[Several hours after his apparently miraculous resurrection, Joscelin Fitzthomas opens the video link. He looks shellshocked and confused. But he also looks different. Even as washed out as he is by the video feed, his face is not quite as pale as before, and there is actual color in his cheeks that make his freckles (which also suddenly seem more numerous than there had been) stand out even more.

When he speaks, his voice is quiet and subdued, with none of his usual sarcastic swagger.]

It would appear that I troubled many of you during the mission. For that, I am sorry.

Romeo and I caught a saboteur in the act, and that person reacted by shooting at us. I took the bullet—or bolt, I suppose; how does one classify science fiction weapons?—for Romeo. At any rate, I was under the impression that I had been wounded, but I have since been disabused of that notion and it now appears that I spent the last several days dead, somehow. Tony Stark had my ashes and personal effects in his room. I...

[He seems to realize he’s rambling and cuts himself off.]

Since then, Romeo has vanished.

[His voice breaks.]

I came to bundled away in a suitcase earlier today, so please—help me by checking the baggage car regularly. Maybe Romeo needs help extricating himself from a piece of luggage. Romeo is the very best of us and I beg you all to help me find him and keep him safe. Please.

Yeah, of course.

[ Peter is volunteering because of course he is. ]

I spend a lot of time in the dressing car so uh... I'll keep an ear out for him.

Um.. if you wanna talk, you can always come by, okay? I know-uh... I know how much this sucks.

[usernamesarecool]

Yes, of course.

[ The Doctor also misses the little ray of sunshine he's just much, much better at hiding his pain. ]

Anything you need, just ask.

[blue_ice]

What? How could that happen?

[ He doesn't know this person, but the whole ordeal is shaking him a little. ]

...anyway, I'm on it. Welcome back.

[Conan hadn't spoken to Joss since their argument. But he wasn't enough of a jerk to bring up that he'd told him so. Not when someone was still missing.]

I'll look for him.

[adropofsunlight]

I'll keep an eye the best that I can. Will keep you informed if I see anything.

[This whole thing was new for her, she honestly didn't know how to respond, but she at least tried.]

Hello, Joscelin! I'm sorry if this is a rude question, but... well, are you alive again? Or are you a ghost now, like me?

Welcome back, Joss! Cabin 2:A wouldn't be the same without you! Nor would Team Purple, I think. You gave your life to save your friend Romeo, and now he has been taken from you and from all of us. I'll keep checking the luggage coach, and so will others, and with luck, he'll be back to celebrate life with you.
