010 || Sharon Carter || [video]

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's accurate. No offense.

[She just doesn't trust easily. All promises are pie crust promises to her. Easily made, easily broken. Such is this kids life.]

I don't like guns. So you're safe.

[Okay. Not fair. She's trying to not like people here, but they keep thwarting that. Not fair.]

As safe as I can be in a town where I'm being held captive against my will and running out of food, but if I try to leave I'll likely be killed before I find a way out, and where at any moment I could disappear and no one would even notice right away.

Oh, well. Everything's relative. [ Her tone is light. She could even be joking. Her humor can be... dark. ]

Sounds safe to me. [She can follow that kind of humor.] Personally, waking up in the morning with that lovely 'is this my last day' feeling is better than waking up to fresh coffee.

[And she can dish it in return, sort of.]

Have you tasted the coffee here? I'd take the constant threat of death over that any day.
