“This isn’t usually like me,” The brunette started, tapping the shoulder of the person in front of her and showing her map. “I haven’t been to New York and I’d love to find the Smithsonian Museum, but this map is just not helping. You wouldn’t happen to know how to get there, would you?”

             tommy stared at the girl for a solid few seconds, not even glancing at the map she was trying to show him. a slow blink & he looked back at the city. he wasn’t from here, no, but he lived here long enough & had run up & down every street here & enough & had traveled enough to know one big error in her question.       ❛   uh, yeah . . . i can tell you’ve never been to new york. ------   ❜        he looked back to her, eyebrow arched now.        ❛   ‘cause the smithsonian is definitely in washington d.c. so you might want to try by going there instead.   ❜

[speedsster]

                ❛  yeah, fine as always. i was just wondering . . . you were the one who said he wanted to get to know me more, weren’t you?  ❜

peter wasn’t going to argue the boring universe thing. he knew where he was from wasn’t boring, but this other speedster seemed to have the world’s biggest grudge against the x-men, so there wouldn’t be much of a point anyways. he nodded, though, at the mention of knowing scott young. for him scott was only 17, maybe 18, he didn’t know for sure. for the other he sounded like he was an adult. “1983. i don’t think scott hates anyone, or at least the scott i know doesn’t….or i just haven’t met the people he hates. i’m not what?”

              wasn’t sure if the guy wasn’t getting the hint or was purposely playing with him. either way, it brought tommy to narrow his eyes at the other as he shifted to straighten his back & place firsts on his hips. the speed, silver hair, & weird knowledge of quicksilver couldn’t be a coincidence. if quicksilver wasn’t a famed avenger then how else would this guy know of him? ------ at the same time, though, this WASN’T the same quicksilver he had met earlier in his time here.         ❛  ------ well, it’s 2016 here and . . . you’re quicksilver, aren’t you?  ❜

“Wow, you really have a history there” She said almost with a small smile and sighed, crossing her arms “It’s better if you just get out of trouble here, well, that if you can, of course…”

             ❛  you don’t know the half of it.  ❜      tommy’s hands tucked into his pocket & an easy smile curved on the side.     ❛  hey, new universe, new me. maybe i’ll be good here --- but probably not. life’s short !!! you gotta get into trouble sometimes. otherwise it’s no fun.  ❜

“well that’s all your universe, not my universe. which in all honesty sounds kind of like a shitty one to live in if all that crap’s going down. no, the avengers don’t exist. we do just fine with the x-men. not all of them have control of their powers just yet, but they’re working on it. scott’s working on it, which yeah he can be kind of a dick sometimes, but he’s not all bad, especially when he has every right to hate me.”

             ❛  all universes are kinda a mess. a lot of stuff has happened in mine. might sound shitty but YOURS sounds BORING. plus, if you don’t have the avengers then you never have the young avengers which is where i’m from so that’s crap. if they’re all still learning, even scott --- the dude was pretty confident when i met him. you must know him young . . . what time are you from? well he didn’t have any right to hate me or my brother yet he was all for lashing out at us. even when he has a right to be angry, like he did with the scarlet witch, it doesn’t excuse his bullshit. but --- whatever. old argument, i’m not about to dive back in that. so . . . you’re an x-men? they don’t have any speedsters on their team that i know of. only big speedster hero besides me is quicksilver and he . . . isn’t on the avengers for you. ------ you’re not . . . are you?  ❜

[speedsster]

            ❛  my ------ woah, lady, i think you got me confused 'cause i don’t think you know my dad unless i have ANOTHER mom which, if i do, then this seriously needs to stop. at this point i would wish i was just adopted by all my moms because my family situation is weird enough as is.  ❜

           ❛  uh. well, school because --- i vaporized my last one. accidentally !!! but the court case after it still got me in juvie. i got out & i’m pretty sure i might be wanted in the state of new jersey . . . but it’s probably just for the best that i don’t go near schools is the moral of that story. chuck-e-cheese is because they banned me after i pretty much raided them of tickets then broke two of their games. accident, again.  ❜

“brotherhood of the what? okay, first there’s no such thing as the whatever that it is. second, his dad isn’t evil, he might have done some bad things, but he isn’t a bad guy, third his sister isn’t involved in any of this, and last Quicksilver is part of the X-Men.  well, I’ve never heard of them, so they must not be that well known.”

