[ The person that falls out of the sky doesn’t look natural, green skin, wings that span once and curl in on themselves. It’s the shock that does it, makes it impossible to land with any kind of grace, and the splash upon impact sends water cascading over the lip of the fountain.

The boy that eventually climbs out isn’t the same, blonde and built and normal. He looks far from threatening, pushing damp hair out of his eyes, earrings glinting in the light. Teddy finds it’s better to hide it away, to tuck himself in. He glances around himself with a frown, water seeping out from his costume as he stumbles out and straightens up. ]

Uh -. Billy? [ Where the hell is he? ] Tommy? Anyone? Is this a test. I really hope it’s a test. I’m down with the whole quest thing, but mostly when there’s a fellowship with bows, and axes, and the occassional sword. [Why yes, he is rambling. Completely and utterly rambling.

He’s skittish, can’t help himself, turns on his heel to get a closer look at the place. He needs to do recon, that’s what an Avenger would do, right? ] God, I suck at this.

You'll probably get a crazy-sounding answer, so go ahead.

[awildhulkling]

I have no idea where I am, so if you could just point me in the direction of the nearest subway?

[hexuality]

The train won't take you anywhere but to the rest of the City, so if exploring's what you had in mind, then that's perfect. But getting out? Not our choice.

[She does look apologetic.]

Sorry.

[awildhulkling]

[ Teddy processes this as best as he can. ]

Have I been kidnapped? Because that never works well for anybody, so I should probably figure out who's responsible for that and make them see that it's not the best idea.

[hexuality]

Look, I don't want to get your hopes up, but you've picked a sort of unique weekend to turn up. Most of these people around here—they'll go home by midnight.

[Herself among them, but she doesn't know that.]

And you might've gotten caught up with all of them, in which case, you haven't got to worry about it. But... I don't know. You might stay, too. There's no telling.

[awildhulkling]

[ Frown deepening, rubbing the back of his neck for a moment. ]

You seem pretty calm. I'm kind of not sure if I should be panicking or not. I really have to get home.

video;

[hexuality]

I've been here a while.

[She shrugs, though she knows it isn't much of an excuse.]

Were you in the middle of something? Because, er, most of us are. The City's got ghastly timing that way.

[awildhulkling]

Mummy's in New York.

[ Because in his world, it's fine to talk about superheroes, supervillains, and flying creatures of death. ]

I was sort of fighting them.

video;

[hexuality]

[... Teddy, she isn't sure if you mean mothers or embalmed pharaohs.]

Sounds important?

video;

[awildhulkling]

It kinda was. I mean, the property damage alone, and superheroes already get a bad rap.

[ Still. Maybe he shouldn't nervous ramble. ] Sorry, I'll shut up now.

video;

[hexuality]

No, it's fine, I just—wasn't sure what to make of it.

[She looks interested, though, something about the way her smile lightens up.]

You're a superhero?

[She only learned the term since coming to the City, but.]

video;

[awildhulkling]

Hulkling, yeah.

[ He smiles though. ] Not as cool as Captain America, but I'm still learning.

video;

[hexuality]

Well, I'd say it's cool all the same. We haven't got superheroes in my world.

[Because you have MAGIC, Ginny.]

So is that your name?

video;

[awildhulkling]

Teddy, Teddy Altman. It's nice to meet you. Well, facetime you I guess.

video;

[hexuality]

[She laughs.]

Well, on a day like this, I'm sure we'll run into each other eventually. I'm Ginny Weasley.

video;

[awildhulkling]

No way.

[ Wait, that was too excitable. ] Where your parents Harry Potter fans?

video;

[hexuality]

[... what a weird question.]

I reckon everyone in my world is a fan of him in some way, yeah. He did sort of... save it.

[She grins.]

Though, knowing him, he'd try and share the credit.

[awildhulkling]

[ OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD.

Billy's going to kill him for meeting Ginny Weasley without him. He's going to murder him in a crime of passion and it will be sad. ]

That's -- seriously?

video;

[hexuality]

[She laughs again, TOTALLY DOESN'T THINK ANYTHING'S WRONG HERE.]

Well, yeah, the git's too humble for his own good.

video;

[awildhulkling]

[ asdfgdhsjkla; ]

The best people always are.

video;

[hexuality]

Well, he is that, too.

D'you know him, then? He's running around here somewhere.

video;

[awildhulkling]

No, no. I've never actually. I would love to though, but it hasn't happened.

video;

[hexuality]

[She cocks her head a fraction, mildly amused.]

He's just a normal bloke, you know.

video;

[awildhulkling]

I --.

[ And yeah, most people are. Cap and Iron Man may still make him a little bit starstruck despite everything, but they're normal underneath. ]

I guess so.

video; enjoy that teddy

[hexuality]

[She grins.]

It's alright, most people forget—

[And cue some indignant hooting from behind her as the cat pesters the owl in his cage. Ginny swears under her breath and shoots an apologetic glance to the camera before getting up to deal with it.]

Helena, honestly, Sir Weatherby sleeps during the day, you know this, you silly thing... [An owl treat to the tawny to make him feel better and then returning to the camera with an armful of cat.] Sorry. I've practically got a menagerie here.
