"How would you know?"

"Well, I suppose we might not know if they do it only very rarely, but we're not reincarnated and exact power duplicates are almost unheard of and where they're heard of they don't usually come with the same twin powers. And it would be, I don't know, off-theme? If we didn't reincarnate in our twinsets."

"...Twinsets?"

"My world, the people with superpowers are twins. Or triplets, etcetera. They're twins too," she points at the mutants, "but that's unrelated to their powers."

"We have something called S-Factor that can get activated in a wide variety of ways."

"Ours is genetic."

"What a lot of ways there are to come over all super."

"Milliways irony at its finest!"

"Excuse me?"

"Hi, welcome to Milliways, an inter-universal bar that hijacks random doors in random realities. We're all different pairs of superheroes from different universes! You're the first singleton, unless there's someone right outside you'd like to call in."

"I didn't think other universes had superheroes to speak of."

"Having been to Milliways before, and met people from plenty, I will admit that we are something of a rarity."

"So you're saying that the Wards building wasn't specifically targeted," says the newcomer skeptically, "this is some kind of Haywire-style superhero-finding bullshit and it just... found me?"

"I don't know who Haywire is, but I would assume so."

"Who're the Wards?" Helen asks. "I'd ask if they were like the Young Guardians but you probably have as little idea of who those are as I have of who the Wards are."

"...Wards are junior Protectorate. Protectorate being United States hero organization. Young Guardians sounds like it'd be some other country's version of same. So what worlds are you from, does it mean anything if I say I'm from Earth Bet?"

"Well, I live in Ohio. Sounds like the Young Guardians and the Wards are a rose by any other name, etcetera. We don't have a name for our world; we didn't even know for sure other ones existed until less than an hour ago."

"We're familiar with some world names but Earth Bet isn't one of them."

"There's some tinkertech that will go between Earths. Mine's Bet, there's Aleph, one can pay through the nose to get their version of various movies and so on. Sounds like you're from worlds we haven't contacted, which makes sense, there's certainly more of those. That leaves the door thing to explain. Is it just running on its own with its tinker or shaker not paying attention...?"

"I'm guessing tinker means mad scientist? Because we're pretty sure Milliways is magic, not technology."

"I'm not mad. Other than that, yes, you have the idea. Some capes ascribe their powers to magic but that's not conventionally accepted."

"So what kinda nonmad science do you do? Is your helmet made of nonmad science?"

"Mostly it's made of not revealing my identity to random people, but yeah, it also has my HUD and most of my kit's sensors in it."

"We've got masks," she gestures with the hand still holding hers, "but we took 'em off when we came into Milliways."
