[It's later in the evening when Skye finally tries the video feature on her communicator. Sat on her bed as she finally taps the button to turn it on.]

Uh, right. So, hi. My name's Skye, sorry, been a while since I’ve done something like this. Not that you would-

[Skye wants to turn the video off and start over, but she can't.]

Right. Forgot I can’t exactly start over. So, mine name’s Skye. I come from, well, a lot of places. I work for something called S.H.I.E.L.D., which, apparently, not a lot of people around here are familiar with. We helped protect the public from finding out about superheroes. And no, not just the Avengers.

Gotta be honest, not too happy to be here considering I was brought here against my will. But I know I’m not the only one here.

[Finally Skye pauses.]

Sorry. Kind of went off on a tangent. Is anyone even out there right now?

[Well, well, would you look at that. Will stares, and stares, and stares, and he wonders what Jesse Pinkman's reaction will be (has been?), and he feels a drop in his stomach that he won't be able to witness Freddie's. But none of that puts him off for good. Though he's generally always put off from video function, of course, so...]

There's always someone around this thing.

[morethan084]

[Perking up when she gets a text message alert, Skye switches the app over to that instead.]

Apparently. Hi, Will.

[Of course the only reason she knew that was because his name popped up as well.]

[hostage]

Glad you made it home safe.

[morethan084]

[Biting the inside of her cheek, Skye straightened up in her bed.]

I thought I told you to leave me alone?

[ voice ]

[disorder_heaven]

You prevent the public from finding out about superheroes. So... Why tell us this?

[morethan084]

Because I don't feel we should be exposed like this. Like some thing to be feared, or idolized. It could end badly for us.

[aggressiveapathy]

Not like any of us had a ton of choice getting brought in to our last worlds, either.

APRIL. DEAD. I AM DEAD.

[morethan084]

[That gets a laugh out of her.]

I guess that's true too. Hi, uh-

[Skye has to look at the screen to see their name.]

April.

audio | id reads "power girl"

[boobwindow]

Quite a few of us, actually.

Familiar with the name, but I wasn't aware they kept superheroes hush-hush.

Your username is cracking me up.

[morethan084]

Finally. Someone from the same world as me.

Yeah, pretty much. Unless you're the Avengers basically. Which, apparently some of them are here.

What's your actual name? Or do you really go by Power Girl?

audio;

[sidecars]

You know the Avengers?

[ Hi there. Have a scowly pre-Avenger scrutinizing you. ]

[morethan084]

Not personally, no.

Wish I did though.

hey ur back!

[ Isn't that Skye . . . she seems more quiet than before ]

I've heard of SHIELD. What about it?

[morethan084]

Okay, I stand corrected. Apparently a lot of people know about it around here. So why doesn't it actually exist?

video;

[assays]

I'm familiar with S.H.I.E.L.D.

[Now this was interesting.]

My name is Peggy Carter, and I work for the SSR. Have you heard of that before, Skye?

[morethan084]

[Skye just about lost her shit when Peggy freaking Carter appeared on her screen. She can't quite keep the shocked expression off her face.]

I-uh. Yes.

[How the hell was she here?]

I'm also familiar with you and your work, Agent Carter.

[inmyothertights]

What do you mean, not a lot of people?

I think a lot of people, actually.

[morethan084]

Seriously?

[Oh, this is Not Good. Saul's spidey sense is tingling — he can't even begin to imagine what stupid thing (or, more likely, things) Jesse must have already said to her.

Because he knows, he just knows Jesse's already spoken to her.

That's how this shit generally works.]

Don't worry — there are plenty of us out here.

Alternatively: Worry, because there are plenty of us out here.

[morethan084]

[Oh, he did. It ended wonderfully.]

Funny.

[It was, a little.]

How long have you been here, Saul?

voice;

[slightlyoffchilt]

Skye, is it? [Oh, he's heard.] You'll adapt to the predestined prerogative that the government seems to have over us.

[morethan084]

[Uh oh. Not that she knows about him just yet, but it won't be pretty if she were to find out.]

Yep, just Skye.

I somehow doubt that, but I'm guessing you've been here a while?

[mousquetaire]

[ She seems like she's struggling. Not that he blames her. D'Artagnan has never heard of this shield she's talking about - what sort of a name is that? - but it doesn't really matter. ]

Hello. I've come to understand there's almost always someone listening on these things.

This must have come as quite a shock to you, Mademoiselle. My name is d'Artagnan. I'm sorry for what's happened to you. If there is anything I can do to make it easier, please let me know.

[morethan084]

[Eyebrows shooting up when he addresses her as 'mademoiselle', Skye can't quite help the amused smile that comes to her lips.]

You can just call me Skye. Nice to meet you d'Artagnan.

Oh, well, thanks.

[Skye laughs weakly in amusement. It's not so much a shock for her, not anymore, as it is just frustrating.]

Don't suppose you know a short cut to get out of here?

[It's a joke, she knows there's no way to get out of here unless 'fate' decides so.]

[acclimatized]

I've heard of S.H.I.E.L.D before, but I actually don't know much about them. It. I don't suppose you lot were responsible for keeping KRATIDES a secret?

[ please say no. ]

But uh yeah, there's always someone lurking about on this thing. I'd watch out for the one in a burlap sack.

[morethan084]

Considering I've never heard of them, I'm going to say no.

[Skye can't quite hide her confusion about his warning. Was he joking or was he serious?]

...Burlap sack?

LATE VIDEO I'M SO SORRY

[liverletdie]

Well, you'd be surprised. More people here are familiar with it than you might think --

That might be because I talk about it more than I should.

You're fine!

[morethan084]

[Seeing the name appear on screen before the video feed, Skye is in slight awe. Tony freaking Stark. Although, his appearance was a bit different. Hadn't someone mentioned different universes of the 'same' people?]

Hey, I mean, by all means...

[She may not know what to say right now. Which is rare.]

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

Hey Skye.

So uh, what's up with the whole keeping superheroes a secret?

[If this was touched n by other people, Kon clearly didn't read or listen or whatever. He's too cool for that.]

[morethan084]

Hey, uh, Conner.

[Skye had to squint at her communicator to read off the name.]

Just my job back at home. Keep everyone safe, the humans and the superheroes.

video.

[tardily]

The company does give it all a silver lining to the whole— inter-dimensional kidnapping thing. Maybe not as much as company from home but— sometimes you get lucky there too.

[ Barry pauses. ]

Count me as one of those not familiar with S.H.I.E.L.D. people, but why do you need to protect the public from finding out about superheroes? Isn't the whole thing with superheroes supposed to be that they inspire people. And save the day. Or try.

[morethan084]

Funny.

[She does smile though, just a little.]

Because we don't need them being exploited.

[Hint, powers that be that are surely listening in.]

It's not just superheros too. We also protect against invasions to earth. Or at least try to.

[ Have a visibly excited fifteen-year-old in a ratty hoodie. ]

Skye! You're back! Man, I missed you.

[morethan084]

[This wasn't going to stop anytime soon, was it?]

Uh, yeah. Apparently. I don't actually remember being here before.

[theminotaur]

[ the face of a teenage girl pops up after a while, sitting on her own bed, back pressed to the headboard as the enormous fluffy head of a dog tries to nudge her shoulder. ]

Guess you figured out that someone is always awake, huh? [ abigail shoves the dog's face away like omg u need to stop. ]

[morethan084]

[It takes Skye a moment to realize that she wasn't laying on some sort of rug, but a dog.]

Uh, yeah. Sorry. I didn't wake you up, did I?
