Welcome to Nowhere
Wherever they were, whatever they were doing, two men from different worlds find themselves in the middle of a rolling desert. While hills obscure some of the view, there seems to be a great deal of sand and not much else.

Well, aside from the faint smell of coffee and fresh baked goods off in one direction.

Dane didn't like the idea of what this man was saying.

"Where is my wife?" he demands. "I need to go back and find her, make sure she's all right."

"Your wife, in fact, is not alright Mr. Whitman. In current reality, she was killed, along with Ikaris, during the Cthonic uprisings. Without their leadership, Zuras decided to take all of the Eternals to the outpost on Titan. They now attempt only to keep the demon rulers of Earth from infesting the rest of the galaxy. Neither you, nor any other human has ever taken on the guise of the Black Knight."
He pauses, pushing coffee cups and the muffin tin across the counter towards the pair.

"I know, you're going to tell me that its a lie. And you have an opportunity to turn it back into a lie. Or I can send you back where you will be a thrall of Cthon's that Sersi has never heard of. Its your decision."

Dane Whitman tries to keep the rage out of his expression. This man is lying. He would know if Sersi was dead. He knows he would.

"And what you're saying is what happened because of this...'ripple'? If I do not join you, then what you tell me would come to pass?" he asks.

"Oh, she recovered... Eternals do that. They just don't live on Earth anymore, in your reality. They left thousands of years before you were born a thrall." he explains, as if he could hear the Black Knight's thoughts.
"If you don't take me up on the offer, I send you back, the odds of fixing your reality decrease dramatically, you and Sersi will never meet, and you will live until the age of 37, at which point you will die from heatstroke and exhaustion in Cthon's slaveyards, after which you will be served for dinner to the rest of the slaves."

"What do I need to do to get back to my wife?" Dane asks shortly. "And to get her back completely and save my people?"

"Join the Exiles... a group I've salvaged from some of the affected worlds to try and save the timestream. Stabilize enough realities and your world will gel back the way you remember it. I won't lie... its possible to die, or fail. This isn't an easy task... but its the best chance your world has."

"Exiles? Hm. All right. I will join this group if it means saving my wife and my world. I hope you're not lying to me, whoever you are. Where are the rest of the people you've gathered? My companion and I see only you." Dane says.

"On assignment, battling for the fate of a universe. You're the newcomers... some of them have been at this job for a while. As for whether I'm lying or not, you have only my word, I'm afraid. But I did offer to send you home.... such as it is."

The man glances to Bullseye. "And you're the second newcomer to the little band, provided you don't decide to go home."

“Yeah, I guess I am,” Lester said, “But I’m not sure if all this stuff you’re talking about is a load of bull or not.” Though it clearly had effected Dane that was one thing Lester felt sure of.

"Good, because you don't fare so well either. In your universe, your first outing as a baseball player resulted in a shoulder injury. Four surgeries later your right arm still never felt right. You never discovered your gifts, and because of it, Iron Man killed director Rogers. Tony Stark is now the director of the NSA, advised by Elektra... the plant of the Kingpin of Hell's Kitchen. And you're a plumber. Just so you know what you'd have to look forward to if you choose to go back. Feel free to call my bluff... otherwise, gentlemen, I really do recommend the muffins."

Dane doesn't like being ordered around, or cornered, but currently, he has little other information to go on. For now, it would be best to follow this to its conclusion and get back to Sersi as soon as possible. The ache of being away from her eats at him already.

Dane steps forward and takes a muffin.

"You are a strange, strange man. But for now, I'll work with you. Where do you we find the rest of the team." he asks.

"Manifestation of your subconscious minds... you have only yourselves to blame. And as soon as you finish your muffin, you'll be on your way. Incidentally, the girl with the shiny bracelet is Sarah Rogers, the long-timer on the current team. That bracelet is called the Tallus. Each world you move into, it will give you an idea of your mission, as best it can."

“That psycho in charge of the NSA that can only end badly and he killed Rogers if I ever get back there,” Lester said though the thought of himself as a plumber made him shudder and reach for his shoulder reflexively. He could not take the chance of living that life it was too horrible for words, a plumber, agh. He never wants to think about that again.

“All right I’ll play your game,” Lester says as he grabs muffin to eat or maybe use as a weapon for late he wasn’t sure yet.
