[ To say that it is taking some effort to adjust to the new reality Ororo has suddenly found herself in would be quite an understatement, but she still manages to look perfectly calm and composed as she offers the network a polite smile.

Would she like to maybe have herself a minor little breakdown? Sure. But she has absolutely no idea what sort of consequences that might have considering the quite substantial storm that is already going on outside the Ingress Complex, and there really just isn't time to fall apart right now. Maybe at some later point she can allow herself to fully absorb the shock of what has happened, but for now she has to keep moving forward. ]

Hello. My name is Ororo Munroe, and I'm a relatively new arrival here. Where I'm from I'm a teacher, mostly ancient history which isn't really going to be too useful around here unless some of you are dying to know about the Roman Empire, even if that was never a thing on your planet or in your timeline.

What I also am, is a mutant, which in my case means I have the ability to control the weather. I can survive in just about any climate, and I can get all sorts of information about what is going on in the environment around me because I am basically wired into it, which is a gross oversimplification but you didn't come here for a lecture.

[ Damn, but it feels pretty good to not hide what she can do. Screw anonymity, she's nowhere near Earth and its mutant registration act, and she is going to be completely and unashamedly herself. ]

I'm mentioning these things because I'm going to be needing a job pretty soon, so I figured I should put myself out there. Thank you for listening.

[ Her expression shifts into something a bit more amused, and at the same time sort of sad. ]

Oh, and if you have any good hangover remedies? Feel free to share them.

[ She's asking for a friend.

No, seriously, she is. ]

[No recognition at all is a new one, but all Natasha can do is sigh softly. Yet another alternate universe to keep track of. She was going to have to stark keeping a spreadsheet or something.]

I was afraid of that. I do know a version of you from my universe. We've worked together a few times.

[nimbi]

Are you a mutant?

[ Not a prerequisite for working with the x-men, but all the same the question probably doesn't seem out of the blue to someone who knows who they are. ]

[modelsixtythree]

No. Metahuman technically, I suppose, but that's a fairly new development.

Do they not have any of the non X-Men teams where you're from?

[nimbi]

Whoever these teams are, I don't know about them if they do exist.

[ She is going to make an assumption here that Natasha isn't talking about the Brotherhood.]

[modelsixtythree]

[Okay, definitely a very different universe. Interesting.]

I'm going to guess not existing, then. There's enough of them that you'd probably have heard of at least one. Pretty sure there were at least four or five X-Men spinoff teams last time I checked, too.

[nimbi]

Yeah, we're... kind of a solo act where I'm from. So far.

[ She imagines this will change with time. ]

[modelsixtythree]

[Natasha can't help but laugh a little.]

I'm sorry, it's hard for me to imagine. The X-Men have been active longer than I have, sometimes it feels like they've always been around.

[nimbi]

So what does being an avenger mean?

[modelsixtythree]

We're another team, like the X-Men. World-saving, supervillain-punching. That kind of thing.

[nimbi]

And what is a metahuman?

[modelsixtythree]

Generally speaking, anyone with superhuman abilities but no X-gene.

[nimbi]

How do you get abilities like that without the X-gene?

[modelsixtythree]

Lord, take your pick. Science gone wrong, science gone right, cosmic accidents, encounters with aliens, radiation and strange reactions to toxins. And don't even get me started about the magic users. I don't think they even know where it comes from.
