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.]

That they can be fixed? That they're metal and flexible enough to get bent out of shape in the first place. In theory, they can be bent back.

When are you coming home?

[She cringes.] Which I don't mean in a domestic way. More in a "Let's talk about some experiments" way.

[nevermindtherunning]

I haven't been out for long. Can't stay indoors, it drives me mad.

[A pause.] 15 minutes? Can't take me that long to get back.

[Domestic Sharon? Now that's a new one.]

[agentx13]

Take your time. It's not as if we have any pressing matters here.

Oh, hey. Do you know what happened to our toaster?

[That's what you get, Doctor. Domestic, indeed. WHERE'S THE TOASTER?]

[nevermindtherunning]

........

Sorry, I think I have to go.

[It was dismantled and his little messy corner in the living room where he had assembled the wind readers.]

[agentx13]

[She lifts an eyebrow, the faintest smile playing along her lips.]

Mm-hmm. I'll see you soon, Doctor.

[After all, Kore is a small place, and they can't leave. If he tries to run, she'll find him sooner or later.]

[nevermindtherunning]

But if you desperately need a new toaster, I'd look for a new one.

...That's all I have to say on the matter.

[Sharon sighs. She had suspected as much. She'll just have to find another way to get toasters for Tony.]

[She mock-glowers at the Doctor over the feed as she cuts it off. He'll know she's joking. Right? Oh, well. Too late now.]
