[ 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.

[rehandle]

Good to know someone somewhere has been keeping tabs.

If you need any information pertaining to this place or the people you come across, I've been conscious here since the beginning. If I can't answer your question I should be able to pass you on to somebody who can.

[ Why does he keep volunteering his services as database to people in his general multiversal sphere? A mystery, but here he is ]

[deadthenred]

Okay. First question: what makes you think you've been here since the beginning?

[rehandle]

I've been conscious since our collective beginning, by which I mean I was part of the first group to be taken in by Morningstar. It's possible others of us were awake before then but we've not come across anyone else like us.

We've evidence to suggest that most if not all of us have been here for longer than any of us have been awake.

[deadthenred]

500 years, give or take?

[rehandle]

9 months, give or take. There's a more comprehensive breakdown of our current knowledge here, courtesy of Cassian Andor.
