[The video cuts on to a girl staring intently at the screen, face flecked with something dark and dirty-it’s hard to tell what it is from the shadowed lighting as she holds the PDA away from her-as if she does not care to clean herself up. She does not.] This is another future. Not the only one. I must return to mine.

[She pauses for a moment,

[Long stare.]

Laura? Are you okay?

[xtricated]

[video]

Functional. [Meaning she is still capable of fighting if needed.] Who are you?

[onceaspy]

[Video]

I'm Alex. [Pause as he skims through other conversations.] Ohhhh. I know the other you here. I just assumed you were her, but.

Okay, wow, this is weird.

[xtricated]

[Video]

I have been told so. I am...[Laura, but not the Laura he knows. It is her name. But not her only one.]...X.

[ascending_angel]

[Video...oh my God LJ what did you do D:]

Laura. Hi. We can't go back, at least not willingly.

[xtricated]

[Video]

Santo said you were here, Archangel. [She is not sure how much he knows or what time he is from, or whether or not knowing her name means anything.] Do you remember X-Force?

[ascending_angel]

I do. Your arm...that's awhile back for me.

Did someone offer you some help?

[xtricated]

I have been directed to seek out one named Katara and Thor. [More importantly] Did we accomplish our mission? [By that she means are Julian and the others still alive.]

Where the hell are you TELL ME. I'll fly you over.

[xtricated]

[She had already been told, but still, seeing him does make that twisted knot in her stomach less tight.] Julian. I am fine. Pixie can teleport us to Thor.

[missfrostspet]

[Video]

You're fine my ass. What happened to your arm?!

[Subtle, Julian.]

[xtricated]

It was cut off. [Why is he so angry?] It is already growing back. [So why is he upset about it? Julian is such an emotion-driven person.]

[butterflybolts]

Oh, this will be interesting. Definitely.

[She'll back off on the offers of help as others had already dealt with it.]

[xtricated]

I do not understand what you mean.

[butterflybolts]

Oh, just the fact there are two of you about.

[xtricated]

If you think it so. Have there been others like us before? Doubles.

[godnotcrazy]

Did something happen, Laura? [Yeah he knows about this whole alternate thing, but is sort of assuming they all look different, like the Loki's, or himself and his alternate.]

[Video]

[xtricated]

Nothing that cannot be managed. Should I know you?

[Video]

[godnotcrazy]

[Hm, is she all right?] I'm Thor, Loki's brother?

[Video]

[xtricated]

You are Doctor Thor? [Somewhat surprised.] I have been directed to you.
