[ 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!

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.]

[honeybadgerer]

[ you're ahead of her, she has zero. ]

Yeah! We have to know the truth.

[madeupnames]

Awesome! Name a time and store, I'll totally blow money on critical testing.

[Peter this is not remotely critica-]

I'm Peter, by the way.

[honeybadgerer]

[ she beams. ]

I'm Gabby. Gabby Kinney.

[madeupnames]

Heya, Gabby!

You're pretty cool. Hopefully my lameness won't mess up your ranking.

[honeybadgerer]

What makes you think you're lame?

[madeupnames]

[Oh, well, shoot. Usually people just assume he's accurate about that.]

Oh, you know. Just. Nerdy and lame.

Which I'm cool with, by the way! I like being a lame nerd. Mostly.

[honeybadgerer]

[ she's a rebel. ]

That's good and all but . . . you probably shouldn't call yourself names. Otherwise, they kinda stick, y'know?

I mean, would you call someone else lame?

[madeupnames]

Well... I'd definitely call muggers and bad guys lame.

[Peter you know that's not what she means.]
