maskormenace | [Video] - First Bounce - Hello World it's Misfit!

[When the video clicks on, it shows a young redhead in a bit of a rag-bag and self-made costume with a not-quite Bat-family symbol on the front, frowning up at one of the buildings in Heropa. She has a crumpled up map in her hands, and she keeps glancing down at it, then back up at her surroundings.]

No...

[Suddenly the screen is full of pink light and swirling smoke, and when it fades she's standing on a rooftop in...De Chima? Well, that was quick. She spins around, the image a blur of motion, and then she groans.]

No...

[Another burst of pink light and energy and now she's...in the desert somewhere? An empty desert, from the look of things, which startles her enough that she actually drops her map and communicator.]

What? Oh crap.

[And then she was rushing off after the map, catching it in a few seconds and then trudging back to scoop up the phone.]

This seriously makes no sense.

[It's hard to say if she's talking to her phone or herself. Suddenly there's another burst of that now-familiar energy, and she's standing on a street in...judging from the signs, somewhere in Asia maybe? Probably Japan?]

Woah, okay. Uh. [There's a Japanese man standing nearby staring at her, and she gives a weak little wave.]

Uh, hey? I mean Sayonara? No that isn't right...

[Before she can worry about it, she bounces again, and now she's...back where she started? But this time she's actually paying attention to her phone.]

Okay, so like, they said it was another planet but I really kinda didn't believe them cause that's...basically nuts, right? But I don't recognize any of these cities and Platinum Flats isn't even there it's just some desert!

[She groans.]

Oh man Huntress is gonna kill me.

[A second or two of feeling sorry for herself, and then she sucks in a breath and grins at the camera.]

Right. Anyway. I'm Misfit! Still not sure what's going on but I'm looking fooooooooor anyone who recognizes me I guess? Ooooor anyone who knows Orac...I mean Huntress! Or Lady Blackhawk or...anyone from my team...

Or jeez...anybody from home I guess.

[This was going to be so weird wasn't it.]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

[The symbol across the girl's chest looks a little bit familiar - how can it not? - but Bette doesn't recognize the girl herself. The bursts of pink light are certainly interesting enough, though. Huntress, Lady Blackhawk, these names mean not a lot to Bette. Although...hadn't Uncle Jake once mentioned a clandestine military unit called the Blackhawks? Bette isn't sure. As for what an Orac is, Bette has no clue.]

Where's home? [Simple questions first, right? Because describing where home is is so easy.]

[ Traci looks vaguely amused and like she's trying to not look amused. ]

You should have believed them because it's true. It's Earth but a different Earth. I'm sorry I don't really recognize any of the names though.

Well it was Platinum Flats but we were moving so...

I guess Gotham now.

Ugh. I can't seriously be here on my own can I?

What about...Black Canary? Or Manhunter or heck I'd even take Infinity!

[Bette gives the other girl a warm smile.]

Another Gotham Girl. Welcome to...here. Seems as though a lot of us Gotham peeps are flowing in here.

I guess. I've never actually lived there before, I'm from Metropolis. But it sure seems like everybody else is from there!

So, uh. Okay do you know who else is here from...there?

[Maybe she'd recognize a name. Not that she knows this girl so she's trying not to blab them too badly.]

Uhhhh nope. None of those sound familiar either. Doesn't mean they're for sure def not around but there are a lot of other superheroes here so you're not like fully alone-alone.

Great.

[Okay she can figure this out.]

How about Superman? Everybody knows Superman! I mean...Pretty sure he doesn't like me, at all. BUT! He would...know me. And people I need to talk to...

Though I guess it'd be hard to kidnap Superman to another dimension...

I think there was a superman here but it was a while ago and pretty sure hes not here here anymore?

[She just slumps for a moment, trying to find something good to focus on. Oh, hey.]

Well, if he isn't here, he can't yell at me! [That makes her grin.]

Okay, one last...Teen Titans? I hung out with them a couple times they'd know me!

Nope. But why would he yell at you? He's not really a yell-y type. Unless you go off on your own to do things then he gets a tiny bit grumpy [ and bam there goes Traci blowing her entire idea of I'm trying to stealthy figure out if this person knows her at all or not. GOOD JOB TRACI you tried to be stealthy and it went well. ]

There's a ton of those here. Some aren't from the same universe though and most of us are from scattered times so it's hard to know who knows who or doesn't know who or knows what. Which gets pretty disastrous when you realize someone's way in the past from you or way in the future.

Everyone says he's really nice I get that but there was this robot and it kind of...exploded part of Metropolis...

[Charlie looks distant for a moment, and then sucks in another breath. She also misses that this girl apparently knows her.]

Different times? Okay, so, that'll be extra confusing won't it. [A beat.] Wait so who're you?

Things happen sometimes that color a person's vision of someone or something. It's okay. [ She gives a shrug ]

Uhh back-up Teen Titan? Sorta help out sometimes.

[That has the redhead bringing the phone closer to her face, studying the screen closely. Wait.]

Wait a minute. Wait. A. Minute! [God, she should've known it sooner. She actually spins around in excitement before pointing at the screen.]

I know you! I met you! You're...uh...starts with a T, right? You hung out with the blue beetle junior or whatever right? Terry? No that's not it..

Traci! Ha we are from the sameish time then. Or close enough. And yeah I know Blue Beetle some. We did a mission together a while ago and then he asked for some help with something teen titany

You were there when I tried to join the Titans. [And Oracle had told them she couldn't. Blah!]

Except I think you were mostly there to annoy Blue Beetle?

[Charlie could notice things!]

But your magic was cool!

[ That sure is a lot of Birds of Prey name drops, and he absolutely heard her slip of almost saying Oracle. Curious, though, he doesn't recognize her. He pulls his cowl on switches an encoded video feed on. ]

That's an awful lot of names I know paired with one I don't.

I was there visiting him and deciding if I wanted to full out join or not, totally wasn't there to annoy him at all. [ Ruuuude. No really it was to annoy him. ]

My magic is cool, thank you!

...Hey? [A beat, and she was frowning at the screen. Why did he look familiar...]

...Which name don't you know?

Edited 2016-04-06 01:48 (UTC)

Did they let you? Join?

I wasn't allowed.

[Grumble.]

Yours. Oracle, Huntress, Lady Blackhawk... you're with the Birds of Prey?

Yeah. Have been for ages now.

[Well. Not quite a year...]

You look seriously familiar.

[ He gestures at the screen in such a way that he'd be pointing to his ID readout on her display. ]

Blue Beetle, the second. I used to give the Birds a hand every now and then, but that was years ago.

Blue Beetle, but he's got that...whole...

[This was not weird armor Blue Beetle. This was Babs's old friend Blue Beetle. Now she recognized the costume...]

But you're-

[She caught herself before she said it whew.]

Dead?

[ Yeah, this is a conversation he never gets sick of having. Especially when he gets to go over it again and again with every new hero from his world. He's a little pleased that people remember him, at least . ]

Yeah, I'm aware, don't worry.
