Has anyone else had any luck with time travel with this place? Or tested any theories related to the space-time continuum?

Knowing if you've broken any ground would help a lot.

For now, the name's Nathaniel. Nate's good, too.

Heavily Encrypted to the Original Young Avengers (AKA not the New Moore ones)

I considered hiding the moment I got all that explained to me, especially when I saw you were here. It's a lot easier to hide when I have somewhere to go. Something to change. I've got my armor, but not much else in the way of helping with this situation here. I've tried a few tricks already, and I'm just getting massive blockage. I wanted to contact you with good news if I ever did. That was the idea, anyway. It doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon.

So, I'll start with what I need to start with. ... What I'm supposed to start with.

I'm sorry.

I don't know how long it's been for any of you, but that wasn't the way to go. That wasn't the way I was supposed to make that promise. It didn't sound like much of a promise, did it?

A promise. An apology. They aren't enough. It's the most I can do until I show that I won't be ... myself. At least it looks like I have some time off to think about it.

Hello, Nathaniel! I'm the Doctor.

Lots of theories. Not a lot of answers. Although it seems to be working better for you young ones than it has for me, so you never know!

[escapeplan]

Just "the Doctor"?

... And as for "young ones," what do you mean? How do we do it?

[allons_y_alonso]

That's right! The definite article!

Although there are two of me here.

Do you know, they've been a bit skittish at letting me poke about? Maybe they'll show you, and you can tell me, and then I'll get everything up and running again!

[maiditoutalive]

thats because you use a box
much easier to break with all those technical moving parts

[allons_y_alonso]

Yes, well, jumping through the Time Vortex hands-free isn't very good for health and sanity!

[badnewsboy]

Ah! You're the first new arrival who hasn't mentioned the "fake" thing. I owe you a star, but all I have is "you tried."

[escapeplan]

It didn't seem as important as my question.

[badnewsboy]

The "you tried" star is better.

[soundofmagic]

You never stop, do you.

[hawkingbird]

Nathaniel!

[escapeplan]

Hi, Kate.

[badnewsboy]

What's the last thing you remember?

[escapeplan]

Leaving after Cassie died.

I guess I could've been clearer.

[veryproud]

I'm sure one of the neighborhood time travelers will be happy to help provide the information you need.

Do you have a last name?

[escapeplan]

Richards, sir.

The island is contained somehow. I've tried using my magic to get out, or even to just break the barrier, but nothing works.

I've heard that just being brought here creates a separate timeline wherein we're both here and back home. I didn't believe it at first, but when Teddy arrived months after I did and acted like I'd never been gone, I figured it had to be true.

[private to nate]

[soundofmagic]

Um.

[private to nate]

[soundofmagic]

Anyway, what I mean to say is, it's okay. I'm pretty sure we're all just glad you're here. And safe.

[maiditoutalive]

aha i see dave didnt beat me to answering your time related questions but the doctor did
as long as i made it before someone
what kind of luck do you want to know about?

[escapeplan]

Going to this island's origin point, for starters.

[here's a text message, because he's headed to meet him]

[badnewsboy]

Time traveling seems rather popular this time of year.

Private to Nate

[hulkintraining]

Hey man. It's good to see you. I might have jinxed you a bit by mentioning to Kate it would be good to have you around.

...But that's when I thought you'd be able to get us out of here. [Laugh.]

Anyways, you're forgiven. What happened...it was a lot to handle. For any of us.

Private to Teddy

[escapeplan]

Yeah, I guess you could say it was.

... Thanks. I'll keep having to prove that I earned that, but something tells me this place might make it easier in that regard.

Sorry I can't get anybody out. It's a priority, though.

Hello, Nate! I'm the Doctor. It's very nice to meet you!

More questions than answers, I'm afraid. Time travel isn't really possible here, at least the way I do it. The planet is moving through space so quickly that the place the island was in the past is not now within the limits of the force field. I can only make a jump of a few microseconds here.
