[Sharon's face falls when he asks if he knows her. What was it this time? Memories stolen? His doppelganger again? Someone messing with his mind.]

[She listens to the new woman. Never mind Steve for now. They'll fix him. They'll find a way. Right now, the mission comes first.]

I don't think we'd have been gathered here just to be picked off - if they wanted that, they'd have killed us while we were unconscious. But we should see who's in the houses, if they're able to help and possibly provide medical aid, and secure the perimeter.

[She nods to the woman.] You want people or perimeter?

[Sharon will double-check everything behind the woman, of course. She still doesn't trust her. But the way the woman is trying to take charge is promising. At least the woman isn't panicking.]

[She looks over to Steve.] See who else is here, would you? If Dr. Strange is around, he might know what's going on. [And it would keep him around people who might be able to protect him if something goes wrong. She looks around for any of the other Secret Avengers. Or Avengers at all. She might not trust them in a general sense, but she trusts them to look after Steve most of the time.]

She's right. [He looks to Sharon.] They must have wanted us alive for a reason. Why risk killing us when we're able fight back?

[Steve's never heard of a "Dr. Strange," but he figures with a name like that, he might not be hard to find if he's present among them. He'd rather find a familiar face though -- someone like Agent Romanoff, Barton, or Thor. Hell, he'd even settle for Stark.

He hesitates for a moment, wondering why this woman feels so damn familiar to him. And why she knows his real name. But there isn't time and he's still got no idea what's going on.]

Understood. I'll gather anyone who might have information. [He gives her a curt nod and paces off to see who else he can find.]

I'll take the perimeter. Even if the Baron isn't going to kill us outright, we should find shelter.

[She tucks one of her guns away, holding onto the other.]

Most of them look like civilians. We should conserve firepower. We don't know how much we have.

Doctor Barrett, by the way. Mina Barrett. We can use them to run communications if need be. Giving people a task will help keep them coordinated.

Sharon Carter. Agent 13 of SHIELD. Agreed.

Steve, while looking for people, you think you can handle giving them something to do? [He has field experience from the War, after all. It comes in handy every now and then.]

[Just when he'd been about to leave, he heard her introduction, and turned back. Carter. Was it a coincidence? Had to be. Carter was a common last name... right? Steve couldn't think about that right now. Besides, she was SHIELD and that was probably all the evidence he needed to understand why she knew about him.]

Yeah, I'll try to get everyone organized. Have you contacted HQ?

[primogen_vampirate]

Unless you see your superior officers in this...mess, I would advise you to consider yourselves HQ, children.

[She smirks.]

"Hell is empty and all the devils are here."

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

Yeah, thanks for that, Barrett. [She heads to one of the houses.]

Comms are missing, Steve. Barrett might not have been entirely poetic about it, but she's right. We're our only back-up. See who you can find. I'll clear some places for people to stay.

[Gun drawn, she presses herself flat against the wall next to the door. She knocks, and after a couple seconds of silence, she turns the knob, frowning when it gives. She slides inside without looking back.]
