[So being a millennial and a nerd means that thankfully Kamala adjusts to her MID pretty fast. It's basically like a big ship-wide Facebook married Skype with a little bit of Readit on the side. Cool. She's got it.

Okay Kamala, time to do your Avengers work. This is serious business and a solo mission. Can't screw it up. Take a deep breath, turn it on, and hit record.

Hello everyone, I'm Ms. Marvel and I come representing the Avengers. ...The Avengers of Earth. We're basically a bunch of superheroes that save the world and do good and heroics ....and stuff. [Smooth Kamala, moving on.] Anyway, I'm here to help make sure everyone totes gets back home safely. I just have a feeeeew questions. Important questions! That will help me with all the heroing stuff!

1. Has anyone else representing the Avengers shown up here?
2. How much do we know about this mission? Any estimate on how long it will take? Any hostile forces?
3. ...Also what happened to our shoes? I mean boots are kinda a part of my whole ensemble and were also kinda expensive so if I could get them back that would be super great!

[She puffs out her chest and looks in the camera doing her best to look authoritative and unconcerned. She did watch the world end, so she's seen worse, but there is a part of her that's just a bit concerned about how long this is going to take. Her expression wavers a bit.]

4. Uhh. Does this thing here connect to any other networks? Like maybe the internet so you could email... like... a school paper or something. Just curious!

[There's a pause. Like she really really wants to ask something but can't decide if she should. No, she can't resist.]

So are we really on the ship like.... for real in space boldly going where no one has gone before to a galaxy far far away? I mean, I just want to be sure so I can rub it in the face of someone back home before he can even claim all my Pictograms are fake.

Kamala?

[ As if there could be any doubt. Somebody certainly isn't in doubt of who that voice belongs to; there's excited barking right next to Medusa's ear, and she flinches visibly as a big wet tongue slaps against her face. But being a queen is about carrying on, even when a five foot dog is slobbering on your hair. ]

Kamala, wait, please, we need to talk. I can explain everything.

[ Before she goes smacking headlong into this alternate universe debacle they all find themselves in. ]

[embiggened]

...Queen Medusa?

You're here? What about New Attilan?

[THIS IS... UNEXPECTED.]

[accidentalqueen]

[ YOU'RE TELLING HER. ]

I...that is one of the things we need to talk about.

[ Maybe Kamala can confirm her hypothesis for her. The one that she so fervently needs to believe is true. ]

But not like this. I think this is all best explained in person. If I send Lockjaw to you, can we speak now?

[ It's not really a question, because she's sending Lockjaw anyway. And if Kamala's super gung-ho about getting to see space, that's all to the better. They can chat on the observation deck for awhile. ]

You're a superhero? That's so cool!

[Tailgate is a simple bot who is easily dazzled by people more impressive than him.]

I'm sorry that I can't answer any of your questions though. Well, except maybe the last one: No there is no internet, human or otherwise. It's too bad too, because I haven't been on tumblr in a long time.

[embiggened]

It's the best! I mean it's hard work but it's amazing!

...

Wait. You're a robot who posts on tumblr? And we can't get on tumblr here?! Uuugh, I just posted a huge meta that I've been working on for so long. I'll never know how many hits it gets...

[daintylegs]

I'm a Cybertronian, actually, not a robot! A robot implies that we're AI, and we're definitely not. We're aliens, is what I'm saying, from a place that's not Earth. And before you ask, my ship, the Lost Light, happens to be connected to the internet, which is why I have a tumblr blog in the first place! It makes sense, I swear.

Also I really like reblogging cute stuff and inspirational quotes. I love kittens! I reblog lots of kittens. I've never seen one up close before though, which is too bad.

What sorta stuff do you post?

You're a superhero!? Oh man, I'm a superhero too! Back home! Everybody in Detroit thinks we're great.

[He doesn't look like much, but currently, thanks to the event, is stuck as a tiny 8 year old human boy. Instead of a giant awesome robot.]

[embiggened]

Is that where you're from?

I'm from Jersey City. It's great to see that there are heroes all across the world protecting their homes!

[heelys]

What, Detroit? Nah. I'm originally from Cybertron. But Earth's been my home for uhhh, like fifty stellar cycles? Or something like that? I was in stasis for a bunch of that time, though, so maybe closer to three stellar cycles? I don't really keep track of time.

[This are all words no human child should be using.]

We stop small time bad guys, recover allspark shards before they can cause trouble, and we totally saved the Earth from a Decepticon takeover. You know. The usual.

[ Either this is more multiverse fuckery, or the future involves absorbing way more random people onto the team than he's been appraised of thus far. Both options seem equally plausible. ]

What year do you last remember?

[ LET'S JUST....... start there. ]

[embiggened]

Uh.

Mr. Iron Man... Tony. Mr. Tony.

[She... stares at him. Like BOSS. WHAT. COME ON.]

It's... 2015. Right?

[newnova]

[ He'd been trying to lay low since he got there, but for this he'll put his helmet on and appear as Nova. ]

Hey, I'm an Avenger too! Sort of. And yeah, what's up with the shoes thing?

[embiggened]

Nova.

Don't you recognize me?

[A beat.]

Is this some kind of... timey-wimey thing?

[knaval]

i get a pretty solid connection to spacebook but no-one's on it unless its like 4am :(

[embiggened]

we have our own social media on the ship?

[democratically]

Hello, Ms. Marvel.

[Which Padmé assumes is her last name and that she simply doesn't desire to introduce herself with her actual first name.]

My name is Padmé Amidala of Naboo. I'm afraid I have no knowledge about any avengers, although there is no estimate that has been given about the length of time as far as I am aware. The ship... has docked several times. Crashed once, even, although it seems to have been a malfunction.

[Although that shoe question...] You... didn't arrive with your shoes?

[embiggened]

Hmmm. I see. I'll make note of that to report when... when ever I can report. I guess I'm not exactly sure what I should be doing here.

[Then she looks at her feet.]

Yeah! They were gone when I arrived. Just like they disappeared right off my feet! Weird, huh?

[seeingscarlet]

[The name doesn't lie but this is a much younger Wanda than the one Kamala might know.]

You're with the Avengers?

[But whether from her future or Billy's world remains a mystery. This multiverse stuff is a nightmare.]

[embiggened]

Uh. Yes. The new and recently re-formed Avengers!

[She shouldn't ask she knows she shouldn't ask, nope she's asking.]

Your name. Are you... are you really Scarlet Witch?

[sidecars]

I like to consider myself an honorary member.

[ Because Bucky is just that cool. ]

[embiggened]

Of the Avengers?

[She squints.]

You don't seem familiar. And I'm a pretty big fa- I know a lot about the Avengers. Because I am an Avenger!

[voicelog]

[He hasn't used the network much since his arrival here. Multitude of reasons. But considering he's now breaking out of his space hermit lifestyle, congratulations, Kamala. You're the first person Tony has bothered to reach out via video.

—and he's looking incredibly skeptical.]

Any relations to Carol Danvers? [Because he doesn't remember anyone else going by Ms. Marvel, unless he's speaking to an alt.]

[embiggened]

She's my hero! My favorite Avenger. Well former Avenger before the current Avengers...

Anyway, we're not related but I have her official endorsement.

[If only Kamala knew. She would feel so honored that her leader feels so compelled by her.]

[deconstruct]

The fuck's on your face?

[ okay, so andyr's seen all of one superhero actually looking like a superhero here and it was nightwing and it was dark and it was on the minicolony, not on the moira. so this is still very weird to him. like wearing your halloween costume to work in april.

the rest he's just... not as concerned about. ]

[embiggened]

Geez, language!

And it's a mask.
