Let's do this One Last Time [video]

All right, people. I’m going through the archives of this place to convert all the parchment confetti into indexable data sheets.

You can thank me later for saving you all the headache.

[ The vibe of this is an 8 AM Stand-Up Meeting rather than a gathering of guardians. The video's pov is from his lab, which in addition to the completed gigacomputer, was beginning to have half-finished little magitech doohickeys scattered in sparse nooks of free space. The amount of spiderbots seems to have been left at one (1) so far.]

First item: Mission debriefs. If you've fought any dark forces recently and have extra concerning details to share, we should write it down instead of keeping it in our heads. 

Second: Current Projects. Anyone who's a friend to reindeer - you ought to talk to Phil and do him a solid for all the holiday prep. For the science nerds lurking around, I’d like to borrow your brains over here.

[ He'd normally have Lyla take care of this, but he's stuck with non-sentient computers. He hates it! ]

Last: Introductions for the new kids. And universe number, if your world has one of those - the chalkboard maps are getting digitized. I'll start.

My name is Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Man of Nueva York. No, they aren't vampire fangs. [ tired hand wave, as if recapping for the millionth time. ] I‘ve been mopping up messes in my neck of the multiverse until getting picked for fairy-tale duty with the rest of you.

She may have a point.

[Pause.]

Did she interrupt you while you speaking? Or stop you?

[Even if Elle thinks Need is right on this one, there's an important distinction. She doesn't love how much control Need has over the people who wield her. She's still trying to figure out how to accept.]

It is what I was meant for. It made me important, even if it is unpleasant.

[Nyara's not really seeing the distinction, partially because there's a bit of a command word situation going on:]

Yes? She told me to stop.

I understand that. I just think...

[How does she phrase this in a way Nyara will be able to internalize?]

It's a valuable skill, and you should use it if you feel like it's necessary. But I would exercise caution in announcing it publicly. If Kuk or any of his forces found out, they may target you and your ability if they think they can exploit it.

It's ultimately your decision, and I will respect whatever you choose to say or not say. I just-

[-want Nyara to be safe and not hurt herself if she doesn't have to.]

-agree that you're important, and I don't want that to put you at risk. You have valuable outside of your ability as well.

[Nyara exhales, not quite a sigh.]

It is not that I like to do it. But I wish that I could be of use to someone and could choose, and it was not for him. He would hate it, if I gave power to someone else - so, it may be a good thing.

But you are right, and Need also. There are other evil people, and those who enable evil, or... I should not offer trust easily.
