Last time she saw artwork was down on the city levels. Now Kate was jogging around where she could in between being schlooped to different locations by the ship. This time she was around one of the top levels, and found herself in the art hall after jogging along the lit up pusticles leading the way to it.

She came to a stop, and stared around. These paintings were seriously creepy, and what's with the sculpture?

OOC: ATTENTION: For Kate, Nathan and Xander's EPs, if it's on the first page, or even if it isn't, it's OPEN to any and all tags. Time doesn't matter. They all need to meet more people.)

Scorpius is also taking in the sights. Much can be discerned about a species' psychology if you understand their art.

But, of course, much of this seems to be gathered from different worlds.

He glances at the human present, but does not greet her.

All right, dress-wise, not that weird in comparison with people at home. But black leather? That doesn't bode well usually. And whoever he was, there was an air of creepiness about him.

She glanced back at him, and then walked closer to a painting.

"Are you here to take in the artistic value of this location? Or are you simply lost?"

Well, what do you know? He speaks!

Astounding!

"The first, and no, I was on the tour with Cybil so I knew this was here. Just comparing it with the statues I came across in the city."

He nods. "To what end?"

He seems to speak in a British accent. What's up with that?

She's from New York, a lot of people sound like they're from somewhere else. So the accent was noticed, but she didn't dwell on it.

"Well, there were more works from Earth down there. And the statues had switches. This sculpture doesn't seem to though." She went to stand closer, and it swirled to form one of her in her Hawkeye costume, and her teammates standing heroic together.

"...What. All right, is this the ship's doing?"

"Interesting clothing. I don't believe most on Earth wear such clothing..."

Mixed emotions flickered across her face as she stared back at the sculpture. She missed her friends, her home, and this just reminded her more of it.

"Yeah, on mine? Some do."

"I see. Is it simply a fashion choice, or does it represent something... else?"

The sculpture now showed her firing a bow, still in costume.

Kate glanced back at him, "Something else. Guessing they don't have superheroes where you come from."

He shakes his head. "I'm afraid that term doesn't translate. What are they?"

"People who fight crime and saves lives undercover in a costume. A lot have powers, but it's not a requirement." And shouldn't be in her opinion even though sometimes she got flak for lacking them. Even with all of her fighting skills.

"Separate from the police? You seem to have a great deal of crime."

"That and where I come from, sometimes it's too much for the police. They can't deal with villains with powers. That's where we come in. And not just crime, somebody's looking to take over a country or the world, or destroy it, that's also what heroes deal with."

He shrugs. "It sounds as though your Earth could benefit from the Peacekeepers even more than the Earth of my universe."

Kate remarked, "We do fine, and do you mean the ones from the UN? They can't do much really."

He smiles. "No, child, I meant the Peacekeepers, not some shallow representation you might have developed with your United Nations. We keep the peace for many planets and empires."

"Not my planet. Not yet. They're nothing like the Skrulls or Kree I hope?"

"Their names are meaningless to me. We protect people from threats such as the Scarren and the Nebari, and from criminal elements within society."

Long look back, "All right, might be different worlds, or could you Wiki that for me since I've never heard of any of those alien races?"

He steps a little closer.

"The Scarren, when they find Earth, will rape every resource they can. They will kidnap humans and rape them for genetic experimentations, to see if humans can add any genetic advantages to their own race. Then they will exterminate or enslave whatever remains alive. Their technology is far superior to anything humanity currently possesses, and they are physically superior in just about every way." It's clear he doesn't think much of the Scarren.

"They outnumber your kind by hundreds of billions. And they cannot be bargained with -- any bargain would be seen as a sign of weakness."

His eyes narrow. "When they find Earth. Not if. If they exist in your world, they will find Earth someday."

Kate held her ground, and folded her arms in front of her. Keeping herself from twitching at his repeated use of one particular word, and getting more annoyed with him by the second.

"So, more like the Skrulls. Sound like a handful, but people from my Earth's dealt with threats like that before. And won. Obviously yours doesn't have Avengers in it."

"I doubt you understand the threat the Scarrens truly represent. And for your sake, I hope you never do."

"No, I don't think you understand what my world is like. I mean, there's been threats like Galactus, Ultron, Kang the Conquerer (but he's dead now), and I fought the Skrulls myself. Seen what they're like. Threats like these Scarrens are definitely big league, and I'm sure their tech's impressive but it can be used against them too."
