[So Natalia has watched her video, she's sat on the ground (in the grass, she's not really questioning that just yet)with a brow cocked at the device on her wrist, and she's assessed that this is not her comm device. She can't establish communication through any of her normal channels. She's also pretty pissed that someone has stripped her of her electronics.

She sighs pulling her hair back into a long tail, so the next logical step here is... Obviously to address the network. And try to get a handle on what is going on.]

So... I'm guessing no one has seen a ten foot tall angry gorilla with an automatic passing through here.

[Yes, a gorilla with a machine gun. Not a guerrilla, and actual primate. Fur, fangs, opposable thumbs, surprisingly intelligent, a quality most guerrillas seem to lack. The thing knew Russian, for godsake. That's pretty damn impressive for a better than thousand pound ape.]

Okay, well...What about a guy, kind of broody and rough around the edges, wearing a dinky little mask that only covers his eyes? Black pants, seems to have an allergy to sleeves... a metal arm? Might answer to James if you're really nice? We were together just as my friend Koko attacked.

[She pauses long enough to take a breath and squint at the area she's in.] No?

[Natalia shrugs.] I guess then I'm going to need to request an evac? Something tells me I'm not going to get one though...

Ten foot tall...

[Hm. He considers it.]

Don't suppose you'd be referring to a Winchester, wouldja? Cause they more or less fit that description.

[theassassin]

No. [This is going to be a long day isn't it? But you've answered her question, thanks.] I'd be referring to an actual gorilla.

[hung_garian]

Then I'm afraid I don't think we can help you. No gorilla, no zoo, no nothing.

[When Sharon first sees the feed, she feels as if someone's kicked her in the gut. Please, she thinks. Please be her Natasha. She swallows and smooths her features before she answers.]

Natasha. Do you recognize me?

[theassassin]

[Natasha squints at the screen, her eyes widening just slightly.] Sharon? Finally, I'll get some actual answers. [She pauses her brows lift.] Of course, I recognize you. What happened?

[agentx13]

[Her face falls just enough that Natasha might see it in person, but not over the screen.[

Do you remember where we lived last time?

[thelittlestbub]

... Widow?

[Surprised, and a little taken aback. There's a wolf hanging over her shoulder too.]

Video

[theassassin]

[Head tilt.]

Jubilee?

Video

[thelittlestbub]

Yeah, Logan's here. He'll probably speak up in a bit.

[She pushes the wolf's head off her shoulder and moves.]

It's... been a while.

[Madripoor. Most of a decade. Ugh. And Widow looks the same. Annoying.]

Do you want to come here for a couple beers and some answers? We have room to spare.

[manofiron]

'Bout time you showed up. The band's getting back together and it was looking like you weren't going to make it.

Who's the chimp?

[theassassin]

He wasn't a chimp he was a gorilla.

I never miss a party.

[manofiron]

So I see. That doesn't explain who the gorilla is. Or is this some top secret mission of Fury's that you can't talk about?

[tryingitall]

[Balthazar has yet to speak with any woman here who isn't a redhead. This isn't actually a problem, but he can't help but wonder if it's a feature of the place.

At any rate...]

None of the above, I'm afraid. I'm told we're stuck here, and that there's dangerous wildlife, so you may find your gorilla yet.

[theassassin]

[Lucky him. Redheads have more fun you know.]

Good, then I've got something fun to look forward to.

[tryingitall]

[Oh, absolutely! He wasn't about to complain.]

So it seems! Out of curiosity, who teaches a gorilla to use an automatic?

[dowhatisays]

Don't know where you stepped out of, toots, but it sounds like a hell of a lot more fun than wherever we're stuck.

[theassassin]

[See? She can be pretty cool, and all that but let's not get off on the wrong foot by calling her cutesy little pet names, okay?]

Gonna give you a warning, I'm new here and I don't want to blow any chance I have of making new friends. [Pfft.. she doesn't make friends. But she'll deliver that little threat with a sweet smile.] Call me 'toots' or any thing like it again and I might have to hurt you. Nothing personal.

But for the record, I'm getting the same feeling about this place.

[dowhatisays]

You got a lot of attitude for a broad.

[mentis]

You must lead an interesting life, Miss -?

[theassassin]

Romanova. Interesting is a matter of perspective I suppose.

[mentis]

Charles Xavier, it's nice to meet you. I hope you've been filled in on your new residence?

[ Clint's taken to spending a great deal of his time on his own within the safety of his attic. Technically not his, but it felt like it these days. When he wasn't fiddling with arrows and getting new ones then he could be found inside the bar. It's easier for him to drink and be confused than to sit up here and be it. He's never been a huge fan of being in the dark and that's exactly how he feels right now. More than confused though. Fucking annoyed.

He was in the middle of fiddling with his bow when he heard her voice. Familiar and when he looked down at his calm she was there. She was here. He had been looking for her for a long time now. Everyone told him she was here and then she wasn't just like he was before. Apparently she was back though. Maybe they were wrong and she just went off on her own? ] Nat? You came back. [ More of an observation than a question. ]

video.

[theassassin]

Barton. I'm here, and assuming that I've returned, given that Sharon has a room for me at her place she's claiming is mine.

video

[pursuitofcappiness]

Neither, but I'll keep a lookout. Welcome... to the Cape, I guess.

[theassassin]

So I've been told, but I'm glad I can count on you.
