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.

That's just giving him a reason to bother you more.

[biwinning]

I'm okay with that, maybe.

[selfequipped]

I'll remind you of this if you ever come to regret it. He is Loki, after all.

[biwinning]

See, I don't know him, so I don't know what "he is loki" means in the grand scheme of things. I could say "Well, they ARE Imperial Drones" and you'd have no idea what the hell I'm talking about either.

[selfequipped]

Norse mythology, sorry. God of mischief.

[biwinning]

You have those kind of things??

[selfequipped]

Apparently. You just accept it.

[biwinning]

... Yeah, I've been there.

[On the "you just accept the weird after a while" train.]

[selfequipped]

I grew up with it. All the weird stuff really got going when I was a little girl. That plus New York City made it a way of life.

[biwinning]

Ith it though, considered weird, if you grew up with it? Isn't it just "normal" then?

[selfequipped]

Not to me, but when you're aware that the rest of the US doesn't have it, there's at least a mild level of consciousness about it.

[biwinning]

No other part of your country has Norse Gods?

[selfequipped]

No, the rest has that. I was referring to the massive amount of weirdness.

[biwinning]

I find it even less probable that only one part of the whole country had that amount of weirdness.

[selfequipped]

You haven't been to New York.

[biwinning]

You don't know that.

[selfequipped]

No, but subtract the superheroes, and New York is still the weirdest.
