There's a boy. He looks a little like someone else that frequents the Nexus on occasion, less a couple years and a few packs of disposable razors.

Robert Baldwin grins cheerfully as he throws himself into a cushy chair, pulling long blond hair out of his eyes.

"So what's this I hear about time going all screwy?"

That voice is kind of familiar. Possibly from that time that the New Warriors and GenX ended up fighting each other, then fighting together. Or it could be that he recognizes it from the guy with the spikes.

Either way, Jono tilts his head slightly. 'S the Nexus, mate. This sorta stuff happens all the time.

[nipplefaucets]

There's a passing resemblance to both. And of course, after Stamford Robbie's face and name were plastered everywhere.

"Yeah? I'd gotten the impression that this was sort of different from the usual, but what does the newbie know?"

[psi_flames]

Nexus floodin' with time? Yeah, 'at's new. Stuff what fucks people up royally? He shrugs. At least nothing happened to him. Like the blue clown lips of DOOOOOM. *cough*

[nipplefaucets]

"Yeah? No rhyme or reason to it? No way to stop it?"

Hey, now. What's wrong with blue li -- shaddup Nur, no one asked you.

[rp4me]

Woohooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[nipplefaucets]

An orange cat leaps out from nearby, as the watch runs past. "Niels! No!" Robbie shouts, but the cat... does not heed him. SHINYNOISYRUNNING!!!1!

[rp4me]

Yipe!

The pockwatch runs under the nearest sofa and cowers there.

[nipplefaucets]

Niels sticks a paw under the sofa after it, flailing for the NOISYSHINY!! At least until Robbie goes over and grabs him. The cat yowls and stuggles, but Robbie holds on. "Didn't you hear the guy? No eating the stuff here, fuzzface."

This would be your cue to run for it, little screaming pocketwatch.

[mathemanic]

Hot on his heels is a hatrack of a man in full panic mode.

"Ohhhh no. Nonononono. This is not right.... Time is ... screwed up and you fell into it and--I just know I'm going to be blamed for this, the differentials are all off and I can't--get a fix on where it went wrong--I need to get you back to the base so I can focus--get your planar shifts realigned.... oh, this is ... not right....

[nipplefaucets]

At Tom's appearance Robbie sits up straighter, his hand curling into a fist. He only barely keeps himself from turning into Speedball. Not in public! Not even in a place as crazy as this. Play dumb, instead.

"Listen -- uh, whoever you are. I told you, I don't know what you're talking about."

[mathemanic]

Flail. Oh, for the love of Feynman, the boy doesn't even recognise him and this place is giving him a migraine.

"You usually do not, trust me. I'm used to it. Now listen--whatever this is has turned your eigenvectors completely... it's regressed the quantum zeno torsion along the--alpha string. The numbers have to be rebalanced within the entire second dirac field or your timeline could de-spiral itself!"

[nipplefaucets]

"Stiiiill don't know what you're talking about. Beginning to think I don't really care."

[smartassmerc]

"Now, that's the Screwball we all know and love!" Deadpool says.

[nipplefaucets]

"Yeah? I knew I had a fan club. Didn't know there were any heroes in it."

What, he's supposed to know about superheroes? He'd have to be Speedball or something to know stuff like that! Ahahaha. >_>

[smartassmerc]

"Eh, who cares. So long as you distract your girlfriend with your boyish charms next time she shows. That Squirrel Girl is scary!"

[nipplefaucets]

"Dude." Aww, watch him go scarlet. "She's not -- how did you..."

Right, this is that crazy mercenary guy, isn't it? The one that knows way too much about things he really shouldn't.

[run_dont_think]

"I dunno. Time went really screwy a while back, and a bunch of heroes gathered to stop it and I disappeared when my time died but then they fixed it and it's all cool now," Bart says.

[nipplefaucets]

"So, like, typical superhero stuff." There would be something here about 'thank GOD Marvel doesn't have Crises,' but considering some of the things they do have... "Cool goggles."

[run_dont_think]

"Thanks! I'm Impulse. Fastest kid alive!" He grins.

[nipplefaucets]

"Yeah? I'm Robbie. Fastest kid in line at lunch."
