[Video, open] This is not the speedster you think you know

[cantcatchme]

[Pietro's looking a bit more clean-cut than he has been lately (he's been letting his hair grow out a little these past few months). He also appears confused, bordering on annoyed. The background is clearly a section of Poseidon, from high up. He appears to be on a tall building.]

Quicksilver here. Wherever here is. It's sure as hell not HQ, and I'm definitely not wearing my clothes. [Yes, he is. He made them himself, even.] And this isn't my communicator. What gives? Scarlet Witch? Cap? Anybody copy? [He looks away, grumbling the last part just loudly enough for the mic to pick up.] Fuck, I'd take Clint if he could tell me what the hell's going on.

Okay, so is you having crazy time going to make you late for dinner?

[Ugh. Molly doesn't need this. He doesn't need this. What now, and why now, and will poorly delivered sarcasm make anything better? He's almost sure the answer to that last one is no.]

[Video]

[cantcatchme]

Why, are you offering to make me some? [Don't judge. He's hungry.]

...wait, aren't you Nightcrawler?

[The X-men get airtime on the news in his world, too, apparently.]

[thefuzzyguy]

[He decides not to waste time pointing out that Pietro lives down the hall from him. Has a second Quicksilver woken up? It's certainly possible, if weird.]

Ja, that's me, the amazing blue guy. Did you, um, just wake up in a creepy pod on the spaceship outside town?

[Because that would be so much simpler.]

[cantcatchme]

Nope. I woke up here. In the middle of the street. Dressed in these clothes. Seriously, I don't know what 'Pietro' you all think you know, but it isn't me. Though I suppose I wouldn't be too opposed to a meal.

[Sorry, Kurt. A bit more complicated than that. Things can never be easy.]

[thefuzzyguy]

[Oh, good, because if something easy happened what would he do with himself?]

Wouldn't be the first time, I guess. That's pretty much how we got Molly. ...So the thing about coming to in the street is the less weird part for you?

[cantcatchme]

Weird sh-stuff happens. [Where he's from, Cap gets on him for swearing. It's impulse to correct himself, at this point] It's part of the job. But usually that doesn't involve someone else dressing me, even if they do have good taste.

[thefuzzyguy]

The Pietro who usually eats all my cooking definitely made that.

[He doesn't usually pay much attention to clothes, but he does remember Pietro babbling about it now. Oh, this is weird.]

[cantcatchme]

Well... good. If someone who was supposed to be me had a terrible fashion sense, that would just be embarrassing.

[thefuzzyguy]

It bothers me that this is what bothers you.

[cantcatchme]

Hey, a guy's gotta have priorities. Keeps me sane when things start getting weird. Though if you're going to fill me in on where I am and who all these people are who think they know me, be my guest.

[thefuzzyguy]

We're on a planet where we got dumped by a spaceship that steals people from their own universes und plunks them in another one.

[This may not be the Pietro he's used to, but they're alike enough that he can't shake old habits, like a general air of exasperation.]

As for who we are... I don't even know where to start. Uh, names? But that doesn't really mean anything if you don't know us.

[He's thinking of the alternate timelines he's experienced. Things didn't always translate.]

[cantcatchme]

Man, I wish I could claim that that's the weirdest thing that's happened to me lately. And names are proooobably a good start. Or codenames. I'm more likely to know those, I think.

[Or at least, they're more likely to pop up on the news in his world.]

[thefuzzyguy]

Uh, Nightcrawler, Toad... I don't know if Molly really has a codename that people know besides her.

[He remembers something about Princess Powerful.]

[cantcatchme]

Yeah. You're the only one that rings a bell, dude. And only since the whole mutants coming out of the closet bit.

[thefuzzyguy]

Oh, good, that still happened.

[It would be nice to think of another reality where he didn't have to deal with that.]

[cantcatchme]

It was kind of hard to miss, yeah.

[thefuzzyguy]

Anything involving us is usually going to be, ja. Were there giant robots?

[cantcatchme]

Well, at least one, anyway. It was all over the news.
