012 || Sharon Carter || LYING AND SAYING DAY 74 OKAY?
[ Sharon is far from pleased to find herself back here. She can remember it now, even though she could swear she had gone home. She and Steve, Sam, Rachel, and SHIELD had fought Codename Bravo and Madame Hydra, and- But it doesn't matter now, because she's back, trapped here by forces she still can't understand.
She surveys the house, noting that if nothing else, the Doctor has been here, and finally stops at the a window. She pours herself a glass of water, takes a sip, and then cues up the video. ]
This is Sharon Carter. Again. It seems I'm back.
What did I miss.
[ Oh, damn it. And she'd better do that, too. But- you know what? No. She can track people down and apologize for screwing them in a sex-crazed haze privately. ]

It's Erik now, is it? You've grown as a person in your time away.
We seem to be returned to ourselves. For now.
[ video ]
[ Her tone is sharp. Too sharp. She takes a breath and forces herself to calm down. ]
Been into the woods since we last spoke?
[ video ]
No, I don't.
[ But he will get right on caring! Just as soon as the earth crashes into the sun. ]
At least once. Why?
[ video ]
See any metal bears while you were in there?
[ video ]
Will you be seguing into how I should take one of those and perform crude anatomical insertion? Because if so I have things to do today. Feel free to get to the point.
[ video ]
Are you saying you want to have sex with a metal bear?
[ God.
Damn.
He would. ]
[ video ]
[ Ah, this is the level we're on now. ]
If I become that starved for activity you'll be the first to know.
[ video ]
Erik. I knew you needed therapy, but this is going too far.
[ Yeah. This is the level we're on now. ]

Not so much a favor as an expectation.
Unless you want Professor Xavier to be one of their pet projects forever.
[ video ]
Allow me to ask. How would the man you think I am react to what you've just said?
[ video ]
He'd get off his lazy ass and try to save the best friend he's ever had. Possibly the only friend he's ever had.
[ video ]
[ Oh, give it time. ]
[ video ]
And yet, even he would have us out of here by now.
[ As opposed to YOU, Baby Erik. Useless Baby Erik. UBE.
And just you try to torture her. She will own your ass. She'll flatten it, remake it, and sell it on Etsy. ]

[ video ] /casually moves my comment like a boss.
squabbling like toddlersconversation. ]Hello. [ Bright smile. Breathless. Do not use his name in vein Sharon, christ. ] While this is all very interesting and everyone has their own valid points, I'm going to have to borrow him for a while.
[ Think quick, Xavier. ] Ican'treachthetopofthecurtain. [ Clearing his throat. Pointedly. ] So. This will just have to wait.
[ SO SMOOTH. ]
[ video ] YEAH THX
Charles, really.
[ Goddammit he will SO get you out of here. :| SEE IF HE DOESN'T. ]
[ video + telepathy ]
Telepathically to Charles: ]
Are you going to climb on his shoulders to reach the curtains?
That sounds like fun. Be like climbing a mountain. [ Of grumpy. Thank you Sharon, for making the telepaths' day that much more ...full of angry metal-kintetic. ]
[ telepathy ]
Why didn't he just go and fetch Erik properly? He can feel the other man enter the room even. ] No River, I do not intend on climbing his shoulders.
[ Not right now anyway. And not in the way she means. ]
[ telepathy ]
Sharon's mind is good for organizing ideas. Not so great for tact.
[ telepathy ]
[ Because while he doubts Erik cares very much about the personal attacks from many sides, it makes Charles angry and ashamed of the people around him. ] I'll make sure he's all right, I promise.
