[Voice] [Take one] [Filtered against known villains]

This is ridiculous.

People get lost in South Brooklyn all the time but I don't. So here's the deal. Team, you respond to this as fast as you can and I'll pretend that you guys didn't abandon me in the middle of an invasion. Anyone else? Don't bother with directions. I don't need directions. Either my team will find me or I'll find them.

Or else.

Also, I don't know what the accosting was, but I'm going to pretend it didn't happen. Whatever is going on in this place is giving me a headache. Dog tags. Really.

Should I be blaming you for this?

Whoa, hey. This wasn't my fault.

I mean, Eli, c'mon. Logic. How could I possibly have managed this? Iwanttoteleporteveryone,evenpeoplewhoarefictional,toacitylikeNewYorkbutnotandputanIronMansuitinchargeandgetridofthepoliceandgiveeveryonecommunicatorsanddogtagsandmakethemfightcrimeforme is a bit of a mouthful.

I'm not saying you did it on purpose.

I'm pretty sure logic stopped applying when Ted tossed out sci-fi snatch and grab.

Who the hell put Iron Man in charge?

Well, it wasn't me. As far as I know, no one knows who brought us here, except up until recently it was walking around and pretending to be Iron Man.

The actual Iron Man is here, but he's mostly just. You know. Walking around and pretending he isn't a douche. Spoiler: It isn't working.

I kind of knew it wasn't you.

And the rest of the team? Who else is here?

Kate, Tommy. We had Cassie, but she got zapped home a few weeks ago. So. Who knows how long that will last.

You'd have to check with Teddy 'cause he's been here longer, but I think he said Vision was here for a while. But that was months ago.

I'll check.

How long have you been here, then?

Uh. Beginning of April? Which would make it... Geez, two months? I'm not sure if it feels like shorter or longer, but that doesn't sound right.

Two months.

And Ted's been here over six.

And Kate? Where is she, anyway?

Kate's been here longer than me, at least this time around, but not as long as Teddy. She's probably out on patrol by this point, but she'll show up when she gets around to checking in on the comm.

Wow.

You're.

Just.

Special. Or awesome. Possibly both.

You act like that's news.

Guys, focus.

Dude. Eli. I've been here since like, October, alright? I've had plenty of time to focus.

In other words, blame Katie.

October?

I saw you two hours ago.

....what did she do?

Listen, you might have seen me two hours ago, but I haven't seen you since -- god, what was it, December?

You were here for a little while, but got ported back. Kind of figured from your post that you got the whole brain-wipey deal and didn't remember anymore. That, uh, happens sometimes.

private;

Honestly, she's been trying real hard to keep us together. There's a whole lot of stuff that's gone down, Eli.

None of it pretty. And given what was going on back home when I left? That's saying something.

You want to fill me in or am I waiting for her to do it?

This week's the-sky-is-falling-moment was when this guy posing at Clint started running around the City, killing civvies. Posted it on the Network too and Kate, well, obviously. Not happy about that at all.

The guy's still out there somewhere and Peter says it's Bullseye, but. I dunno. Sometimes it's hard to keep track, to be honest.

[a hesitation]

And...there's been some other stuff. But I think you'd better ask Bill or Kate to tell you about it. I guess.
