[Billy's a little too close to the camera to start, edging back and flashing an uncertain smile, offering a small wave before he seems to think maybe that's a little too lame.]

Hey- um...I'm new here, I guess? I'm Billy. I don't really-...

[He breaks off with a frown.]

My parents are gonna be really worried about me, so if anyone knows how to get back home? I know we're supposed to help, but I really need to get back to my family.

[Well now she feels comfortable answering. She nods and smiles.]

Yes, Emperor Dorrek, and his husband Prince-Consort William."

[dorkasaurus_rex]

[That earns a faint flush, introducing a concept that wasn't really touched on in Westview, but one that makes Billy's head tilt a bit curious. He's too shy to press more though, nodding like that was just a very obvious fact.]

Dorrek's kind of a weird name.

[kree_soldieress]

It is traditional, tne name of the kings and Emperors of the Skrull. But he was known on Earth as Teddy.

[dorkasaurus_rex]

Mm.

[He smiles a little, thinking that's a much better name.]

What's a Skrull?

[kree_soldieress]

They are an old species in space. They are green, with pointed ears and clefts in their chins. They shape shift. Except he doesn't take after all of his people as well, as he is also half Kree like I am.

[dorkasaurus_rex]

Oh, you're a Kree? I though you were maybe a synthezoid like Dad.

[kree_soldieress]

[Billy. Tommy. Synthezoid. Oh. Well, Billy just gained a guardian.]

Your father is Vision, of the Avengers.

[dorkasaurus_rex]

[And to throw a confusing wrench in all of it-]

What's an Avenger?

[kree_soldieress]

Ah, I see. My conclusion may well be incorrect then. But Carol has also told me of the concept of 'secret identities' among human heroes.

[dorkasaurus_rex]

My dad is Vision, but he works with computers...

[kree_soldieress]

Yes, that makes sense. A reasonable disguise for a sentient machine. One should applaud his creative decisions.

[This is very weird though. Good thing she believes in the multiverse.]

Your father, William, is a very strong hero, and he saves lives. I have met him once. He is honorable.

[dorkasaurus_rex]

He is?

[Billy knew his parents were strong, and amazing people, but it still seemed surprising to him that they were known as heroes.]

Were you in Westview?

[kree_soldieress]

He very much is.

[The boy does not know? Well, now he can know, and have hope that his father will find him.]

What is Westview?
