This is ridiculous.

People get lost in South Brooklyn all the time but I don't. So here's the deal. Team, you respond to this as fast as you can and I'll pretend that you guys didn't abandon me in the middle of an invasion. Anyone else? Don't bother with directions. I don't need directions. Either my team will find me or I'll find them.

Or else

[A light exhale, mostly amused sounding.] Well, I'd know those interpersonal skills anywhere.

[righttodissent]

Should I be blaming you for this?

voice;

[cantyouhearmy]

Whoa, hey. This wasn't my fault.

I mean, Eli, c'mon. Logic. How could I possibly have managed this? Iwanttoteleporteveryone,evenpeoplewhoarefictional,toacitylikeNewYorkbutnotandputanIronMansuitinchargeandgetridofthepoliceandgiveeveryonecommunicatorsanddogtagsandmakethemfightcrimeforme is a bit of a mouthful.

voice;

[righttodissent]

I'm not saying you did it on purpose.

I'm pretty sure logic stopped applying when Ted tossed out sci-fi snatch and grab.

Who the hell put Iron Man in charge?

voice;

[cantyouhearmy]

Well, it wasn't me. As far as I know, no one knows who brought us here, except up until recently it was walking around and pretending to be Iron Man.

The actual Iron Man is here, but he's mostly just. You know. Walking around and pretending he isn't a douche. Spoiler: It isn't working.

voice;

[righttodissent]

I kind of knew it wasn't you.

And the rest of the team? Who else is here?

voice;

[cantyouhearmy]

Kate, Tommy. We had Cassie, but she got zapped home a few weeks ago. So. Who knows how long that will last.

You'd have to check with Teddy 'cause he's been here longer, but I think he said Vision was here for a while. But that was months ago.

voice;

[righttodissent]

I'll check.

How long have you been here, then?

voice;

[cantyouhearmy]

Uh. Beginning of April? Which would make it... Geez, two months? I'm not sure if it feels like shorter or longer, but that doesn't sound right.

voice;

[righttodissent]

Two months.

And Ted's been here over six.

And Kate? Where is she, anyway?

voice;

[cantyouhearmy]

Kate's been here longer than me, at least this time around, but not as long as Teddy. She's probably out on patrol by this point, but she'll show up when she gets around to checking in on the comm.

voice;

[righttodissent]

Right.

I'll give her the third degree later.

voice;

[cantyouhearmy]

Yeah.

I kinda skipped over this bit before. Sucks you're stuck here with us, dude, but it is really good to hear from you.

voice;

[righttodissent]

[Silence, for a moment.]

Yeah. Well, at least I'm not stuck here alone.

voice; private

[cantyouhearmy]

Soooo. Teddy says you're asking about what's been going on. Lately.

voice; private

[righttodissent]

Wouldn't you?

...don't answer that. Just tell me what's going on around here.
