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.

"When we started, we had someone from a future timeline with a personal assistant that could do a lot of the research wherever we were. If anyone has the technological knowledge to do something similar so we can get more information quickly, that was awfully helpful. Otherwise, on worlds where the goals seem to give us some time, and we aren't immediately under attack, the usual routine we got into was grabbing a newspaper to check for date, location and possible stories related to our mission. A source of money, when possible, is also good... and helps with clothes that will let us fit in wherever we're at. So everyone knows, anything that you jumped into the desert with is what the Timebroker deems your normal gear. That will go with you from world to world, no matter where you leave it. Anything else - if its not on you when we jump, it won't go with you. So if you gain something you want to keep, keep it with you if you can. Also means we need to figure out money and changes of clothes and things often. Third thing is figuring out points we can connect to. In some worlds, people you know of as the good guys at home will be villains, and vice versa. Until we find points of reference, don't ever assume anything. Right now, we know this world has a Spider-Man and a Ben Grimm... and apparently they're associated with the UCWF, but not much else. Finding out if we have any potential allies, or if Kingpin is the president... things like that, can be useful. Sorry for the information dump, but last world didn't give us a lot of time for small talk. I know I'm younger than a lot of you, but I've also been doing this for a couple years now... other suggestions are welcome."

"Whichever people feel they're best suited to do. We've usually tried to keep people in groups of two or more til we get our bearings. If the tech types are up to it, we could also use communicators. If anyone has money on them, or a reasonable way of getting it, food and a cheap hotel room or something so we have a place to work out of wouldn't hurt. I know I could use a shower and about a dozen pizzas after that last mission."

	"Kevin and I will work on information and I have an idea of how to get some cash," Natasha said. She was counting on Tony Starks being similar and hoping that she could raid a few accounts. Worst comes to worse, there's always breaking into his place and raiding a safe or two. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sarah isn't sure she should trust the Black Widow's idea of 'getting some cash' to be entirely kosher, but sometimes saving worlds required some trust. "Ok. Dani, you've been in on at least one mission now, and can fit in pretty quickly. Why don't you and Lester try and find us a newspaper and get a feel for our surroundings... we're going to need food soon, and a room would be good so we can rest, clean up, change clothes if we need to fit in, and plan. Dane and I both stand out, and have unusual weapons that require specialized bags to conceal, so we're probably best staying out of the spotlight until we can get gym bags and new clothes. We can keep an eye on the arena, and if the coast is reasonably clear, maybe I can do some aerial recon. Everyone good with those assignments?"

	"This sounds agreeable." Dane says. He's all for doing some recon about this area, and finding out what the hell they need to do here. He casts an eye over at Sarah now, wondering if she can fly or if she has a horse like Strider. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Sounds as good as any to me,” Bullseye said. He took off the mask he was wearing since this would probably require more blending in than anything. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dani nodded. "Got it boss. Let's go, Lester." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Kevin will nod and follow. (Reply to this)(Parent)
