[incywincyhero]

Just got a notification from Hank McCoy's export sensor. He set an automated goodbye message, so... some of you will probably have gotten that.

We got brought in at about the same time, almost three years ago. Man, if he doesn't come back, it's gonna be weird without him.

Anyway. Just thought people should know.

[Angelica looks stunned and saddened.]

No way! I can't believe it!

Yeah, I had the same reaction.

Well, actually my reaction was a word that shouldn't be repeated on the network when there might be kids reading, but you know. In spirit.

[radiantly]

He's been here for so long. It's hard to imagine the City without him, let alone the school.

Doctor McCoy is -- [ He takes a moment to absorb the information. Then his expression falls. ] I see. I'm sorry to hear.

[incywincyhero]

Hasn't been a good couple of weeks for us, has it.

[incywincyhero]

You first came here a little before us, didn't you?

[invoking]

It's been a hectic summer. It doesn't seem as if it'll slow down anytime soon. [ He hasn't realized yet Jess is also gone. ]

[incywincyhero]

[Which Peter doesn't realize, since it was announced and everything.] How're you doing? I know you and Jess were close.

[Deep inhale.]

Regrettable news. Valuable asset to community: educator, healer, friend. Will be missed.

Thank you for informing us. Good knowing export sensors still functioning, at least.

[invoking]

[ Now he gives Peter an odd look. ]

Sorry?

[incywincyhero]

[Oh expletive deleted.]

Gil, I'm really sorry, things have been so crazy, I thought -- heck, I don't know what I thought, but I should've made sure to check you knew.

Jess got ported out.

[radiantly]

That's right. I had about a six month head start.

[invoking]

Jessica, too? [ He pauses again, bewildered by the fact. ] When?

video

[incywincyhero]

A few days ago.

[incywincyhero]

So, he was here a big chunk of your time, too.

I know a bunch of the other Avengers have checked out, too -- you holding up okay?

You can do that? Set a goodbye message?

[liverletdie]

It could be something temporary. We all get sent home every now and then.

[invoking]

No, I hadn't heard.

But was she alright? She was stuck in that troll's body...

[radiantly]

Yes. He's been such a driving force at Xavier's, I'm just not certain how we'll get along without Hank here to guide us.

[She sighs.]

I've been alright. But Pietro's been behaving a bit strangely lately.

pointedly text;

[incywincyhero]

I know. But this... feels different, somehow.

[incywincyhero]

That's right, you're pretty new here, aren't you. Billy, is that right?

Yeah, Professor Solus and I created sensors you can attach to your comm. When you get sent home it pings us, and you can also set it to trigger automated messages for your friends here.

[incywincyhero]

We should probably make a new announcement about it soon, for everyone new who's come in since the last time.

[incywincyhero]

She was managing. Anyway, it had just worn off... not that it matters. Of course she'll be in her own body back in her own universe.

[incywincyhero]

I'm sure you'll all pull through. If there's any way I can help -- I dunno, help you get organized or something... let me know.

[Since he's posting as Peter instead of Spider-Man, he refrains from the obvious quip.]

Everything's been a bit strange lately. Last week I thought I was from LA.

Yeah, you got me.

Oh wow that's really awesome. And useful.
