[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.]

[ Also the roll call for Avengers and SHIELD. Who are the X-Men? They sound interesting. ]

The Fantastic Four. You guys sound like you got named like I did. You should have read around a little bit, you know, seen if there was another name in a different newspaper.

[fantasticforcefields]

My husband picked it.

[Reed is also responsible for "Mister Fantastic," "Fantasti-Flare gun" and "the Fantasticar."

He should not be allowed to name anything ever again.]

[fe_male]

That's not how I got named at all. He sounds... Creative.

[ He's about as bad as Batman and Green Arrow, except those guys are fictional, so. ]

[fantasticforcefields]

...His degrees are all in the sciences.

[Yeah no she can't defend Reed on this one.]

[fe_male]

So are mine, but. Hey, hopefully you're just not always known as the collective. I'd assume he didn't name all four of you. What's your story, anyway?

[fantasticforcefields]

I'm the Invisible Woman. [GUESS WHAT HER POWER IS.]

The four of us were in a spaceship whose radiation shielding failed, and we were bombarded with cosmic radiation. It...changed us. [That's how radiation works, duh.]

[fe_male]

[ You just get more and more amusing, js.

Although that's. That sounds an awful lot like cosmic bullshit. And that's with the knowledge that he's got an electromagnet working as a pacemaker. ]

Seriously. You got super space powers.

[fantasticforcefields]

[She doesn't see what's so weird about this, Tony.]

No, it's a radiation-induced mutation, like the Hulk. If anyone has super space powers, it's Galactus and his Heralds. [She says that with a straight face.]

[fe_male]

[ Yeah, well, MCU is like, at least 27% grounded in reality, so ]

I'm not even gonna ask. So Bruce is also multi-dimensional? That's fun.

[fantasticforcefields]

So you have Bruce, but not us?

[Fox.]

[fe_male]

Or the X-Men, whatever they are. Bruce is an Avenger though. There's... Basically us.

[fantasticforcefields]

The X-Men are the major mutant team. [He remembers Emma, right?

Also, saying "just the Avengers" is basically meaningless where Sue's from.] Who's on the main lineup right now?

[she was an avenger once u no]

yeah he remembers emma shhh i am sort of dumb ignore me

[fe_male]

Oh right. Mutants. [ No really i can't... believe - i mean i remembered emma but forgot that meant he knew about the x-men afda shhhh ]

Me, Bruce, Cap, Natasha, Clint. Thor.

i forgot sue's last name was richards once. she hasn't been storm since like 1965.

[fantasticforcefields]

[Sue's not sure what to do with that information. It's not a bad lineup, but there are names she expected to hear that aren't there. Quite a few of them.]

What are the others doing? Carol? Jen? [If they have Hulk, they have She-Hulk, right?]

there's so many things to remember about pretending to be another person

[fe_male]

[ More squinting. ]

Who're they? Agents?

[fantasticforcefields]

Ms. Marvel? She-Hulk?

[What kind of weird timeline are you from, Tony?]

[fe_male]

Who even comes up with these names?

[fantasticforcefields]

...What?

[She gets that the Fantastic Four shtick is a little corny, because Reed, but Ms. Marvel is a perfectly fine name, and She-Hulk is accurate.]

[fe_male]

She-Hulk? Man, come on, just find another adjective. It's not like there aren't a billion of them, especially of those that boil down to 'big'.

[fantasticforcefields]

Jen is Bruce's cousin.

[Look, it all makes perfect sense, okay.]

[fe_male]

I think you can still steal from your family. In fact, I have basically first hand experience that says it's actually easier to do so.

[fantasticforcefields]

That's certainly John--my brother's opinion on leftovers.

[She wanted the rest of that lo mein.

And suddenly Sue realizes living with Tony will mean nothing in the kitchen is safe.]

[fe_male]

[ please, like living with someone actually makes them family

although she's probably still right ]

Big family or just a big appetite?

[fantasticforcefields]

[Given how often they end up in slightly dysfunctional team-ups, half the Marvel universe is like the Four's obnoxious and/or angst-ridden cousins.]

I'm not sure I could cope with more than one of Johnny or Ben.

[fe_male]

Yeah, sounds like family all right.
