driftfleet | o1;; You didn't see that coming?

Who: Pietro & You!
Broadcast: yes
Action: SS Bloodsport
When: Right now

[ Video;; ]
[ The video feed shakes, the audio cracking as the communicator is moved around. The broadcasting image so far is the floor, covered in multicolored confetti, and a pair of black and grey running sneakers in view. The left foot taps impatiently before the video swings again to the bridge of the Bloodsport. ]

[ There is a sigh before heavily accented voice accompanies the shoddy cameraman-ship. ] If this is someone's idea of a prank, it lacks humor.

[ The communicator finally turns around, and Pietro is very firmly not happy with this situation. ]

I have complaints.

[ SS Bloodsport;; ]
[ Pietro can be found in various places throughout the Bloodsport. In the kitchen, trying to figure out what the deal with protein paste is. The bridge offers a bit of a distraction with the endless sea of stars or the array of broadcast settings, and how can he resist settling into the bunks? It's been a very long time since he's had his own room. ]

[hey there's nothing wrong with being really fast]

Thanks. [a bit apologetically:] You've already run into people recognizing you, I take it? Or at least your name.

A few, yes. Including one man who heard my name and hung up on me.

[ That was really weird. ]

[that is really weird gosh who would do such a thing]

Just like that? Did you get his name?

Erik Lehnsherr?

[ Do you know this guy? Is he like this with everyone, or is Pietro just a special snowflake? ]

[. . . oh.

Ohhhhhh]

Ah. W-Well - I wouldn't hold it against him.

I'm only confused by it, not angry.

I'd be confused, too.

It must have been something I said, though I'm not sure what.

[ Clearly, he's not all that bothered by it. ]

[that's good, at least. Hank faintly shakes his head]

I doubt it is. I wouldn't worry about it.

No, I suppose not.

[just going to gently steer this conversation away from Erik, yep]

Mmm. Though, if I may ask - the Peter in my world is . . . incredibly fast. Is that your power as well?

It is, though it's been tampered with. [ WHICH HE IS EXTREMELY PISSED OFF ABOUT. ]

[of course. He looks unimpressed on Pietro's behalf]

I wish I could say that was surprising, but . . . everyone's powers have been tampered with, more or less.

I don't like it. It feels wrong.

I can imagine. I'm sorry.

It wasn't your doing. You've nothing to be sorry for.

It's a sympathetic apology. My powers have been tampered with, too. Though - not to the point where I can feel it, like you and some of the other people I know.

You have powers, too?

[he nods] I'm a mutant.

Like Kitty.

Right, like Kitty. Only I'm usually a little more . . . ah, furry. And blue. My mutation's physical.

Oh, I see. Dr. Banner's got something like that. He turns green and punches things.

[ WHICH IS DUMBING IT DOWN QUITE A BIT, BUT DETAILS, W/E.. ]

He's the only one I've seen with anything like that.

[he smiles a bit wryly] I'm technically blue all the time, it'd be more accurate to say I "turn" into what you see now. [and then dryly, but with amusement in his voice] But I definitely punch things. And do a lot of jumping.

[Banner, though . . . didn't he read a dissertation by a Banner on the network files??]

That's right, there's no mutants where you're from - the same world as Steve, right?

How is it that you look this way right now? [ Not to be rude, BUT HOW DO YOU WORK.. This is fascinating. ]

[ He refuses to call him 'Steve' right now. ] Captain Rogers is in the same world, yes.

I take a medicine that suppresses my mutation. [it's not rude, it's a legit question] At least, for most of the day. I go back to being the real me at night.

["Captain Rogers" makes him grin a little] Does that mean you're an Avenger?
