Maybe going to capeandcowl and maybe finding her "family" there

[brainier]

Dad is a teenager. And evil.

Mom is childless. And oddly tanned.

Uncle Johnny is a teenager. And still pretty much uncle Johnny.

Uncle Ben isn't there to begin with.

So in the end the only family I would have is Franklin, if he goes there as well. And Uncle Doom. I guess I should count Uncle Doom.

Interestingly though, Aunt She Hulk is the same.

What worries me more is the fact I might not count with financing for my work. That would suck.

That does suck.

It also sounds like the current predicament I find myself in, at least a little bit. Mom, Franklin, Uncle Ben, and Uncle Johnny aren't there, but Dad's pulled from a universe where he got Uncle Ben's powers when they first became the Fantastic Four...and we don't exist there.

Alternate realities are such a migraine.

[brainier]

I can't honestly decide which of us is having a harder time sorting this issues. Either everyone is different or either is not there.

You're older than the older me I know.

[epicgeniusgirl]

Sadly, that's how alternate realities work. Things are never exactly the same as they are in their "correct" reality. It's rather confusing. And a bit annoying.

I'm twenty-one. I've taken over Mom's mantle of Invisible Woman when she and Dad retired. Franklin leads the Future Foundation, now. And I have several doctorates, if I might add.

[brainier]

It's highly annoying.

Well duh, that was all expected. We aren't so different then.

[arach_nerd]

And apparently I, or at least a version of me, am chopped liver.

[brainier]

Oh, I forgot about you Uncle Pete.

Last I knew you were the same.

[incywincyhero]

Why thank you, Other Me. I was wondering if I should say something.

... Who am I kidding, this is me we're talking about here. I always say something.

[brainier]

I don't recommend engaging in conversations with yourself, Uncle Pete. You might realize you are nastier than you think.

[incywincyhero]

Nastier? Who, moi? I'm as innocent as a little lamb.

Compared to your Uncle Johnny, anyway.

[professorstarchilde]

I know you don't really know me, Valeria, but I'd make sure you had a home. [After all, in another world they would have been in-laws.]

[brainier]

That's hardly an issue.

But thank you...Auntie Rachel.

[professorstarchilde]

Well I think there are a couple of resident X-Geniuses you could work with, if that helps?

[brainier]

Hmmmmmmmmmmaybe.

All I need is a good sponsor, really.

[professorstarchilde]

That can definitely be arranged.

[brainier]

Good, despite of how good I am with words, a little girl can only go so far by herself.

[professorstarchilde]

I will personally make sure you have what you need. Somehow.

[brainier]

That's unusually altruistic. Do you want something in return? It can be arranged.

[professorstarchilde]

It's not... listen. You're family to me. I know it sounds weird, alternate timelines and all, but you are. You don't have to pay me back, but in the absence of your parents or a version of your family that's old enough and not crazy, I'm going to do everything I can to look out for you.

[dr_thing]

An evil counterpart...?

Fascinating.

[brainier]

Actually more than I care to count, dad.

[dr_thing]

Further evil alternates? Now this I had not heard of.

[tordenen]

Your uncle may be young, but he is a good man.
