002 || Sharon Carter || [video]

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

Sorry to inundate you all with messages, but I just wanted everyone to know that I've asked Logan to participate in an experiment. I would appreciate it if no one would contact him until the experiment is completed. Wade, if you manage not to do contact him, I'll make it worth your while.

Thank you for your understanding.

Aw but thats no fun.

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

What if I made it worth your while?

[darthpool.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah?

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

How about you come over, and we'll... talk it over.

[Is it suddenly hot in here? Because Sharon just brushed some hair off her neck as if it's hot.]

[darthpool.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding I love going to strangers houses! Wait, where are you again?

[And if he could, he'd be staring at her chest through the video this whole time]

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

The last house on the way to the dock, on the left and across from the bar. I can get us a drink before you come over, if you want.

[She wonders if he really doesn't recognize her or if he's from another universe, too. Then again, she and Wade had never run in the same circles, not really. Just her face on television and his in files.]

[darthpool.livejournal.com]

Booze and strangers? best day ever!

[Of course he doesn't have a clue who she is, just that she's still talking to him, pretty and blonde.Not that he'd ever worked with less, really.]

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

I'll see you when you get here, then.

[Or else she'll hunt him down. Logan is going to have enough trouble completing his mission without this whackjob interfering.]

[preytosociety]

Who is Logan and why should we care?

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

Logan is someone I don't want contacted for the time being as it might have negative consequences.

If you didn't care before, you don't need to start now.

And you are?

[preytosociety]

Very specific. Thank you for all that extensive information. Wasn't planning on contacting anyone unless it will help me get back home.

Lydia Martin. And you're Sharon Carter of SHIELD. [She pays attention. She's desperate to know what's going on. Any information she can get her hands on, she'll memorize.]

I suppose this experiment has something to do with a way out? [There's a flicker of worry before she takes to twirling her perfectly-styled hair around her fingers and tilting her head] I mean, I'm just guessing. Whatever. I'm probably wrong.

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

[Sharon's lips twist into a grin. The girl pays attention. That was good. And the bitchiness, sarcasm... Sharon doesn't mind it so much when it comes from intelli- Really? Toying with her hair? Maybe paying attention didn't mean intelligence. But Sharon and Natasha had used that move themselves from time to time.]

We're testing some things we've found here on him. He has the best chance of survival of anyone I know, so if something is some sort of biochemical weapon they mean to use on us, he'll help us find it without anyone else getting hurt.

[A lie, obviously. But she's curious what this girl will make of it, and she doesn't want the people behind the cameras knowing what Logan is really up to.]

[preytosociety]

Best chance of survival? Do you really think experimenting on human subjects is the best idea right now?

[Unless the subject isn't human. Do these people know about werewolves? Do they know about Jackson and Derek and his pack?]

If you're in favor of human sacrifice, there are likely more effective ways to play god and get results. Building a boat, for example. [She haughtily narrows her eyes and flips the hair she was just twirling over her shoulder] I heard one of my roommates suggest it. It might be worth a shot.

[A lie. She'd thought of it herself.]

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

If you want to build a boat, I'll support that idea fully. Do you have some wood and superglue?

[Odd. She hadn't asked why Logan would have the best chance of survival.]

Do you or this roommate know how to build a boat or know where to go once you've built it?

[preytosociety]

Wood and nails can be easily obtained from any of these poor excuses for housing. It's just common sense... right?

[Crap.]

It can't be too difficult and I'd imagine navigation would be easy by following constellations. [FUCK. The urge to be right and her confidence is overriding her natural ability to blend in as a ditsy schoolgirl.]

Just find someone who's good at astrology.

[Nice. Good save. Lydia smiles.]

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

[Sharon is fighting a smile, but it finally breaks out when the girl talks about astrology.]

Do you know many constellations, Lydia?

And if you could drop the act, I'd appreciate it. We don't have time for whatever insecurities. We have other things to do.

[She still isn't entirely sure it's an act. She has... evidence, but no proof, so telling Lydia to drop the act is something of a gamble. Still, they really don't have time for Lydia to bullshit her.]

[preytosociety]

[No. They really don't have time. Lydia's smile melts and she sighs.]

This is a public feed, Agent Carter. I haven't even begun to establish my social standing. We have no idea how long we're going to be here, and--

[Ugh. Uuuuugh. Okay, fine. People are depending on her. Working together could be the difference in rotting here in this glorified ditch of a town and getting back home to Jackson. The smile returns, albeit much smaller.]

I know quite a few. You'd be surprised how effective astronomy is at killing boredom. However, I'm much more familiar with chemistry, Latin, Archaic Latin, French, biology, astrophysics, and, of course, mathematics.

[porcelainpride]

..is everything all right?

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

Everything's fine. [Sharon manages a weak grin. It's... She's seen young people around here, but he seems so young...] Logan is just in the middle of a delicate experiment right now.

[porcelainpride]

..experiments? They do experiments on people here?

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

On people? Why would you think anyone's experimenting on Logan?

[Never mind that people had in the past - his alarm tells her he likely knows, since she hadn't indicated that at all as far as she knew. No, what gets her - amuses her, really - is that he thinks they're already organized enough that they're experimenting on people.]

[porcelainpride]

I don't know. Anything seems possible at this point.

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

[Or had he read part of her conversation with Lydia? If so, then it was smart to pay attention to what other people were saying and doing. There were... a lot of smart people around, and many of them were civilians. It would be unnerving if it panned out.]

Don't worry. No one can make Logan do something he doesn't want to do.

I'm Sharon. And you are?

[porcelainpride]

[Still mistrustful --] Kurt.

[agentx13.livejournal.com]

Kurt. He'll be fine. I can tell him to check in with you the second he's free.
