-A new face has appeared! At least new to almost everyone of the Legionnaires save for one. And boy does she have a ten mile wide smile. She's practically bounding in her seat as she starts to record the video. Fortunately for her, these devices aren't impenetrably high tech. Hell, compared to spellphones, they're downright antiquated by being an actual physical object. Still, those blue eyes of her (what was with the odd rings in her irises?) were shining with what could only be described as wonder.-

"To the Legion of Superheroes I make this solemn pledge: To use my powers for good. To fight for justice and protect the innocent. To aid my fellow Legionnaires in times of peril and to keep their secrets safe.

I choose a new name to honor the heroes of the past. I am Miss Guns-n-Roses!"

It all sounds so romantic! The life of a super hero! I can hardly believe it! If there are three jobs every girl wants in life, they are being a queen, being a rock star, and being a super hero, and while I've come really close to two of those, this third one is right at my doorstep! I'm already here, even!

Who knows, in between rescuing cute alien animals and saving innocent people from danger and evil, I might even finally find MR. Guns-n-roses! -She's starting to talk faster, like really fast...- Can you imagine? If I were the wife of a super hero, with both of us being super heroes, we'd become the ultimate power couple! The literal ultimate power couple! Our honeymoon would be on a distant planet with the most gorgeous of sunsets over a glowing ocean, but be interrupted by a sudden attack from a dastardly, scheming villain! He'd cackle, -She deepens her voice throwing her head back and turning her hands upwards with fingers hooked- "MWA HA HA HA! I FINALLY HAVE YOU, MR AND MRS GUNS-N-ROSES! PREPARE TO SUFFER!"

But our love is too strong for them! In a long, blistering battle, we destroy the evil with the marvelous full strength of love between husband and wife! A bond unbreakable by the most terrorizing villains of the galaxy! We'll stand as a testament to love, and when the dust settles, we'll hold each other closely! Mr. Guns-n-Roses will say to me -Another deep voice, and a bad British accent, apparently?- "Darling, I don't just fight for the galaxy, I fight for you, and nothing can take you away from me~"

-... Her nose is bleeding. A lot. Oh god.- So perfect...

A-anyways, hello! -She quickly grabs a tissue to dab up that rush of blood.- I'm actually Elphelt Valentine! It's nice to meet you all, and I hope we can all work together for a better tomorrow~!

[ Okay, this sounds a bit more familiar. ]

I usually just say timelines or universes, since that's what I have the most experience with. But they basically mean the same thing, so it's not really a big deal...

Based on what I've read of Europe and the Middle East though, that... sounds like a really big kingdom.

[marryonette]

I guess that's why there's three Kings, then, right?

It was set up by the United Nations to provide some kind of central base of political power, since most of the world is, well... A-anyways, the point is, it's help stabilize a lot of things in the world. But... -The Santus Populi situation hadn't been resolved by the time she wound up ported away.-

[superscholar]

... But what?

[marryonette]

... There's still work to be done, you know? -Not that she was keeping it vague to be cagey. She just didn't want to ramble on to a guy she just met.-

[superscholar]

... Fair enough.

[ He could be oblivious at times, but even he could pick up on this being a topic she didn't really wanna talk about. So, he decided to shift gears. ]

You know, speaking of timelines... I keep noticing that everyone here seems to have the same calendar system. Which is especially strange for me, because our calendar system back home has a completely different way to keep track of the years.

[marryonette]

That is a little weird! I mean, if there are multiple New Yorks, I guess there were multiple Pope Gregory XIII's...

[superscholar]

Well, see... the months are the same back home, so that's not really the problem. It's more just...

Well, let's put it this way. Back home, the year is Age 784.

[marryonette]

W-wait... You have the Gregorian months, January-February-March-April etc... but not the years?

[superscholar]

Pretty much, yeah.

[marryonette]

That's, uh...

Wh...

...

How?

[superscholar]

Well, if I had to guess, I'm assuming whoever came up with our calendar system probably had the same idea as your Pope Gregory XIII. Maybe not so much the years, but I can't help but notice that your years are based on the birth of... Jesus? That was his name, right? So I guess it makes sense that a pope had this idea in your universes.

It's just a guess though. I don't have any books from home I can pull up, so.

[ Has Gohan mentioned he's a huge nerd yet? ]

[marryonette]

I feel a headache coming on...

This is too much! Way too much!

[superscholar]

S-Sorry, I... sometimes get caught up in these kinds of topics...

[marryonette]

N-no, it's okay! Having passions is part of being human, right?

I just don't think I'm a good fit for it. If Doctor Paradigm were here, he'd have a field day...

[superscholar]

I-I'm a scholar back home, so a lot of my time is spent researching...

If it helps any, not even my wife can't really handle it most of the time...

[marryonette]

But I bet... she still brings you coffee or tea when you're up late on a project, right? Hee hee~

[superscholar]

S-She does...

[ Yep, that sure is a blush. Yep. ]

[marryonette]

Ah, what a cute expression of love and partnership!

[superscholar]

A-Ah, no, you're uh... it's really not... that big of a deal...

[ PLEASE STOP. ]

[marryonette]

Don't say that! You should cherish the beautiful world of love you've built with your wife! Those little moments are everything that makes marriage wonderful!

[superscholar]

[ Gohan wants to die. ]

W-Well, of course I cherish it, it's just... you make it sound like a spectacle...

[marryonette]

Because love is spectacular!

[superscholar]

[ Please end this. End this now. Videl save him. ]

[marryonette]

-EMBRACE LOVE-
