[On the screen is a blond woman, to all appearances human and doing a not-quite-perfect job hiding the kind of resigned annoyance only seen in those for whom getting hauled across space and time is just a bothersome day at the office. She's instantly recognizable to people from a wide number of related universes—it's Susan Richards, the Invisible Woman, visible for this conversation and wearing a black-and-white version of the Fantastic Four's classic blue uniform with the distinctive "4" logo on the chest. It's been almost two days and there's no sign of her teammates, so it's time to cast a wider net.]

Hello. My name is Susan Richards. I'm going to swallow my pride and assume that doesn't mean anything to most of you. [The necessity of doing so doesn't seem to bother her, even though the idea of not being known on sight is strange. Sue laughs a little, and lets go of her irritation. The only real problem here is that her family isn't, and that's always been a self-correcting state of affairs.]

If it does, however, do me a favor and check in? Avengers, X-Men, SHIELD—I'm not picky. [Sue's already run into two people from home. Maybe there are more. She'll even take villains, if only so she can keep an eye on them.]

Everyone else, nice to meet you. Lovely weather we're having, isn't it?

[OOC: Fourth-walling is okay as long as your character's not going to be a jerk about it. Canon fail post is thisaway.]

I've, uh— been dead.

[fantasticforcefields]

Ah. How long were you gone?

[Superhero small talk, ladies and gentlemen.]

[kneecaptain]

Still dead.

[ Not really, but he's been faking it. ]

[fantasticforcefields]

[All right, that's a little weird. Sue gives him a look.] You're the liveliest corpse I've seen that isn't trying to drink my blood.

[I don't even remember if they've ever faced Dracula but probably so eh.]

[kneecaptain]

[ It's all about Baron Blood, y'all. ]

The machine. It brings people back.

[fantasticforcefields]

[If you can stop laughing at his costume long enough to fight him.]

The one that brought us here?

[Bucky you should feel bad for lying to Sue.]

[kneecaptain]

[ Angst's gotta do what angst's gotta do. ]

Everyone who dies here comes back.

[fantasticforcefields]

[She'll tell Cap on him!!]

Hmm. Do you know how they do it?

[Sue's well-used to death being a temporary state, so the only question here is methods.]

[kneecaptain]

[ a) Steve's not his father b) he's in on it ]

Not a clue.

[ He was gonna say "not a goddamn clue" but Sue seems like the kind of lady you don't swear around. ]

[fantasticforcefields]

[No, you do not swear in front of Sue.]

Well, worrying about it isn't going to help anything.

[Reed would know. Sue's just the one who keeps him alive so that he can continue to endanger the planet through carelessness.]

I'll ask someone in the Initiative.

[Of course they'll talk to Sue. Everyone talks to Sue.]

[kneecaptain]

Yeah. They act like they're tryin' to be helpful, anyway.

[fantasticforcefields]

We'll see just how much of that is an act.

[Sue's nice, not stupid.]
