"Yapoo!!" Mario exclaims! His excitement is infectious as he realizes that this could be a wonderful thing to have happen to him and Luigi. A way to get home... Or at least a version of it... But like he said, New York was New York! Man he missed this place.
<"Oh my goodness! This is wonderful... Maybe there could be a way you could set up a way to come back? I'd love to be able to introduce Peach to some real Bagels and Lox or even a REAL pizza!">

Hawkeye can't help but smile at your enthusiasum. "Sure thing, I promise we'll all do the best we can to make that possible. Now let's go see our specialist." He leeds you to a lab where a blond man is working.
"Hey Hank, we got an unknown outworlder here." Hawkeye yells. "Mario, this is Dr. Hank Pym, or Dr. Pym, or just plain ol' Hank." Hawkeye says.
"Hello Mr. Mario." Hank says extending his hand.

"Cepalitado" Mario says shaking his hand enthusiastically.
<"Good to meet you Doctor, And yes, my last name is Mario, good guess. Can you tell me why my warp pipe led to your bathroom though? That's kind of weird. Either way, I'm glad to be back here... You know, it's been over 20 years since I've been in New York... Anything good happen? Like maybe the Mets winning the Pennant or maybe the Giants stop sucking?">

"Well I don't follow up well on sports... But a few years ago on September 11th.... There was an attack on the World Trade Center." Hank says solumly. "Terrorist hijacked 4 plans and crashed 2 into the 2 towers resulting in both collapsing. another plan hit the Pentagon, and the forth went down in a Pensylvania field on route to what many believe was the White House."

"Waaaaaaa!" Mario says flailing his arms.... then... looks pensive before saying "Getolespado..."
<"Oh my god! My uncle worked in the Towers! Tony Mario... Did he make it? Does he exist here?">
<"Who did it? Were they caught?">

"It was a middle Eastern group called Al-Quada, we've been waging a war on terror against them in Afganistan ever since then, but we still havn't gotten their leader... Osama Bin Laden. As for your uncle, I don't know... I'll check the Database." Hank says going on the computer for a few minutes.
"Okay... There's no record of a Tony Mario being one of the casualties, nor was there any record of one living in New York in the last 40 years." Hank explains.

"Whew..." Mario says then "Lannigilladestido!" With an angry tone a tear litereally falling down his face (Aw... look what you did Ultrasoldier... you made Mario cry!)
<"Thank goodness...">
<"How couldn't you have caught him? How many lives did he take? You guys call yourselves Avengers, where is the Avenging for that?">

(Hey... He's the one who asked if anything happend, and besides he was probably gonna notice the WTC was gone at some point anyway.)
"Over 3000." Hawkeye admits with a shameful look.
"Believe me... we tried, but the current government.... It's not the most... on track lately. We botched catching him, and he endded up running off to Pakistan, and THEN while we were focusing on rebuilding a new government in Afganistan, because they were being run by a terrorist group known as the Taliban at the time of the attack. It was then, THEN that our President decided it was time to invade Iraq to finish what his father who was also a president before started in 91." Hank takes a moment to catch his breath.
"We invaded that country on the pretense that they had or were creating WMDs, even though all evidence pointed to the fact that they were doing no such thing, nor that they had ANYTHING to do at all with the attack on New York." Hank stops for a minute to let Mario respond to all that.
(I apoligize to those who feel a bit put off by how Hank put this out. I'm just stating the facts as I know them.)

"HmmmMMM!" Mario says expressing his anger eloquently. "Goticiticato!" Mario says beginning to walk out.
<"How can we have let someone like that go!?">
<"Fine... if you all won't do anything... I'll get the bastard myself... Nobody attacks my country and gets away with it!">

"Because our President is a moron." Hawkeye muttered.
Hank runs up to you. "Mr. Mario... Please... I know you're angry, but hear us out. We've been trying to catch this guy for 4 years. He's very illusive, and probably hiding out in a nation that is not 100% friendly with America... Please understand if a bunch of American superhumans, or even just one just barged into such a country to catch this guy without their permission. It would cause a huge international incident."
"We already caught enough heat from the rest of the world for invading Iraq, and that was without using any superhumans at all. You have to understand that to a lot of smaller nations. Metahumans are considered walking talking WMDs."

"HmmmMMm" Mario says before letting the anger go. How could they stand it... But, if they said they were doing what they could, and there were laws around them. "Jinkotispado..." He says
<"Alright... alright.. If you say so I'll hold it in..">
<"What's a WMD?">

"Thank you..." Hank says. "WMD is an acronym for Weapon of Mass Destruction. They mostly apply to Nuclear, Chemical, or Biological weapons, but a number of people on this world with powers certainly apply as well." He explains.

Nodding, Mario says "Telliasakido..."
<"Ah, sounds like this is a much more dangerous world than the one I came from, and even the one I wound up in for 20 years... Alright... I get it, let's just work on setting up that trade gate">

"Alright just hold still while I scan for a dimensional signature." Hank says as he pulls out a rectangular rolling pin, and waves it over you for a few minutes. Then he gets on a computer and starts typing. "There now and all that's left is to let the computer search for a match and wait for it to find it." Hank says. "It could take several hours to weeks."

"Betilitatto..." Mario says questioningly.
<"Is this going to pick up the Mushroom Kingdom, or my version of New York...">
