Right. So I'm going to start this with a simple:

Tasha? Tony? Well really any of you guys. You wouldn't happen to be here too?

Hmm. Well, so the furby and the kid have told me that I'm stuck here.

[Clint can be seen looking around, he seems to be outside the building he was pulled into]

While I really wish I could say this is the first time I've been pulled into an interdimensional portal, my life really isn't that boring. The scenery is better at least.

[He looks to one one side, as someone's poking at him.]

Oh, and this is my own personal chia pet that talks.

[He turns the terminal to reveal a Yokomon sitting beside him with a big smile.]

I'm Yokomon, nice to meet you.

[He turns the camera back onto himself.]

Yeah, she's kind of polite, go figure. So, is there anything good to eat around here and do they accept American Dollars?

I wouldn't know to be honest.

[ He may not be the best social person, but he's pretty sure announcing you're an orphan to a stranger isn't exactly the best first impression. ]

Asking never hurts. But then, if there is an actual embarrassing story, it's probably better not knowing, if you ask me.

Is there an embarrassing story behind yours?

My middle name used to be embarrassing? Does that count?

Used to be? [ Pauses ] I guess that counts?

When you're a kid, Francis is kind of, well. Girly.

Clint Francis Barton?

Clinton.

But yeah. Now, I'm pretty much at home with my name. And people tend not to really bother me about it if they learn it.

When you tend not to make a big deal out of something it usually takes the fun out of bothering people about it.

Surprising how long common sense like that takes to stick in your mind. That and most of the people I hung out with.

Well until I showed up here. Stand out a whole lot more than my middle name in general.

I think we all sort of stand out in a world populated by these creatures.

Between you and me, I think my purple radish is the one doing all the standing out here. People tend to look more the same than these guys do.

[ Yes, that was definitely a snort coming from the other side. ]

I can't argue that.

These things being so weird looking and not trying to kill me is the only thing stopping me from well, taking an arrow to them and trying to get out of here.

Good luck with that. Weapons don't really work on them.

When you say weapons don't work on them. What kind of weapons are we talking about here, because what I have, isn't really conventional by todays standards.

[There's a pause]

Well, the today I was from.

Swords, fists, magic, Gunblades. I'm sure the list is longer, but these are the ones I've noticed.

Gunblades, and magic. Huh?

[This is the tone of disbelief.]

So what? YOu threw a rabbit and a hat at them? Because I'm with you there on that not doing much to them... Unless they're allergiv to rabbits I guess.

[ Raises an eyebrow at this feed. What is this guy talking about? ]

What... are you talking about?

Magic, it's all pulling rabbits out of hats, and card tricks. I know I used to work with them.

No. It's like using fire, ice, thunder, summons.

You mean like in video games, and movies?

I suppose so. But it's real... well it was. This place nullified any use of magic or supernatural powers.

You don't say?

Well at least that's something I haven't had to worry about at least.

[Clint grins, thinking about Thor, Hulk, and even Cap having to deal with their supernatural abilities being taken from them. It would be funny for at least 5 minutes, maybe more.]

So I'm guessing your weapon of choice is different?
