You’d tell all the kids amazing stories about how I would sit cooped up in me apartment for days on end and just watch Star Wars.
Yeah…I didn’t like it the first time around, I sure as hell don’t like it now. [Shrugs] But I make do, it’ll be alright.
Pfft. I’m sure George Lucas would have a shrine dedicated to you or something.
[Nods] At least you’re alive, right?

How? It’s all a bit iffy to me.
I remember overheating and going to space to “save the Earth” and then next thing I know, I’m falling out of the sky like some kind of meteorite. I don’t even know how long I was up there.
Hm. Well, I’m glad you’re okay. Don’t know what I’d do without my best friend around. Probably be driven mad, I’d say.
So, uh…new look?

Jessica: My parents? Why? Has Carol talked to you about my parents?
Carol: She thinks that she has got to get past what her parents did to her…but who could? Her parents ruined her while she was still in the womb. They experimented on her, gave her powers, and then raised her to be a little terrorist. She gets major, major brownie points for getting past all of that and becoming the opposite of what she was raised to be. If you think about people and how they never get past how they were raised or the environment they were raised in…just the fact that Jessica has worked so hard to push past al of that to become Spider-Woman…to be an Avengers…This is a major achievement. She’s at the table. I wish she could give herself some credit.

Well… I hope the right time is now, because I asked. Anyway, um…where have you been?
[she nods again] Me? I’ve been away. In London. Picked a helluva time to go didn’t I?
I know, Jess, I know. If anything… We can ask Thor to go out there and look for her.
He can do that? What the hell are we still doing here then?
He can go into space and make portals or whatever. He seems off his game about it all too, so I don’t want to rush him. But I’ll ask.
Well, I guess…after what’s happened, he would be feeling a bit, y’know? But sure, ask him. But only when the time is right.
[Shrugs] What’s up with you? Besides getting hit by the news like a cold bucket of water.
I was in London. I had some things to take care of.
