot of old information on this, and that's great. Really. But it's also a l o t for newcomers to try and sift through. There was some talk of a guide, which would be awesome? Even if it's just a basic rundown of world stuff that isn't the wiki-ish pages of the internet that just assume we know crap, it'd be helpful.

Back home, I was on a team called the Young Avengers. We went on a multiverse jumping spree for several months, so this isn't my first rodeo. It is the first place I've been to where we woke up with our abilities locked away and given new ones. Super weird btw, I'm not fond of it. As someone who already went through the whole "traumatic event waking up your mutant powers" thing, I'm not up for round two. But it means I've got some history with jumping around to different places.

I've got a place outside the safe house already, but it's not really a space meant for more than one or MAYBE two people, and we've got three. So if anyone has ideas for an easy job to get into for new arrivals, let me know? Disclaimer: I've never had an actual job before. And I didn't have much of an idea of what to set up an ID with since, I really don't have any experience doing workforce things.

We've handled worse, I'm sure.
Just another day in another universe, right?

[mutriarchy]

I blew up the dining hall when my powers fully kicked in.
We might be in trouble.

[wiccant]

Stimulate stress somewhere we can't destroy much?

( because haha, billy almost killed someone when he found out he could generate electricity. )

Might be safer.

[mutriarchy]

Sounds like a plan.
So, what, I just harass you until you start doing something superhuman?

[wiccant]

Or try VR.

[mutriarchy]

I prefer the bothering you method.

[wiccant]

Then how are we going to activate yours?

[mutriarchy]

If I can't figure it out, then we try VR.

[wiccant]

OK.
Whenever you feel like it.

[mutriarchy]

Now?
You should know patience isn't really my thing.

[wiccant]

Safehouse? Or Kate's place?

( to meet up at least. )

[mutriarchy]

Safehouse.
I'd rather not torch our new digs.

[wiccant]

Twenty minutes?

[mutriarchy]

Sounds good.

[ He's just going to be jogging around town anyway. Getting a scope of the city and burning off excess energy. ]

[wiccant]

( and billy waits outside the safehouse, hands shoved down into his pockets and lips pressed tight together. stiff, but not unmoving. he shifts his weight from foot to foot, doesn't quite sit still even if it's nothing close to tommy's level of fidgeting. )

[mutriarchy]

[ HATE REGULAR MOTION RUNNING. It's good training to get him to not try to use his speed powers, though. He'd doubled over more than a few times trying to activate them.

But he'll be there soon enough. A little out of breath. And. Hating it. ]

I can definitely rule out any of my old powers.

[wiccant]

( it's a new state of tommy: tired. billy recognizes the white hair before he even gets close, turns towards him and )

I can't believe a jog was enough to tire you out.

( it's so sad... how will tommy ever cope. )

[mutriarchy]

Shut up.

[ goes to punch him in the shoulder!! and then remembers that this isn't HIS billy, just A billy, and softens the blow a bit. ]

This sucks.

[wiccant]

( softens it a bit but it's still there. billy raises his own hand, shoves a palm against tommy's shoulder after before leaning a bit into his side. )

Tell me about it. I went from ( free hand raising and fingers moving out in front of him, like he's going to try and cast some witchy stuff, but. u kno. ) to nothing. It's very inconvenient.

[mutriarchy]

[ He ruffles Billy's hair affectionately. And annoyingly. ]

Inconvenient is one way of putting it. But let's see what they gave us instead. [ he mirrors the witchy hands ] Maybe we just got swapped. That'd still suck but it wouldn't be so bad -- for me. You'll probably just make yourself puke.

[wiccant]

I really, really don't want super speed. That's definitely way more your thing than mine. I'd puke a lot, all the time.

( also: rude. luckily his hair is still short enough that ruffling it doesn't ruin it too much, but he does give tommy the stink eye in response. and raises both hands up to try and fuss it back into place. )

I miss teleporting the most.

[mutriarchy]

You would.

[ Sagely. ]

You do it every time I pick you up, and my you's teleporting skills are not great. So we usually end up cornered by a bunch of pissed off SHIELD agents.

[wiccant]

Wow.

( look just because billy says it doesn't mean tommy can, wtf. don't pick on him. )

I've had about a year of practice with Loki--and even before that, I'd gotten a pretty good handle on teleporting. There are still a lot of things I struggle with though. ( but -- ) What SHIELD agents?

[mutriarchy]

Color me impressed. Last time you tried to teleport us into the bedroom wall.

[ alright, alright, lets just get comfortable in a corner of the safehouse we can potentially blow shit up with. He'll just walk backwards as he talks, he's got enough spatial awareness to not bump into anyone or anything. ] SHIELD protects the borders between Domains, and the Red Guard is the family's personal guard. They love Gramps, they hate us.

[wiccant]

I teleported a massive truck from out in the open to a secure building, once. And it was full of people. Er, prisoners. Right after getting one of those power inhibitor collars off.

( so he can!! teleport!!! just fine. don't sass him. tommy walks backwards, and billy follows behind him. keeps pace easy enough. ) Right, Magneto.

( he's still settling into the idea of being raised with wanda, pietro, and magneto. thanks. )

Who's part of the Red Guard? I'm guessing they don't like us because we don't have the same ideals, right.
