What year is it? (Open to whichever team finds him first)

[time_cop_bishop]

The trip wasn't what he had expected, but then again James wasn't sure what he had expected when he had stepped through the portal. To him, it should have been more instantaneous, but it was proving to be annoyingly long and he wondered if his sister was going through the same thing. Whether she was or wasn't, he was going to have to do something to end the trip, but throwing energy around didn't seem like the best of plans. Perhaps focusing his thoughts on a particular location?

Closing his eyes, James focused his thoughts on getting to past, which wasn't really doing anything but he didn't know that. Coincidentally, his trip ended abruptly as he shot out of a hole and rolled across the pavement, and his training quickly kicked in as he recovered during the roll and came up in a crouch with his gun aimed at the nearest person. Scanning his surroundings, he took note of the fact that there was no one going to war with one another, which seemed like a good thing.

Of course, he didn't recognize any of the structures, so he had no way of knowing where he was at. "Okay! One of you tell me where I am and what year is it?" His words were said as he waved the gun around like he was using it to point at someone in the crowd. Naturally, no one else knew that.

"...I find it rather hard to believe there would have been a Skrull invasion that I would have missed. The 'stay indoors' parties during those sort of things are always excellent... combined with you describing Doomstadt as having been empty, leads me to estimate this isn't your Earth at all, at any point in time."

Soo sorry I lost the tag!

Reiko stayed quiet, watching both of them.

"Then we have to hope the others made it. I am sorry that I was unable to bring you to someone who can help." She looked down.

She glanced up at them both. "I still wish to help if I can. There has to be others that might know how to get you to where you need to be."

While it was disconcerting to think that this wasn't his Earth, James was more concerned about where his sister had ended up, and he feared that he would never see her again.

"So who would one turn to in such a crisis," he asked. The displaced gunmen highly doubted that there were many who could address his current problem, but then again this wasn't his world so what did he know anyway?

"Hmm..." Alistaire considers the matter. "The Chronal Variance Authority will generally find you if they decide its necessary. Likewise with A.R.M.O.R.

I can offer you a place to stay, and a chance to earn your keep, in the meantime. I can always use resourceful people on my staff, and you seem like you qualify." He sits up and starts typing on a tablet. "First priority is finding out how closely this Earth and this timeline aligns with your own." He works out about two dozen questions, ranging from the trivial to the broad. "Here, answer these the best you can."

Because if he can know which wars or stocks to invest in, along with who might be worth saving from a horrible death, that's just good business.
