[ admittedly, being stuck in a strange alternate universe isn't exactly new to scott. it isn't common, but this isn't his first rodeo. that doesn't make the experience any less jarring, but it at least means he's immediately aware of what his priorities should be.
for a while, he grapples with the idea of transmitting a message, trying to weigh the pros and cons. he's not exactly a popular figure back home, and he's not sure how much of that might have carried over here. it may be an entirely different world, but the presence of other imports means his past mistakes may still haunt him. still, in the end he figures it's a calculated risk he needs to take.
at this point, even a hostile face would be welcome, as long as its familiar. ]
Hello, everyone. My name is Scott Summers... some of you may have heard of me, though most of you probably haven't. I think I understand the situation here well enough, and I'm willing to play ball.
[ ...to a degree. he's never been very comfortable with he idea of hero registration, and being abducted to another world doesn't exactly make him more amenable to the idea. still, no reason to rock the boat just yet. ]
I would appreciate some more information, though. Numbers, resources, assets... what kind of threat we're up against. Anything would be appreciated. If there's anything I hate, it's fighting blind.
And... "Youth Leadership Director"? That's got to be a joke, right?

You know, we don't remember anything, if we go back.
voice.
I get possessed by the Phoenix. [ thanks to you! ] Things go about as well as you would expect.
voice.
Ah. That sounds dangerous. [ WOW RUDE SCOTT! ]
Don't tell me you tried to destroy the planet.
voice.
And when you've got that much power, once or twice is almost enough to actually do it.
voice.
Lovely.
voice.
I thought I could control it, but I was wrong.
voice.
voice.
Things eventually went south. The other started losing control of themselves, then losing their portion of the Phoenix. It was controllable when divided in five, but as our numbers dwindled its influence got... worse.
Eventually, it was just me.
voice.
Namor?
[ You can almost hear it. That horrifying thought is enough to stop him, for just long enough that it takes him a few.
Because namor. ]
You seem fine now.
voice.
[ he ponders telling tony who's fault that was...
but no, that's information he can save for a rainy day. ]
The entire world pretty much had to come together to take me out, but they succeeded. And I'm... more or less back to normal now.
voice.
But you say more or less? That's not positive. What's the less?
voice.
No one really completely understands what those side effects were though, not yet. [ not entirely true, but not entirely false either. ]
voice.
[ He says. We all know he would. ]
voice.
Of course. No one would want to do that. [ can you hear the sarcasm in his voice, tony. can you. ]
voice.
[ He totally would. This is Tony Stark. ]
voice.
I thought you were a big proponent of it, actually.
voice.
I'm safer than that. [ No, he isn't. ]
voice.
Do you want to take a wild guess at who was responsible for the Phoenix Force ending up in the five of us?
[ really, tony. take a swing at it. ]
voice.
[ The sarcasm, the way he says it says it all. But he's unwilling to be held liable for something future him has done -- yet.
Because we all know he'd do it anyway, but that's not the point!! ]
voice.
[ at least scott will acknowledge that, even if he didn't agree with tony at the time... history alone will vindicate either of their actions. ]
But isn't it always?
voice.
I'm sure the data is valuable. No chance you still have it here, I gather?
voice.
If it helps at all, you'll at least get that data in the future.
voice.
voice.
If there's one thing you should have learned... or will learn... from that debacle, it's that there are some things you just shouldn't mess with.
