Re: Sarah, Gwenny and Dorrek/Valentine
Sarah nods. "Good to know. I'm familiar, so far, with about half a dozen different takes on 'junior Avengers', including my own original group. Good to know you have some training. In any case, I should also state the lesson we've learned the hard way. Don't assume anything. Any world may have different factors at play. Anyone - anyone could be a villain, even if they're a hero in your reality, or vice versa. Its nice to find points of familiarity, but don't count on it.

Second thing, also learned the hard way. Some of the worlds out there are horrible. Ruled by super villains, run by villains who were friends in your world... run by vampires who have killed or enslaved most of the human population. It is really nice to get worlds where we can grab hotel rooms with beds, eat decent food, research... but do not ever count on it. We've been attacked right out of the gate. I've been arrested by Reed Richards' science council..." she pauses, looking to Gwenny to explain. "Reed Richards typically being a major hero, about fifty years in your future. Anyway, be prepared, and don't count on creature comforts, and enjoy the easier worlds where you can. We don't get a lot of luxury, comfort or familiarity. And if you need to talk - at least I'm willing to listen.

Third - try and keep arguments with teammates to a minimum. We don't get to choose our team, and we're stuck with each other. In fact, we're all the 'others' any of us can count on. Disagreements, personality conflicts, objecting to someone else's views or actions are inevitable. If something is bad enough, I'd prefer we try and deal with it as a team. We are in this together, and no one can count on going home any time soon.

Fourth, you will not bring along anything to the next world that isn't either on you, or considered part of your 'normal' gear. Mjolnir and the shield have jumped with me even when I'm not wielding them when we disappear from a world. Other things haven't. If something is important to you, keep it on you at all times or it may get left behind.

Finally - S.O.P. when we hit a new world where we're not attacked right away, and things appear normal-ish -- someone works on getting a current newspaper so we can get the dates and current events. Someone works on immediate needs and resources - food, lodging, things like that. I typically stay out of the way, as I'm pretty conspicuous, and try and fill in any newcomers.

Again, questions?"
