Hello, Mundane.

I… really appreciate the attention you have given me so far. It is strange, coming to life in so many different fashions, but I do not think I can complain.

If I go to this… City, do you think the people there will like me? I am not human like them – I am metallic, a robot created through love, but I have feelings! My only desire is to help those there, anyone who will take it.

Perhaps the Avengers would not mind. I know my databases may be a bit out of date, but I will do the best that I can, if they would allow it.

… Thank you again, for the chance to prove myself.

W-well, I'm. From this, and from there, I don't think the human thing is... That much of an issue? So. Sure, I'm sure people will like you, ma'am. Ma'am?Er. And from what I've seen the Avengers are- They're pretty inclusive, and.

You are correct; I am a female.

I hope that I will be given another chance with them. I was offered the opportunity to become an Avenger but it never came to pass. I had then died before it ever could.

Wh- No, that's n- Sometimes ladies don't-- When you call them 'ma'ma' they object and I wasn't sure if-- Never mind.

...Died? I'm s- I don't think I heard that correctly.

I do not understand. Please clarify.

Yes. I have died twice. I was destroyed in battle against Ultron, in my final attempts to stop him and save Machine Man and the Fantastic Four. Soon after, I was rebuilt by the High Evolutionary and subsequently killed in an explosion that saved the Avengers.

It's a whole matter of-- I don't know, I guess 'ma'am' makes some women feel older, and they would rather not, so instead one could call them either 'miss' or 'ms.' though I never really figured out what 'ms.' stood for.

...Oh. [ THIS IS ANOTHER 616-RELATED CONVO THEY'LL HAVE TO HAVE ] Um. That's. ...Huh.

"Ms." is a title used towards women whose relationship status is currently an unknown or irrelevant. It is an amalgamation from both "Miss" and "Mrs".

I hold no ill will to what has happened to me.

Ah. Th- Good to know. Seemed kind of a catchall to me, but. Yeah. Okay.

[ awk ] Well. Least you're all right now? So.

Y'know... I'd reckon you'd manage j-just fine, there? You ain't alone. In your predicament, I'm sayin'.

In a situation that spans all universes and galaxies, the possibility of myself being the only one feeling in such a way is very slim.

[ a beat ]

However, thank you for your attempt to ease my worries. I feel a little better.

Y'seem like a, uh, a sweetheart.

Trait's gonna be sought out for despite personhood o-or, y'know, 'bot stuff.

[ HEY I JUST MET YOU

AND THIS IS CRAZY ]

Thank you. You seem like a "sweetheart" as well.

Being different seems to just make integrating in social situations slightly difficult. I have not met many people aside from the Avengers though, and they have always been too busy for me. I cannot blame them for that. But I hope that the people I do meet are as nice as you, sir.

Your feelings and personhood will not go unacknowledged.

...

I hope I am not worrying needlessly. My experiences regarding my robotic state and those towards it have not been positive as of yet.

Understood.
My experiences have been similar.
Humans have difficulty accepting what they perceive to be "different."

It is nice to meet someone who understands my situation and how I feel. Though I brought up my issues regarding this with Vision frequently, he was often not willing to listen.

Do you also suffer from emotions?

Yes.
"Suffering from emotions" is an accurate description.

I have not met someone who can accurately explain them to me. The Wasp had told me that most humans do not seem to have an understanding of them either.

I have also found that emotions are difficult to quantify.
My primary method of learning to understand them has been through first-hand data.
It is helpful to have someone close to you with which to experience important emotions.

Oh. That is something I do not have.

Do you have someone close then?

Yes.
Our relationship requires a significant amount of trial and error.
However, my emotional definitions have greatly improved.

I have found that once humans become accustomed to the idea, they welcome even-- mechanical assistance.

I hope so. No one has been particularly cruel to me because of what I am, but it is still a little deterring to remember that I am not like them.

Hello "dear". We need to have little talk...

They'll be lucky to have you in the city. You're better than most of the humans I know. [translation: himself]

Hello, Henry. I think I will be luckier to have them, but I appreciate your sentiment. It means a lot -- coming from you.

I mean every word of it. I wish I said it earlier.

Hello Jocasta.

There was -- or rather, is, for me -- no time to exchange sentiments like that, I would assume. You are a very busy man and I would not wish to waste that time necessary for you to be successful as Scientist Supreme.

I am only how I am because of my programming. The credit goes to you.

I failed to say it the first time, I have to at least say it now.

You're a sentient being, Jocasta. You're who you are now because of my programming and your own personal evolution.

I -- [ thrown off tbh. she pauses. ]

I think you have rendered me speechless. [ wait there it goes ] I know what you say is true, but I feel many things because of this. And that, I am also grateful for.

I'm grateful that you are.

[exceeded his emotional output for the day. have a lot of nodding and concurring emotions.]

[ wow why was she even dating you ]

Will you also be going to the City, Henry?

[because he is the superstar of robotics]

My writer and I do have thoughts on going. I hope that doesn't make things difficult for you.

I don't think that would be possible. That is, for you to make things difficult for me. My own writer has already decided to choose my point in time from before the... terseness within our relationship as they do not enjoy the alternatives of where that puts me. [ ultron... ]

However, now I worry that I will be the one to make things difficult for you.

Oh. Then yes, I agree. That would be for the best.

I'll be fine, Jocasta. I've been through enough to handle something like this.

I know you are more than capable, but I can't help but worry.

I'd just like to see you adjusted and satisfied.
