Test scene
He did not remember it being this difficult to visit the Fantastic Four. But then again he used to come with his mother and sister and they'd have Lockjaw teleport them directly into the headquarters. Somehow there was a vast difference between that and arriving outside the front entrance. Surely this was the right building? But how did one get an audience?
 
"Goodbye Lockjaw, thanks again. I'll figure this out on my own. It shouldn't be too hard..." Aleron scratches the giant mutt behind the ears and gives him a hug, ignoring the bystanders' staring incredulously at the 800lb dog.
 
He does figure it out...over the course of a half hour. First of all, why were all these people coming and going in not the Fantastic Four he knew but what seemed like ordinary citizens? And just what level did he need to take that fascinating elevator too? And where was the team? 
 
Luckily some of the residents do help out the clearly lost looking young man, they were used to strange visitors in this building. Just most didn't take the front entrance. Though the 71st floor and the F4's reception area wasn't any less confusing. Where was the person who's job it was to be here? Surely they couldn't have taken a more inopportune-"Hello, welcome to the Fantastic Four Headquarters. Please state your name and business."
 
"Oh! I'd almost forgotten all the mechanics you people had around here. I am Aleron and I've come to visit. I do think someone here will remember me even if it has been a few years." The robot receptionist has no expression for him to read and figure out if any of what he's said is clear. "Umm...Aleron Maximoff of the Inhumans. Of Attilan? ...Perhaps there's a file on the royal family?" 

He swears this was easier when he was a kid.

"Ah I was...actually planning on staying for a while in town. 'Cultural studies' as they call it take a while and I wanted a change in scenery. Of course I haven't planned this out too well I'll admit...Still need stuff like where to stay, figure out how these colleges you always see on tv work, and all."

"You could always stay here," Andrea offered. "We have more room than we use."

"Really? That'd be really helpful, thank you!" Perfect, it made things much easier having people he knew around. And the building was very nice. "Was there anything I could help out with in return? I can be quite useful."

"Well..." she ventured, "We could always use a hand when the next super-villain appears."

"Sounds fun. Count me in," he beams. That was pretty much like being on the Fantastic Four! Who knew he'd get the chance? The stories he'd heard from his Mother about her time on the team sounded exciting, now he'd get to see what it was like. At least a little bit.

"Excellent" Andrea replied. "And with any luck, you will not be eaten by one of the Mole Man's monsters."

A beat.

"That was a joke."

"Of course," he chuckled. "Most Inhumans cause indigestion."

"As Mr. Grimm would say, monsters are people too."

Andrea appeared to consider this. "But eating people is also bad."

"Mr. Grimm isn't a monster," he insisted. There were plenty of Inhumans who's physical features had been drastically altered by the mists, and he saw Mr. Grimm in the same light as them. Certainly not a monster.

"And I wouldn't appreciate someone trying to eat me even if I wouldn't be appetizing."

"Then we will try not to let anything eat you," Andrea assured him. "Though we would prefer you sign a waiver first."

She was probably joking.

"Has anything ever eaten you?" It couldn't hurt to find out how frequently these things happened.

"A shame," Andrea said, but she was smiling.

"Do not worry. That kind of danger is rare, and you will have the rest of us looking out for you."

"It is. Don't worry, I can handle myself," he smiles as the gravitational force acting on Andrea significantly lessens so that she hovers above the ground.

Andrea giggled at the sudden rising. Her own propulsion systems relied primarily on anti-gravity devices adopted from technology found in Aaron Stack, the Machine Man, and she could recognize the signs.

"Very impressive," she said.

"At least you don't have to worry if your systems break down. Or that Fantastic Four car. Is that still around?" He gradually stops the effect to gently let her down.

"There are still Fantasti-Cars," Andrea assured him. "Though we are probably due to upgrade some of them soon."

"Do you use them at all? I'd guess not everyone on your team would need them though."