              ❛  first off: evil mutants. brotherhood of evil mutants. and, yeah, there is. in MY universe. maybe not where you’re from there’s no brotherhood but where you’re from isn’t the only universe out there. in MY universe the brotherhood of evil mutants exists, or it did. i didn’t come up with the name, don’t judge me on that. it was FOUNDED by magneto which brings us to secondly: he’s not such a bad guy anymore now that he’s reformed and all. i met him, he’s cool. he’s even part of the x-men !!! or --- he was. don’t know if he still is. there were some disagreements. point is, magneto’s not so bad now but he WAS evil at some point. he was a kind of a terrorist, even he can admit that. third: his sister is the scarlet witch. she’s one of the most powerful people alive --- she wiped out over half the mutant population with three words. i think she’s involved. in my world, at least. lastly: quicksilver is an avenger where i’m from. wherever you’re from the avengers apparently don’t exist but you’ve got the x-men which sucks because in my world the x-men are dicks . . . or at least scott summers is. they tried to take out quicksilver !!! and the scarlet witch, his sister. and magneto. and me and one of my teammates since, unfortunately, when someone says ‘take out all the maximoffs’, my brother and i are included in that mess.  ❜

“Excuse me.” Sebastian said walking up to the first person he saw. He put on a smile as he approached the stranger. “Could you tell me where this building is?” He asked putting showing them an address on a piece of paper. To mundanes it would be the address of an old abandoned cathedral, but it was actually the address of the New York Shadowhunter Institute. 

            the guy was holding out a paper & asking him a question, directions to be exact, but tommy couldn’t be bothered to look at those. no, the speedster was more occupied in looking at the guy’s face which looked pretty much the same as his own & not in the billy way. his twin, at least, had dark hair to differentiate between them . . . or maybe this was billy playing a trick on him. the guy did have reality warping magic, whose to say he couldn’t turn his hair white. tommy’s eyes narrowed.    ❛  billy? dude --- what the hell, why? i know i’m the more awesome of us but a hair change isn’t gonna make you not the lame twin.  ❜

“lucky you, you’ve met one of them now. the invisible women at your service. see, anyone who tries to kill one of the good guys always goes up to becoming an asshole. i think it works the same way for everyone.”

             ❛  ------ you’re telling me that earlier you were talking about how you yourself don’t really come out of your own building? i’d be more impressed but i’ve already met like --- all of the avengers. i’m part of them. the avengers.  ❜      in the blink of an eye there’s the smallest gust of wind then he’s standing behind her, hair now just slightly windblown.     ❛  speed of the young avengers, at yours.  ❜

so the other speedster was named pietro, maybe it would be confusing but he couldn’t say it was super weird. pietro was a foreign name. sounded Italian or Russian or something. the pete thing had to be a coincidence too. then he heard another name. an all too familiar name that had been decided upon after a training session in the Danger Room. “are you sure he said quicksilver? cause quicksilver isn’t an avenger. what’s an avenger, anyways?”

             tommy tossed the ball up in the air & caught it again before looking at the other. must be multiverse stuff. wasn’t everything these days in this place? it was a headache. tommy much preferred the linear timeline thing.     ❛  yeah, i’m a hundred percent certain. what’s quicksilver in your universe? don’t tell me he and his dad and his sister are still trying to wipe out humanity in the brotherhood of evil mutants.  ❜     a name tommy always found a bit much but he’s pretty sure most will agree with him in saying his grandfather had a flair for the dramatics.    ❛  you guys don’t even have the avengers? damn, it must be one shit show where you’re from. they’re earth’s mightiest heroes. the most well known team of superheroes there is. with iron man, captain america, hawkeye . . . you guys have none of this?  ❜

“Believe me, people are the same way with Wanda and me.”  Pietro rolled his eyes a bit and nodded.  He watched the screen for a few more seconds before the game end and he rolled his eyes yet again.  “Those are all things I know already, I want to know things other than the obvious.  What do you enjoy, what do you dislike?  I want to get to know my nephew, not Speed.  Is that too much to ask?”

