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?

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.

[ He waits until he's back to talk to Steve about it rather than reply. Of course he trusts Tony's code, sure he does, but he doesn't trust the devices much anyway. ]

Rogers? [ Hanging up his jacket carefully. ] Y'in?

[punchedhitler]

[He is and he looks kind of scowl-y]

Hey, Buck.

[hexuality]

I always thought of it like... I don't know, dominos, maybe. One goes, the rest follow. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's some weird pattern here and I know it's happened with people from my world, too.

[punchedhitler]

So it's common, is what you mean.

[hexuality]

It can be, I think. But as to why it happens, I suppose that's as much a mystery as why we can come and go. Maybe the City picks a favourite world for a few weeks. I don't know.

[punchedhitler]

I appreciate the quick answer, miss.

[hexuality]

Call me Ginny, please. And you're welcome, though it wasn't really an answer. But if you find one, could you tell me? I'd like to know the secret behind it, myself.

[punchedhitler]

You'll be the first to know if I find out.

[hexuality]

Why the sudden interest?

[punchedhitler]

It seems to have happened with my world.

[hexuality]

Well, that's good, isn't it?

[punchedhitler]

[Pause.]

That isn't my call to make.

[yourbestguysgun]

That's not a happy face.

[ And he gets it, but he doesn't quite at the same time. Whoever this Loki person is, he has everyone caught up in a spin and he's not sure what it means. ]

[punchedhitler]

I'm happy to see you, if that makes a difference.

[He's on his Network device scanning the Network for Loki activity.]

[yourbestguysgun]

You know, usually I'd be pretty content with you trying t'charm me and all, but.

[ Leaning against the couch arm. ] Is it about this Loki fella?

[punchedhitler]

Yes.

I saw you talking to him.

[yourbestguysgun]

Agent Coulson warned me.

[ Pausing. ] He bad?

[punchedhitler]

He's the one who killed Coulson.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Pause. ]

He's the thing in your world, ain't he?

[punchedhitler]

Our world.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Bucky looks down for a moment, the flicker of a glance away. ]

So, like the Skull?

[hexuality]

[Oh.]

I didn't mean it was good to have more people stuck here, but sometimes the company...

[punchedhitler]

Worse.

[He catches that flicker]

Bucky.

[punchedhitler]

It's not bad, no.

[But Loki is]

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Waving a hand. Let's not talk about it. ]

I said I'd do recon.
