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.

Hey, I'm not going to fault anyone for being busy. Though I think anyone could do without that mutiny.

[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.

[She catches the look, but knows it's best not to comment on it. She can tell it's not directed at her, either.]

So we're where we are now, the ball's in our court, so to speak.

Pretty much. There's been talk of councils and codes and all that, but we kinda lost momentum when we came back down here.

I'll skip organizing ideas of how we should behave if it means we're saving the world.

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.

You won't mind if I leave that to you guys, will you? Not that I'm impartial to the idea, but politics isn't my arena. And it reminds me of a bad thing back home.

[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.

[kanyeshrug]

Yeah, we had a say in it back home.

Let's just say that the mutiny followed.

[Of course, she was on the side of that one, but let's be real: who wouldn't be?]

That sounds like a really stupid idea.

[just saying.]

Well, thankfully they learned from their lesson. Eventually. [Just ... a lot of bad stuff happened first. And her voice seems to say as much.]

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.]

Someone allowed a supervillain to become president? [Wait, except:] The worst we got was Norman Osborn leading our top government spy agency. But at least he wasn't president. [It was bad enough.]

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

It was a picture of not knowing and not caring on our end.

I can't imagine the population being well-informed about spy agencies, yeah.

Oh, no, they know that one. Maybe too well, as things go.
