[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.]

[What no. Sue will just nope off into the sun...later, once she finishes this conversation.

If he ever shows up, Batman better watch himself.]

We were the first after World War II.

[Do not think about timelines for one single second.]

That's a long time. [ if he picks up on that subtext at all he keeps it out of his tone. ]

...But I guess where you're from that could mean anything.

There was a long gap between the war and the accident that gave my family our powers. ...What are yours, if you don't mind me asking?

[Of course he has powers, right? No baseline preteen is running around being a superhero, right?]

Nah, I don't mind. [ and he says it good-naturedly. ]

But the boss makes the rules. Franchise secret.

And who's the boss? Is he or she here?

[So Sue can tear them apart for endangering a child. :| ]

Not yet he isn't. I think they kinda figured out ahead of time that if they pulled him in with the rest of the pack we'd all be out of here in time for dinner. [ That's his theory and he's sticking with it. ]

It does surprise me no one's reverse-engineered the machine that brought us here yet.

[The one thing that's a more pressing concern than child soldiers.]

Yeah...

I'm thinking they have some kind of defense perimeter set up. I haven't found a way past it yet. [ He sounds apologetic. ]

Do you know if anyone's asked to see it?

[There she goes, having faith in human nature again.]
