001 || Sharon Carter || [video]

This is Sharon Carter of SHIELD. Some of you may know me as Agent 13. I'm sorry to say that we're still here and didn't wake up in our own universes. I'm not sorry to say that we will find out what's going on and who's behind it, and we'll go after them with everything we've got.

An important part of getting out of here is to organize. Dr. Jones, Dr. Barrett, please let me know how the medical facilities are coming. Logan, I'd appreciate your help on another matter. If you're familiar with boating or hiking, I need you to get in touch ASAP, and that goes double with people who have any sort of enhanced abilities. If you're willing to defend people if the time should come, I want to know. If you aren't willing, I understand, and I won't make you, but I need to know so I can work out a plan. For that, I need to know who needs to be moved to a safe location. If any of you are inclined to panic, find me, and I'll help.

Furthermore, if any of you know of someone who could have done this to us, I want to know about it. I'll be keeping a list and trying to eliminate suspects so we can find who's to blame. I also need to know if anyone has seen very large gems or a glowing blue box lately.

I'm currently the Director of SHIELD while we're here. You can tell me or Agent Coulson.

[She hesitates. Inspiring people is not what she does. It's more Steve's area. But Steve - Steve as she knows him - isn't here. So what would Rogers do, Sharon?]

We'll get out of this. None of us are worth giving up on. Each of you is worth fighting for. You have my word.

[And then she cuts the feed quickly. Had that sounded cheesy? Somehow, Steve managed to talk like that and not sound cheesy. As for Sharon, she was better and spywork. She takes a breath. So find someone to spy on, Sharon.]

[Enhanced abilities? Well, compared to humans...]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Agent Sharon Carter. I'm R. Daneel Olivaw. I don't have any knowledge about this sort of phenomenon and what would make it possible. However, I do possess greater strength and faster reflexes than a human. Would this be useful?

Thank you, Mr. Olivaw. Such things would certainly be useful, yes. What's your background, if I may? Since we're dealing with multiple universes, I'm trying to get a grasp of where everyone is from.

[Multiple universes? Is that the current theory? It makes... sense. Sort of. It explains things, at least.]

Of course. I'm a humaniform robot created by Dr. Han Fastolfe and Dr. Roj Nemennuh Sarton. I can be considered to be from Aurora, as they were, although I was on Earth shortly before arriving here. If the year is relevant, it was 3740 C.E.

[Sharon listens and takes note of the names. The only appearance of surprise is when he lists the year.]

When you say Aurora, do you mean Aurora, Colorado, or Aurora... Borealis?

[Right. Because by 3740, Aurora, Colorado should be a bustling metropolis.]

[Someone figured out how to lock his messages, and he locks this one right up.]

SHIELD, huh? You guys are everywhere.

I'll be helping out with the medical clinic too, by the way.

[He hesitates.] I'm Bruce Banner.

We try to use our omnipresence for good, Dr. Banner.

And thank you. Do you know how the medical clinic is coming so far? Only with little idea of why we're here, we have no idea of when something might happen. I'd also like SHIELD to coordinate with the clinic to insure it gets as many supplies as it needs, should any be missing. Have you decided who's in charge there yet?

We're still in the setting-up phase. If something does happen before we get established, you can use these wrist communicators as a medical alert, and someone should respond ASAP. We'll keep you updated.

[He frowns, rubbing his other hand against his neck.]

So, ah... Where do I stand with SHIELD at the moment? Are we... friends [ha, sure], or am I on a long leash, or probation, or what?

We're coordinating with a Doctor Banner now. Between the three of us, there should be at least enough medical know-how to cope with injuries.

Diseases might be a bit trickier. Especially considering the equipment we've managed to find so far.

Which is to say, precious little.

Where I'm from? You tend to be incommunicado unless Steve needs you for the Avengers. Last I heard, you were in South America with- [Sharon frowns.] I'm sorry. I'm- I have this theory that we're from different universes, and I don't know much about your universe. In mine, though, you spent much of your time in outer space. There's apparently a planet full of Hulks out there, so yeah. That's where you spent a lot of your time.

And by you, I mean our Bruce Banner, of course.

[What the fuck? Not so much the multiple universes thing -- he's no stranger to science fiction, and if mythical creatures can be real, why not science fiction too? -- but more the other thing. About the other guy.]

