006 || Sharon Carter || [video]

[agentx13]

Has anyone seen or heard from Natasha Romanoff? Bright red hair. Can't miss her, except for how she has a twin from another universe. If you've seen either one, please tell me immediately.

Private to Natalia
Wherever the hell you are, check in now.

Private to Coulson
My Natasha didn't hasn't been home for the last couple of days. Any chance yours can help find her?

Maybe she's hiding from you. Maybe you started a very intense game of hide and seek and then forgot about it but she is so incredibly dedicated that she's still out there somewhere, beating the crap out of you at hide and go freakin' seek.

[A shrug] Or maybe she saw the light and joined the rebellion to side with us!

[agentx13]

Anything useful for me, kid?

[onteamdyson]

[Wow, someone's not in the mood. AND she pulled out a kid. Definitely a bad sign.]

Nope. Not a damn thing.

And unless you've mistaken me for my much blonder partner in crime or forgot to add a Blue to the end of that Kid, pretty sure we went over the whole 'I'm an adult!' thing... a while ago.

[agentx13]

My best friend and one of the few people I know from home is missing. So when you start acting like an adult, I'll start treating you as one. Until then, I don't have the patience. If you aren't going to b helpful, get off the line.

[onteamdyson]

Holy crap! Jeeze. Okay.

... Haven't seen ours in a while, either.

[agentx13]

[Sharon goes still for a moment, only the faintest twist of her features showing her displeasure.]

Does Coulson know?

[onteamdyson]

Probably. Philliam knows everything. I just figured she was a really good spy and we just never saw her.

[agentx13]

Natasha is the best spy I've ever known. Mine considers me to be in charge. Which means she reports to me. One or both of them should have reported in.

[And if both of them aren't reporting in...]

I heard you shot Loki.

[A typical Sharon zig-zag. She can't talk for long about things that bother her. She rarely shows emotion like that.]

[theshield_agent]

I'll let you know just as soon as I find her.

[Fuck. This is bad. This is really bad. He'd figured she was laying low, but he's got a bad feeling about it in the wake of Sam's kidnapping.]

[agentx13]

Kenzi said you haven't seen her in a while. Natasha - my Natasha - checks in every day. Yours?

[And both at the same time. This is a load of shit. Her best friend kidnapped, and her, helpless to save her? Maybe, maybe not. Sharon isn't going to let this go... Whoever's keeping them here has to know that.]

[onteamdyson]

WOAH! Woah. I heard you... uh...

[Yeah, she's got NOTHING!]

Right. So... Might have shot him in the face just a tiny bit.

[theshield_agent]

Not so much. She checks in, but not every day. It's been longer than it should have been, though. I can't say I'm not concerned.

[He's trying to keep it together, because Natasha is one of his closest friends. He should have been able to prevent this.]

[agentx13]

[It's several minutes before Sharon responds.]

We have to assume something happened. I'll get Logan and search the woods. You get Barton and search the town.

[She doubts they'll find anything, but they can't just not try.]

[agentx13]

Okay, kid.

Tell me everything you knew about Loki before you shot him.

[manofiron]

Romanoff's missing? I'll start looking around.

[onteamdyson]

Wow. Harsh. Not so sure I feel like talking about it now.

[theshield_agent]

Right. Is anyone else missing that you've noticed?

[Sam came back and he still keeps hoping Rogers will, too.]

[agentx13]

Thank you, Stark. That's... one of the more helpful responses I've gotten.

[agentx13]

Yeah, that response is going to convince me you're not childish.

[Hear that, Kenzi? it's the sound of sarcasm.]

[manofiron]

Really? That's kind of sad.

Where was she last seen? I'll start there.

[agentx13]

Not that I've noticed, but I doubt I know all the people here as well as you do.

[And she has to remedy that. She needs to know everything there is to know about the people here. How is she going to figure out what's going on otherwise? How can she expect to protect them when she doesn't know what's going on?]

[onteamdyson]

Yeah?! And that response is not going to convince me to spill about all my motives just to prove that I'm not childish because that's what you want and I'm too awesome to fall for it!

[HA! Nice try, nemesis. Your mind games won't work on her.]

... Okay, fine. All I knew was he was crazy, making vague threats, making things float and he was blind so I figured he wouldn't see it coming.

[agentx13]

Trust me. I know.

I imagine the Natasha from your world was last seen in Coulson's house. My Natasha sleeps on the couch downstairs. We had breakfast the other day, and that's the last I saw her.

[manofiron]

So what affects one person affects all of them even if they're from different worlds or universes or whatever?

[ That's kind of alarming. And good to know. ]

I'll look for them both.

[agentx13]

[Sharon's eyes close. She might even be faintly smiling.]

Loki revels in destruction and mischief, usually of the destructive kind. He can't help it. I can understand why you might want to shoot him, but he's a demigod. You have to play it smart with him. And don't antagonize him. Don't agree to anything. Don't make any deals with him.

Do you understand why I'm telling you any of this?
