[Raven clears her throat quietly.]

Hello? I'm not supposed to be here. Is anyone out there?

[She falls silent. Shaw wouldn't have taken only her. The feed stays silent for a few seconds as she ducks into an empty room to attempt to shift into a form Shaw doesn't know, just in case, and there is a quiet gasp.]I'm going to miss Cu- something really

[Oh, hey now, Tony totally recognizes that voice. He didn't talk to her much when she was here before, but he's pretty sure that's Charles's hot little sister.] Hey, you're that blue girl! Mystique, right? You're back in Aliunde, babe, it's okay. [Well, for a relative definition of 'okay' because being kidnapped and held on some strange planet against your will isn't really 'okay.']

[softenedbyme]

I can't be back in a place I've never been before, whoever you are. How do you know who I am?

[ironfail]

[Oh, well, that's unexpected.] It's Tony? Tony Stark? Oh, great, lemme guess, you don't remember a thing about this place.

[softenedbyme]

I don't know who you are, Tony, and I already said I don't know where I am.

[ironfail]

[Tony groans and rubs his forehead. This is not the fun girl he remembers. Fuck you, Aliunde, and your weird time paradoxes.] Ugh, time travel.

[softenedbyme]

Time travel?

[Give her a bit, Tony. She's utterly confused.]

[ironfail]

Assuming that you are the same blue-skinned little sister of Charles Xavier named Mystique, I've met you here before, a few months ago.

[softenedbyme]

...I don't know you.

[This is remarkably weird.]

Charles is my brother, though. Is he...Is he here?

[ironfail]

Exactly. Time travel. I probably met a later version of you or something.

[Hey, think how he feels, he just called you babe completely out of the blue. haha puns.]

Yeah, he's been here for a while.

[softenedbyme]

[Later version, time travel. Teleportation was a mutation, perhaps time travel could be...]

...I just saw him a couple hours ago.Were we friends? ...Before? Or...after?

[ironfail]

Huh? Uh, I guess so? He doesn't talk about you much, but we don't really talk families in general. [Definitely not on Tony's part.]

[softenedbyme]

[She laughs quietly.]

I mean you and me, not Charles and I.

[Raven will have to learn where they stand on her own, she understands that.]

[ironfail]

Oh! [Tony laughs, shaking his head at his mistake.] We didn't get a chance to talk much before you vanished, but you were pretty cool. [Which is high praise coming from Tony Stark.] And you promised to show me your powers but never got the chance.

[softenedbyme]

Since I don't remember making that promise, you'll have to convince me again.

[ironfail]

Well you never actually told me what they are, so. I'm guessing laser beams from your eyes.

[softenedbyme]

[She laughs.]

It's not. I don't think that would be as awesome as you think.

[Havok has a hard time with his energy-shooting power. She can't imagine something like that coming from your eyes.]
