"In my own reality, it has been a proven fact that I am the better man many times.  I have nothing against Tony Stark, and if you wish to know, we are good friends, and we have a bit of a friendly rivalry going on between us most of the time.  I respect him, do not get me wrong, but his past mistakes are ones I have never committed myself.  A fact I hope to continue from here on."  He replied, having not even looked at Mr. Happy.<br/><br/><strong>“Firstly Tin-Britches, when you address someone you ought to have the courtesy to look at them when doing so. Even if they happen to be realities biggest showoff.” Happy retorted, “and whether you are the so called better man or not you still introduced yourself as ‘Hi my name is blah blah and Im better than Tony Stark, and I did it all by 25. Really guy? Im willing to bet nobody else here introduces themselves that way. Hey, Im Mr Happy and Morph cant shapechange like me. Arrogant man, really arrogant. I might be a show off but Im no braggart.”</strong><br/><br/>"Emma, I'd recognize you anywhere.  You on the other hand, I do not know. The name is Alexander Ripley Vergilis.  I am an inventor, weapons and defensive system manufacturer beyond anything Tony Stark could dream up, and I'm only 25 years old.  Who are you and how did you all get here?"<br/><br/>"The woman you speak of is my mother. I am Effigy."<br/><br/><strong>“Wha”, Happy spun away from the armored man to face his young companion, his flat black eyes growing impossibly large with surprise, “Ive never been to a world where Emma had any children. Are an only child or do you have any siblings? And how is your mom, she was a great friend of mine in one world, I really liked her style and wit.” Happy seems very excited to hear more, it is evident in his cosmic journeys that he has missed his old friends back on Earth.</strong><br/><br/>"You're her daughter?  I...am surprised, pleasantly so.  Might I ask how you came to be here of all places Effigy, Mr. Happy, Storm?"<br/><br/>"Much the same way you were sent here I would imagine Mister Vergilis. We were sent here by... someone who believes we should be here."<br/><br/><strong>“The universe und its agents tend to work like that,” Happy said knowingly, appearing as  professor Einstein with a chalk board drawing to illustrate his points. He continues in his faux German accent. “In the case of these lovely ladies a cosmic voyeur known as the Watcher tapped them to save the life of Galactus. Certainly he eats vorlds but his apparently important to the cosmic balance und all that jazz.” Happy illustrates in charicature style complete with Galactus munching a planet in his teeth. “Und in mine own case I have been seeking disturbances in various realities und lending a hand to correct them. It is likely that you yourself were drawn many light years from home because you have a part to play in this drama yourself.” Happy morphs back to his standard form, and absorbs the chalkboard into his own form.</strong><br/><br/>She inclines her head towards the ticket holding 'merchant', the motion causing her impossibly long locks of stark white hair to shift forward slightly, indicating that it would be best to discuss the particulars in private. She turns her head once again, focusing on the smiley faced mask intensely now. Her crystal blue eyes unwavering in their stoic and calm nature, for now.<br/><br/>"As for you... I appreciate your enthusiasm, however it would behoove us to not cause mass panic wherever we are. Until we get a good idea of what this place is like, we should all try to refrain from overt use of power."<br/><br/><strong>Happy raises his hands in, “Ok, ok, bad move but the Tobor over there got me riled up when he decided to dump on Tony like that. I promise I’ll make an effort to contain myself.” To Storm’s ear there is chagrin and respect in the gaudy hero’s voice, hinting at a past camaraderie with the mutant. “Scout’s hornor!” Predictably Mr Happy became a teenage Boyscout as he said so.</strong><br/><br/>"Consider this to be a gift to forgive my absence.  I must rejoin my companion in orbit and make sure she is safe.  I do not know why you three have come here, but you obviously possess power.  Perhaps whatever you are looking for may be found at the 'arena' in the center of the city.  If the match involves the same 'Champion of the Universe' that my people know of, then it might be worth checking out as it were.<br/><br/><strong>“The Champion of the Universe eh? I remember that guy, he came to my world once and challenged all the big bruisers to a fight one, and he beat most of them to a freaking pulp! Claimed if we couldn’t beat him he’d destroy the Earth as being ‘unworthy’. He sure doesn’t do anything half way. Wonder if he has similar plans for this world?”</strong><br/>
