My stomach drops when Billy speaks and Teddy was my last hope -- but even he's missing months on me. Important months. They don't know what happened, that Cassie and Vision are dead, that the Young Avengers don't even exist anymore. I'm good under pressure, but neither of them know what broke us.
And I'm not sure I want to be the one to tell them. Not right now, at least. My mind's still racing with the thought of being here -- wherever here even is -- and if they need to know, I want to do it right.
So I put a smile on my face and force out a laugh. "Wow, you guys have seriously missed out," I say. "I'm from way after that." I look down at the state of my dress and gesture towards myself. "I was, uh, visiting a friend in Atlantic City. She's getting married."
