012 || Sharon Carter || LYING AND SAYING DAY 74 OKAY?

[agentx13]

[ 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. ]

Natasha went before Steve. It's been a while now. [ She's taking this harder than he'd expected; he's hardened himself a lot to the comings and goings, as much as he can, but then he almost has to. He slips on the doctor voice and shakes his head. ]

I'm sorry, Sharon.

[agentx13]

[ She runs a hand through her hair, finally giving up and covering her eyes completely and leaving her hand there. ]

It's fine.

Natasha just has the worst luck here. The idiot. Steve's isn't much better.

Did you notice anything different before they left? Were they behaving differently, talking about plans? Anything?

[greenisnteasy]

Not that I can recall. They were taken, Sharon. [ Same as anyone else. None of them are any different than anyone else here, no better or stronger or faster or more capable, just because in some version of the universe, they call themselves superheroes. This place is like the great equalizer, and like most things it's good and bad. ]

It's possible they were sent home. [ He has no idea how likely that is; plenty of people have gone missing, never to return. They could be like Tony or Galen or Kenzi. ]

[agentx13]

Right. [ Her voice is quiet, almost a whisper. She should be happy. She should be glad they're gone.

But at the same time, this means she may never see them again. That hurts. ]

I-

Okay.

Did I miss anything else? Did anyone notice me missing so we can estimate how long I've been gone?

[greenisnteasy]

[ He tries not to think in terms of evers. It's easier that way. ]

I'm not sure exactly -- maybe seven? Three of those days, I was gone too.

[agentx13]

[ @#$%. ]

Did they get everyone in our group?

Where's Barton?

[greenisnteasy]

Clint's still here, though I haven't seen much of him.

[agentx13]

I'll see if I can't track him down somehow.

Thanks, Bruce.

I'm... sorry I wasn't here to help earlier.

[ If only to try and find Steve. ]
