I knew I should have looked up 'reality shows' a few months back.

[ The man who appears on the screen is currently looking at what seems to be a little notepad before adding the word 'space' next to the words 'reality tv'. Really, he could have done this space setting if it included an inter-galactic war or helping planets in peril.

But in all honesty, Steve Rogers: entertainer has never been his career choice and it's not his forte, either. At least now the whole thing doesn't include singing and girls in scandalously short skirts. ]

My name is Steve Rogers, currently aboard the SS Pathstone. I've done a little bit of reading while aboard the Marsiva. I understand there are those who are trying to help the people on the moon we're visiting, if there is anything you need, I'd do whatever I can do to help.

[ you might catch a glimmer of red and blue and silver just behind him. A wink as the light hits metal ]

The same goes for going home. I imagine people have already looked into ways for us to leave this place. No one should be taken anywhere against their will. I'd like to hear about the information you have managed to collect and I'll do everything I can to make sure everyone will be able to go home safely.

[ you all get a little smile. he's so awkward at these things, can you tell by now. ]

I heard I've missed quite a party.

[ he tries to work that out in his head: so his wise old mentor is a crazy kid now? that has to be weird -- and doesn't know him, either, because unless he doesn't age there's no way he was alive 70 years ago. it's clearly someone who means a lot to him, being unknown can't be easy.

he offers a sympathetic smile in return. ]

I'm sorry, that's really rough.

It's -

[ rough and heartbreaking and heart-lifting and wonderful and tragic all at the same time. steve will never quite be able to determine exactly what it means to be alongside peggy carter again. ]

Not what I expected when I came here but it's - we're managing as best as we can.

[ that makes him frown a little ]

You had expectations from an inter-dimensional space abduction? Those happen to you a lot?

[ because similar things do happen to some people a lot ok, and the more they find out about what these pocket dimensions have in common - the closer they'll get to figuring out what's going on, why, and how to reverse it. no information is trivial, at this point! ]

The abductions, no. The alien and other space parts - I have some experience with.

[ you know, the usual. thor. loki. an army of aliens destroying NYC. ]

So your tone is saying that's -- bad.

[ he has some bad alien experiences too, but the good will always outweigh them because - kara. ]

Not all of them were bad. One of them is a very good friend, Thor of Asgard. He has a brother here, however and he is -

[ how do we define loki ]

problematic. But we've handled him before in my world and we'll do it here if he acts out of line.

Family's like that -

[ tilting his head and shaking it slightly with an awkward smile. kara's amazing, clark's a hero - the aunt and uncle are batshit insane. ]

Is he the -- we should all be worried problematic or the stay away from family dinners problematic?

-- he says he changed. He didn't cause any harm here that I know but I also know what he's capable of. I would say - proceed with caution. He's very powerful.

[ and very proud which really worries him given the setting ]

His name is Loki.

...Loki.

[ goddamn. ]

We've - spoken. [ and unless there are a couple of them, he's dating a teammate of kitty. great, he's so looking forward to having that conversation. ] Unless there's more than one. Magic wielder?

I'm pretty sure there's only one.

[ and if there's more than one then god help them all ]

He uses Asgard's powers which - yes, would seem like magic to anyone who isn't from that place.

It's - what he called it.

Thor has explanations for most it but I admit, some of them are beyond me. I'm not very used to battling alien armies but Loki led a very powerful one.

[ it was a long day, it was. ]

He doesn't have many allies here but I know he hates being trapped more than most of us put together. He won't stay silent for very long.

I'm sorry - alien army?

[ they can barely deal with two! ]

As in - invasion?

[ that is so awesome and awful and - awesful, and his face isn't sure what expression to go with here. ]

It was.

[ don't look excited, winn. it was absolutely a Day and was awful ]

you know - coming down from the sky? fighters? big -

[ gesturing in the air ]

moving ships.

What'd they look like?

[ no. ok. sorry steve, he's been obsessed with aliens for practically his whole life. ]

Did you go on one of the ships? [ winn, you're on a spaceship right now. ]

-- terrible.

[ WHY ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT THIS ]

No we were very busy on the ground. The Hulk was the one to deal with the ships.

The uh - Hulk?

[ BECAUSE IT'S EXCITING, STEVE! ]

He's part of the Avengers. He's not here.

[ thankfully. he appreciates bruce as much as the next guy but to be locked on a space ship? that has some dangerous potential. ]

Yeah, from what I've been hearing it's gonna take another dozen fleets worth of ships to house all of you -

[ so many avengers. it's very cool! but at the same time, you know, kara does it on her own, he's filled with my hero is better than your hero pride. ]

We're a big team. It's a big world and it's always changing.

[ he smiles a bit ]

wars aren't what they used to be.

And getting bigger, now that the multiverse is in the mix.

[ he nods. this is too much for any one person to take on. ]

Is there -- any chance of rehabilitation, cuz this Loki guy sounds like a great asset in this one.

[ he hates being trapped, they hate being trapped, it seems like a truce-and-team-up sort of situation, if that's possible. ]
