I guess my roommate's moved out? Which, like, I didn't see her that much to begin with, but she was just a kid, so I hope she's doing okay.

Oh, yeah, and I've like got the solar thing on lockdown what with everything being horrible and burning (I guess), but I understand if people avoid me until this gets fixed?

I feel like now is the perfect time for a beach or pool party or something! Or at least, like, sprinkler party on the lawn.

That's Captain Marvel now.

Do I know you? [The name seems somewhat familiar...]

[notvictorious]

No, definitely not. You're just famous.

[tookthename]

So you're from my world, but the past. What's your name, kid?

[notvictorious]

I don't know if it's that straightforward. um, Victor Mancha. I'm Ultron's kid.

2/3

[tookthename]

Okay, done now XD

[tookthename]

Well, nice to finally meet you, Victor.

[notvictorious]

Same. Congrats on your promotion?

[tookthename]

Thanks.

So what kind of powers do you have?

[notvictorious]

uh well, I'm a cyborg, so a lot of stuff that goes into cybernetics. Fusing nanites with human DNA. I can interface with computers and most electronics. Electromagnetic manipulation, and some pretty intense regenative abilities.

Telling you all this just feels like bragging.

[panchromatic]

You're also weirdly good at charades!

[notvictorious]

It's a team effort.

[tookthename]

It should. That's pretty impressive. You interested in helping out the Avengers here in New Moore?

[notvictorious]

No way. Did you miss the part about me being Ultron's kid? Cause it wasn't like I was some happy cyborg accident, okay, he literally made me to destroy the Avengers from the inside. So me joining up is the worst possible idea for everybody.

[tookthename]

Is it written into your program?

[notvictorious]

Yeah.

[tookthename]

Would it be alright if you helped out every once in a while? If we had something that required someone tech savvy?

[notvictorious]

You don't think it seems like a helluva risk just for some tech support?

[panchromatic]

I volunteer Molly to punch you if you start looking evil.

[notvictorious]

Can we mandate some kind of severity code on the punching? Last time you gave her that power, she punched me one time for not buying ice cream.

[tookthename]

It'd be as a last resort.

Is it specifically the Avengers? Could you work with another group?

[notvictorious]

It's Ultron. If Doctor Pym touched it, I'm supposed to burn it to the ground. But I don't know, I am in the Runaways, but we're not really like a formal superhero group.

[tookthename]

I'm saying there are other groups here from other universes. Maybe working with them wouldn't trigger it?

[notvictorious]

I don't know what triggers it. All I know is the weird stuff on this island almost never affects me, but when it does, it makes me him and I do a lot of damage. And I've never joined up with any group here.

I didn't bring this up to ask you to make me feel better, or whatever. I just figured somebody like Ms Marvel probably wanna know something like this.

[tookthename]

Thank you for telling me. If there's anything you need let me know.

How old are you?
