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.

"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."

"I'm glad to hear that. She was TJ's mother on the old team, so I got to hear a lot of good things about that world's Wanda."

"Have you met any of the Dr. Stranges out there?" Quinn asked curious about other versions of his master.

She laughs, then stifles herself. "Yeah, the first world we went to. I didn't meet him, but the others... well, he left a lasting impression on them. Something about illicit substances, functional hermaphrodites and ordering a goat."
She quiets then. "And then another who sacrificed himself to help save his world."

Quinn smiled. "They both sound like him," he said. "It's a little weird, but I miss him more than my parents."

"I can understand that. Magic is an intense study. Thor's kid put an amazing amount of time into it. You'd have to have ended up close to him. Other than that, how are you holding up?"

Quinn nodded. "I spent nine months a year with him for the past fifteen years." Quinn shrugged. "I don't know, really. This is all still new to me, so it's like going on some adventure. I'm sure the reality of it all will hit me at some point."

"I hope it doesn't. I keep hoping we can actually have some people sent back home, and have all this just be a memory. I also hope this is the worst you guys ever have to deal with."

"You know what they say. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst or something like that." Then something struck him. "I have some extra cash if you want it for anything. I just picked up a few changes of clothes."

"I appreciate that. Spider was always good about trying to make sure people had a few of the comforts of home, or at least a decent hotel when that was possible. I usually prefer to live pretty simply, especially since we get to take our weapons and basic gear along, but anything else, if its not on you at the time we jump out, it gets left behind. So if you ever end up with something you're really attached to, keep it with you."
She considers. "That said, we could use real first aid kits, and after all we've been through in Latveria, I imagine people could use something that's not scavenged rations for breakfast."

"I kind of gathered that when I was plucked out of my reality," he said. "I bought a knapsack to carry."

He nodded. "I can go get those while we're waiting for Bucky. Want to go with me?"

"I could, though I should probably work on this. Its a pain of a project though. The newspapers here aren't very helpful."

"Why don't you take a short break and come with me? There is such a thing as working too much and too hard."
