[Billy's taken some time to get his bearings again here. When he was here the last time, he was sent home and time had passed, he'd come back to only find a few days had passed. Coming back now and finding that it's been nine months is a bit of a shock. He's used a few locating spells to try and find his friends but so far nothing's come up. Tommy, Kate, Teddy, even Erik, it seems, are all gone. Not very surprising considering how long it's been but still, after everything that happened with Doom, he feels more lonely now than ever. He's praying that maybe something is going on and he just can't pick up on them, that they're still around.]

... Hey. Uhm. This is Billy Kaplan. I was here for about half a year until August. Looks like I was gone for awhile. A really long while. Just... wondering if there's anyone still around who remembers me. Or if there's anyone who knows about the Avengers or Young Avengers. If you could talk to me, that'd be great.

There was also someone here named Michael Xavier when I was around. He's... important to me and it looks like he's not in the city anymore. If someone could tell me what happened to him, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Do you have all your powers from before?

[doeswhathewants]

Yes. Mostly. [Can he control them all? Nope.]

And you have inherited your mother's powers? [Oh, he knows who you are now.] My wise friend Pickles- a lord of the heaviest of metals- though recently departed from this island taught me a phrase that I think applies to your alternate universe mother; total MILF.

I'm fairly certain it is a compliment on her prowess, but he never got a chance to explain the full meaning of the colloquialism.

[zapswithmagic]

I've got similar powers but they're not the exact same thing.

[... Wait, did he just-] Excuse me? That's my mother you're talking about! ... Well. A different version of her.

[doeswhathewants]

You do not think her worthy of such a compliment? Tsk. Such a son.

[He might be teasing.]

Well, what is it you can do?

[zapswithmagic]

[Oh my god.] Do you even know what those letters stand for?

[doeswhathewants]

Well... Pickles never got that far in his explanation of that colloquialism. [That would be a verbose no.]

[zapswithmagic]

How old are you?

[doeswhathewants]

I am very nearly fourteen. [Puffing up a bit] That's probably three hundred in human years. [And that's a lie.]

[zapswithmagic]

[He is so not explaining where babies come from to you.]

It's a very rude and inappropriate thing to say and you shouldn't say it again.

[doeswhathewants]

[He knows where babies come from. Odin steals them from Jotunheim after killing their fathers.]

What does it mean?

[zapswithmagic]

It means you want to do extremely inappropriate things to her.

[doeswhathewants]

Oh. Well, I'd not do anything untoward. Only compliment her appearance. Except those eyebrows.

[zapswithmagic]

Then just say she's pretty instead of that.

[doeswhathewants]

I am trying to improve my slang. Pickles was helping. Now Deadpool is.
