Meet-n-Greet

After being released from stasis, having the slime removed from their bodies and clothed in the creepy, pulsing leaf-suit that everyone wore, and being taken to the Weapons & Possessions lockers to collect their belongings, the new arrivals would find themselves standing in the Observation Deck. Round windows lined the fleshy walls, revealing the bright display of lights that was inter-dimensional travel. They would also discover that there were people--members of the command staff and crew that had woken earlier--waiting for them.

"If you're going to insist on using curses, I can one-up all of them," Wednesday says implacably.

"I think you may want to speak to Brainiac Five—either, there are two of them—or one of the other members of our engineering staff. I'm certain one of them would be able to remove that... thing."

"Yeah, whatever." God dammit, everyone in this fucking prison was useless.

...what the hell kind of prison was even run like this anyway?

"I swear to god my fucking lawyer better get me the hell out of this shithole soon," he muttered as he walked away from Wednesday.

"I don't think you are where you think you are," Wednesday pipes up as Julian moves away from him.

That got him to pause, at least.

"What, this isn't the infamous '42'?"

"Forty-what?" Wednesday asks.

He genuinely has no idea.

"42-- The prison built in an alternate dimension by those 'heroes', the fucking Avengers--" he said their name as if it made him want to puke, which nearly made him do, "--which is used as a dumping ground to exile and house every superhuman who doesn't want to be enslaved by the United States government. That ring a bell?"

"Not even a little bit," the old man says with a shrug.

...

"Right." Uh huh. Yeah. Sure.

"Ok, Methuselah, I'll humor you. If this isn't 42 then where am I?"

"An interuniversal starship headed to locations unknown," Wednesday offers.
telekinetic_badass: (Yeah Right)

Julian simply looked at Wednesday for a moment.

That answer was completely ridiculous, yet entirely plausible, particularly considering his connection to the X-Men.

"...I have no idea whether you're bullshitting or not."

Seriously, he didn't.

"You're good."

Wednesday smiles placidly. "When you get to my age, you pick up a few things." Something in his tone suggests 'my age' may be more than it looks.

He points. "But take a look out the windows, anyway."

"Sure thing, Methuselah. I'll do that."

Julian backed away from Weds, giving him a bit of a look as he left.

Wherever he was, this should be interesting.
