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. ]

[ Charles stares. There were similarities, he notices immediately, but that was not quite Peter. He already knows Pietro, of course. Wanda had shown him their past. ]

I believe everyone does at the beginning.

If you have complaints, you will need to fill out some forms. Have you a pen?

[Loki might be a little bored.]

[she's only idly checking the network when she recognizes the face first; a very familiar face, one that makes her heart clench and her blood boil. Her first instinct is to lash out, demand why the hell he was here and what in the world he thought he was doing, but then the voice registers -

A very different accent. The hair isn't the same, nor the build. She relaxes somewhat, but ever wary, she still has to find out for certain]

I believe the saying goes, "get in line".

[The voice catches her attention, but it's been at least a year and a half since she last heard it. Then the sight on the screen isn't exactly the one she remembers. He's not clean shaven and it can be hard to account for what living through Apocalypse's world does to a person or doesn't do in some cases.]

Hi. [It's a weak opening. No pithy reply. Not even something direct to get his name. She's just taking it in and wondering if she'll look familiar in return.]

[ the feed is viewable to the avengers, but no one else. tony likes being careful, especially with people who may or may not have a rude awakening for them ]

Join the club.

[ dryly; tony is settled in the captain's chair of the pathstone, fiddling with some piece of machinery in his hand. he probably ripped it off of the ship somewhere because he can make it better. the poor pathstone. ]

Not a prank. Not funny. Reality television in space. We're here for the entertainment of the masses.

[ pause ]

Oh, yeah, and the other half of the Wondertwins is here. Wanda? Your sister? She's safe. Probably happy to see you. Try not to blow anything up without clearance.

[ Sorry, Charles. You're not even remotely recognized. He raises an eyebrow. ]

Do they tamper with everyone as a housewarming gift?

Only the ones with strong powers, I believe. We are living in metal tubs. They can't afford to have the ships break down.

[ Oh, good, a familiar face. Maybe not the face he wants to see in particular, but he'll take it. ]

I don't plan on being anyone's jester.

[ Not that there's really much choice in the matter. His expression changes immediately from annoyed to surprised. ]

Wanda is here? Is she alright?

[ 'Safe' and 'in good health' are both different things, though both are important. Try to get him to talk about anything else until he knows for certain. ]

It pains me to tell you I do not. I don't have pockets.

Forms are not my strong suit, either. Is there an express lane?

[ He huffs. ]

If they want me to be flattered, I'm not. As far as abilities go, I am not the strongest.

[ But I am the fastest. ]

[ Fastest is debatable, sorry. ]

No. But you are fast, aren't you.

Oh, there is a line, is there?

Are you surprised? You are not the only one not amused by all this.

[ Wow, not all of us can have good character potential.. ]

I don't mean to brag, but yes.

[ Oh, he's absolutely bragging. Maybe not here he's not, but.. ]

[ I'm sorry you were Jossed. ]

That's bragging.

I hope it's not too long, I am not very patient.

[ Like. At all. ]

[. . . ugh your face is SO OFFENSIVE]

Nor am I, and yet here I am, waiting for my own turn.

[ Nobody is more upset about this than Pietro. ]

Ah, so it is.

[ WOW that's so rude! His face is beautiful. ]

What have they taken from you, besides your home?

[no it's incredibly offensive!! She stares at him for a moment, head tilting, before she decides to answer]

My sword and dagger. My magic has not been taken, but it is not as strong as it is meant to be, either.

Hello.

[ Unfortunately, Kitty, there's no version of you in his world, though a pleasant face is definitely soothing being thrown into unfamiliar territory without his other half. ]

This is very troublesome.

[ He can't really account for anything else they've taken, but his full abilities are plenty enough. It leaves him feeling wrong. Like being on the verge of a sneeze that won't come. ]

Pietro, correct?

I'm Charles Xavier. Your sister's teacher, at the moment.

Quite. It feels wrong.

What have they taken from you?

[she feels cut off, but she won't go into too much detail. "Feeling wrong" is about right anyway]

I'm Kitty and you look familiar. [Is it still comforting?]
