[There is a blue-eyed child looking at you. She can't be more than three. She is, however, wearing a very grown-up expression of dissatisfaction. And some kind of superhero outfit with a big "6" on the chest.

Ordinarily, Val would be cagier about immediately going public in a strange place, but, well, she has A Problem. When she speaks, it's with fully adult syntax and no hint of a lisp or any other childish speech impediment.]


Hi. I'm Valeria Richards. Assuming no alternate timeline stuff--not a safe assumption, I know, but sometimes you gotta live dangerously--it looks like there are a few people out there who're friends of my parents. You've got a couple of hours to come get me before they [she turns the phone to show a pair of what are presumably social workers, looking simultaneously put-upon and patient] try to stick me in foster care and things get sketchy.

[Anyone who knows Val will know that's more for the prospective foster parents' protection than hers. No one wants her turning some unfortunate family's appliances into her robot escape army.]

...'Bye.

[ ...the Richards kid. He met her when Laura was babysitting. Which is a whole clusterfuck that he doesn't really want to remember, but whatever.

The point is, she's here, and she's like, a tiny little kid. The fact that she's also ridicusmart is beside the point.

What are you gonna do, stand there and wait for social services? You want to get out of there, kid. Come to the MAC or something, at least there's other ImPorts there.

There are ways around them.

( The social workers, the laws, and etc. )

Has anyone picked you up yet, kiddo?

Your mom and dad aren't here right now, honey bee, but it looks like Tony's already getting you right up to speed.

Somehow, I never considered that there might be no age limit on her targets.

Did they—

[ she squints ]

Did you call the social workers?

[ She is honestly surprised they work here! ]

[Hi Valeria there's an alien stroking his chin at you.]

Hm. Oddly advanced diction for human child of such young age. Wonder why. Taken from universe where humans ordinarily achieve earlier mental maturity? No, no, biologically unsupportable. Shapeshifter assuming childlike form? Doesn't make sense, post instantly reveals ruse. Content of transmission doesn't suggest adult forced into younger body, presence of social workers indicates post content real and not an illusion... Perhaps-

[Mordin takes a deep breath, then points at the screen and at Valeria.]

Human child with unusually advanced intellect due to mutation?

Hey, you've got superpowers now. Didn't anybody tell you? You can just beat them up and fly away or something!

[Whoever this six-year-old boy is he is clearly a paragon of maturity and responsibility.]

[Hmm. The Richards girl. Laura hasn't met her (sadly yet) but she knows of her...and she's going to have a ton of different people trying to protect her, of course.]

[But something about Laura can't resist a little kid in trouble. So she turns on her phone, sitting off to the side in one of her classes at the dojo, kids practicing in the background.]


Did someone come and get you?

Valeria? Sorry, kiddo, I didn't even see this until a second ago -- where are you now? [He's assuming one of the other Avengers who's spoken up has taken her in, but not watched all the threads yet.]
