[ the video clicks onto a large, muscular green woman sitting on a deserted bench in a purple tanktop and matching pants. and she's obviously very, very tall.

there's a smile before she speaks up.Alright, let me get this straight. I got taken away from my own "superhero" business to be one in another dimension? And here I left my heroing license

Shulkie! You sure took your sweet time getting here.

[shesmashes]

Webhead! [ she's grinning so hard ]

Okay, if you got here before me, I am definitely late to the party.

[incywincyhero]

You strike me as more of a gatecrasher, anyway.

[Ba dum ching!]

So anyway, been filled in on the basics yet?

[shesmashes]

Got the whole welcome spiel already. Kidnapping robot, various shenanigans, and pretty much part of the whole AU package.

[incywincyhero]

That's the long and the short of it. So, when d'you hail from?

[shesmashes]

Do you want the vague answer or the overly specific one?

[incywincyhero]

Oh, I am always up for awkwardly specific details of the immediate past and/or possible future. That's practically what being stuck together in an alternate universe is for.

[shesmashes]

Well, in that case! Baaasssically, I just hauled my butt back over from Marinmer, after having to deal with the usual Skrull shenanigans. I was about to break it out on my own again. You know, big time.

[incywincyhero]

[Blank stare.]

Uh, I don't suppose you could link that to a contemporary world event or two, couldja? I mean, we've had a lot of Skrull shenanigans over the years.

[shesmashes]

I wasn't around for dealing with it Avengers-style. Me and J were doing our own thing.

[ pauses ]

It was after Bruce came back. You know. From space.

[incywincyhero]

[Yep, this pause sure is awkward.]

Right, those skrull shenanigans. Well, you're, what, a year-ish behind me? Not sure quite where everyone else lines up but we all seem to hail from the same one/two-year window.

Except for the ones from alternate timelines, anyway.

[shesmashes]

I think I'll pass on the alternate timelines.

[ aaanooother pause ]

Do I want to know the future?

[incywincyhero]

You say that now, but once your alternate ... successors show up in droves, it ain't gonna be so easy.

[Uncomfortable shrug. Osborn's dark reign, the fall of Asgard ... she's missed a lot.]

Depends. When you go back you won't remember anything, so no matter what you do you can't change a thing.

[shesmashes]

I dunno; I think being a Spider is more appealing than being a Hulk. Just saying.

[ frown ]

I'll pass then. The future's better off staying unknown to me.

[incywincyhero]

[Contemplative pause.]

Yeah, I've got to say that's about the only blank you could fill in where I'd agree with that sentence.

Welp, don't say I didn't warn you, anyway.

Speaking of, I know that Osborn and Electro are lurking around here somewhere, though I haven't seen either in the past while. Probably should check on that... They're not the only villain types around right now, either.

[shesmashes]

"Hulk smash" isn't for everyone.

[ another pause from her ]

Hey, whatever villain thinks he can get his jollies out here, send them my way. I've been looking forward to knocking some baddies out for a while.
