I'm fine, Agent Carter, thanks for asking. Haven't had any reason to use that basic self defense training yet and I'm pretty sure I have everything I need right here.

[She's obviously in a good mood with the smiling and lack of verbal venom. Everyone she knew was fine and they'd only lost one building.]

What about you? Anything I can do to help?

[Kobra takes a little while to answer. He's a little preoccupied with overprotective super-brother and, frankly, thinking about what stupid thing he has to do to get Lydia interested in more sex. He's a simple guy when he wants to be.]

You've finally given into my charms, haven't you? I can't give myself over to this passion, though. We haven't even had a showdown yet.

No, I'd rather you take care of yourself. I caught a glimpse of you with Loki. You nearly gave me a heart attack.

[And yet she'd still taken a while to get in touch. But Lydia had been safe, and thus had fallen down her priority list.]

Yes. I've given into your charms and my hormones. Damn you both for being stronger than I!

Is the showdown necessary?

[ Clint saunters over, now carrying his bow with his quiver strapped to his back. He was just about to start some target practice when he got the message and decided instead of just asking why...he just shows up. ]

Agent Carter, what's up?

[She puffs up indignantly. The box is still a sore subject.]

I said I was fine. He wasn't interested in murdering anyone or he would have done it. It's not like any of us could have put up a fight.

... He let Kobra live. Kobra and his idiot friend. She shot at him! Did you hear about that? But Loki still didn't kill them. Why.

I think we should find him and talk to him.

[Sharon turns to greet him with a nod. Natasha is out patrolling again, or with Bucky, who knew. Sharon would just have to trust Natasha would tell her if she desperately needed to know something. Since Natasha isn't around, though, and the camera in the room is broken, she dives right in.]

I was just wondering where we were on the Loki situation. I haven't found anyone who knows where he's got to. Don't suppose you've seen anything, Hawkeye?

[ Clint tilted his head to the side when she asked that before giving a shrug. ]

Not since the box opened, ma'am. I 'uppose the people who got us here mighta got somethin' to do with it.

Loki is older than most planets. If I find out where he is, I'll talk with him, but he is not to be trusted, Lydia. If you see him, don't engage him, do you understand? He can't help himself from destroying things. Everything he says and does has an ulterior motive.

Could you tell me more about Kobra and his idiot friend, please? I knew they were going to do something stupid, but I think they've surpassed expectations.

[Her eyes are steady on his.]

So I didn't see you take him to the lighthouse after the incident with the box.

[ Clint's gaze did falter at that, looking away from her. ]

Is that why you called me here?

And just what is going to stop him from destroying you?

[UGH! She rolls her eyes so hard that it looks like it hurts. She is obviously not enjoying this new topic of discussion.]

I wasn't there, he told me when he got back. He said they went to talk to Loki and that Hot Topic abomination accidentally shot at him which likely almost got Kobra killed. He's always talking about superheroes and putting himself in danger. It's ridiculous.

[And infuriating. And really stupid. And a cause of much stress and anxiety!]

Someone better deal with her before I do.

Why did you think I called you in, Clint?

Does Coulson know?

I have ways. [Which is... mostly a lie. Her main plan was always, "Wait for the Avengers." Unfortunately, most of the Avengers weren't here right now.]

[Sharon's lips draw into a thin line.] I understand. I'll talk to them both. Of course, they also think I'm some sort of nemesis, so I'm not sure if I'll get through. [For a moment, she looks thoughtful.] They can only do so much without thumbs, though...

Uh-huh. [She totally believes you, Sharon.]

Nemesis? Oh, for the love of-- This needs to stop. [A beat] And he needs his thumbs.

He might. And he could keep them. But you generally only have to take one for people to get the message, and if Kenzi is the one who shot at Loki...

... I probably won't take one of her thumbs. I might strongly imply it.

I was hopeful that this might jus' be a business call for me to actually do somethin' that included shooting shit.

[ He scowls. ]

No. I prefer 'im to be blissfully unaware.

Maybe I'll give you something to shoot later.

You and Loki... seem to have something of an understanding. [But Phil is still worried that Clint's... not all there when it came to the box. And Loki. She had suspected Phil didn't know about this, but it doesn't make her feel better to try and manage this on her own.] How is he? Loki.

'm hopin' to use his jackassness for target practice if he keeps on talkin'. Which he does. A lot.

[ His brow arches a tad bit. ] Understanding? Not quite. I don't know how different our...universes are. But Loki made me into his guard dog when our Avengers got together. I didn't join 'em right out...I guess. From what Banner says, 'm part of the group from when he's from. But Loki...took everythin' away from me 'n killed... [ He took everything from him and that included Phil. ] I can never forgive 'im. So 'm torturin' him by...not torturin' him.

He's alive. I cut his hair and wrote 'dicks' on his forehead. He seemed to take it as an act of service, it's not the best prank shit 've pulled before but 'm aimin' to do better. [ A smirk played on his lips. ] Whoever brought us here got to 'im though. He has one of our bracelets.

[It's faint, but her eyes dance. Torturing him by not torturing him. Clint Barton, you dork. The amusement fades when she hears about the bracelet, though.]

Does he have enough of his power that he can help us get out of this?

[ Hey! Loki wants to feel 'torment' and die. Clint's not one to doing what someone wants especially if it's THIS guy. ]

I don't think he can even break out of the chains I tied him to the railin' with. He didn't try to use any of his magic when I was shootin' arrows at 'im. [ He shrugs. ] But even with that...do you really think he'd want to go back to where he came from? In a box? Tied up in his kid's intestines? Cos...I wouldn't 'n so far 'm really usin' Asgard's torture methods to judge 'em.

[ Because...of reason. ]

Does he know for sure he'll go back to that? [If a god like Loki is interested in keeping them in this place so he can stay out of a box... they're a whole new shade of screwed.]

If we can break out and choose where we go... Phil lives, Loki can save himself from... that. If he's willing to help us, it would be an enormous help.

Oh, yeah. Battle of wits and guns and shit. It's gonna be epic.

[He grins.] What's up?

I wouldn't hold it against you if you did decide to maim or dismember her. Just leave him out of it.

[Ahem. Sentimentality. Gross. She performs a carefully contrived hair flip and moves on.]

Do you have any information about the Earthquake?

[Sharon's lips twitch as she watches the hair flip. Oh, Lydia. So easy to read sometimes.]

Still not as much as I'd like, but that's a given in this place. I'm guessing it's another rat-in-a-wheel game our captors are playing.

You and Kobra are a thing, then?
