Is this Dr. Stephen Strange of Greenwich Village?

[ He's going through the list. ]

[rehandle]

[ whomst ]

The same.

[deadthenred]

You do magic, right?

[ Just to double-check. He… kinda forgets he's being an anonymous creeper. ]

[rehandle]

I've been known to. Who am I speaking to?

[deadthenred]

Bucky Barnes. I used to be Captain America.

[ Probably his best qualification. ]

I understand if you don't want to talk to me. [ After that thing with the moonbase and the giant eyeballs. ] But this is the protocol for temporal displacement.

[rehandle]

[ Ah. ]

I'm afraid the displacement is more severe than that.

[deadthenred]

I'm listening.

[ Reading? Thinking? He is too old for texts. ]

[rehandle]

This isn't your Earth. You and I have been lifted from our respective universes, which I highly doubt we share.

[deadthenred]

No, I figured that out already. Space and time are connected, right?

[ Magic guy probably knows this better than the man whose superpowers are having a really terrible life story. ]

[rehandle]

They are. Can I skip the multiverse tutorial too?

[ everyone's so well versed these days jeez, he hasn't had to explain this for ages ]

[deadthenred]

I've been around a few times.

[rehandle]

Well, welcome to your latest rodeo.

Feel free to hold your peace on whatever offense we're in recovery from, you and I aren't particularly well acquainted in my experience.

[deadthenred]

I'm thrilled.

It's nothing. We don't know each other too well. [ It's just that most people don't like him. ] I'm before your time.

[ In fact Doctor Strange erased Bucky's memories of their WW2 team-up. ]

[rehandle]

Noted.

Have you been in touch with the others?

[deadthenred]

All the names I recognized.

[ Except Loki. ]

[rehandle]

If you give me your list I can let you know who else to keep an eye out for. We're quite well represented.

[deadthenred]

[ His list is everybody, except Loki, and Peter B Parker because his username is weird. ]

[rehandle]

[ in that case: ]

[Bad username or site: peter @ benjamin] is another Parker. Older than the kid I know and the other Peter Parker here.

[ and as for the conspicuous absence of a name he can only assume is known by anyone who's anyone in any of their universes... ]

When you come across Loki, I'd advise giving him the benefit of the doubt.

[deadthenred]

Because?

[rehandle]

Because he's a valuable member of the group and has been for as long as he and I have been here.

[deadthenred]

"The group"?

[rehandle]

The displaced. Those of us linked by the common theme of multiversal kidnapping and etcetera.

[deadthenred]

I was worried you might be trying to put a team together.

[rehandle]

Not really my scene.

[deadthenred]

That tracks with your file.
