Abner’s response to being abducted by an alien is something like:
“Huwha?”
And then they’re moving through…Abner doesn’t know, but it’s strangely familiar in a way that he isn’t sure he wants to think about. It would mean remembering who knows how many tons of intergalactic starfish slamming down on him and then…not being. Or being, in a place that isn’t. And he doesn’t. He doesn’t remember. Not even a little.
Abner also does not know what decent chocolate is, but that’s unrelated.
He takes a moment to take in the room around him. It certainly puts the small one bedroom ARGUS has parked him in to shame. He runs his fingers through the furs.
“Thank you,” he replies. For the tea. For the leg. For putting up with him. “You have a lovely home.”
Truly, the politest of all supervillains.
“You, uh, asked how it works,” he says, after a moment. “I don’t really know. No one does, not even… But it’s a virus, not energy. The…symptoms were different for all of us.”
