Some Downtime (While Bucky is talking to Tasha)
Quinn was enjoying the few moments of downtime they seemed to have been blessed with by spending it out in Moscow. While he wasn't a mutant, he could pass himself off as one if needed. Only a telepath or a genetic scan would prove he wasn't one. First order of business was getting some cash. That meant a little transmutating of some stones into rubles. He was not above using magic for his own benefit.

With money in hand he set out and found the closest bar. Beer would have been nice, but the bar apparently only had watered down crap and Quinn was a beer snob. He only drank good beer and what the bar had was definitely not good beer. The burger was good and so was the vodka.

Once he was done eating, he headed for the closest clothing store and bought himself two new sets of clothes and a bag to carry them in. No way was he going to be stuck wearing the same outfit as they hopped from dimension to dimension. He would have bought a few pairs of shoes, but they were bulky and a pain to carry. His current ones were okay for now.

He headed back to the hotel.

Sarah has procured a map of the world and a couple of pencils. She has it stretched out on a countertop, and is studying it intently, having made a few marks here and there.

Quinn spotted Sarah and walked over. He looked at the map. "Planning a vacation, luv?" he joked.

"No, marking locations where what few papers I could get my hands on mention any recognizeable names. Few and far between. But I'm finding some threads. Also marking possible important locations for people we know never showed up in this world."

"I was joking," he said and looked at the map. Then he looked over at her. "How are you holding up?"

"I've done this before. For a year. And before that, I led a group of teenagers for a year in a guerilla war against giant mutant killing robots. I'm not enjoying being dragged back to all this, but I'll be fine."

"I wasn't asking how you will be, I asked how you're holding up. How you're doing now," Quinn said.

"I'm holding up fine. Not happy with the situation, but this isn't nearly the worst I've been through. You?"

"I'm glad to hear that," he said and studied the map. "Blink was pretty upset about losing people she cared about and I thought I'd check on people."

"I appreciate that. Bucky will be fine... he's been through a lot before, including this. And while we were somewhat close with our former team, it wasn't the same as Blink's, from the sound of it. Our old group was only just starting to gel and use any kind of teamwork. Roxanne... I was worried about before, still am. She wasn't really a hero when things started, and being the Rider is hard on all of its hosts."

He noticed she mentioned everyone else but herself. Though she did give him new insight into his other teammates. That could be useful. He nodded. "Good to know. I know we've all left people behind and some don't handle it well. I just wanted to make sure no one was having major problems."

"Roxanne came into things pretty late. She's doing better than she did at first, but its still an impossible situation for her. I don't know Joe at all, and Blink... I've talked to once. Unlike most of the people I've met in this situation, she doesn't seem too upset one way or another over her home universe, more her teammates."

Quinn shrugged. "Maybe it wasn't a nice place." They hadn't had much of a chance to talk to each other since being thrown into this. "What about you? What's your story?"

She shrugs. "From what I've heard, her world wasn't nice at all. And in a nutshell, I was born in a very nice place, sort of. Cosmic entity pulls a couple dozen heroes and villains off of Earth and pits them in a massive game to help the entity study the nature of desire. The war ends with everyone stuck on the planet he created for the contest in some unknown region of space. Heroes and villains end up making peace and settling on Battleworld. So me and a handful of other kids grow up surrounded basically by former super heroes and super villains. Fifteen years later, the son of Doctor Doom gathers a few allies from among the kids and older villains and tries to take over. We stop him, and I discover I can use Thor's hammer in the process. Shortly after that, Dr. Banner finds a way home, but the Watcher shows up and warns the heroes not to return. So five of us teenagers go back instead to find out that most of the other heroes have been killed by Sentinels, and at least America is run by anti-mutant forces, and Apocalypse rules a fair bit of the rest. I spent a year there, then my first run with the Exiles. How about you?"

"Then it seems natural she's more upset about teammates than her world," Quinn pointed out. "Who would miss a not so nice place?" He shrugged. "I've heard of Battleworld. Kurt would tell me stories of his adventures with the X-Men when he'd visit my parents." He smiled at the memories. "I always looked forward to his visits. It sounds like you got the good and the bad." He tilted his head. "First run with the Exiles? This is the second time you're doing this?"

"Yeah, it makes sense in her case. And, apparently, her world is still there, at the least. So its understandable. And yeah... I was with a team with a future version of Spider Man, a version of Mystique from a world where basically Magneto won and ruled everything, Morph - a shapshifting comedian, TJ - aka Nocturne, a daughter of Nightcrawler from her world, and then Bucky and Roxanne. We worked together for about a year. Then I got dropped off in a relatively normal world on a timeline similar to my own for about a year, then got brought back for this time around."

"So you had a year off before getting dragged back in," he said. That had to suck. Thinking that you were done and then being pulled back in. "My parents talked of other worlds and the multiverse and how the worlds were all different from each other."

"That's just it. I never assumed I was done. I wasn't sent back to my world. As far as I knew, I had failed, and trillions of lives had ended because of it. I spent the first few months searching for my teammates. In some ways, yes, it sucked. It was a nice world. But I'm here for a reason - saving my universe, and hopefully making some others better. In some ways, it was kind of a relief, from that perspective."

A blind person would be able to tell she was a Rogers by the way she talked. It was all about the greater good and all. Always. Quinn wasn't surprised in the least.

"I hope one day you'll get to go home," he said, not really sure of what to say. It was a weird situation for all of them.

"How do you think Bucky's doing?" Time for a subject change.

"Bucky is a professional, and from a world where the Avengers were basically all he had. As soon as he showed up, he fell right into trying to find his niche on the team. I'm not even entirely sure he'd want to go back to his world if given the choice between returning to that situation, and those people, or continuing the work we're doing."

"That's good to know, but I was talking about his current task," Quinn said with a slight smile.

"I think he'll find a way to succeed, provided that the Wanda here is like the one he knew. If not, then we're going to have a very interesting time of this."

Quinn nodded. "The Scarlet Witch can be a formidable opponent according to my master. He often spoke of her and her abilities."

"She is. This will hopefully be a first for me. Every world I've been to, she was dead, or an enemy."

Quinn nodded. "She was an Avenger at one point in my world."

"Same on mine. Most people spoke of her fondly. She was among those killed by the sentinels during the Secret Wars. In other worlds, I've known her as a terrorist, an insane vampire and a mob princess."