A -- planet full of Hulks? And I... traveled in space?

[It takes a couple seconds to set the communicator to what she hopes is private.]

One person here had a theory that we're guinea pigs. I have to admit, if someone's going to practice bioterrorism, it feels like we're in the middle of a petry dish.

If you can get me a list of the equipment you'll need, I'll try and get it to you. Do you think you could compile a list of everyone here as well and get SHIELD a copy?

[She'd rather the medical clinic ask everyone to identify themselves rather than SHIELD. Not everyone took kindly to a government entity - a former government entity - knowing much about people on the ground.]

[He shakes his head.]

My apologies. I mean Aurora, the first settled of the Spacer worlds. More specially, Dr. Fastolfe's estate was near the city of Eos.

[Sharon nods.] Trust me. You weren't the only one surprised.

[And she just won't mention that he got tricked onto the spaceship in the first place. Honestly, Reed should have worked out a cure for the guy by now, but they likely hadn't done it for the same reason SHIELD hadn't. Banner was smart, and the Hulk was useful in a fight.]

Would you mind telling me some of your universe? Agent Coulson didn't recognize me, and he also seemed unfamiliar with mutants. Are you from the same universe as he is?

[Wow. She feels like she needs a translator, and she wonders if this is roughly how Coulson felt when she tried to convince him she was a SHIELD agent.]

Right. That Aurora.

Do you have any theories for how we could have gotten here, Mr. Olivaw?

I apologise. I'm not skilled in theoretical temporal physicals, nor extradimensional hypotheses. I've never heard of anything like this being possible.

That's fine, Mr. Olivaw. I'm not an expert by any means, either.

[She takes a moment to think about what he's told her. If he's telling the truth - and she believes he is - then he's not going to be much help in getting home.]

What kinds of fighting do you know?

[Daneel frowns a little, uncomfortable.]

I am capable of disarming someone with minimal damage if necessary, but the First Law forbids the harming of a human being.

[Probably for the best. Bruce is antiestablishment enough.]

Phil and I are from the same place, and I think Clint is too, unless Loki addled his brains in some other universe. He's better now, or he should be, if the owner of a massive headache.

Um... Mutants?

So... you won't do anything that might hurt someone.

[He considers, and when he speaks he's slightly pained.]

An acceptable situation would be if it were necessary to harm someone in order to prevent greater harm to another individual. Still, ideally I would like to limit all harm.

Mutants. Maybe I'll introduce you to one sometime.

[She leans back as she considers what he's said. But Phil says he can help her with the people from her world, and Sharon can learn to work with people who remind her so much of her people but aren't. She can do this.]

Clint Barton accrues headaches like Tony Stark collects power cords. The Clint from back home once got crushed under a taxi and had to crawl his way out. From what I hear, he was mostly irritated about the whole thing. If your Clint is anything like mine, I'm sure he'll be fine.

Coulson was telling me that in your world, the Avengers were newly formed, and you were brought in as more of a scientific consultant before you ended up on the team. Did Fury ask you to join, or Steve, or maybe someone else?

[Sharon smiles softly.] That's fine. It's actually good. It helps me tremendously.

If we are attacked, would you be willing to help get the others who don't want to fight to a safe location and then protect them once they're there?

Coulson is already on collecting a roll call.

If you're looking for a more discreet way of doing it we should probably find someone a bit more unassuming than me.

Real good speech, Shar.

You wanted to go get in touch with nature, or maybe some good ol' team building exercises, agent? [He raises an eyebrow at her, but it's fairly obvious that he's curious and more than willing to help her out.] The boating though... you'll have to find someone who isn't going to sink straight to the bottom if they go overboard. [One of his few fears and one of the very few things that could actually kill him, or so he suspects.]

[She suspects he's mocking her, but she grins nonetheless.]

I was hoping you'd take the land route, actually. Of all the people here, I think you'd have the best chance of surviving it if something's out there. [Had that been undiplomatic? Screw it, this was Logan. He was even less familiar with diplomacy than she was.]

I have to find someone who knows how to build a boat first. They wiped out the dock. I'm guessing there's a boat down there, too. Just not one we'd be able to use to find civilization.
