This is Black Widow. Does anybody copy? [ It was, probably, a futile effort. The red haired woman on the other end of the vid looks serious, eyes narrowed just so at the screen. ] Requesting sitrep and possible evac. Location unknown, will wait for further orders. Over.

[ A pause, and she narrows her eyes, eyeing the cam. ] I know this line isn't secure. Whoever you are, if you're listening? You've made a very poor decision, bringing me here.

Location is the City.

[No idea what 'evac' or 'sitrep' is so no help granted there.]

[vdova]

[ She raises an eyebrow. ] Which city?

[punchedhitler]

No evac possible, Black Widow.

I'll come find you.

[vdova]

Captain Rogers. [ She's surprised. ] Right. I'll stand by until then.

Spare breath. They do not give answer.

[ A paaaause, possibly diplomatic. ]

Red woman. Well met.

[vdova]

[ Just as diplomatic. ] Thor. Good to see you again. Or it would be, if I knew where I was.

Got you loud and clear, "Black Widow". [ what a weird but intriguing callsign. ] Evac is hard to come by when you're stuck in an inter-dimensional nexus.

[ but he attaches a file that's been given to him a couple of days ago. ]

It's short, but should give you a rundown of the place.

[vdova]

[ Someone who can speak her language! She takes a few moments to answer, scanning the document quickly. ] More aliens. Just what I've always wanted.

You're in The City, which is...somewhere, and apparently we can't leave.

[She doesn't look very happy about any of this, mind you, she's just stating the facts.]

[vdova]

[ Natasha nods. ] There's no other name for it? Just 'The City'?

[fastest_dude_ever]

The sitrep is that you are in an interdimensional nexus and a stone cold fox. Can't do anything about the evac.

Video

[vdova]

All I need is the evac.

[coldchaos]

If it isn't you.

[vdova]

[ oh HELL no ] Loki. Why am I not surprised?

[hexuality]

I'd suggest blaming the deities, but they're gone now. So I reckon just shaking a fist at the City as a whole will have to do.

[vdova]

What deities? [ Said with a tone that has a little more anger in it than it probably should. Natasha's had it up to here with gods and magic and alien bullshit. ]

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

...Tasha?

[ It's quiet, tentative, because she's been here before, several times, and every time he's lost her. But he shrugs it off quickly, focuses. ]

Anything stand out for me to come find you?

[ Video ]

[vdova]

Clint. [ She's surprised, but pleased, to see him. ] Actually, Captain Rogers already picked me up. I'm at the police station.

[studmuffin]

[ omg. ] I uh - copy? I take it you don't remember this place?

[vdova]

No. I don't.

[yourbestguysgun]

I'd say welcome back but I reckon nobody really likes rejoining the City.

video;

[vdova]

I don't remember being here in the first place, so welcoming me back would be strange in and of itself.

[ Video ]

[stelecharm]

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but no one's coming to your rescue. [ He doesn't sound all that sorry, though. ] I take it you don't remember the last time you were here?

[ Video ]

[vdova]

[ She'd laugh out right at the thought that she needs to be rescued by someone else if the situation wasn't so serious. ] Are you someone else I knew?

[Video]

[doeswhathewants]

Uhm. You're the Black Widow and you're requesting evac? You're supposed to be the hero here, you know.

[Video]

[vdova]

I'm not a hero.

[ladycroft]

Hello, Black Widow. Interesting call sign.

You're in the City. Yes, that's its name, and there's no evac.

[Sigh.]

But I think you already have that information, don't you?

video;

[vdova]

I earned it. And I do. But thank you.
