Hi, I'm Kate Bishop, and I'm a superhero. [There's a pause before she goes on.] There's a chance that doesn't mean much to many of you. There may even be some of you questioning the legality of vigilantes, but I'm not the type that goes too far. There's a reason why we kind of prefer "superhero" over "vigilante" anyway. For those of you who do know them, I'm an Avenger. But that's meaningless here. And I'm not really here to ... brag, either.

[Her voice is warm either way. There's a reason why she's here.]

Back home, I've got a like-minded group that tends to go on missions like the ones here. I was hoping to form something like that. It won't be the same, but I've got a couple teammates and not the whole set. We'd do pretty well for ourselves, but we need a couple more helping hands. So that's why I'm here. Well, partly.

[There is a question she has about this whole alternate earth business, but she'll get to it. She really wants a cohesive unit working together, as that seems to be the best way to proceed forward.]

The other goal I'd like for our group is to mobilize and help people in need. I can do this myself, and I'm planning on it, but more hands at the deck might help out. We don't just need this in missions, and from what I've read, we don't know what's gonna come next. I know it's risky to put together a group like this with how people come and go, but I'm prepared to deal with that. Plus, I don't just back down from something. I'm kind of stubborn that way.

If you've already got something like this going and wouldn't mind a few more people, I'd love to chat with you. I'm an archer mostly, but I have other gifts. One member is a ... [a trickster? How does one even sell Loki?] ... well, I'm sure he's good at something. And the final is an alien with advanced knowledge of technology that he might share. He's also got bug DNA and is extremely flexible. [That last bit. She really had to add that last bit.] So let me know.

The other question is: in the annals of this world, have people of Earth found evidence that they existed? Back home, alternate Earths like this usually mean ... alternate versions of us, which can either be a good thing, or a very, very bad thing. I'm thinking bad, considering the state of things. I was just wondering.

I stand corrected. But I can't imagine them not having something. I keep going back to that.

[kneecaptain]

Wasn't all the way done. Or else we would've had a lot more.

Sorry. I was butting in. This guy is kind of a tool.

text;

[selfequipped]

Oh, you mean the kind of tool who asks for a long explanation and then shoots it down? That kind of tool?

Because I noticed.

text;

[kneecaptain]

You're a genius. Right?

text;

[selfequipped]

What's your beef with him otherwise, or is it the same kind of toolery? (I'm allowed to make up words if they seem applicable.)

text;

[kneecaptain]

People who don't show their face on these things usually got something to hide.

[ Also the same kind of toolery. ]

text;

[selfequipped]

He's throwing a party, apparently. I'll send you a picture of his face. We can rate him.

text;

[kneecaptain]

Are you trying to set me up?

text;

[selfequipped]

Do you like guys who probably use their Twitter accounts to make jerk statements that get enshrined in buzz feed for all of eternity for being stupid?

text; I'm so sorry for spamming you.

[hashtagyolt]

Buzzfeed is so lowbrow. Any dumbass can accumulate some gifs and be a hero for a day.

text;

[selfequipped]

And that's why you're the twitter user they make fun of, rather than the "journalist" putting together the article.

text;

[hashtagyolt]

Don't insult journalists, there are still like three who write for the Times and make a living at it.

My point is that the whole of Buzzfeed is a problem and needs to go.

text;

[selfequipped]

One of the best women I ever met was a journalist. I was just referring to Buzzfeed authors with the right amount of levity.

But I think we've in agreement, so that's that.

text;

[hashtagyolt]

Okay. Que sera sera, like you said.

text;

[kneecaptain]

I like to keep a low profile.

text;

[selfequipped]

Then aggressive twitter user guy just isn't your type.

text;

[kneecaptain]

But it's nice of you to try.

text;

[hashtagyolt]

I'm easily an 8.5. Anything above that is probably a matter of personal taste anyway.

text;

[selfequipped]

Oh, yeah, your text is very attractive.

text;

[hashtagyolt]

It's less trendy than Helvetica, but I was never much for fashion.

text;

[selfequipped]

The fact that it's not Helvetica is why you'll never truly be an 8.5.

text;

[hashtagyolt]

Burn.

What would unironic Comic Sans get me? I'm suddenly feeling depressed and oddly childish.

text;

[selfequipped]

A pity 5.

text;

[hashtagyolt]

It's how I feel right now.

text;

[selfequipped]

Really? I'd say I feel for you. But I don't. And I'm a bleeding heart type, so I wonder what you're doing wrong.
