WARNINGS: None; will update as needed

A // CLOSED TO DAVID + KRAKOA

Jane was not sure how she made it to Krakoa. Well, she knew the logistics of it. She knew that Isard helped her. But it was only through luck and miracles that her plan to get away from White Tower didn’t blow up in her face. When she informed Tony that she was leaving (she felt that she had to), it could have ended right then and there if she hadn’t defeated those Stormtroopers.

Isard could have betrayed her at any point in her journey to Krakoa too. A ship could have delivered her back to White Tower or put her in the hands of someone else. If it wasn’t because Isard was focused on a larger goal, on White Tower in its entirety and Jane’s leaving helped with that, well … Isard could have shot her in the back whenever she wanted.

Now she had an interview with David and this felt like a horrible remix of January. She was glad to see he was doing well, doing better … but …

This was a different world. Little she knew about him applied.

B // CLOSED TO TONY

Like she promised, Jane messaged Tony a few days after she got sufficiently enough away and was trying to settle down in Krakoa. She doubted that the message would be received well, but given the circumstances? She did want to apologize and not leave a complete mess for her “other self” when she got back. If she got back. God, this was a mess already.

Hey, Tony. It’s Jane. Don’t worry, this line is secured to Asgard and back. I’m keeping my promise of messaging you. I’m settling down. I hope things are settling down for you too. There is a lot going on—a lot—and I’m not sure what I can tell others or not.

Sorry about attacking the Stormtroopers. I hope they’re recovering.

C // OPEN TO EVERYONE + KRAKOA

Jane is learning that her “other self” was quite the ruthless scientist and had not been able to lift Mjolnir for quite some time. Sure, Mjolnir would have been proof that she was who she said she was, but it was with Thor now and Jane felt safer knowing it was now in better hands.

So, did you meet Jane before? Were you ever wronged by her before? Do you happen to know her from the other world? Were you sent here on a secret mission to kill her? Is she just some random person you happened to meet while on the beach?

D // WILD CARD + FREE RANGE

I likely forgot a plot or I didn’t get around to setting it up with you (thanks for your patience while I gathered up the balls I dropped) … So feel free to ping me on plurk or through a PM here so I can write a prompt for you!

Or, if you want to come up with your own plot, make a top level! I’m game for anything!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Does he look completely unimpressed by her statement? Yep. David doesn’t quite seem bothered by the idea that he can’t handle his own knowledges. And he can handle them. Better than most people can expect.

“Let me touch it,” he says, an edge of command in his voice.

Jaen is sure he can, with preparation and precautions. She doesn't want anything to happen to him. He has so many people depending upon him.

“Hold back,” Jane whispered to Mjolnir. “Please.”

Then, she placed it carefully on the ground between them, ready to pull him away or catch him if needed.

Cautious. He respects that. David stoops and touches the thing. No pained shout. No overwhelmed whine before jerking away. Just closing his eyes and considering before he stands straight.

“It vouches for you. And I’ve seen its history enough to know that it isn’t a replica. Which of course brings us back to your story. Tell me what you remember since arriving here. How you arrived. Where you were before.”

He needs to know if it lines up.

Jane let out a sigh of relief, glad that Mjolnir did hold back and David was alright. If only the experience the David she knew was similar to that. She hated seeing him so shaken.

"I arrived here abruptly. I found myself suddenly in this universe, in a different life, but with all of my memories and none of this world's. It's like I replaced the other Jane. As for where I was before, it was a world similar to this, with the porters and all, but we didn't have the conflict you did a decade ago."

It wasn't that Mjolnir held back. No, this David was older, stronger, more in control of his powers. Something like Mjolnir didn't put him on his ass because he'd come to learn how to handle his powers.

But he's interested in her description. And worried. This was what he had feared when he met Kaneki as he was now.

"You're not the first to tell me this. And it raises a lot of warning flags. All the years we've been here, nothing like this has happened. It's change. Change is not good, Dr. Foster."

Oh. Jane hadn’t thought about that. David didn’t look too much older—but then again, a lot could happen in a month. Or a year. Or however much difference was between him and the David she knew.

“I’m not the first,” she repeated. “I’m—oh. Oh, this is bad. Very bad. I don’t know if it was because of our porter or yours, but this … Is there any way to see if it’s behaving unusually? Or malfunctioning? If someone has tampered with it?”

David had been here far longer than her David had been in her version of this world.

"Not easily. Getting to the Porter proper is difficult. And if I went there, if I tried, Stark would see it as an aggressive action. He's close to fully unhinged."

Ugh, time. Being complicated and relative again.

Jane began to pace a little. "Any chance we could reason with him? I don't have much evidence to support that, but ... Or is there someone else with access to a Porter who would be more understanding?"

“There is not. White Tower has the most control,” David answered, his voice level. “He’s not the man I once knew.”

The man he once worked with, laughed with. It was all ruined.

"He's not the man I know either," Jane agreed. Something happened in this world. Perhaps ten years of something. She thought. "Are you sure none of the other fractions would understand or be willing? I mean, you're the most neutral of them all, as far as I know."

"IT doesn't matter if they would. White Tower is closest. They really control the power."

Yes, they are the most neutral. But they are supposedly puppets of the Tower in the eyes of many.

"You really aren't from here. This is all politics 101."

"Nor am I really good in politics either," she admitted, frustrated. "That's why I came here, but I still want to help. There might be others who are in worse positions who can't get out of where they are."

She's not proposing a coup, but something. This world is dangerous and it's going to be turned on its head.

Oh Jane. David just looks tired at her words.

"It's mentality such as that which has gotten Krakoa into a lot of trouble. We can't save everyone."

Oh.

Oh, no. Jane has seen David tired … but not like this.

“I know—but—Something is going on. People just arriving is never the end of these things.”

This is just reminding her too much of the past year she has been in this world. Or the world that was the branch of this one.

"Believe what you want, but it doesn't matter. Krakoa is in no place to comment on it, and if I were to approach, a known and powerful technopath, I'd be seen as threatening others."

Stark sort of hated him now. Or it felt like it.

Jane sighed deeply, but she understood.

"Okay. I'll stay neutral while I am here."

If she did think of anything, she would keep it a secret and not do anything while she was on the island. Then no one here could be connected to anything she did.

"You came here. You chose a side," David counters, his voice hard.

She really was making a mess of this, wasn't she? She wanted to give herself some leeway, having just come to this world and escaped something akin to an Orwellian novel, but she had made a choice in their eyes.

"You're right. I did."

"You chose to put my people at risk, Dr. Foster. Live with that decision," he answered, his voice soft and sad as he heads for the door.

"All of the rest of us do."

Jane nodded, crossing her arms. But not in anger, but in resignation.

"If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility," she assured him.

But she hoped that this place would remain safe, despite anything that might happen.

"Sadly... that isn't the way this works."

And then he's through the door, and the electronics in the house come back on.
