JENNIFER WALTERS (MCU)

"Last I heard, Doctor Strange from your universe might be behind all of this. Not to throw anyone under the bus."

"Sounds a little like you're throwing him under the bus." But c'mon, readers. You know Cindy could be right. "—That being said, I'm not about to sue Doctor Strange without concrete proof that this is his fault. Wong would not be happy with me."

"It was sarcasm." Stephen clarified with an amused smirk, but it quickly faded as the gravity of everything started to hit him again. "My question is, why us? Why were some people left behind?"

"Come on, Doc. You know we're the lucky ones." Jen teased, her voice full of sarcasm. "Car accidents, gamma infused blood, magical mantles thrust upon us, getting sucked through the multiverse. It all feels a little personal sometimes, doesn't it?"

"Hey, people don't exactly come to me for the smart questions." Pausing, Johnny tilted his head at the rest of Jen's response. "So if there was an entity or person responsible for all this, you could sue them?"

"Yeah, I'm getting that vibe." Jen chuckled before shoving some curls from her face. "I mean, maybe not for all of this directly, but probably. I'd want to consider filing the suit as emotional distress. It wouldn't be going to small claims court though, that's for sure."

"Hey, I'm just throwing out all our options at this point." Miles threw his arms up in an exacerbated shrug as he let out a huff. "How are some of you so chill with all of this?"

"Let's keep working on that, then. Suing the multiverse is about as productive as suing the ocean over a tsunami. You won't get anything but a big bill from the court and lot of wasted time." At his question, Jen paused. "I don't know if chill is the right word. I'm someone with who turns green when I get angry. I'm, like, a professional at keeping my emotions in check."

"hi--welcome to the emporium! howcanihelpyou." the last bit rushed out of her. darcy totally hadn't been smoking in the back and barely heard the door open. not at all.

"Is this a bad time?" It looked like Jen was the only customer, but the worker was suspiciously out of breath. "I can come back later, if you'd like? I was just going to browse."

"Y'know, before getting trapped here, I made my way through a decent amount of dating app matches. I don't think you were one of them."

"So, basically, it's another Tuesday, huh?"

"I thought y'all said it gets cold here."

"I came from California. If it wasn't for the gamma radiated blood in me, I think I'd be frozen solid." Still, Jen hating being able to see her own breath. That just felt wrong.

"this is why i never come to time square--it always smells like urine and scammers keep trying to lure you into their shops."

"Isn't avoiding Times Square the first rule of New York? Or is that jay walking is always okay?"

"as frustrating as i might be for everyone, I have no further answers about how I got here--nor what removed me from this universe in the first place. as far as i can determine, i was displaced into another timeline during my absence just as the rest of you all have been here."

"You don't have to worry about frustrations or answers right now, your majesty. I'm not here to try to get anything out of you. I'm actually here to check in on how you're feeling. Believe it or not, I'm a little friendlier than Captain Marvel." Sam wasn't bad, but he was busy. Carol wasn't a people person. "I'm Jen."

"Ever since this whole thing started, all we've been able to do is sit tight while we search for answers. I feel like I'm losing my mind."

"I never thought I'd say it, but thank god for crime. It's giving me something to do. Keeping busy is keeping me sane."

"See, I'm more an Indiana Jones girl myself, but to each their own. Young Harrison Ford just does it for me every time."

"witches have been surviving for centuries. it's what we do. so if one more person decides they want to remind me that my variant is dead, they'll be the next to join her. now... did you want a damn tarot reading or not? I take cash-app and venmo."

"Sorry, I'm kind of hard to kill." It was the Hulk in her. "But I have no reason to bring up any of what you just said. I'm here for the tarot and the tarot alone."

"what is that!?"

"Okay, rude. That is me. She-Hulk. You've never seen a Hulk?"

"C'mon, you haven't heard that sound? Wait, you do have a tik tok, right?---don't tell me you're still on x..."

"I mean, I have the app downloaded?" Nikki sent her so many videos that she had no choice but to cave in. Besides, Jen wasn't above occasionally looking at edits of herself. Occasionally.

"Did you know they don't sell walkman's anymore? I mean they do, but you can't just go out and buy one, you gotta pay some asshat online. Fricken' kid at Best Buy laughed at me and then tried to sell me an iphone pay plan and I was like--dude, I don't need an iphone, unless verizon's got cell phone towers across the galaxy I don't know about--which they don't--I just want to jam out to my tapes. Then he called me a fossil and said that he couldn't help me. What is with these earth kids, man--they're a buncha' dicks."

Looking at you, mods, for the timeline.

"and we're sure this reality mish-mash has nothing to do with a maximoff? cause they sorta have a thing for playing doll house with real people."

"Doesn't feel a little easy to blame Wanda? Also, didn't she get, like, crushed by a mountain or something? I think that's what Bruce said."
