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.]

... Pietro?

[Todd is eying the screen dubiously-- obviously from the back of the mammoth, since it's a higher and slightly darker perch than Thing One would be.]

Which one of you is it?

[He'll address the power thing later.]

[cantcatchme]

The one who still thinks you're kind of a weirdo. [Pietro crosses his arm and arches an eyebrow.] And if that doesn't clarify things... I'm the Avenger.

Did you bring another pet home or something?

[Video]

[catchingflies]

Yeah, you always think I'm a weirdo. So you're that one. The not-Brotherhood one.

[He's not sure whether he's glad or disappointed. The not-Brotherhood one was kind of a jerk, but they're both jerks, and he had stood up for him against evil!Kurt. But they've got no shared history anymore. Can he even call this one a friend? Privately, that is?]

This? This ain't mine, this is Pepper's. She's a mammoth. I look after her and her buddy most mornings.

[cantcatchme]

Yeah, man. That one.

[He still feels... kind of irrationally sorry that he's not the other Pietro.]

Wait, Pepper has a mammoth? Like, Pepper Potts, right? Man, I've got a lot to catch up on.

[catchingflies]

[He'd better be sorry. That way maybe he'll keep being the nicer kind of Pietro instead of the kind of Pietro who doesn't want anything to do with a weirdo like Todd.]

Yeah, two of 'em. They're pretty cool. Get out of the ship and you can run here to check 'em out in like two seconds.

[That's an exaggeration. But not too much of one.]

[cantcatchme]

Maybe I'll swing by. Promised I'd pop in on Pepper first, though. Will you be there long? [He didn't ask where it was. There's only so many places in town that could house giant prehistoric mammals.]

[catchingflies]

Until noon. Which should be, y'know, way long enough for you, even if Pepper keeps you for an hour.

[This is Quicksilver, after all.]

She can even tell you where it is, and stuff.

[cantcatchme]

Guess I'll catch you there, Legs.

[Hey, at least it's not the worst nickname Todd's been saddled with.]

[catchingflies]

Legs?

[Todd isn't sure whether he should be offended, or not.]

The name's Toad, bro.

[cantcatchme]

Where's the fun in calling you what everyone else calls you?

[catchingflies]

I didn't know you thought callin' people different things was fun, but hey, whatever. Long's it ain't insulting or anything.

[He guesses Legs isn't too bad. Could be Tongue, and then he might have to roll his eyes.]

[cantcatchme]

Hey, if I'm being insulting, you'll know it. Trust me.

[catchingflies]

[Todd just snorts in response to that.]

See you in a little while, then.
