[Video] Monday

[thewasp]

[Waking up from a pod was new. One minute she thought she was flying after the mysterious Yellowjacket and the next she felt like she had been sleeping for a hundred years and coming out of some stasis in a pad. On a ship. On an alien ship. What… did she miss!?]

[Her things were all here at least. Dressed again she pulled her Avengers card out she ran her thumb over it and spoke.]

Um, guys? Am I missing something here? Hello? Tony? Cap? Heck, I’d be happy to hear from Hulk right now, just someone reply.

[She walked slowly through the ship, holding the card close and looking for an exit] It doesn't look like a Kree ship. Doesn't look like anything I've seen before. [and more to herself then anything she whispered:] Oh man, did I get kidnapped again?

[Suddenly she shrank to a smaller size, her wings buzzing behind her and letting her fly, taking off through the halls and searching around, thus the image of the world around her seemed bigger as the card shrinks with her, and she's moving faster. The image not focused on her... As she found the exit she zoomed out, coming to a sudden stop, eyes wide at the world around her]

Oh… I don’t think I’m on Earth anymore…

Comments

[thefuzzyguy]

[He's gotten pretty good at welcoming people lately, but he might have been too tired and busy if it hadn't been for that weird size shift. Maybe nothing, but to someone used to all kinds of strange powers, it's... interesting.]

[So have a sleepy looking teenaged boy with a heavy German accent.]

Nope, not earth. Did you just get out of the pod? Because, um, I hope you're ready for an infodump.

[thewasp]

[She was used to her card talking to her.... but only from other Avengers! This guy had a German accent. She blinked, hovering outside and holding the card up to look at it. Was he HYDRA? How did he get one of their cards?!]

[She made a small startled sound, something between a cross of Gah and Um... before finding her voice]

Pod? Yes... something like that. Okay, okay, okay so... it's not Earth. Lay it on me. What's going on and how did you get one of our cards?

[thefuzzyguy]

Cards? Really? Oh, um, everyone who wakes up in a pod gets some kind of phone or communicator. Mine's definitely not a card, though. I'd show you, but, um...

[In addition to logical contradictions, he's holding it with his tail while he works on the stew for dinner.]

Right. The network's open to everyone. So that's pretty weird now that I think about it, and we haven't even gotten to the crazy stuff yet.

[thewasp]

[Her tiny self moved to carefully hover over the edge of the ship, taking a seat and hanging her legs over the side. She could be seen, looking around, clearly creeped out by all this]

I... see. [clearly, she didn't see. Or she did but it was hard to believe... or was it. Okay, it was just weird. Very weird.] So anyone can hear me? They can hear me and you talking?

[thefuzzyguy]

[It's lucky making hospital food in big batches isn't a job that requires a lot of attention.]

Ja, particularly, um, The Authorities. Which is the scariest bad guy name I've heard. They apparently hear everything, and they're the kind of people who attack hospitals and farms, so... Don't say anything you don't want the villains to hear.

[nodavinci]

[Between the incredible shrinking display and the names she cites, it's fairly inevitable that this would catch Tony's attention.

The backdrop to the video feed is dark enough that it's hard to make out details, but the welding mask pushed up on top of his head is a pretty decent indication that he's been recently at work on something.]

That's...different. And incredibly disorienting. Do you make a habit of getting kidnapped by aliens?

[Video]

[thewasp]

[By now she was still... tiny, with her wing sitting still behind her, parched on the edge of the space ship. So far nothing tried to re capture her, so she wasn't straying too far]

[At the video she suddenly smiled largely] Tony! Oh I'm glad to ...see... you. [Okay, the fact that he sounded off might be the device. The fact that he looked a bit older wasn't missed, but his comment about getting kidnapped by aliens? That made her frown]

Hey, that's not funny. I believe you've been Iron-napped more times then I have been Wasp-napped anyhow. [not, true, really. And damn it, Tony was one of the ones that came to help her and Sue out of that mess...] Tony, where are we?

[Video]

[nodavinci]

...And you definitely think you know me. How novel.

[It isn't, really - he's too much a public figure for that - but it's the first time someone he can't recall has claimed acquaintance with him as Iron Man.

He frowns at the screen, brow furrowing slightly as he works through the possibilities. It doesn't take long; there aren't that many.]

