So I guess I got here a week or so ago? I feel like I've been at a Renaissance Faire. Not cool guys.

Uh, I'm Clint. I'm new. [He rubs the back of his neck briefly.] And not stealing things anymore? That's good. So if anyone can give me the rundown on this place? Greatly appreciated.

Possible pocket dimension bringing in individuals from multiple universes and keeping them in a relatively stable state of living under the pretense of preparing them for a "normal life."

[veryproud]

Did you not like the Renaissance Faire?

[bowsbeforehoes]

Well, that sounds down right complicated.

[He pauses. Because what. Coulson. You're supposed to be dead.] The leather pants chafed.

[veryproud]

It is. The apparent protocol for such a complicated situation is 'go with the flow.'

[ Dead is such a vague term these days. ] Ouch.

[bowsbeforehoes]

I'm a pretty go with the flow guy.

So. [He pauses.] So this place brings people back from the dead, huh?

[veryproud]

That's what I've been told.

[bowsbeforehoes]

Well, good to see you around.

[veryproud]

I'm glad to be around, odd circumstances around.

Have you got enough of a grasp on the situation? I take it people are mentioning you're technically a returnee.

[bowsbeforehoes]

Yeah, fictional bullshit, gotta acclimate myself to the real world. And that's funny, cause I don't remember being here the first time.

[veryproud]

Remembering would be considered out of the norm.

[fuckincakewake]

i thought u looked dashin

[bowsbeforehoes]

Thanks.

[fuckincakewake]

what do u do 4 realz
cuz im not a witch n e more
so u must not be a rl bandit

[bowsbeforehoes]

When I'm not being awesome I moonlight as a government agent.

[fuckincakewake]

oh sweet
u gonna work 4 the school then 2?
i hear thats what coulz did b4 he joined up w us

[bowsbeforehoes]

Coulson's... well, Coulson. He's one guy you don't wanna mess with.

Maybe, maybe not. I'm keeping my options open.

[fuckincakewake]

o id mess w him
if u catch my drift

[theytookmyipod]

Yeah, apparently it does stuff like that. I was told there was a point where everyone thought they were pirates I don't even know, man.

If you want cake and sympathy booze to get over the odd welcome, let me know. My roommate and I are probably making cake to celebrate the sheer what the fuck of it all.

[bowsbeforehoes]

It would have been cool to be pirates, not gonna lie.

And I am all for cake and sympathy booze. Where can I join you ladies?

[theytookmyipod]

Yeah, it kind of would, wouldn't it?

I'll let you know when we're good. I think this one deserves a paty, honestly.

[bowsbeforehoes]

Thankfully my schedule is free for the foreseeable future. I don't have a job yet.

[theytookmyipod]

Yeah, I've got one but ti's not too demanding. Just ask around if you want one. You should be able to find something.

[bowsbeforehoes]

Looks like I'm getting roped into a few things by the sound of it, probably got a job lined up with the police. Go me.

[theytookmyipod]

Oooh, nice. Have fun with that. Sounds more interesting than my job.

[swordhappy]

Do you recall me now, Clint Barton?

[Even though he looks less- purple, than the Clint Barton she knows of.]

[bowsbeforehoes]

I really wish I could, but I can't. Sorry.

[swordhappy]

Truth be told, I expected as much. Have you heard of Asgardia?

[bowsbeforehoes]

Asgard? Yeah. Worked with Thor a bit back home, had my fill of Loki for a lifetime.

[swordhappy]

Good. That is good, and lessens the need for explanations that might have proved awkward to us both. I am Lady Sif, a friend of Thor's, and I knew- however distantly- of you.

[bowsbeforehoes]

It's good to meet you then.

[steelweb]

Welcome back, Mr. Barton. Are you still interested in helping the police force?

[bowsbeforehoes]

Thanks. [Pause.] I take it you need help.

[steelweb]

If you're still interested, we're still undermanned after the super-powered debacle a few months ago. Last time you were here, you and your team worked well with the police force. I'd like to reopen that line of communication.

[bowsbeforehoes]

Sure, if you need help, I don't mind lending a hand.

[steelweb]

Good. If you would report to the police station, we'll go through the paperwork to make it official. And we can discuss your preference for officer or freelance consultant.

[bowsbeforehoes]

I'll make it down there sometime today. Gotta familiarize myself with the town.

[steelweb]

Ask the secretary to direct you to me. She'll be pleased to see you again - I understand she worked for Mr. Stark while he was here.

[tookthename]

Clint!

[It's great to see a familiar face, especially one who's been here before.]

It's good to have you back.

[Video]

[bowsbeforehoes]

[Someone else who knows him. He remembers her from when they went all ren faire.]

Carol, right?

[Video]

[tookthename]

Yeah! I'm sorry you landed back here, but it's good to have you back.

[Video]

[bowsbeforehoes]

Thanks, even I don't remember being here the first time.

[Video]

[tookthename]

Really?

[Carol frowns]

Do you know who I am beyond the weird ren fair stuff that happened?

[Video]

[bowsbeforehoes]

Wish I did. You seem like someone I'd never forget, to be honest.

[Video]

[tookthename]

That sucks.

I guess it's time for re-introductions. I'm Carol Danvers. Captain Marvel is my alias, though it's really just a formality now that my identity is public. You don't remember, or maybe you just haven't experienced it yet, but I know you from working with you on the Avengers.
