“...and that is why you, Antonia Stark, have been selected above all others to lead this team I am forming,” a formless figure finished their grand speech; their voice did not give way to emotion or - well, anything, really.
“So, to sum it up: the Multiverse is a mess, you want me to lead a time that you point at Universes that are way too broken or about to be to preserve the Multiverse's stability, and also interfere with any Multiversal maniacs that are trying to disrupt said stability,” Toni said, and wow, was it bad that she didn't even feel incredulous anymore? What even was her life, at this point.
“That summary is apt, yes,” the figure answered; their voice was really starting to creep Toni out.
“So, uh, two questions, I guess: who are you, and who's my team?” Toni decided it was best to just - get to the point. She could... process, later. Right now, focusing on a mission felt like it'd be easier than to unpack... well. All of this. Especially since- no, don't think about it right now, we just went over this.
“I do not have a 'name' as you would understand it; but, in the past, I have been called a Guide,” the Guide answered, and then continued, “and as for your team, I will be choosing them as I chose you - people who have died from throughout the Multiverse, ones both familiar to you and ones who won't be. I am hopeful that you and I will be able to convince them to work with you and allow you to lead them as you protect the Multiverse.”
“...this is going to go badly, I can feel it,” Toni muttered to herself.
“Your first teammates arrive,” the Guide interrupted Toni before she could try to tell him to just pull in alternates or variants or whatever of the Avengers, and Toni braced herself, looking at the weird trippy portal gate that acted as the entrance to this... Observatory.
