[Nothing different about tonight in the City, not even the giant splash that comes from fountain in the Square as a teenaged girl falls into it out of nowhere. Nope, just the usual. When she comes up for air, her gasping and shrieking about how cold the water is, it’s still the usual entrance for the new people, soaking wet clothes and all.]

Tommy! I’m going to break the rule for throwing me into the pool and don’t even attempt to-- …Tommy?

[Half out of the fountain, Kate glances around, noticing that this is no longer the pool at her house or her house at all. Or even New York City for that matter. Damn. She hangs her head in defeat because this is one battle Kate knows she won’t win because once a person has been through the timestream and back, they know something's about to go down.

And nothing's going to be fun.]

Please tell me this isn't a part of Latveria we didn't explore.

Not in Latveria. Not in the universe you know.

You have stepped out of space and time, entered into a dimension called .... The City.

[By the time the feed comes in, Kate's managed to yank herself out of the fountain and find the device somewhere on the floor. She's still dripping wet, miserable, and figured out how to work it, but that last part isn't too hard. She's from the time of current technology.]

Right. Who messed with the timestream?

[doeswhathewants]

The deities of this place. There are people from worlds not your own and times not your own.

Speaking of which, what was the last thing that happened in the world before you arrived? I have a feeling we might be from the same or a similar world if you do not find a vacation in charming Latveria appealing.

[joiedeviolet]

The who? Look, I'm Catholic. I'm pretty sure there's guilt coming just for me hearing you say that.

[Well, thanks for confirming her suspicions...]

Does the name Doom sound familiar to you? [Because if it does, sorry for you.]

[doeswhathewants]

You're in for a bit of a shock when you meet Hercules, Thor, and Sif, then, aren't you?

[Snort.]

Green cape wearing dictator with a creepy lab in his basement? Does the term 'Registration' sound familiar to you?

[joiedeviolet]

Not really. I already know Hercules and Thor. Sif, I don't, but I've heard of her. Are they here?

[They should make a club of people whose lives have been affected by Victor von Doom.]

That's him. And it's far too familiar. Who are you, anyway?

[doeswhathewants]

Yes. Though, I think Thor left. People come and go, it is one of those things.

[Or people of whom Doom has a farm of clones in his basement =/ not that he remembers that.]

Serrure. You?

[ Oh. Oh. ]

We're going to be known as the Wet Avengers soon.

[Oh is right. Her eyes get wide like saucers as she stares down at the screen because Kate can't believe her eyes and ears because this guy that looks just like Teddy seems so nonchalant about this.

That's her job, you know. To be calm in the face of weirdness.]

Teddy?

[joiedeviolet]

So how do we go? Because I would like to go rather than come right now.

[Nobody mention that ever. Brings up bad memories for all.]

Kate. [She's carefully peering at the screen, trying to see if she know him from somewhere but placing his face is difficult, if not impossible.] Where are you from? I mean, it's pretty clear we're from the same world, but we don't know each other, so we have to be from different places.

[doeswhathewants]

We do not. Unless the deities send us back.

[Freaking Doom and Freaking Latveria.]

A pleasure, Kate. [He tips his head, giving a half shrug in that boneless way the French have.] Likely not, I am from Paris, no one of consequences. And you?

[awildhulkling]

Hi. [ A smile, half wave. ] Wait there, okay? I'll come pick you up.

[video]

[zipperbent]

Whoa, that's some entrance. Aside from completely waterlogged, are you okay?

[video]

[joiedeviolet]

I'm good. Thanks for asking. [She means it, even if she grumpily pushes her hair back off her forehead.] I've been dumped in worse.

[joiedeviolet]

I don't think I have a choice.

[But she's smiling because family! And maybe dry clothing and a way out.]

[joiedeviolet]

What deities? Thor and Hercules? No way.

[Can't be. He must be talking about somebody else.]

New York. Manhattan.

[zipperbent]

[daaaaaaaaaaaaw Kate]

Oh, sure! I'm glad you didn't knock your head or break your tailbone or something. That fountain isn't the cushiest of landing spots.

[pause]

Is being tossed into things your day job?

[video]

[joiedeviolet]

I'm going to take it that people fall in there a lot?

[A pause.]

No. I was just saying, that's all. [It used to be. :(]

[video]

[zipperbent]

I have no idea- I got here a couple days before you did. It wouldn't surprise me, though!

[raising his eyebrows and nodding sagely]

Fair enough, fair enough. I wouldn't judge if it were, just so you know. I've engaged in plenty of ridiculous shenanigans in the name of money.

[video]

[joiedeviolet]

Wait, what? I didn't do anything for money. I was just making conversation while I dried off.

[Kate saved people for free, man. No money, not even fame. Don't be rude, Bolin or she won't be your friend.]

[video]

[zipperbent]

[alsdjkljfafjakjfakfjasdf he didn't knoooooow T_T slapping his hands over his mouth, looking sheepish. and then...removing them so he can talk properly.]

This is one of those cases where I should've kept my mouth shut. I'm sorry!

[video]

[joiedeviolet]

[Okay, even she has to laugh at his reaction.]

I'm not mad. It's not that big of a deal, dude. I'm the queen of foot in mouth disease.

[doeswhathewants]

No no, the deities of this place. Even Thor and Herculese- by the way did you know he goes natural under that toga? Must be difficult to fight crime and keep from flashing old ladies- are subject to their many, many whims.

Oh. Should you tell me you are another Avenger, I would let you know that we have a collection here. Bursting to the gills, really. And yet still stuck like the rest of us.

[joiedeviolet]

Things I never wanted to know about Hercules number one.

[Not like she never not once wondered... Kate just never gave it much air time, because come on, it's Hercules. You never really had to wonder, just ask him.]

Not anymore. [Or something like that. It's complicated.] Who else is here?

[doeswhathewants]

Lots of people, though I do not believe they are all from the same universe. [Avengers wise, at least.]

Anyone told you about the curses yet?
