[ It takes Jane a long while to settle down to this first ... whatever. Video? Journal entry? Something. She has clothes - not her own, but clothes nonetheless - and even a small bag of food, to take with her when she goes to find ... well. Someplace to stay. Stay, not live. This won't be home. It can't be.

She sighs heavily, puffing her cheeks out on a hard breath as she flips through the pages. An hour or two of reading have acquainted her with how the system works, as bizarre as it is. She sounds tired, when she speaks, a sort of bone weary ache. ]


Alright. So the journal is some sort of half-book half-iPad technomagical means of communicating, aaaaand this place gives you wings. [ A beat. ] There's a cheesy Red Bull ad in there somewhere, but I'm not going there.

[ A pause. Stay on track for three seconds, why don't you? ]

Sorry, I-- my name is Jane Foster. I'm a astrophysicist with SHIELD, if that means anything to anyone. Well, more like a researcher, but -- anyway. I just really hope that means something to someone. It'd be nice to at least -- I don't know. Have a familiar face from my own world. Or universe. I'm guessing universe.

[ Another pause, shorter. ] So how many versions of Earth are there, here? I'm going to guess at least a dozen. Maybe several dozen, who knows. And probably plenty of other worlds besides. From who knows how many different universes. And yet here we all are. [ She laughs, incredulous and kind of unhappy. ] This place is somehow the special one. I'd just -- love to know how they do it, really. Someone's going to tell me it's magic, and I just--

[ She finally stops, sighing again. ]

Sorry, sorry. Um -- hi. Nice to ... meet all of you, I guess.

Yeah... super villains. Tons of 'em.

[He's so very unsure right now.]

It's okay, though. We're actually doing really well on our own. I mean, I think we are? We've screwed up a few times, but even super heroes aren't perfect.
selfhelp: ([billy] dinner with the folks)

[action] I am on board with this 1000% yes

Yeah, I know. [He is dating an alien shapeshifter, after all. And maybe someday he'll even tell her that.] Anyway, I'm sure we can only go up from here. Considering how we started out, we definitely can't get worse.

[Trust... that's nice. Really nice to hear. After all this time, he honestly isn't sure they've earned that from the rest of the Avengers. Especially considering that they'd been confined to the HQ for most of the war.

...Then again, when they'd decided to leave, things... hadn't gone so well. No wonder Cap had been so cautious.

Still, it means a lot, especially coming from someone he trusts (even if she's from an alternate universe), so he doesn't hesitate to smile appreciatively at her words.]


Thanks... and I'll be doing whatever I can to earn that kind of trust here, too. That's a promise.
