selfhelp: ([billy] it's... kind of a brother thing)

[Action / Voice] evening + morning

[...This doesn't look like Prison #42. At least, not as he recalls it. Billy pushes himself upright in the grass, squinting in the early evening light, and absently lifts a shaking hand to his ears. There's no device there, nothing to prevent him from casting any spells... a fact he proves to himself with a wave of his hand, conjouring up a shirt to go with the unfamiliar white pants he finds himself in. What's all this about, exactly? Some new trick that Stark and Richards came up with to keep their prisoners placated? Or has he - against all odds - been freed and dumped somewhere in the wild?

What've you gotten yourself into now, Kaplan?

Cautiously he lets his magic take him up to the tree line, resting on a high branch to get a better look around. Up ahead, not far in the distance, he can see a village, but it's so small and old-fashioned that he doesn't recognize it at all. Wherever he is, it's pretty remote.

Well, whatever. What does location matter to a witch who can teleport? His priority is finding Cap and the rest of the Young Avengers. Teddy's probably flipping out right about now. Dropping back into a crouch, he sits himself down on the branch, cross-legged, and lifts his hands again, letting the glow return to them, and begins chanting under his breath-]


"IwanttobeinNewYorkIwanttobeinNewYork..."

[Yeah, he's pretty noticeable like that. Especially since he'll be there until he's discovered, pointedly not teleporting to New York. Awkward.]


[In the morning, however, things are a bit different- he's settled (sort of), he's rested (a bit), he's informed (just enough). And he's sorted out how to use the journal. Thus, around mid-afternoon, he sends out a message:]

Okay, this is weird, but... let's give it a try. Hey, uh, whoever's listening out there. I've heard there are people from all over the galaxy, and lots from Earth, especially. That's where I'm from, too. I was wondering, though- are there people living here who'd be considered "super heroes"? Here or on your own world, I mean. I'm actually-

[Actually... he really shouldn't just announce it. What if someone from the Initiative is here and remembers him when they get back to Earth? Even a slim chance isn't worth the risk.]

...I'm actually a huge fan of the superheroes from Earth! You know, heroes like Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-man... I've been a fan since I was a kid. Though I guess it's not unusual for someone from New York. There's a ton of superheroes living in the city these days.

Sorry for rambling so much. To be honest, I'm just nervous... I've never been to another world before.

[....]

Teddy? You here?



[ooc: first dibs to action (chronologically) goes to Buffy, otherwise he is free to be met wherever/whenever. Also if you could have a look at his permissions post I would be much obliged!]

Ain't that the truth.

Well, if he doesn't introduce himself as soon as he sees this, I'll be shocked, so we've got one more here - Iron Man's alive an' kickin'.

[Waaaatching for responses carefully.]

Oh, we have heroes. They're just not super powered ones.

[...this is just weird, okay?

But she's not gonna make any judgement calls yet.]


Yeah, don't let him hear you say that too loudly. [Exasperation (and some fondness) is in her tone] His head's big enough already.

I might know a few.

[Yeesh kid, you sound so disappointed. Logan doesn't know what of make of that. Fortunately it doesn't bother him any.]

There's no superheroes where I come from. Not like the kind on TV.

[Nice Iron Man. He would get a kick out of that.]

Sure thing, kiddo. Got to make the fans feel appreciated after all. [And. They're so few and far between here HE HAS TO, OKAY.]

[two months ago, she'd make a crack about how that was the most impressive thing about him. But. That was before she knew exactly what he'd done in the world where he'd done it.]

It's kinda hard ta miss.

[She will now shift the topic, all without exchanging names, because that is how she rolls.]

Batman was here too.

[Because she's curious.]

Yup.

Pretty sure Luke Skywalker's still around too.

[He's pinged by New York mostly. But jeez Billy, you remind him of his brother.]

There's been more than a few here, since I came. I'm sure you'll run into them, at some point.