              there’s a pause that he leaves before responding. he’s processing quicksilver’s words, something that, to him, seems long but at the rate his mind runs it seems to the rest of the world only about three seconds.    ❛  is wanda as lame as billy?  ❜     the jab would be more fun if he smiled but tommy’s expression was very blank on his features & it fell rather cold. in another zip of speed he had disappeared from his spot on the couch & into the small kitchen area where he peeked through the pantry.     ❛  you know, you don’t have to play loving-family for me. you can drop the act, i don’t care. i think we both know you don’t really like me. just ‘cause i’m the lost soul of your nephew or whatever doesn’t mean you’re obligated to bother with me.  ❜     because wasn’t that all he was? an obligation. he didn’t want to force the care of yet another family. pietro felt he had to get along with him because of all this, right? so tommy tried to put that at rest. he didn’t need pity family. he didn’t need family at all !!! billy grew up with his loving mother & father, he had a standard for families, but tommy? tommy grew up to the sound of yelling & teaching to comfort himself in his room & walking home from school because his dad forgot to pick him up again & the disapproving looks from his dad’s girlfriends. he didn’t know what a caring family was like. he zipped to the counter, rice krispy treat now in hand to munch on.     ❛  billy’s really sensitive but i couldn’t care less if you act like my uncle. i’m used to it.  ❜

     “i’m going to be honest with you -” partially because she’s not a great liar and would rather prefer to shoot straight instead of beat around the bush. “- and tell you flat out that i understood approximately fifty percent of what you just said. did you even stop to breathe?” nancy blinks at him in a mix of wonder and confusion. he just spewed the whole plot of a movie she’s never seen and now doesn’t really want to see ( serial killers rarely work together, what is that? ) in her direction at a mile-a-minute rate. “what i did understand sounded like a whole lot of coincidences though. their car broke down and the only auto-shop around is run by a murderer? and then the only motel around is also run by a murderer, who’s in on it? who’s idea even was it in the first place to put these two places so close to each other? were they always run by tandem murderers?” she shakes her head but there’s still a smile on her face because this is a pretty nice conversation, even if it’s mind-boggling in a few ways. “wait - superheroes? like, vigilantes who base themselves off of comic book heroes?” those do exist. nancy has talked with a few before, when she was working in scotland on the whole thing with a terrorist group and a spy organization and her mom’s death. just over the internet for a little bit. “but i do understand the part about them getting annoyed when people tried to help. the police where i’m from are really good, though! when i was under arrest for being framed for arson they let me out of the holding cell so i could figure out who really did it.”

              a chuckle of a breath leaves his mouth. he must have sped up during his rambling at some point --- he did that sometimes without realizing. she wasn’t looking at him like he had just grown a second head so, hopefully, he wasn’t going too fast. it was slow enough that it still sounded like words. being a speedster was great but at the same time it was one of the hardest things in the world. you had to constantly remember to go slow for the sake of all the snails in the world & it was maddening. you got used to it, sure, but it sure as hell doesn’t mean you ever end up liking it. when you babble on it’s quite easy to pick up pace without realizing it & soon enough you’re spouting a whole book at a mile a minute.      ❛  real fast breaths, that’s the key.  ❜     he says it as a joke but it’s actually pretty true. tommy’s entire body was wired for speed beyond any other’s capability. what seemed like a long stream of babble to others was easy paced talking to him. the quick breaths were just normal for him.        ❛  hey, it’s just three guys murdering people at a shitty motel in the middle of nowhere together. maybe they get off on it, there are some weird people in this world so you never know. i don’t know the complete history of the motel and the murderers. maybe one day they’ll make a prequel including emotional backgrounds for everyone. if they do, i’ll find you. we can see it together.  ❜      he’d weirdly be alright with that, actually. not the prequel thing but seeing a movie with her. seeing her again somehow. she could hold a decent conversation &, honestly, was pretty fair in the looks area. maybe he’d call her lame for calling out the errors in horror movies --- she wasn’t completely shitty about calling it out so he could appreciate that.      ❛  no, i mean like superheroes. like --- the avengers. captain american and iron man and spiderman . . . all those guys with super abilities or gear that run around protecting the world from evil. the police can deal with the little stuff, robberies n’ all, but when the big stuff comes they can’t handle comes? like alien invasion or --- or a supervillain robbing a bank? they get mad at the superheroes who come in to save the day ‘cause they feel like they’re stealing the show. and that --- that’s stupid !!! you were just saved. why do you have to be an asshole about it?  ❜    tommy threw up his hands, exasperated. the young avengers had had their fair share of dealing with police. it was even worse for them as they were so young as well, tommy thinks.    ❛  whatever, though --- at least you have people who are alright. did you find out who it really was, by the way? what’s that make you? some kinda young super sleuth? got a gang and a talking dog i should know about?  ❜
