001 | VIDEO
[ Timestamp: 4:22 AM.
When the video turns on, it's the face of a blond man, artificial light and the odd backdrop of two awkward looking trees, dirt and one giant worker ant, who took a moment to tilt its head curiously at the man before moving on. ]
I know we're all busy with our own lives so I'll try to make this short.
When we were brought into this world, some of us were given new sets of powers. Others may have had powers that they had from their own world, powers that they were already used to. I was one of the latter case. My powers involve size changing, from the 25 feet tall to being small enough to be able to interact with subatomic particles. It's a power that I've come to know, inside out. It wasn't an easy progress, I had a myriad of molecular instability that affected my life in a very personal way.
So I can understand what some of you who are dealing with these new powers are going through. You don't know the limits to what you can do, and we don't know either. That makes for a potentially dangerous situation, to both yourself and everyone else.
What I'm proposing is a training centre. I know we have government facilities here that are equally suitable for that but there are those of us who are uncomfortable with the idea of any government involvement. This will be a facility that's imPort funded, established and operated, so that we have a building of our own, outside of the government's eye. It won't matter if you're registered or not, the main priority of this is to make this place available to all imPorts.
I don't exactly have any concrete plans right now, a few blueprints and ideas off the top of my head. I'd like to hear what everyone's input on this before anything is done about it, especially those with new powers and those outside the law, so to speak. But all input is welcomed.
Thank you all for your time.
[ A quick smile and the camera turns off. ]

There is a little girl here who knows better. Reed and Sue's little girl.
no subject
[He laughs.] What do you think it says about our lives that I forgot about all that?
no subject
How's the neighbourhood been treating you? Still friendly? [ Get out, Hank Pym! You are lame!! ]

[Val is as pop culture-challenged as her father...and has a program running that alerts her when someone on the network uses certain keywords. This conversation pegged the metaphorical needle.]
no subject
Oh, Valeria. It's a reference to a horror film from our world. I don't think you need to know about it, it's not worthwhile until you're a bit older.
no subject
[Yes, clearly that's what's objectionable about horror films.]
no subject
That's what most movies are like. The people in them are dumb so they have a story. And some people just watch it for the senseless violence and call it a horror movie.
no subject
[She sees that IRL pretty much weekly, come on.]
...And sometimes sex scenes with creative camera angles to cover the fact nothing was actually happening.
[Val understands sex and is almost entirely indifferent to it, despite the squirming of grown-ups when she mentions the topic.]
no subject
[ Maybe the children of the corn isn't so bad compared to this child. Goddamnit, Richards. ]
Val, you know they are restricted for a reason.
no subject
[She's got a point, you realize.]
no subject
There are ...somethings that you don't need anymore exposure to. It's enough that you have real life experience in some of it.
no subject
[Putting up a "keep out" sign pretty much guarantees Val will break in.]
no subject
It doesn't mean you can go in and watch it, Val. Suppose your parents found out, how do you think they'll react? It's good that you think it's boring. But now that I know, I don't know if I can believe that you won't go do something that violates a trust like that.
[ LIKE USING PYM PARTICLES ]
no subject
"Violates a trust?"
[Seriously are you for real.]
no subject
[ If any of the Richards could appear and take this child, that'd be great ]
no subject
[Val would know because she has actually breached a trust or six in her short life.]
