Right after the housing mix up, April 13th

[getscooperation]

Hey - everyone okay? Check in.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Checking in. Seems like some of us got relocated. Tried to go back to the burrow but as soon as I stepped inside, I got thrown back to Leshy.

[getscooperation]

Where in Leshy?

[pursuitofcappiness]

Around the cul de sac from Tony. Or, well, if he wasn't stuck here too.

[silent_butdeadly]

[He's a little bit surprised by the check-in, expecting it more from Peggy than Nat, but he knows better than to ignore it.]

I'm fine. Got relocated with Steve, Stark, one of the Loki and Rogue in Leshy.

You okay?

[getscooperation]

[ ...and Rogue is?

Someone he knows, she supposes. ]

Sure. What's a little forced relocation in the morning?

[ She's pissed, is what she is. But she'll find purpose for it. ]

[silent_butdeadly]

[She's apparently an Avenger from another universe, but she's also someone he knows. And kinda trust, which is rare outside of his usual circle.]

Could be worse. You could be stuck with someone you've orphaned.

[Talk about awkward, right?]

[backwaterbelle]

[FRIDAY must have kindly included her in this? Or one of the others.]

What Bucky said. I'm Rogue, hailing from an alternate universe with Avengers AND X-Men.

That second part is real important.

[getscooperation]

That sounds like a story.

[backwaterbelle]

Can be quite a long one.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Tell us about the X-Men.

[backwaterbelle]

Not even a 'please' Cap? For shame.

They're like the Avengers, but made up of just mutants. We get lots of folks trying to end us as a people, so the X-Men were created to protect mutants and humans alike. We just want to coexist peacefully.

[But no, some people had to be hateful jerks.]

[nockmeover]

I'm fine. I ended up in a burrow of some kind with a woman I don't know.

Not the worst morning I've ever had.

[ That's a joke. ]

[getscooperation]

[ The relief at knowing he's OK is not small. ]

Address?

[ Teasing: ]

Don't try to be charming.

[nockmeover]

I’m at number 9 in Lapine.

Me? Charming? Never. How are you holding up?

It can’t be that hard to get back.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Enjoy it. The burrows are great.

[nockmeover]

I don’t really think I want to make this a place to live.

5/19/2024; UN: USERNAME0175 probably not an Avengers Group Chat. probably

[miniroth]

[Surely since they'd talked for quite a while previously on accident, it's socially acceptable to send a text deliberately.]

Are you a master assassin? If it's secret you don't need to tell me.

un: romanoff | text probably not, yes

[getscooperation]

[ ...well, if this isn't the most random message she's received since she's been here. Natasha debates only briefly how to answer before she sends back an unencrypted text. ]

I haven't worked as an assassin in decades. But I don't think that's the sort of thing you ever stop being. What you've done and the skills you've learned are always a part of you, so I suppose the answer is yes. Why do you ask?

[ Honestly, what the HECK is this? ]

[miniroth]

Nothing bad, I hope. I was speaking to someone I strongly believe is another associate of yours. He also knew Tony and Thor, so process of elimination; if you know a Steve, then don't worry there isn't a spy or something. He mentioned the master assassin part, but not explicitly who.

Two, actually. I thought maybe you'd be one of them.

[getscooperation]

[ ...Steve, why? ]

What I used to do is public knowledge in my world. And I did do quite a few things that were bad. [ And it's so painfully, horrifically telling that this kid can think 'assassin' and be like 'well, okay, as long as it was part of the government'. Gah, it makes her furious at what's been done to him. ] It's irritating to have who you used to be be the first association anyone has with you, so it's not something I've made public here, but it is not a secret.

Text | UN: RedGuardian (backdated to a few weeks after the train trial)

[dadguardian]

[It's been a while since Alexei learned about the Snap in the most unconventional of ways. Steve Rogers hadn't been too willing to answer questions in that moment, and after the trial was over, Alexei hadn't bothered to seek him out again. He's just been stewing and debating. Ultimately, he decides to approach Natasha about it, since she'll likely keep her composure more than Yelena would.]

Can we talk?

I would like to talk.

[getscooperation]

[ She does not expect either politeness or tentativeness from Alexei. It's not that he is rude, but he is blunt. She's made herself available to him, so this is likely not just tea and conversation, which means...

...this is probably going to be... emotional, irritating, or some kind of nebulous thing bouncing in between. But she'd rather deal with it than have the Red Guardian rattling around. ]

We can talk. Over tea?

[ Because, actually, she is very funny, even if just for her own amusement. ]

[dadguardian]

[He doesn't know if he's relieved that she accepted the request. He knows he should be, since he's the one who asked, but if she'd said no he wouldn't have had to face what's coming.]

Tea or something stronger.

Your place or mine?

[getscooperation]

[ Meet him someplace without clear exits? She doesn't think so. ]

I'll meet you at the Prancing Pony. They serve both. 1900 works.

[ She'll be there a little earlier, because that is how she operates, and will secure them a table by the wall, without either of their backs needing to be at the door. ]
