I have never seen a group of displaced alien refugees marvel
with such excitement over their first experience with Earthly heroism. Considering how short a time we have
been here, that is not saying much, but it is something.
Needless to say, my alien brethren were quite roused by
seeing The Avengers this weekend.
The first reaction was fear.
Understandably, since as one reformed military strategist put it, “If
that small team could have so easily dispatched an alien invading armada of that
size, we would not have had a chance.” He also remarked on the brilliance of
having a chaos bringing creature like the Hulk on their side.
Again, I attempted to explain the fictitious nature of the
movie, but I gave up in the end as it became to difficult to explain after
their insistence that it must be true.
“After all, that Captain America fellow fought on the side of the Allies
against Germany in World War II, and Thor is a well documented figure of Norse
culture.” There is no arguing with that logic.
Of course, this is leading to more questions about my
dealings with the local Earth government.
They all want to know if I can arrange for them to join S.H.I.E.L.D. or
at least meet the Avengers. As if
I had that kind of influence with my government friends.
