[ 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. ]

[Reasons to get it all out of the way at once.]

Mostly surveillance if we needed it, and you were one of the big guns if the island threw a fit. Sometimes strange things happen - anything from a fairly harmless invasion of rabbits to anyone and everyone gaining super-human abilities and wreaking havoc. We tried not to call you in unless absolutely necessary, and didn't interfere with anything you were doing with the Avengers or in your free time.

[ that .. grudgingly, that sounds like her. she's not against helping out, really. and it didn't really sound like the local police had much of an agenda. ]

I see. Then I must have known a lot of people.

[ everyone on the island, if she was doing surveillance. in one way or another. ]

We didn't keep track of your movements, so I couldn't tell you who all you knew off the Network, but the network keeps records of conversations going back several years - all public.

I trust you won't be keeping track of my movements now?

[ natasha doesn't take kindly to being watched. ]

I'll be reading up on those records, thank you.

Not unless you give me reason to. You haven't before. I don't expect it will be an issue now, unless your personality is drastically changed from when you were last here. A possibility, but unlikely, given our conversation so far.

I dislike being watched.

As I said, it shouldn't be necessary. Nor do we wish to resort to that. I prefer the up-front and honest approach.

Then I think we'll get along fine.

Glad to hear it. Let me know if we should get you reinstated as a consultant or officer, or you can talk to Carol Danvers. She can get me the information just fine too.

And she's the one in charge of ... the Avengers?

[ such that they are ]

Yes. She isn't the sort to hide her identity. You'll see her around. I suspect she'll know who you are, if she hasn't introduced herself to you already. She knows a version of you in her own world, I believe.

I see. I'll certainly keep an eye out for her.
