Despite better judgment, TJ had decided against going right into the Bryant Park Hotel after her "uncle" had dropped her off there. At least she knew of somewhere safe to go now, when she had to, but she wanted to explore a bit first.

Pietro had mentioned that there were monsters around, and the destruction itself was a clear testament to that. But still she couldn't help but walk with a bit of a skip to her step simply because she could. She was far from coming to terms with the fact that her powers were barely functioning here, but she couldn't deny the fact that she felt better physically than she had in months. As bad off as this reality seemed to be it had a small part of her looking forward to actually maybe helping some people again. To really being able to. It had been a very long time

Billy had been to this place before, in the Manhattan he came from, although it wasn't his local so much as the one he went to on the days when he wanted to ... take a detour on the way home from school, and the Avengers' mansion, for whatever reason, wasn't an option - he wasn't the only one who liked to go there, after all, and it was hard to try to be alone with one's thoughts when there were kids running around whooping and pretending to be Iron Man. A comic book store was a lot quieter, and, since it wasn't the one where he was an every-Wednesday regular and he was on first-name terms with the staff, he didn't get engaged in conversation nearly as often. Which was nice, when he just wanted to sulk with his bruises, alternating thinking about why everything sucked and flipping through back issues.

He'd been feeling kind of detour-y lately. And since the mansion didn't exist in this Manhattan, Billy had sort of unconsciously meandered in the direction of the store. He was kind of surprised to find it was still there - but not as

Beast Boy had been called many things in his life. It came hand in hand with the way he looked and both positive and negative (though he tended to shrug the negative off a lot since he liked the way he looked) things were said, but he always knew that chicks dug the way he looked. Well, Terra did anyways and to be honest that was all that really mattered. But it was the word that she'd used that made him glance up from his comic and stare at her. 'Skrull'? He'd not heard that one before, and was unsure if she meant it in a good or a bad way. He decided to make an executive decision.

"Uh. Thanks... I guess," he offered, smiling awkwardly before adding, "Whatever that is anyways." There was a short awkward pause between them, only broken by the slight rustling of the comic in his hand before he decided to break it by blurting out, "But I like them so far! The Fantastic Four, I mean. They're pretty sweet and I always dig all the old stuff. The Human Torch is kinda like my friend Hotspot, cept I don't think I've ever seen him actually

"Wait, so you're not a skrull?" In TJ's mind the question was immediately followed by 'Then what are you exactly?' but she bit the comment back (though she couldn't quite hide the confused look that crossed her face- her eyebrow arching in disbelief), because that was just plain rude. She would know, seeing as she'd been receiving similar jabs her entire life. The boy could be another mutant whose x-gene had very unfortunately graced him with looks almost identical to skrulls', or he could be something else entirely. Either way, he didn't seem particularly fazed by her assumptions
