010 || Sharon Carter || [video]

[agentx13]

First, I wanted to share a theory with you guys. [She holds up a bowl in her free hand and sets it on the table, turning her wristcomm so everyone can see. There's a glimpse of the kitchen of the house, some silverware bent into odd shapes on the counter and one cabinet door taken off completely. The mess is actually bigger than that, but Sharon moves the comm in such a way that the worst is hidden.] I think this is the barrier we're dealing with. Our environment is being controlled, obviously, and most of the deliveries are from above, far enough that we have no way of reaching it without technology, which we don't presently have. [Though she supposes they could use the Hulk. But she won't put that added pressure on Bruce yet. Yet.]

I suspect there are service entrances located at various points around the border, but we haven't yet been able to reach them. I'll keep looking into it, though.

Second, I'm disbanding what's left of SHIELD. I've already talked to its members and feel that it's the best thing for our current situation.

However, if you need anything, I'm still willing to offer my services. Just ask.

[Times like these, "Thank you" doesn't seem like the right thing to say. So instead instead she just cuts the feed and goes to put the bowl away. That's that.]

Thank you for the clothing.

Service entrances may only be accessible by those without the method if tracking on our wrists or maybe they are only opened and visible from beyond the limits of the bubble.

You're very welcome.

[Sharon goes still at River's next words, though, watching her intently.]

What did you just say?

[enchangement]

Not the first time to play captive. [ River closes her eyes and hums. ]

We all have these. Communication in a place where everything is observed and measured, she asked Tony if they were the method of injection as well as the opposite charges against the nerves when we try to take things apart and rebuild them. She asked and he said he would ask Bruce, but she hasn't followed up with it.

So that is one method. Track the cattle with tags, and keep them out of the doors.

Some doors are only visible from a certain slant of light. That is another method.

[ This girl. For all that she seems insane, Sharon can tell as well as the next person that insanity isn't the right word at all. More like perceptive. Perhaps even psychic. And if the girl can read the minds of the people holding them... ]

Do you think that's a possibility? Doors that are only visible if you look a certain way?

I must admit I have yet to come across the varying theories regarding this place. [ Charles looks concerned as he speaks, his brow furrowed slightly. ]

Can you tell me more about how escape attempts have failed?

[agentx13]

Professor Xavier. It's good to see you again. [There's a faint smile on her lips, because thank God. One of the good guys, even if he is younger and less experienced as the version of him she's used to. She just hopes this version is as good as that one.] And particularly with hair.

So far we've had at least three attempts to escape. Once, with only Logan. If he hadn't been able to regenerate, he might have died. You have met Logan, haven't you, Professor?

[ Wait what's this about his hair? His face practically spasms with sudden outright terror. Is this place going to make his hair fall out? ]

Ah, no. I have yet to make any one's acquaintance here by that name. I've heard of him though from the others.

[agentx13]

I think he'll be glad you're here. You two were good friends back where I'm from. Though you're incredibly different from the Charles Xavier we know. In terms of looks, at least.

What's SHIELD?


[...yes, Charlie. Because that's the most important part. Your priorities, kiddo. Rethink them.]

[agentx13]

[Sharon doesn't seem fazed, though. She's accustomed to questions about SHIELD, and she's been here long enough not to be surprised that someone hasn't listened to the majority of her message.]

Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Directorate.

Re: video:

[charring]

That's a mouthful. Why was it disbanded? It almost sounds like something that'd be useful here, all things considered.

[manofiron]

Oh, wait. You were serious about that prostitute thing?

[ She said about offering her services. He couldn't help himself. The conversation has the potential to be too honest for his liking, he has to wreck it from the get-go. ]

[agentx13]

What?

[ What was he talking ab- Aw, crap. Seriously? She rolls her eyes and shakes her head. Nonetheless, after all she's been dealing with, it's nice to be innocently teased for a change. ]

Very serious. Oh-so-serious. The most serious. That's me. Serious.

Super serious.

So. Serious.

[ She grins faintly. Does she want to string him along some more? Aw, hell. Why not? ]

If Natasha were still here, you could ask her. We used to be prostitutes together a lot.

[manofiron]

[ He can't resist grinning as she takes it and runs with it. This is so much better than doom and gloom. At least until she mentions her little extracurricular activity with Natasha. Then he just groans, a tiny little noise that suggests that she might be killing him here. ]

And now that mental image is going to be with me the rest of the day. Maybe even the whole week. I'm going to get nothing done. My productivity is going to be at an all-time low and it's all going to be your fault.

Just so you know.

[nevermindtherunning]

W-What have you been doing to our utensils!?

[That's putting it lightly given 60% of the house's mess was his fault. But that fork back there? That one was his favorite.]

[agentx13]

[She looks faintly guilty, but there's something insincere about it. After all, he's just as bad as she is, if not worse.]

They can be fixed. Don't worry.

[nevermindtherunning]

I hope so! [He sort of grumbles about something or other.]

And what have you done to come up with your hypothesis?

[thelittlestbub]

Soooo, define for me, if you will, what exactly "disbanding SHIELD" means.

[agentx13]

There was a SHIELD. Now there isn't.

You... look familiar. X-Man, right? [Right. Jubilee. Something about light. Fireworks? Sharon hadn't worked that beat in a long time, thank God.] I'm a friend of Logan's.

[thelittlestbub]

So, let me get this straight. You're a SHIELD agent, and you think that coming into an alternate dimension is the perfect time to set up a SHIELD satellite office?

[she shakes her head.]

Dude, no wonder Fury was trying to recruit me. And yeah, I'm Jubilee.

[plaidsamurai]

Where's the barrier? Why's it bendin' shit?

[agentx13]

We don't know how far out the barrier is since no one has been able to reach it yet. I'm assuming it's curved because that would be the most logical design for it.

[plaidsamurai]

Still lost. Why do you have bent forks an' stuff?

[captain_jtkirk]

What exactly is SHIELD?

[agentx13]

SHIELD stands for Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Directorate. It's a peace-keeping organization.
