[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...

[But if Natasha doesn't know this place is hers, she likely doesn't remember the bedroom, either. She nods in its direction before leading the way. As she's walking down the hall, an idea occurs to her.]
What's the last thing you remember from back home?
[What if they aren't from the same universe after all? What if this Natasha isn't from her universe or Coulson's?]
no subject
[She hesitates a moment before following, because this is Sharon, what is there for her to worry about- really?
There's a moment of pause before she answers that.]
Stasis tubes, Russian gorillas, being a step behind some asshole letting old Red Room Russki-sicles out. I remember Jam-[She catches herself.] You know the usual- I can't tell you everything because Steve will have my ass, S.H.I.E.L.D BS.
no subject
I understand.
What was our last mission together?
[The last she knew, they were in Russia, trying to save Bucky from the Gulag.]
no subject
You and I were in Russia to rescue James.
Would you like to continue the interrogation or are you content that I'm who I say I am?
no subject
People are here from different universes, and from different points in those universes. I arrived here from just after the assignment in Russia. You were here before, but you were the Red Room version of yourself. Bucky was here, too, but they took him back after you disappeared. But you've still got most of your clothes from last time, and I've been hoarding drinks for you. Bottom left drawer in the cabinet.
[And that, if nothing else, should show how much Sharon has been missing her friend. She hasn't even broken into Natasha's alcohol yet.]
no subject
So, you think I'm from a different time, or universe? Or I'm a crazy Russian Version of myself? If I were, we wouldn't be having this discussion. [If she were Red Room Crazy, she wouldn't be playing nice, she'd get her information other ways.
She arches a brow, momentarily hopeful about James, but that melts away.]
You've been stashing way alcohol for me? You shouldn't have...
[Nat sits on the edge of the bed.]
So, I was here. I was not nice... And yet somehow you have a room set up for me and I have clothes.. What is this?
no subject
You've noticed the cameras. They're everywhere. If you try to destroy one, it will be fixed as soon as you leave the room. If you try to watch it, you'll be knocked out. An A.I. tried it and was turned off during the duration.
Logan is here, too. A girl named Jubilee who seems to be from our universe is here as well. [ Sharon makes a face. ] To warn you, Jubilee doesn't like SHIELD.
[ She shifts her weight uncomfortably. ] That's another thing I should tell you. I tried founding another SHIELD here but called things off a while ago. [ She switches to Thai, knowing Natasha will understand. ] Officially.
[ Which means unofficially, she still has something going. ]
no subject
You beat me? Good work.
[She nods listening... silent while she takes everything in.]
Haven't spoken to Logan, but Jubilee told me he was here. I haven't seen her in...Gosh, somewhere around ten years, I guess. And who really likes S.H.I.E.L.D., I mean really?
[Natasha nods again, understanding she gets you.]
So... I just got here, and this is a lot of information... Wanna crack open a bottle?
no subject
Really dirty.
[ She frowns when Natasha asks who really likes SHIELD. Sharon did. Sharon had loved SHIELD more than most of the people in her life. She'd worked ehr ass off to join in the first place, then kept working her ass off because she had believed in its goals. Even after she'd been left for dead, it was thanks to SHIELD and her training that she'd survived. And certainly thanks to SHIELD that she had healed as much as she had. But after a moment, she goes to sit on the bed. ]
Might as well. To welcome you back. Not like it happens every day.
Our other housemate is an alien, by the way. Not everyone knows. But he's something called a Time Lord. His science is more advanced than ours, and he's been trying to come up with some solutions to our situation. That's why the place is such a mess.
no subject
[dklakld There goes the grin, melting away into a more familiar and neutral expression. Really Sharon?
She was kidding! Don't... Ugh.. why? She was kidding because she wouldn't still be working for them if she didn't like her job, and her friends.
Stop looking at her like that.]
With a little luck, it won't happen again.
... an alien? [Weirdly, with all the being trapped. Alternate timelines. Having been here and not knowing it. Leaving and coming back a couple of times- once not even as herself, but some alternate copy of herself. What actually gets her is that their roommate is an alien.
...it's not like Natasha hasn't known aliens. It's just... Okay then.
Yep. She's going to gesture toward the Cabinet like 'this one?' and open it to pull the bottle out.]
Good. You'll have to let him know for me I'll assist if I can.
no subject
I'll tell him. [ She nods and reaches out for a bottle. ] Might not want to mention you have all of that there. With the way food and the other alcohol is going, it won't be long before people start pilfering food from one another. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.
And yeah, he's a Time Lord. Two hearts. His tech usually means he can travel through time and space, but he doesn't have it with him right now. But if you see a box called a TARDIS, it belongs to him. [ Details on the box beyond that were more than a little sketchy, unfortunately. ]
no subject
She hands over the bottle after she takes a drink.]
Food situation isn't good then? I won't say a word, and they'll have to get passed us to get to it anyway.
[Natasha arches a brow.]
Two hearts....Time traveling tech...And a box called a TARDIS. [If she had any more information about the box she's sure Sharon would tell her.]
