[The video opens focused on a pair of large boots and the floor. After a moment the picture blurs as the PORTAL is flipped over. Now the video shows a young man in a dark blue mask that covers most of his head. Oddly enough, the visible skin is green. He reaches up to idly scratch at one of the silver earrings glinting in the light and then looks

... Okay, nobody can deny that I casted 'Summon Teddy' now. [He is grinning so big.]

[Video]

[thenicehulk]

[Oh he recognizes that voice before he even sees the video.]

Billy?!

[Video]

[zapswithmagic]

Hey. Fancy seeing you here. [Jokes a little then pauses for a moment.]

... I'm getting the feeling you don't remember being here before.

[Video]

[thenicehulk]

Billy. [Serious expression time.] Do you know how we got here?

...what do you mean before?

[Video]

[zapswithmagic]

I was afraid you'd say that. [He sighs.] This place kind of pulls people from all over, different worlds, different universes even... Time travel too. Gotta love time travel, right? Like there are fictional people from our world here, such as Harry Dresden. And then there are people we know from different universes, like there's another Tony Stark. And then there are people who are from worlds where we're in comic books. It's kind of crazy.

You were here before and so was I, but we both got taken home at some point. I was brought back a couple days ago but... I remember being here before. I knew someone who was here before and came back with their memory of this place gone so that must be what happened to you...

[He looks thoughtful for a moment then gets an 'I'm so stupid' look.] Wait, why am I just telling you about this over this thing. Hang on a second, I'll be right there.

[Aaaaaaaaand Billy is teleporting himself to where ever you are.

Hi, Teddy.]

[Video to Action]

[thenicehulk]

Why were you afraid I'd say that? [Teddy listens quietly. He seems relieved, if only slightly, when Billy doesn't say he or Wanda did this. Time travel coming up gets a sigh and he starts to ask a question but stops when Billy goes on. He just looks pretty shocked by the continued explanation, running his hand through his hair.]

Okay...

[And Billy should prepare to get grabbed and pulled into a big, green embrace the moment he appears.]

[zapswithmagic]

[He gives a big hug in return.] I'm so glad to see you. It took you like a month to show up here the first time. I thought I'd be waiting even longer this time around.

[thenicehulk]

[Not letting go, nope.] I'm happy to see you too. This is...a bit much to take in, Billy. A few minutes ago we were watching the Scarlet Witch try to give that guy from X-Factor his powers back and now...here.

[zapswithmagic]

[That is totally okay.] ... That's the last thing I remember happening back home too.

[thenicehulk]

[He pulls back enough to press his forehead to Billy's.] And now we're in some kind of crazy alternate dimension? [He shifts out of his green form and back to his human appearance.] How do we get home?

[zapswithmagic]

We're... kind of stuck for the moment. Possibly for awhile. A long while. But... we'll get home eventually. We did before. ... [Tries to look on the bright side.] At least we're stuck together now...? I'll try not to disappear again.

[thenicehulk]

Stuck? [He sighs, closing his eyes for a moment. When Billy mentions disappearing, there's a flash of anger in Teddy's features. It's slowly replaced by hurt.] Try not to rush off on your own in the middle of the night again too.

[zapswithmagic]

... I am in so much trouble for that, aren't I. I'm really really really sorry.

[thenicehulk]

Among other things. [He places a kiss on Billy's forehead then pulls him closer again.] Just don't do it again. Was worried about you...

[zapswithmagic]

I'll try. I just... It was my fault we were in that mess and I didn't want to get anyone involved or hurt when I could have just done it myself... It just didn't really go the way I'd hoped it would.

I'm such an idiot, huh.

[thenicehulk]

Damn right you are if you just said that to me. [Teddy pulls back again, that mix of angry and hurt back.]

what did I tell Cap? Where you go, I go. We're partners. I'm involved whether or not you or anyone else wants it.
