[ have a video of a young girl dressed in red and blues, a sash around her neck and a lightning bolt across her chest. ]

Hey everyone 😘

Just wanted to say a big thank you 🙏🏾 for all your help getting Cerberus back home! I really appreciate everyone coming together to find another way of helping him out.

Oh, and my name is Ms. Marvel. I'm from Jersey City and I guess I was an Avenger? Not for very long, but I still have them on speed dial.

Hope we can all team up again into making the city a safe place 🥰!

video he guesses, because lol what is network communication he just rolls with the default

[badtimeline]

That was a very creative solution.

[He's smiling. Strong "grandpa proud of The Youths" energy.]

[ that mullet looks familiar . . . ]

Is it? I guess I just like solutions that don't involve a lot of violence.

[badtimeline]

[Don't tell him it looks like a mullet, he's been through too much already.]

Any world would be a better place if more people thought that way. It's an unfortunately uncommon view.

[bestversion]

That's true.

But if we're in a new world . . . isn't it up to us to set the standard?

[badtimeline]

I think it's an obligation for all of us to set the standard support, no matter what world we're in. But I imagine the people who belong in this realm also have their own ideas of what is right.

[bestversion]

Like the Alliances?

Still seems kind of weird to me.

[badtimeline]

Or the locals, with or without powers. The Alliances themselves may be a good thing...but I intend to take some time before I commit myself to anyone's cause.

[bestversion]

Yeah . . . I don't think I know enough to join up with any other team and it's a big commitment.

[badtimeline]

I agree. That's not to say there's no value in teamwork in general, though - far from it.

[bestversion]

[ she nods. ]

Are you on a team?

[badtimeline]

[He smiles. There's a touch of wistfulness in his eyes.]

I was. In the world I come from, it was necessary that we band together to fight against a great evil.

[bestversion]

[ that sounds kind of cool. very lord of the ring ish. ]

I've been on the Avengers and the Champions but I'm really more of a small town hero.

[badtimeline]

Oh? How much heroing does a small town need?

[He's genuinely curious about that one.]

[bestversion]

Maybe not as much as New York City.

But there's always someone who is left unheard. That's where a superhero comes in.

[badtimeline]

I wouldn't call myself an expert on what it means to be a hero. But that strikes me as exactly right.

[bestversion]

You think so?

[badtimeline]

I do. There's nothing nobler than helping those who can't help themselves.

[bestversion]

[ noble, huh . . . ]

We have a saying in the Quran. "There is reward for kindness to every living thing."
