Who: The Vision and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Windrose
When: Today!

[The video clicks on to an unusual-looking man with maroon skin and a yellow gem set into his forehead. Though he's been a familiar sight around the Windrose, the Vision doesn't tend to post much so he wouldn't be surprised if there are many unfamiliar with him.

This is a special occasion, however. There's even what looks like a cake in the background.]

There was a slight time differential between my last memories of home and the calendar here. Namely, I seem to have missed the month of June entirely. Given that lack, today is the three hundred sixty-fifth day since I was created.

Accordingly, there is cake and ice cream on the Windrose for any who should care to visit.

[He pauses and furrows his brow slightly.]

I cannot vouch for the taste of either, but I assure you they received the highest ratings from the shops they were purchased at.

I couldn't agree more.

[He nods.] I believe there are fewer than eighteen timelines represented with overlap, so perhaps the ship names will serve.

[He might be starting to jot down names now....]

Eighteen? God. [that's. That's a lot] Ship names would be very helpful, I think.

May I ask how many people are from your particular timeline? Or world? Whichever word fits better.

[. . . Vision no it's your birthday]

As the number of ships rather than known timelines, to clarify. Twenty if we include the Iskaulit and Marsiva.

[Dude no he wants to science on his birthday.]

There are seven of us I'm aware of. Previously there were two others from a very similar timeline, but they've since vanished.

Ah - okay, I thought you meant timelines. But that's still - a lot more ships than I realized.

[well - far be it from Hank to stop a man who wants to science.

And let's be real he's taking notes too. He purses his lips] I made a joke once that this place was gathering up all the superheroes and now I'm starting to think that's what it's really doing.

Are they all Avengers?

Four of the seven are. Loki would be very insulted if you called him an Avenger, I think. He's the one who brought the Chitauri in the first place, though it's possible that act wasn't entirely of his own free will. Agent Carter hails from the 1940s; she founded the parent organization that would later guide the Avengers.

[AND THEN THERE'S WINTER.]

...The last is a bit more complex.

Ah . . . I've met Loki. He seems very - er, proud. [look at him, trying to be polite about it] And I - have heard of Agent Carter from Winter.

[He seems to relax a little.] You've met Winter, then. He would be the complex one.

If your mythology is at all the same as ours, I'd hope you know enough not to take Loki's words at face value. That said, his brother always insisted there was honor in him.

[he smiles a little] Mm, we've met. But - I understand what you mean by complex. ["Erik" was their complex. Raven too, by some extent]

I know enough about Loki from mythology to know not to do that. But he was pretty pleasant with me. Not so much with my colleague, but - I think he knew a version of Charles in another world.

Indeed. [Erik seems like a cool guy - to someone who very obviously presents as other than human and is chock full of metal that Erik could probably use to control him.]

It wouldn't surprise me. While I hardly know details of his previous experiences, he certainly knows more about both places like this and the people likely to appear than he lets on.

[Erik is a cool guy, you aren't wrong. He's just - Erik]

Mm, I'm not surprised either. I'm generally a - cautious person anyway, but it's good to know that the caution is a little warranted. [not that it would change how he'd interact with Loki, if they spoke again.

And because they're exchanging information - ]

There's only four of us from my particular version of the world. You might have run into them by now, really - are you familiar with Charles or Erik?

As long as you're aware of it, yes. [Oh, he won't discourage talking to Loki at all. There is a little of Tony Stark's curiosity in him, and if nothing else he has a connection to Loki through the Mind Stone.]

I've spoken with both of them. Charles is the one interested in helping others use their powers, yes? Erik came over for tea once. [Erik came over to deliver Kitty's claws, but the Vision shanghai'd him into having tea.

Also, Mystique has been preemptively banned from his ship, so he technically knows all four of them.]

[there's nothing wrong with some healthy curiosity. And Hank won't lie and say he isn't curious either. The downsides of being a scientist, sometimes]

Ah, yes, he is. [that someone outside of their little group knows makes Hank so pleased and it shows on his face] I'm glad you've met both of them. The third is - Raven's new and still getting used to things. And - she isn't the only version of herself here, either.

[preemptive banning makes complete sense, considering the other Mystique]

Raven...Darkholme, yes?

My Communications officer is Kurt Darkholme.

[HA HA . . . ha ha ha . . . geez]

That . . . would be the one.

Since he wasn't on your list, I'll have to assume he's from another iteration. [Well of course, since he's from Kitty's timeline.]

That's right. He and Kitty are from the same place.

Perhaps we could call their timeline the Windrose, then.

That would work. [Hank wouldn't know what to call it otherwise]

Charles and Erik both are on the Heron, so maybe that would work for ours. Raven and I are elsewhere.

And three of mine are on the Starstruck. [Or will be as soon as Steve's transfer goes through.]

[he nods] I don't know where the others are off-hand, but I could ask them. I've been meaning to talk to them anyway.

We can compare data once we've gathered it more fully. This should be a fascinating project.

It certainly will be.

But - [and he smiles] You should enjoy your birthday and your party first. It isn't everyday one gets to celebrate their first birthday.

[He inclines his head and smiles a little.]

Thank you. I hope to speak with you again soon, then.

Mm, of course. I'll look forward to it, Vison.
