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.

( there's food but billy immediately goes for his own milkshake. a bad idea probably, but he does what he wants. takes a few sips out of the provided straw before he bothers trying to answer.

is this even real milk here in these trying, futuristic times?? he's not gonna ask. )

Like something out of a comic book, yeah. ( a nod in agreement. ) But considering the Kree and Skrull wars and Kang the Conqueror going back in time to recreate the team that's taken him out time and time again and the huge Civil War over hero rights and everything else--honestly. My origin story wouldn't even rank top twenty origins if we turned all our lives into young adult fantasy novels.

( lol. )

I mean, just think about yours.

[evite]

Mine? [ she huffs out a quiet laugh in between bites. he has a point. ] I mean, yeah, I guess. Quasi-immortal leader of a secret Inhuman nation, Jekyll and Hyde dad on a rampage, SHIELD baby snatchers... not to mention a grand nearly eighteen years in the foster system? Definitely a set-up for some weird shit.

[ five years ago, she might have been willing to swap it all out for a different, more leave it to beaver-esque existence. but not now. she was pretty happy with who she was now. ]

I don't know about top twenty, though. Depends who else is in the running.

[wiccant]

Maybe not top twenty. ( a. uh. semi-lighter topic. ) My boyfriend is the son of Mar-vell and Skrull princess Anelle who was brought to Earth by his mother's friend to protect him from his grandfather and the Kree. So he's part of two warring species who've brought their stuff to Earth a few times, and had a custody battle over him which led to a fair amount of Avengers getting involved.

( that's not including the tragic death of the only mother he's ever known, nor the involvement of the super skrull, or any of that. but. )

Then there's Hawkeye and the Maximoff twins and Tony Stark--I don't think we can compete with a lot of them.

[ the kree sure did like to get their hands into weird shit, didn't they? daisy doesn't really have much to say to that beyond a low whistle of appreciation. plus, there's the whole veggie burger to eat before it gets cold.

eventually, though, she pipes up again, pointing a fry in billy's direction. ]

For the record, I'm not undercover with SHIELD or anything. I'm not advertising — that's more Fitz's gig, really — but if someone wants to know, it's not a secret. People just don't know me as Quake here, so.

[ for obvious reasons. ]

[wiccant]

Okay. Good to know. ( he won't be spoiling her ID then, if he accidentally opens his mouth and says something. ) I'm--not much of a secret either. Who I am, what I could do. A little pointless, really. For me, not that I think that people hiding is pointless. I mean, I sided with Cap on that.

( people deserve the right to have a secret id if that's what they think is right for them. billy would never contest that, fought for the ability to hide even if he's never personally felt the need. given teddy's whole. . thing, tommy's appearance, and that steve rogers outed him to his own parents, well.

time to pick at some fries on his plate. ) I don't mind if people know about me. Obviously, since I announced it.
