Can someone tell me if anyone knows how people arriving here works? I know we get pulled here, but does anyone know why sometimes people come in from the same universe all at once?

[Private to the Avengers + Bucky&Coulson | unhackable | Tony Stark's code]

Report. What's the status on Loki? How do we deal with this regarding civilians? Thor, what do you want to do? I know he's your brother but you know we can't let him be destructive, or try and take over, either.

[Private to Justin Pendleton | unhackable | Tony Stark's code]

I was told you're the one to come to regarding the Police Force.

I'd rather see them involved where we might have some sway over their actions and know what they're up to, than going off on their own without back-up. Besides, depending on what they can do, we might need them.

Likewise. Information is vital, especially against someone like Loki. I'd like to ask that everyone keeps me posted.

[punchedhitler]

Absolutely and under no circumstances can I allow a group of teenagers to fight Loki. I understand where they're coming from - if anyone does, I do, but he's dangerous and even if they are trained, it's not smart.

[Pause.]

That said I'm not going to say no if they want to help.

There's always an arrow in my bow with his name on it.

I'll keep my eyes open, watch from up high.

[punchedhitler]

What do you know about the kids?

» private | open to avengers + bucky

[bettercallit]

Kate stole my bow. And my name. Can you believe that shit?

[ But on a serious note. ] I'd say Billy's the one to watch. Enthusiastic, eager to get himself killed. [ He's grinning because he knows the type well. ] Never seen them in action, but I'm not sure it's safe to throw a bunch of school kids out in front of our old buddy no matter how good they are.

[punchedhitler]

Stole your bow?

[A pause. Okay then.]

If you catch sight of them out there without clearance, I want you to neutralize it. Don't hurt them, but if you can't take out a bunch of kids than we got a problem.

» private | open to avengers + bucky

[bettercallit]

It still counts if it was another version of me.

[ It's okay, Steve, feel free to ignore his ranting. ]

Whatever rumours you've heard, Rogers, they're not true. I'm competent enough to deal with a bunch of kids. Without killing them.

» private | open to avengers + bucky

[punchedhitler]

I haven't heard any rumors.

» private | open to avengers + bucky

[bettercallit]

Glad we cleared that up.

Is there anything about them I should know in advance?

» private | open to avengers + bucky

[punchedhitler]

They're fans. That's all I know.

» private | open to avengers + bucky

[bettercallit]

Got that part. Billy practically swooned at every member of the team.

Clint— Don't do anything rash.

» private

[bettercallit]

Me, sir? Rash? I don't know what you're implying.

[ But as much as he wants to charge in and put Loki down, he's not as reckless as he's given credit for. ]

» private

[debrief]

Good to hear it. [ He's not implying anything; he just wants for Clint to be safe. As safe as possible, at least, which in this case involves careful intelligence gathering and recon and not rushing into anything. ]

» private

[bettercallit]

[ Left to his own devices, Clint might act first and ask questions later. But he's not forgetting where that got either of them last time around, and he's in no hurry to experience that again. ]

M'on my best behaviour, Coulson, don't prepare the paperwork just yet. If anything happens, you'll be the first to know.

» private

[debrief]

Thank you.

» private

[bettercallit]

Anything for you, sir.

I'll check in if there's news. Barton out.

» private | open to avengers + bucky

[debrief]

I agree— but having talked to them, I think we need to be prepared for the possibility that they'll do what they think is right whether you 'allow' it or not.

And in that case? I'd rather have them fighting by your side than on their own.

» private | open to avengers + bucky

[punchedhitler]

Agreed.

Try and convince them otherwise. And Coulson?

» private | open to avengers + bucky

[debrief]

I will. Like I said, though, I think it's a possibility we need to be prepared for.

Yes?

» private | open to avengers + bucky

[punchedhitler]

I'm going to have to ask you to be the liaison between the police force and the Avengers, if it comes down to it. Would that be a problem?

» private | open to avengers + bucky

[debrief]

Of course not. What can you tell me about the police force here?

» private | open to avengers + bucky

[punchedhitler]

Run by a young man named Justin Pendleton. He doesn't seem to have a lot of experience but he wants to help.

» private | open to avengers + bucky

[debrief]

I'll talk to him. I was thinking about working with them, anyway.

» private | open to avengers + bucky

[punchedhitler]

Getting you to deal with them would be a big help. You know the Avengers. We're not always the best with people.

[Except Steve Steve is great with people]
