Worlds Apart
Since arriving in this dimension Emily had found herself pulled all over the place. First into the conflict at SHIELD, then Nightingale's revelation and Anya's suspension, and Halloween....

For the first time today she felt that she had some time to sit down, breathe, and move ahead with two things she really needed to do.

Finding some work so she could feel productive and earn some money, and researching a little about what her family in this world was like.

The work part was rather difficult, really. Emily was used to having a reputation in translation circles - being fluent in as many languages as you were years old would do that - but here she was all but unknown and she had spent the morning sprawled in the living room on a borrowed mansion laptop firing off sample translation pages to about two dozen potential jobs.

The research - which she was now in the middle of - was easier and rather more interesting.

"Gamma radiation?" she muttered, sipping on her mug of tea. "Radiation shouldn't work like that..."

ooc: open thread for people to chitchat with Emily about her world and theirs and the differences and samenesses - a sort of 'get to know' you thread. feel free to ping in with anybody and to join existing 'conversations' with a character. :)

Sammy was passing through to Hydrobase. Her mother had made it clear that the only way she would consider letting her keep her clearance at S.H.I.E.L.D. was if she also began therapy with Doc Samson. It could have been worse, but since Dad and Dum Dum had also been brainwashed, Mom was in charge and Dad was agreeing with her. For all Sammy knew, Dad might be having a session or two himself with Samson.

She spotted Emily and paused to consider if she might interrupt her muttering. She was still a stranger to Sammy and they hadn't exactly met under ideal circumstances.

"Hello."

	James wandered in. He just finished school for the day and needed the daily required time playing video games. Something fun was required before he started his homework. He didn't like school or homework, but he did his best because Mom and Tony expected it. "Hey", he said as he entered the room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Emily looked up from her reading at the two newcomers to the room, smiling shyly. "Oh hi." She squinted at each, then pointed to them in turn. "James and Sammy, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-11-03 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah." Sammy moved in to flop down on a seat. "You're not looking happy at the file you're reading." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-11-03 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah," James said as he went over near the large screen tv. "Mind if I play a video game?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	emmysmash 2009-11-03 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh it's just... weird. I looked up my dad in this universe and all SHEILD's information on him is so bizarre compared to my world back home." Emily shrugged, sipping her tea again. "This stuff about the radiation is bizarre." She shook her head at James, smiling. "Not at all, go ahead. I can read through a tornado siren." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That won't be all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s information. They don't share everything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course they don't. But that's why we have An...had Anya." James frowned. "So the Hulk wasn't created by radiation in your world? He was in mine and from what the Avengers say, he was in this one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Emily shook her head.

"The Hulks in my world were changed by the seventh re-engineering of the super soldier serum that created Captain America in the 1940's." she explained, sifting through the files again with a flick of her finger.

"They called it the gamma serum. The initial unstable version made my mother into the first hulk, and then my father changed himself a few months later with a stabilized version, so his transformation between the two states is more controlled. I'm the only born Hulk in the world. It's just us three. Well and Archie but I don't know if he counts."

She smiled sheepishly. "Uhm, Archie is our dog."

	Sammy didn't bother telling James that Nick Fury had files more extensive than the ones Anya would have been able to access. It was poker strategy. You didn't let anybody know your hold card but let them think what they did know was all you had. "Pets always count," Sammy said with an encouraging smile. "They're part of the family."

	"Dr. Banner was a crotchety old man in my world. Tony said he became the Hulk because of gamma radiation and when he gets mad he turns into the Hulk. The Hulk is uncontrollable and defeated Ultron for us. Then he went away with Betty." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	emmysmash 2009-11-04 12:14 am UTC (link)
	"Betty is the uncontrollable one where I come from." Emily said seriously. "She once picked up an aircraft carrier and threw it at a satellite. Aunt Toni is STILL making amends to NASA for us." She paused. "Hey, that's right, Toni Stark is a man in this universe isn't she?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-11-04 12:17 am UTC (link)
	"Uh...yeah. Tony Stark is a man." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-11-04 12:20 am UTC (link)
	"I hope so. He's married to my mom, well this world's version of my mom." Then it sunk in. "Tony? A girl?" James started chuckling. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	emmysmash 2009-11-04 12:30 am UTC (link)
	"Natasha Antoinette Stark." Emily smirked, looking at James with a playful grin on her face. "In my universe? Toni's married to your DAD." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-11-04 12:32 am UTC (link)
	"Get them all together, and it's like one big scandalous pot of 'don't ask, don't tell." Sammy shook her head over it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-11-04 12:41 am UTC (link)
	"Something like that," James said. "In this world he's married to the Black Widow and they have Anya." James smiled. "Us dimensionally challenged throw wrenches in things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	emmysmash 2009-11-04 12:46 am UTC (link)
	"Captain America and Iron Woman have a son named James in my world actually." Emily said thoughtfully. "But he's older than me and looks more like his dad." She turned to Sammy. "We have a Sam Fury too, but he's Samuel Fury. He's also African American, actually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-11-04 12:50 am UTC (link)
	Sammy chuckled. "Now that I would love to see. Mom's and Dad's reactions would be great. I'd especially love to see Qamar call for Sam and that one answer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-11-04 01:05 am UTC (link)
	James laughed. "Yeah. That'd be funny to see." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	emmysmash 2009-11-04 01:47 am UTC (link)
	Emily giggled. "My Sam startles people at first usually but he's a big teddy bear if you treat him kindly. Also you have to be nice to his husband or he'll probably use his time magic just to throttle you for a little longer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-11-04 02:09 am UTC (link)
	"Time...magic? Sam Fury manipulates time?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-11-04 02:12 am UTC (link)
	"Sounds like what you can do, Sammy," James pointed out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Not quite. It's a magic thing from his mom's side of the family. Like a really specific set of spells he can cast on himself and people close to him. Speed up, slow down, or stop. And he's got an internal clock like a fine swiss watch."

Emily frowns seriously.

"God help you if he comes to your house and your DVD player flashes 12:00 cause you can't set it. That'll drive him bonkers."

	"That's still pretty close. I can stop time for myself and anybody I'm touching for a minute or two, but still. What are the odds of two Sam Furys who play with time?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-11-04 02:22 am UTC (link)
	"Infinite number of universes, I'd say the chances are pretty good." See? James did pay attention to things other than video games once and awhile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	emmysmash 2009-11-04 02:31 am UTC (link)
	"And, well, a lot about our worlds is very very similar so it sort of makes sense. I'm sure that is really spooky for you though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-11-04 02:45 am UTC (link)
	"There's similar, and then there's spooky. Sam Fury is a black man in your world. I'm as far from that as you can get." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-11-04 02:47 am UTC (link)
	"It's not that spooky." James shrugged. "Anyone want to play?" He held up a game controller. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	emmysmash 2009-11-10 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	Emily raised a brow. "Sure, what's the game?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-11-12 12:22 am UTC (link)
	"Thor's Army". James smiled. "My sister made it for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)
