[Great, one of these things again. This was all feeling a little too familiar. A video shows up on the network, but Lisbeth's face is barely visible. It may seem more like an accidental video. The left side of her body is visible.]
I don't do well in confined spaces.

[There might be a slight hint that his voice lightens at that.]
Better than some here.
What I figure--we already know what this is like. We cope better.
[Doesn't mean they cope well sometimes, and don't have their own (multitude of) problems, but they don't ignore the problems. Cause that doesn't make them go away.]
Name's Alex. Most people just call me Havok.
[He could take his name back, now that the other Alex is gone--but he likes it better this way, he's starting to decide.]

I like it. Means that you don't stop. Ever. [Because a wasp? Once it's found what it wants, hunts it down. They aren't like those weak bees.]
Is that what you'd prefer?
voice
Yes.

You can tell me to fuck off and I won't care.
But I saw your conversation with someone else--
--you were somewhere else before coming here, weren't you?

voice; encryption 95%
No one else is...far as I can tell.

I already got one power--I didn't need that on top of it.
But yeah--sounds similar. I wonder why we dragged here, instead of back home, like most people do.

Did you like your home?

[Alex honestly asks this. He's come to the conclusion that people like him, like her--are never meant to go back to their worlds. They are breaks from the timelines, off on paths that will never converge with the old.]

No, it does not.

Someone might hate their home, but still want to go back.
voice; encryption 95%
I hate my home.
