Who: Kate Bishop and YOU.
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: Lavandula + the Iskaulit.
When: Today

Ow, for futz sake -- [ the feed is shaky, at first -- as though the device and its owner has just fallen from some middling height. but it soon settles steady on an image of kate bishop -- bruised, dirty, but ultimately fine. although she's stubbornly wearing purples more often alligned with the spirit faction, she has alligned herself quite naturally with moxie -- deigning to at least braid white and gold ribbons into her black hair. sitting up on the poorly terra-formed ground, the feed reveals she's dressed in a superbly tailored hawkeye costume made from strong fabrics and flattering lines.

over her shoulder looms lavandula's tower. the intrepid young avenger followed the trills of a mysterious and now finds she herself thoroughtly defeated by the tower's bizarre internal architecture. this isn't the first time she's taken a tumble.

grumpily: ] This place is worse than a funhouse. [ ... ] Paging any and all Fleet folk -- anyone manage to track down this freaky-deaky flute music on Lavandula? All I'm finding are doors shut in my face. Not loving it.

[ LATER, she's back at the rehabilitation centre. she pays her modest fee and gets herself patched up -- bandages and all. so, once she takes a shuttle back to the iskaulit and shows up for work at málum, she's still looking a little worse for wear. take pity on her, málum patrons, because her usual bartender flair is suddenly subdued: she's got one arm in a sling. she'll still serve you, though. and with a smile! ...probably. ]

Sorta. It's -- [ hah. at this point, it's entirely too cliche to describe the situation as 'complicated'... ]

She's not quite so young, back home. And she's been an Avenger at least as long as Clint, too. [ so, years and years and years. ] Both her, uhm, 'sons' [ full on bunny-ear finger quotations ] are my teammates.

Back up - ok - [ he rubs his face, trying to work it all out. ] are there two Wandas now?

There are two versions of home -- with two versions of Wanda. The one I'm used to? She's older, and the Avengers have been around for decades. I guess the Wanda who's here in the fleet is from a world where the Avengers are relatively new.

[ and kate doesn't seem to exist. ]

See that's what I thought - the Wanda here is from the same reality as Steve, Vision, and Tony, right? I see what you mean by sorta parents - is the dad also from another reality, or from yours?

[ keeping up with avengers and x-men timelines in the fleet is a full time job. ]

-- Another. Same as hers. It's...oh, jeez. Promise this stays between you and me, please?

[ they really don't need another m-day happening. in space. ok. ]

As long as we stipulate that the Atroma messing with my head or someone hacking the feed don't count -- I promise. That I won't willingly tell is the best I can do here.

Oh, gee, that's a good point. [ ... ] Maybe it's better for all of us if it goes unsaid.

Yeah...unfortunately data security is pretty impossible around here.

And I guess I'm just not...all that used to having secrets. [ it makes it tough, here. to suddenly have to think about what she's saying. ]

[ in a way he's got the opposite problem. he's used to hiding everything he's going through and here people constantly want him to open up and talk about it. ]

That and the cool suit's what you keep me around. Change of subject - so what were you doing, anyway?

Someone was playing a flute. [ she thinks. ] I wanted to find them. Turns out it wasn't so simple as just...finding them.

Following sounds can be tricky, our ears can deceive us - measurements - not so much. [ rubbing his chin as he considers it ] Why hide a flutist though, unless it's a pied piper kinda deal?

[ every planet is a clue, he's sure of it. this might be this system's clue but if it that could mean another terrible thing happening if they pursue it. he really hates this setup a lot. ] What you need is a particle velocity probe. [ and that thought makes him smile ] Cool - I always wanted to play with one of those.

Do you just have a gadgety answer to everything?

[ holding a hand up to indicate she should hold on, he sets the comm aside. for a minute, all she sees is his work desk and all she hears are sounds of stuff getting moved around. then his face comes back into the picture, but only for a second as he turns the camera around and point it to his creation - random little bits of tech (phone and speakers, microscope, unidentified prototypes in the works) spelling out the word 'yes' on the floor. ]
