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'm not really one for sugar coating things.

[Unless kids are involved, but that's different.

Anyway, to actually answer the question:]


Exsilium was basically a convict colony, the levels of tech were all over the place, since a lot of it had to be scavenged. So while we do have time travel tech, they didn't have like, toaster ovens. Whatever scientific equipment you need to work with time travel probably wasn't available outside the Initiative Hold, and they didn't like to share their toys.

If you mean using time travel, this is where I should mention that before we got up to the moon, we had absolutely no control over missions.

The Initiative were in control, but all but a few of them stayed in the city when the bomb was dropped.

Yeah. We're still trying to figure out how to work on our own.

Since Ocbtober, which makes it seem like we've been sitting around with our thumbs up our asses for way too long, but between the zombies and the mutiny bullshit, it's been hard to get organized.

[The look that passes across her features isn't a very nice one, though at least it's not actually directed at Kate.

She just has a lot of feelings about the mutiny.]


You can say that again.

Pretty much. There's been talk of councils and codes and all that, but we kinda lost momentum when we came back down here.
controlledvariable: (Civvies -- booooooooored)

→ video cries at this tag i'm sorry

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2014-01-12 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
The problem is that if we're in this for the long run, we need to get our shit organized on the ground before we start saving the world.
controlledvariable: (PB >> this will not do)

;A;

[She holds her hands up in a don't look at me sort of gesture.]

Politics really isn't my thing either. I'm not touching any of that with a ten foot pole. And I don't think anyone wants a vigilante's opinion on a code of conduct, anyway.

That sounds like a really stupid idea.

[just saying.]

Suddenly I'm glad the superheroes back home don't meddle in politics. [a beat, and:] I mean, aside from Lex Luthor being president, but he's more on the supervillain side of things.

[just a little.]

It's kind of complicated, the general public didn't really know about the supervillain thing.
