[001] video

[Children are laughing and screaming over the video feed. Natasha's at the playground, her profile viewable in the feed. Her red hair is made even more red because of the sunlight. Her voice is steady, amused.]

I was practicing backflips when I slipped and fell and... I landed on that jungle gym. Scared the kids, but the parents acted like it was pretty normal.

[She looks down at the device she'd found in her pocket.]

I guess Stark decided to wax my floor. I never slip and fall when I'm doing floor exercises.

[killerthighs]

I didn't even know I was away.

[punchedhitler]

You mean you don't remember?

[killerthighs]

No..

I've never been to this place.

[punchedhitler]

Right.

It's called the City. They call it a pocket dimension.

[killerthighs]

Yeah, another girl called it that.

But I'm a little suspicious that all of us are here with the exception of Thor. I hope someone isn't trying to get us back into the game so soon after Loki and the Chitauri.

[punchedhitler]

Thor's here.

[Pause.]

But I heard that Tony left this morning.

[killerthighs]

Oh, well, then now I'm ultra suspicious.

But I thought you couldn't leave this place on your own. What happened?

[punchedhitler]

I don't know. Sometimes you just...leave. You go jogging and suddenly you're back home.

It's the only way out.

[killerthighs]

[A sigh.]

Look, Bruce is new here too. Maybe we should all meet up so he and I can get more details about.. this place.

That I seemed to have already lived in. Maybe you can tell me what I got myself into.

[punchedhitler]

That's a good idea. I'll get Clint and Thor. Can you pick Bruce up?

[killerthighs]

Yeah sure.

[A pause.]

Once I find the fountain.

[punchedhitler]

It's the City Center. That's a good place to start, there's a cafe nearby we can meet at.