We're on a planet called Verdana. The environment isn't hostile, but the wildlife and most of the people are. They're human, incidentally. Most of them.

[Video]

[thewasp]

[her eyes narrowed a bit in worry over that. This was no time to JOKE, Stark!] Tony... it's me! Jan? You know, helped form the Avengers... together?

[her hand reached up to rub her forehead, suddenly feeling a headache. That other guy said people were out of his timeline. This Tony looked older but... he should -know- her still!] This is insane...

Wait... hostile wildlife? [she sat up more, looking around now, ears open for sounds and dangers.] Great...

[Video]

[nodavinci]

You know, I think I would remember meeting the Incredible Shrinking Woman at the briefings.

[He scrubs a hand over his jaw, wincing faintly at the motion. The logical conclusion, given the evidence he's seen since awakening on the ship, is right there - he's just reluctant to take it.]

Okay. You're still at the ship? Sit tight. I'm about fifteen minutes out.

[video, LOCKED]

[tiptoeing]

[Bruce is just going to stare a little. Or maybe a lot. And awkwardly attempt to say something that doesn't sound stupid.]

...Do you know me?

[video, LOCKED]

[thewasp]

[You know, after a while her feelings are going to start being REALLY hurt here. Though, you know, you don't look as scrawny as you should, Dr. Banner. Shorter hair too. Older. Gah, is this like the Not!-Her-Tony thing again?]

[Best be careful, as she squints in at the image and is trying to look you over better]

At the moment? I'm not sure who I know anymore...

[this pattern forever]

[tiptoeing]

[Okay, think, Bruce.]

It's possible you do know all of us, but from a different point in time, or a completely alternate timeline.

[thewasp]

[Well, at least he was honest about that possibility. It sits better with her then the possibility of another Skrull invasion.]

So... yanked from my own time and space and thrust into some random planet, out of a pod and surrounded by strangers with faces and names I know? Great. This should be a blast. But... you are Bruce, right? Dr. Banner? You look a little different then the one I know, but you still... look like him. [smiling]

[tiptoeing]

[he nods, returning that smile] I am, yes. The last thing I remember before I woke up was Tony driving me to Stark Tower, after the Chitauri invasion.

[video]

[yankeedoodle]

[Steve is used to people knowing Captain America so that isn't anything too out of the ordinary. Any knowing Tony's name isn't a stretch. But the other guy?]

No, you're not on Earth. Is there... something I can do for you?

[Probably a whole lot, wtg, Steve.]

[video]

[thewasp]

[WELL, you can't forget this guy, right? He too looks... a little off, but it's still Cap, right? After talking to others by now though she's iffy on it all.]

[Carefully, and with the sinking feeling he wont know her after that question, she says]

You can start by telling me you know who I am. That would really make me feel better right now.

[Video]

[steamosaurus]

Hm? Did someone say something about me?

[Yup, that's a dinosaur. Wearing goggles, even.]

[Video]

[thewasp]

[Oh.... OH. Tony wasn't joking around. She's staring, sorry]

I... um... [blink, and a shake of her head] Whoa. He wasn't joking.

Re: [Video]

[steamosaurus]

Well, I'm not a Tyrannosaurus Rex, nor did I evolve from one. Distantly related? Yes. And I do talk.

[She's gotten used to the staring. And she doesn't seem annoyed. Tony still amuses her more than anything.]

[Video]

[thewasp]

Oh...

[yeah, just going to stare a moment longer. Sorry. Give her a moment and---there. She blinked, raising a brow higher]

You do talk. That's... so cool. I'm Jan. [yep. she's over the weird now. After all, she works with a god, Hulk and chases down crazy aliens. This isn't that bad.]

[redledgerdays]

You make a habit of being kidnapped?

[thewasp]

Not always. But it happens. It's kind of annoying when the aliens always have the upper hand. Lets just say this is a second time? [eyes you however, because you look like Her and that's enough for mild caution]

[redledgerdays]

[Nat files it all away, eyebrow raised at mention of aliens]

Is it always the same aliens, or have you dealt with more than one?

[thewasp]

[a considering pause at that. Huh, well...] There have been a few now. But seeing as I'm told this is a different planet, I expect to run into a few new ones.
