I finally see what you all were talking about with the whole waking up on the ship thing.

[Pietro looks tense, but he's dressed, at least. However, the uniform is unfamiliar. He's clearly still inside the ship.]

But can someone tell me why my powers aren't working?!

[His voice climbs a few octaves closer to panic at the end.]

Everything, I think. Why?

Or... I'm guessing I'm the only one who stuck around, huh. Or came back.

Unless someone's playing their cards reallyclose to their chest, yeah.

[He scrubs a hand over his face, as though it will wipe away either weariness or alternate universe confusion.]

Which doesn't really bode well for the guy who was here before you.

[cantcatchme]

I... it's not like I did it on purpose. I'd rather be back home, believe me. [He looks a little guilty. He never meant to take someone's place.]

[nodavinci]

[Aw, crap. Guilty teenager, how do?]

Hey, easy. No one's saying you did it on purpose. Actually, no one's saying it's a result of anything you did.

[cantcatchme]

Yeah, but how can we be sure? And how do I tell this other me's friends that hey, they might never see him again, but at least you still get to see his face every day!

[nodavinci]

We can be sure because unless you broke one of the laws of physics and aren't telling me, there's nothing you did that someone else who was swapped didn't do.

[Yeah, that includes dying.]

And look - this might all be new to you, but the rest of us are getting used to this transdimensional crap. His friends might not be comfortable talking to a stranger with their buddy's face, but they'll be able to grasp what's going on.

[cantcatchme]

I try not to break the laws of physics. Overall, they've been very good to me. [He can do some badass stuff at top speed, okay?]

That doesn't make it any less weird, but I guess I'll give it a shot. I still wish some of my darn team knew who I was, though.
