[The man on the screen looks utterly exhausted. Haggard might even be apt considering the greyish pallor of his skin under his dark stubble and the even darker circles under his eyes. When the video jostles in his hold for a moment, it displays his bare chest before coming up to his face. He looks like he tried to wash off some combination of mud, sand, and various other things best not examined too closely and didn't do too great a job of it. Despite that, he tries for a tired smile and a finger taps the screen before withdrawing.]

First off, I'd like to say that Tony Stark makes the world's most durable phone. I'd do a testimonial commercial, but that might be in bad taste.

Second, I've read some of the information available and I think you'll understand it's not the easiest thing to swallow, but I'm going with it as a working theory for now. Don't ask why, it's a long story.

Third... [He trails off and turns his head away from the camera before looking back at it] I don't know what the third is, let's say I want to issue a blanket apology and leave it at that.

[ooc: The Hulk ended up getting stuck outside at sundown and fought (pounding and getting pounded on) all night. Between that and a chitauri invasion, I figure Bruce is feeling a little run down.]

[Yep, sure is! And not particularly trying to hide it, either. Listen, cute shirtless man on the network, she needs a second before getting her focus back.]

Oh, other than interdimensional kidnapping and becoming a stranger in a strange land, I can't think of anything.

...Unless you were responsible for the incredible commotion outside last night. But I don't even know if that's normal for this place, I can't tell yet.

[Aha! Who says a genius can't occasionally figure out the mind of a-- cute?]

I don't think commotion's traumatic around here, so we probably don't have to worry about clarifying the terms of my apology.

[Yes. Cute. Under the obvious stress and wear, she can see it.]

Well then I guess we're all settled.

Or at least, I am. What happened to you?

[RIGHT! Back to business.]

You mean other than interdimensional kidnapping and becoming a stranger in a strange land?

[Right-o. Because too much more and he'd really be missing his glasses.]

[Say the word, son, Prue could probably magic up some glasses for you, or fix your eyes. She smiles a little at the turnabout.]

Yes. Besides that.

Where are you? I can come help you.

[If he had his eyes fixed what would he take off or put on at dramatic moments?]

I'm on the beach, or a beach at least. I'm not sure if the video I showed this other guy is going to help him find me.

[Decorative glasses, obviously.]

What do you need?

You mean other than a way to go home? It looks like I've had a place to stay and some clothes dropped in my lap, but I could use some information if you know anything more about the Core than everyone else I've asked.

[Her face falls slightly.]

I'm sorry, I'm still really new. I've only been here for a week.

[...]

Are you okay?

[She's finally noticing the squinting thing. It's not even that sunny out.]

It's okay. From what people are telling me there's a lot of that going around.

[He looks ruefully down at himself]

I've been better, but believe it or not, I've been worse.
