[ you know who has two thumbs and is over this? this girl. it hadn't been the first time she'd woken up in a hospital bed with a dim memory of the last twenty-four hours, but natasha had to admit it was a little unique to be told that she was previously fictional and now she'd somehow become real. right. let's talk to the nice people and see how this goes. ]

I was looking forward to a long island vacation, but this wasn't quite what I meant.

[ a long sigh. mostly a put-on, but hey, some of it is actual exasperation. she wanted to be on a beach somewhere far away from space aliens. ]

Is there anyone around here who actually knows what is going on? Who hasn't just arrived, but who's been here and has some solid information?

[ she'll address the whole 'fictional' thing later. when she's not managing her temper underneath the surface of collected calm. ]

That's a pretty recent thing for me.

Noh-Varr, then. Are any of the other members of the Avengers here?

That explains your confusion and presumed babbling. There may be many who recognize you here.

And yes. Carol Danvers, codename Captain Marvel, former codename Ms. Marvel, Thor, Kate Bishop, codename Hawkeye, Clint Barton, codename Hawkeye, Billy Kaplan, codename Wiccan, Tommy Shepherd, codename Speed. There are also the island's adopted members, but they will be less relevant to you.

[ two .. hawkeyes...

can she leave this island right now. it was hard enough keeping track and keeping one alive, really. ]

Last I checked, the Avengers Initiative didn't 'adopt' members.

Nearly everyone can be an Avenger these days. Here and elsewhere.

[redhourglass]

Why?

[acclimate]

That may be a question better posted to someone else, but there are many heroes.

[redhourglass]

[ but why would you even want to be an avenger. ]

All of these heroes and no one can get us out?

I come from a very advanced civilization and I am working on calibrating a system, but unfortunately I've been left with little success.

[there's a beat.]

I believe the simple answer is: "We can't."

[redhourglass]

Just because it hasn't been done doesn't mean it's impossible.

[ she's not accepting that as an answer. ]

[acclimate]

No. But I am not alone in those advances.

[redhourglass]

One thing is certain: if you give up, we'll never get out.

[acclimate]

That is not my intention, but above all others here, my resources and knowledge are vast, but seemingly limited compared to what cages us.

[redhourglass]

Any theories on what that might be?

video | locked.

[acclimate]

I am only beginning to consider theories. But as random as their "premise" for keeping us here is, they were prepared for the gods of Asgard.

[redhourglass]

[ natasha snorts. she clearly doesn't think much of these 'gods'. or at least, one of them. ]

I'm more interested in motive.

[acclimate]

Motive will not set us free.

[redhourglass]

Understanding and information might.

video | locked.

[acclimate]

It's possible. If they make an appearance.

video | locked.

[redhourglass]

Might as well look for them.

video | locked.

[acclimate]

Look where?

video | locked

[redhourglass]

Everywhere.

[acclimate]

Then you're underestimating the work of your fellow Avengers.

video | locked

[redhourglass]

Why not? Everything should be subject to peer review.

video | locked

[acclimate]

Because they are your allies and your friends.

[redhourglass]

And I should trust whatever they say implicitly?

[ someone doesn't know spies very well. ]
