[Beck's eyes are squeezed shut and his fingers are rubbing his temples as if he has a serious headache right now. He sighs heavily before he opens his eyes and talks - in a strained sort of attempt at sounding calm.]

Alright now, listen up, because this is very important.

Has anyone seen Peter Parker?

He's not been answering his messages.

And I know, I know. A bunch of you went off to another dimension or something... Was Peter there? He hasn't answered me in weeks and I thought maybe... just maybe, that he was one of those missing. But now you're all back and... he's still not answering me.

So if you've seen him, tell me.

And look, I know what some of you are thinking.

[His jaw clenches and he frowns, gesturing with his hands extended out to punctuate his words.]

I am concerned about his safety. I am not in any way threatening him. He was supposed to be here, ready to film for my upcoming performance. He also still has my camera and it was expensive. I need both that and him here and soon. We need to communicate. No games.

So if you've seen him, tell him to contact me. Maybe his phone's lost or broken or...

[He sighs again.]

Just....

[His hands curl into fists, irritation rising.]

I just...

[But as he's about to continue a green energy abruptly flares around his fists and he startles as it engulfs his arms.]

What the f--- ?!

[And the feed suddenly cuts off.]

Delayed response to the 2nd

[helpdesk_hero]

He was living with me. I can confirm that he's gone. No guarantee he won't be back, but he isn't here. He's free of you.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Free of me? Maybe you don't understand, David. He agreed to be my cameraman. I need him to be here.

[helpdesk_hero]

...

Oh get the fuck over yourself, Beck. You can find a new fucking camera man!

[mysterioisthetruth]

Look, I have more important things to worry about right now too.

[He looks down at his hands suspiciously then back to David.]

But if he's really gone then he took off with my $2000 camera.

Unless it's at your house somewhere? Go look for me and report back. It's a large, professional video camera. You can't miss it.

[helpdesk_hero]

When I can move without feeling like I'm going to fall over given most of my bodily reserves have been burnt out healing me back from the brink of death, I'll look for your camera. Just...

Find a new camera man.

[mysterioisthetruth]

What? What happened to you?

[He's been here the whole time - aside from briefly porting out and back, causing his power fluctuation and changes - and it's been relatively quiet. He has no idea what the vanished had gone through.]

[helpdesk_hero]

Throat ripped out after being stabbed twice.

[If he says it nonchalantly then it means it’s okay, right?]

[Okay yeah the rest of that video is probably really important sure, but Miu is way more interested in that weird green energy thing. Was that fire? Green fire???]

Did you just die?

[mysterioisthetruth]

[There's short delay while Beck figures out what just happened. When he appears, he seems a little rattled and distracted. But no green energy in sight for now.]

No. No, I'm not dead.

[blackwaterchild]

[She raises her eyebrows with a quiet hum of acknowledgement.]

Looks like it hurt though. What was that?

[mysterioisthetruth]

[He sighs.]

No, it didn't hurt either. I just... wasn't expecting it.

My powers. They seem to have developed and altered on their own.

[blackwaterchild]

[Miu pauses a moment, suddenly feeling a thread of anxiety worm through her.]

Does that... happen here? Because that seems like it could get really bad for people. [Herself included.]

[mysterioisthetruth]

I've been here for six month and nothing had changed for me personally in that time but I do believe it has happened to others.

I know I didn't cause this myself, not even with my research.

text; sent a few hours later

[bifroster]

He's gone home. I tried calling him before ... before a lot of us left. I'm glad he wasn't in that hell hole. I just hope he's still able to do some of the things he wanted to do here.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Jane?

We should meet up. I need your help.

text

[bifroster]

Yeah. Maybe in a little bit? I just came back from a place worse than this. Think 1984.

What do you need help with?

text

[mysterioisthetruth]

Tomorrow then? Or this afternoon?

Please.

text

[bifroster]

I can do this afternoon. Just forgive me if I'm a little emotional.

Is everything alright? Is it about Peter?

text

[mysterioisthetruth]

It's not only about Peter.

I'll have to show you.

We can talk, if you need to as well.

[ Peter is gone, yes. Which is a shame. Loki liked the boy...

And while he is still unwrapping himself from that little... Excursion... Well. The Asgardian appears with a somewhat idle expression, a coffee to go in his hand. ]

Still one for the dramatics, I see.

[mysterioisthetruth]

[There's a delay in him replying. When he appears, he looks very tense.]

I'm in no mood for you, Loki.

video

[tricksterofasgard]

Really.

[ Flatly. ]

How unfortunate that I do not care about your mood, Quentin.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You know what?

You just try one of your little games on me now. You come here and face me and we'll see who emerges victorious.

video

[tricksterofasgard]

Are you challenging me?

[ Okay, now that's hilarious. ]

[mysterioisthetruth]

Let's just say I need some target practice and your head may be the biggest target I can think of.

[Is there an unhinged looking smirk on his face? Yes, yes there is.]
