[ the feed opens up to a girl dressed in a bright tshirt and smiling broadly at her audience, waving her hand enthusiastically. there are prominent scar marks on her face. ]

Hi Riverview! My name's Gabby and I'm new here! I was in New York before. The one with the superheroes. And now I'm here! Unfortunately, I think I lost all my stuff? And my caseworker kind of freaked out when I gave her the list, so maybe you guys can help me!

I'm missing my MAC-10 machine pistols, nunchucks and knuckle busters. Anyone knows where to get those? Oh, and a proper bullet proof suit.

Thanks!

[ she doesn't. gabby knows laura had a mother that she loved dearly. who read to her, gave her a last name, nurtured her life even when it was steadily robbed from her. gabby still has that last name "kinney".

but it's not something gabby misses or thinks about. ]

I have a sister. That's good enough for me.

Pepper spray's cool, but it doesn't really strike fear into the hearts of others. And I'm the fear-strikey type. In moderation.

[madeupnames]

Sisters are totally fine in place of moms, too.

I mean, I've always wanted a sibling, so that's really cool that you have one.

[He rubs his chin.]

What about tasers?

[Less murderous, but not as bad as pepper spray. You see a pattern here?]

[honeybadgerer]

Well, I'm her clone.

[ HMmmmm. ]

I guess tasers are acceptable. Kinda.

[madeupnames]

... Oh. I guess that makes you guys even more intense sisters. You're practically each other, in a lot of ways.

[Is that rude to say? He's not sure, he's never talked to a clone. This is weird.]

I think we can get you a taser! That is, I'm sure I can find a place that sells some...

[honeybadgerer]

Really?

Space sells tasers?

[madeupnames]

Maybe they're cool ones with rainbow lightning.

... Wouldn't that be awesome? Zapping a bad dude with a rainbow?

[honeybadgerer]

That would be the best taser ever.

[ gabby loves rainbows. ]

[madeupnames]

Right? Maybe we should look into this.

We've got wizards in this town, I bet they could do it.

[honeybadgerer]

[ gabby makes a face. ]

No wizards. The last one I met kept horrors in his cupboard. And was a terrible decorator.

[madeupnames]

[madeupnames]

Are you talking about Dr. Strange?

[honeybadgerer]

Yeah, him! Laura took us there to meet him.

Piece of advice: Don't go for doctor advice from a guy who keeps tentacle monsters in his closet.

[madeupnames]

Oh yeaaaah. I totally got a tour around the sanctum, and it's — really something.

But nothing bad happened!

[honeybadgerer]

[ the voice of a girl who is dead inside. ]

That time.

[madeupnames]

... Never a dull moment?

[honeybadgerer]

I wouldn't even know what those look like, okay.

Did you know I was an alien queen once? Totally gross.

[madeupnames]

Really? I've met some pretty cool aliens here, but I dunno if I've met an alien queen yet!

What was she like?

[honeybadgerer]

They were bug aliens.

Wanted me to lay eggs and take over the universe.

[madeupnames]

Oh. Wow. That's... less cool. Not cool at all.

Sounds uncomfortable.

What happened with them, then?

[honeybadgerer]

It was very uncool.

[ she hated it. ]

We got rid of them. Laura, me and the Guardians.

[madeupnames]

[Ah. He smiles a little, feeling a twist in his gut.]

The Guardians?

Do they happen to guard the galaxy?

[honeybadgerer]

[ gabby opens her mouth to say yeah of course but then she scrunches it up, unsure. ]

I guess?

I've never seen the Avengers avenge so it's kinda hard to tell.

[madeupnames]

[He sure hopes he can help do some avenging back home.

Because right now, that might be all they've got.]

I'm friends with the Guardians of the Galaxy here; they're all — pretty awesome.

[honeybadgerer]

Really?

[ that's the best news she's heard. ]

Even Rocket and Groot?

[madeupnames]

No Rocket, but Groot's here! He's a little guy, though.

I dunno what size yours is... But this one's great! He loves movies and tantrums.

[And he misses him a little, with how distant he'd gotten lately.

Dang it all.]
