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!

[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.]

[honeybadgerer]

Mine was tiny too. Like a baby tree.

[ jonathan tried to bite him, but they got along fine after that. it's a good sign though. maybe they know her too. ]

[madeupnames]

Yeah! Yeah, that's him here. He's cool.

And I bet he'd love for a new friend, if he doesn't remember meeting you.

[honeybadgerer]

I wouldn't mind meeting him again even if he doesn't remember me.

[madeupnames]

I bet he'd enjoy meeting you, too. Especially if you're already on his good side.

Just bring snacks and he'll love you instantly.

[honeybadgerer]

What kind of snacks does a tree eat?

[madeupnames]

Anything and everything.

Especially what they don't recommend in any diet. Like potato chips and skittles.

[honeybadgerer]

. . . Not together right?

[madeupnames]

I mean... honest answer?

It's more than possible.

[honeybadgerer]

Ewww.

I think. Actually I don't know how skittles and potato chips tastes like.

We should test it.

[madeupnames]

Dude. You wanna do gross snack test tastes?

I'll totally try cheeze-its with licorice.

[It sounds like something he and Ned would do.

... He really misses Ned.]
