Shouldn't I be getting the space orientation first before the threatening gestures?

Not really. But it'll be a little confusing.

[ It's like nothing is going the way Billy's expecting it to, and it's somewhat a relief that he's being surprised at every literal turn. If his quickly rising alarm would just stop, he'd probably be more happily thrilled at being in space.
As much as anyone can be thrilled about an impromptu abduction, but that's life for a Young Avenger. Sometimes you just end up in a different universe; it's probably Monday.
But this — Billy can't shrug it off nor play it off as nerves, because he turns towards the hand on his elbow and the man in possession of said arm, and he recognizes the face. He's still being steered away from the crowd, but something's stopped moving in Billy's head. ]
You.
[ I remember you. ]

Teddy's got scales, it's no big. You don't have to be rude.
[ Billy's genuinely interested; his life has never stopped being weird since he discovered that he's a mutant and is dating an alien and can travel between dimensions from time to time, what's the hardship in meeting another alien in another world?
Sure, he could do without the kidnapping, but mostly okay is better than total FUBAR as far as Billy's concerned. ]
What world are you from?

It is in ruins, it does not matter. [ he shrugs, and there's more forced indifference than anything to that matter. his homeworld hasn't been worth thinking about in fifty thousand years. ]
But I am prothean.

[ That isn't the face of happy recognition he was hoping he'd get. Billy is tense; Noh-Varr can recognize discordant timelines when he sees them, he just wishes he'd clued in on the costume change sooner. His tone manages to stay even, despite his nebulous feelings. ]
Noh-Varr, in case you'd forgotten. We met in the Cube; your friend Vision set me right again. I owe you an apology for my behaviour.
[ Once they're out of the throng of people, Noh-Varr lets him go as casually as he'd reached out. He lets Billy put more distance between them, looking to rectify his earlier assumption. ]

Like I could forget.
[ He'd come out of nowhere, just as their team and the Runaways had finally found a break from the adult mess they left behind through magic. Nico's chill out pronunciation still left cold trails on their backs, and the dinosaur was still slumped out in a knocked-out heap somewhere on the grass.
And then Xavin was being dropped to the ground, Karolina was starting to glow, and then— the Cube. ]
Your people hurt Teddy. [ The Warden made me watch. ]

But it's your home. Don't you miss it?
[ He starts to line up more questions, but stops himself; it's intrusive, he reminds himself. He tries a different line of conversation. ]
Teddy's half-Skrull and half-Kree, have you heard of them? And we have a friend who's Majesdanian, she's kind of a walking star, it's really cool. I've only ever been on Earth before this, so I don't know what their homeworlds look like.

It does me no good to miss it.
[ there's a brief upturn of his lips, not quite a snarl but making the way there before it evaporates with a wave of his two-fingered hand. waving that part of the conversation away. ] There is a kree among the crew here. The others are unfamiliar to me.

[ Half of him wants to curl his lip while half of him melts in shame. ]
'My people'? The Warden was controlling my mind, Billy. I would've done anything to trade places with you, if I could have.
[ But he couldn't have. He was as much a prisoner in that place as they were. ]

I did. There's a very passionate denial on balls methodology on there. Do you want more white substance on your face? It's not comfortable.

No swelling yet, but there's nausea settling in pretty hard.

You'd think with the number of adults around here they'd be less shy about balls.
Including the ones who have them.
I think I'm covered, though. Magneto's helping me out.
[ That's as much of an acknowledgment of their weird weird situation, far as Billy's concerned. ]

It's a bad idea to get involved with him, you know that right?
