[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

[Dude, you're um...you're green.]

This place is called Promenade. We're dreaming or some ridiculous thing like that.

[thenicehulk]

[He can be other colors too.]

Promenade? [Quick pause because he's surprised he even got a reply.] Dreaming? This isn't real?

[redhotsummers]

Yeah I don't get it, either. I've been here only a couple days.

[He points to the mirror]

Yeah. We're like...

...trapped within a dream world or something.

[He shrugs, suddenly feeling stupid. He isn't good at explaining. Crap welcome wagon.]

Sorry.

[thenicehulk]

Days? [This is not good news. Clawed hand gets run through his hair and he looks back at the mirror.]

Okay. I honestly don't know how to react to this.

[He sighs.]

Don't apologize. Not your fault. [A beat then he offers a smile.] I'm Hulkling.

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

[thenicehulk]

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

Billy?!

[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?

voice;

[arethebettermen]

[ Because video sucks and masks suck. ]

Ah, Teddy, isn't it? I know someone who will be glad to see you.

voice;

[thenicehulk]

[And this gets a concerned and suspicious look.]

Who are you and who do you know?

voice;

[arethebettermen]

Professor Charles Xavier... I am acquainted with a William Kaplan.

[thenicehulk]

Professor Xavier?! [His jaw drops. Of course the shock wears off quickly when that second name is said. Teddy's expression goes very serious and concerned.]

Where is he?

[coolexec]

It's not actually a StarkPhone unless it's taken that shape. It's a PORTAL. But good to have you back in the city again.

video;

[thenicehulk]

[That's a voice he recognizes pretty quickly too.]

PORTAL? What do you mean back? Where is this place?

video;

[coolexec]

Okay, you don't remember being here before, it's fine, Pepper doesn't either. Right, the PORTAL is the communication device they give everyone when they wake up here in Promenade, the dream city. You were here before for a while, same as Billy.

I'll send you some files.

[Sent to Teddy's PORTAL are:
Stark PORTAL guide PDF
Lavi information
Dr Glaser Promenade Guide PDF]

Where or what is here, Ironman? Dream city? [He pauses, that name obviously getting his attention.] Billy's here?

[He frowns, skimming the files when they open. His expression becomes one of shock.] Oh man...
