one █ voice

_{( The voice is clipped, sharp, and to the point-- no scuffling with controls or stopping to take things in, here. Also? Whoever this woman is, she sounds pissed off. )}

So, City—great name, by the way, though I think someone beat you to it—stop me if I’ve got any of this wrong.

Alternate dimension, time travel, and duplicates of people we might already know. Superpowers, overly ambitious AI, and absolutely no discretion about who it pulls in, despite claiming to want “heroes.”

And apparently no reliable way back, since you’re all sitting on your hands, here. Perfect.

Just one question—is the universe as I know it going to implode because of all this crap?

Well, I'm not -- I'm not as incompetent as you probably think I am so.

[uzi]

Prove it.

[webline]

I -- I shouldn't have to!

[uzi]

Not the point. If you really are capable, proving it should be a non-issue.

[webline]

But I am!

[uzi]

Mm-hmm. _{( still waiting for proof. )}

[webline]

I am the only Ultimate who goes through this crap! The only one!

[uzi]

Well the rest of us have other crap to deal with. Don't press your luck.

[webline]

I have other crap too! I don't need this on top of that!

[uzi]

Especially when you waste your time whining about it instead of dealing with it.

[webline]

I'm not -- ugh!

[uzi]

You were saying?

[webline]

Fine. Whatever. You're right.

[uzi]

I always am. Remember that.

[webline]

Wow. [ a beat ] Fine.

[ another beat ]

I'll talk to you later... I guess.
