With Great Power Comes... Shiny Faux Gold Belts, pt. 1
The Exiles disappear from the asteroid in the midst of massed armadas after the fight with Thanos, down two of their number. After the grandeur of space and sweeping cosmic nature of their last mission, its kind of a shock to the system to end up in a dusty parking lot outside a massive arena. Currently the place is empty, though signboards flash up some of the current events planned to take place there in the near future.
Just as pressing, of course, there's a couple new faces in their midst.

Danielle looked at her surroundings. Also, that there were two people with them that weren't there last time.

"When did we get new people?"

"The Tallus said that Bucky's home was resolved... he may have gotten to go home. Roxanne... is complicated. She died, when the gems resurrected everyone, she was with Johnny and no longer the Rider. So we get replacements. I just hope they're happy, wherever they are, and maybe the rest of us will get to go home someday. The Tallus also says our mission here is 'Go for the gold.'"

"I just love vague directions," Natasha said as she removed her armor. She needed a shower in the worst way.

Dane is immediately wary of the new faces before them. The only person he knows is the man he met while with the Timebroker. Otherwise, the red haired woman looks vaguely familiar.

He removes his helmet and looks to each of the women in turn. He's got a few days of stubble on his face, but his gear is mostly intact.

"I am Dane Whitman, also called the Black Knight. I believe I am to be working with all of you to resolve the issues plaguing our homes?" he asks.

Bullseye took a quick look around at where he had landed. Some of the faces did look familiar to him but he couldn’t place them.

“I’m Lester, you can call me Bullseye if you want,” he says.

After the others have left, Sarah looks around to make sure the lot really is deserted, then lifts off into the air, answering Dane's earlier question, getting a view from a little higher up.

"I'm not sure how much recon is really going to help here, but knowing the lay of the land can be useful. I can tell we're near a major city. Nothing I recognize well enough to say where though, which really only means we're probably not in the northeast."

"You're right. I'd rather know where our best chances at safety and escape are ahead of time rather than seeking them blindly when we're on the run." he agrees.

"You seem to be the leader of this band, Sarah. What is your sense of those you travel with, minus myself and Lester who have just joined you. Have you been through many campaigns with them?" he asks.

"I'm mostly the leader because I've been doing this the longest, and was here when everyone else showed up. I've been doing this Exiles' Road thing for... four years now, or somewhere close. On our last mission we lost the only two other people with more than a few weeks' experience, though some of the newcomers have years of experience as heroes." she replies honestly. "We haven't had any kind of official election of leader... I was just here when they started. If people want to be more proper, that's fine. Our original group, we more or less agreed to put everything to a vote."

She glances around, determining pretty quickly she's not going to see anything recognizable from higher up, and floats back to the ground.

"I trust Dani. I know her from a world I spent almost a year in, she's a good person, but hasn't had a lot of experience in the field. Kevin seems like he's trying to be a good guy, but he's had some troubles. Black Widow... I've known a couple versions of her. They're usually on the good guys' side... mostly. But I'm not sure I'd always trust that. Spy and foreign agent. I worked a little with Dani in her native reality. Widow and Kevin, this is only my second campaign with them. But I'm also used to seeing this team change a lot and getting used to new people coming in."

Dane nods as he listens to Sarah's assessments of their teammates. He knows no one here, but that will have to change sooner, rather than later, especially if he's with these people for any significant length of time.

"Thank you for the information, Sarah." Dane says as she lowers them back to the ground.

"What do you think of the Timebroker? He makes good muffins, but he is far too enigmatic for my tastes. What is your opinion of him?" Dane asks.

Lester didn't look so bad, but Dani looked like she'd been through hell. While she didn't have any cuts or bruises, her clothes were torn, and she smelled like she could use a really long shower.

"So..." she turned to Lester, "Let's go find this newsstand."

Checking out the internet was, between the two of them, ridiculously easy and done at as they went along.

"Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation?" Kev raised an eyebrow. "Sport in America really does get weird."

Kev raises an eyebrow. Sport wasn't his thing in general, but curling at least had strategy. You even could do some fun maths with it.

"Guess it must make more sense to the proper hero set. Speaking of which, Spider-Man really is quite the player, isn' he? I guess he turned out so good at it he never went into heroing. Not seeing about anything outside the Entertainment industry."

"I suppose he is," Tasha said. "He was in my world as well. I had a few run-ins with him. It's strange thinking about him not being in the hero business. He has done quite a bit of good. I can't imagine what would be different because he didn't go into crime fighting."

"I suppose I should see if I can find some of Tony's accounts and see if I can get us some cash. Otherwise, we'll need to break into his place and crack a safe."

Fifteen minutes later they walked into the lobby of the building where Tony's penthouse was located. Natasha walked up to the desk and gave the man a smile. "Miss Romanoff," he said.

Natasha smiled and hit him with a low level blast of her Widow's Bite. She grabbed his keys and keycard and headed for the elevator.

"Men are easily distracted," she commented.

Sarah wasn't sure where Tasha came up with this kind of money, but just like when Spider got them a luxury hotel for one stopover, she's learned not to ask. Til they prove otherwise, she'll just assume her new teammates are worth trusting.
The Exiles are set up in a pair of nice rooms, one for the guys, one for the girls with a door between them. They skipped the restaurant, and went straight to room service so everyone who was in on fighting Thanos-zombies can get a shower and eat that much sooner.

As soon as everyone is cleaned up a little, weapons are stowed in the new bags, and otherwise they've made sure that everyone could at least pass for normal walking down the street, Sarah gathers the team together in one of the rooms. Sleep will have to wait.

"Ok, first things first. When we hit worlds that at least look fairly normal, if there's no sense of urgency, everyone can assume they'll keep the same jobs. We have a good store of money now - Tasha, or someone, keep it on your person at all times, or make sure someone is holding it. If we jump worlds, anything not with us and not part of our standard equipment won't make the jump. I've been to worlds where Magneto had his own money, where Reed Richards did, or money was useless... we'll need to make sure we have the right kind of currency and all before trying to spend any cash, but its still good to have, since most worlds seem to have some things in common."

She glances at the others. "Ok, that aside... hope everyone is enjoying the hot meal and clean room... we won't usually get this kind of luxury, or time to work out our mission... but its nice when we do. Tasha, between the internet and your digging around, what can you tell us about the UCWF, since the Tallus has basically confirmed our mission has something to do with it."

"Looks like in this world, Spider-Man did so well at his first wrestling gig that he stuck with it and never went into heroing at all, much less started the Spider Squad like in proper worlds. The main paradigm of the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation seems to be tag teams. His partner's Ben Grimm. You know, little Frank Richards's godfather." Kev, classifying most American superheroes by their relationship to your mother's pediatric patients is kind of weird.

Dane listens to the information attentively, while cleaning his armor. He's showered, dressed in new clothing (with absolutely no protection, mind you), and tries to make sense of this wrestling business.

"So these...wrestlers, fight matches in teams, rather than singularly? Hm. That's no way to assess who is a worthy combatant who needs more training." he grumbles.

"So, if the Tallus is telling us about this, must we go their paymasters as a team and challenge them?" Dane asks, looking around the room.

"I could be wrong, but I think this is about entertainment as much as assessing skill. Tag teams, whatever that is, would let you mix people with different abilities and specialties... like, say, Ben Grimm and Spider-Man. Ben is a whole lot stronger and tougher, but Spider-Man, once he gets moving, is almost impossible to lay a finger on." She's fought one, and been teammates with another.

"Tasha, Kev, did you get any information on how people would join the UCWF, or what their requirements are? The Tallus seems to be indicating that that's what at least some of us need to do."
