01. [Video]
[A teenage girl, an almost forced serious expression on her face. Odd, from the neck down, it seems like she's in a kind of uniform, black and line-covered. What's even more odd, she's got a mask covering the top half of her face.]
Hello. [She clears her throat, because this sounds somewhat timid.] Hello! We've all heard that there are...rooms with ( Read more... )

Another dilemma is...does he want to reveal himself as a metahuman? So far, no one he knows is here or in the pods. Finally he shakes his head, because it's rude to stare like that even over a video connection]
Where are the rooms? I'd really like to get out of this goo covered gown. [he pulls at it as if to demonstrate]
And last I remember Earth was fine, I mean, unless something happened when we were abducted?
[ hesitates before asking] Also, uh, did you say meta-humans? As in, people with special abilities. Cause I recognize that term, but I don't recognize any of those group names.
[He looks unsure, mostly because he's wondering if it's safe to reveal that much. It should be right? Meta-humans and the Justice League are common ( ... )

[Likely, there is a better word for it, but she-- Well, she can't think of it right now]
A woman led me here, so... I could try and, um. Find my way back down.
[Now that that pressing problem is out of the way, she bites her lip and taps her chin, a little confusion evident in her eyes; or maybe it's always been there.]
I mean...well... Dr. Pym told us about alternate worlds so maybe-- of course things wouldn't be like that for everyone... Well... There was...a lot of bad stuff happening, and...
[And alternate universe, it would explain how he didn't recognize any of the teams, and yet...she bites her lip deeper, because she almost found someone who could help, she thought for a moment.]
It's...hard to explain. I don't even know who's doing it, but last I remember... [And she just sighs and continues] Yes, meta-humans. Or...mutants, we're ( ... )

[He suddenly looks a little embarrassed cause he's talking to this girl in nothing but a hospital gown. SO not cool] Uh, yeah...just wanted to make sure we're using the same terminology here as far as meta-humans is concerned.
[he considers that for a moment] Yeah it could explain why I don't recognize any of those...uhm...unless they're like branches of the Justice League or something. [you can tell he seriously doubts that]

And I've never heard of that team. [Whelp!] I guess that settles it. Um, then-- I guess I'm more comfortable with being called Maddy. If I don't have to use my, uh, moniker.

She also said some important stuff, though, and John thinks he might actually be able to provide answers. But he hesitates for a moment, because how do you break the news that there is no Earth anymore? It's still kind of hard to imagine.
Kind of really hard.]
Um, hi, Veil! [He fidgets.]
When were you last on Earth?

Well, right before I ended up here, actually. In...Washington D.C.
[For a moment she looks kinda distant and her eyes get hazy, but-- but then she's back, focused.]

[It must be time shenanigans again. It's definitely been a while since... everything. At this point, John really has no idea what happened when.]
Wow, this is... Well, you see, I don't think there's an Earth anymore. Or there won't be. I don't know when you came from. You must be from another session, I guess?

Wh-- gone?! Oh no, no way, everyone's-- They can't all be-- [wait a second] ...session?
