This is gonna piss off Ross and I'm all for that, but even after all the shit that's gone down in the last six years I don't know how I'll explain this.

[The video had opened on what there is to be seen of a partially overcast sky between two of the taller buildings of Dualis before tilting down; obviously whoever's broadcasting is walking along the road, because the picture continues to move at a steady pace down what looks to be a slightly less metropolitan-city-ish shopping district. Part of the hand holding the phone is visible, but nothing else about the person speaking can be seen yet.]

And my limit of pissing him off got blown by about the time I woke up in cyberpunk Egypt, so I've got two questions for anyone with any kind of answer - how in the hell do we get home, and does anyone have some tools I can borrow so I can break some sensitive electronics?

[...yeah, that's all he's volunteering for now. Sorry about that.]

Oh dear. I hope whatever you got up to wasn't too bad. Also, need things like that back home.

[His life would be so much better if he could slip means to tack people as electronics amid their things. Interesting.]

You're right. You should ask Tommy for help if these tools I have aren't useful. He can break things with vibrations I think. Or Billy. Magic is useful.

[Well... that wasn't expected. At all.]

Interesting, you don't know Kate Bishop. Hmmm, that raises some questions. Ever hear of Charles Xavier?

And don't hurt yourself getting down from your nest, archer.

Someone likes to express their unrest with explosions. And someone else doesn't like people askin' a whole lotta questions about it.

[They're not censoring this, though. So maybe they're hoping someone will slip up and say something. Or maybe his translated accent is sliding by moderation]

You know how terrorist situations get real strict leaders upset.

[Real strict = totalitarians. Just he knows better than to call it by that name at the moment.]

Uhh ... both, maybe? I dunno - I'm a mutant, not a nerd, so I don't know a lot about the physics of it all. I just know I can move really fast and sometimes I can sorta blow things up, or slip through solid walls, stuff like that.

Well, I do have you at a touch of a disadvantage, Clint. But yes, they are quite easy. I have a few in my back pocket because I went to school with a guy with wings who liked to perch places.

I do have news for you. Multiverse is real, there are definitely alternate realities. A lot of them. Tons.

Looks like you've got pretty solid answers on when you're going home and how to deal with your personal GPS situation, so I guess I'm just here to add 'Welcome to Cyberpunk Egypt,' which is a lot less Egyptian the farther away from the bizarre temple that you get.

I'd love to hear more about the past six years for you that something like this is just one more thing on the pile.

[There's a pause on his end.]

Find the dorms. I can meet you at the lobby.

Okay, the best way to compare is to look at clothing. Alternate dimensions? Different places. Like Hell versus Earth. they aren't the same places. So Hell would be a shirt. Earth a pair of pants. Sure, they're both clothes, meaning they're both places. And they could have things in common. Color, material. Those things are like basic rules. Gravity existing for example. Or the same label, which could be key individuals.

The multiverse? It has more that just that connection of being clothes. It can be two timelines that are VERY similar but not the same. Two different pairs of pants. For instance, in my dimension, there are two Hawkeyes. One is Clint Barton, the other is Kate Bishop. They work together as a team at times. They both like purple. They're both archers. But there are alternate dimensions where there's a Hawkeye and there's a Kate, but he's an Avenger and she works for Shield. Or she never got into heroics. So those are pants that are the same size but different colors?

Does that help?

Huh, really? How sad. Does your world have dragons?

[What? Nida's got a thing about dragons.]

Honestly, magic doesn't seem to be as naturally available to a lot of humans on a lot of worlds.

It's possible, either way. Or it's possible that her parents never met or never had kids. I've been to parts of the multiverse like that.

And yeah, you might not be wrong about being different from our Hawkeye. I mean, there are a few things. Have you died before? Or are you deaf? Both of those things have happened with our Clint Barton. However he is a practical man, from what I understand. Perhaps you two have that in common.

That's good to hear. I'll be ready for your arrival.

Damn, I was hoping you'd change your mind.

Hey, there is nothing wrong with just doing the physical stuff. I'm a trained... Well, I do a lot of getting to places I'm not supposed to be, or that would be difficult to be at, and I use a polearm. So, I get you. I have friends who were less physical stuff, but you've got to respect the value of a good old fashioned person beating another person up.

Metaphorically sometimes.

Not sure how infinite they are. I've only traveled through a few hundred. But yes, the closer ones are more similar. And it is definitely a headache.

And yeah, with the right circumstances, people can come back to life.


[David knows this better than most.]

I'm sorry for bringing it up. That sort of injury must have been traumatic.
