Mockingbird | Loki | 043

[counterterrorism]

[Bobbi is tired of being launched from one part of spacetime to another, that's all she's got to say to this situation.

Seriously, there's no reason for this nonsense. She's not being haunted by vengeful ghosts (who are seriously the epitome of the Nice Guy syndrome, what gives?) and she's not in any recent trouble. She's pretty sure, anyway.

So...why the sudden appearance in a heavily forested area? The sound of waves crashing makes her think island, but it's hard to believe they're on Earth when the sky is purple and the leaves on the trees are blue.

Seriously.

H u f f.]

What gives?

[hashtagging]

And we are just supposed to believe you?

[ Natasha is eyeing them both like a cat ready to pounce. Steve lifts his hand, hoping to ward off that exact bickering. ]

Let's say they are telling the truth for the moment. Stark, Banner -- could you do anything about it?

[counterterrorism]

[And admittedly, the promise of Crazy Science is enough to get Tony interested, as he rubs his chin, setting down his schawarma.]

Depends. How different is your universe from ours?

[Bruce also seems to be trying to wake himself up more, though he looks interested.]

Well. [...CLINT AND I WERE MARRIED??? YOU AND CAP HAD ISSUES? BUCKY EXISTS AND IS ALIVE AND IS CAP # 2?

...something safer.]

From the looks of it, the Avengers are a pretty new thing here. Back home, you've been around for awhile, and I was a part of the crew.

[hashtagging]

And quite a different opening crew.

[ Loki of all people would know that. ]

However, still, Avengers exist, you all exist and are superheroes, so it is not too far off the mark.

[ Steve looks at his two science minds, considering the situation. Then he waves at Natasha and Clint. ]

Pull up another table and a couple chairs, will you?

[ Neither looks thrilled with the idea, but they do as they are asked while Steve addresses Bobbi and Loki again. ]

We're all exhausted and aren't going to be able to do much to help you right now. But give us a while to rest and we'll do our best.

[counterterrorism]

[Loki sure would, but Bobbi just shoots him a warning look.

But this seems to be working, so with a shrug, she sits down, slumping into the chair. They really have been traveling nonstop for quite some time now.

Sitting down is kind of nice.]

Thanks, Cap. We'll owe you one if you can get us back home.

[More or less--though that seems to settle it for the Avengers, Bruce and Tony already putting their heads together to sciencebabble at each other.

Bobbi just looks bemused. She didn't know the Hulk and Iron Man were on such good terms--]

[hashtagging]

[ Clint and Natasha, however, are a bit more paranoid than the others. It comes with the territory. Clint plays it friendly, however. ]

So. Just who are you two?

[ Loki gives him a surprisingly innocent smile and offers his hand. ]

I am Billy Kaplan. Codename Wiccan.

[counterterrorism]

[And in contrast, Bobbi just levels a flat look on Clint, flicking her gaze to Natasha and answering in a way that she knows they won't judge her for not revealing her name.]

Agent 19. Codename Mockingbird.

[also loki do you have a crush She's a SHIELD agent (or was) just like them. Forgive her if she doesn't reveal her name so easily.

And Tony rolls his eyes, even if the SHIELD agents look to be understanding.]

Great, more SHIELD spies.

[hashtagging]

They're everywhere, aren't they?

[ As both bird and spider relax, Loki raises his arm to wave at the waiter. ]

How about some tasty food and drink for the newbies?

[ Steve takes a deep drink of his coffee, letting the caffeine continue to wake him up. ]

[counterterrorism]

[her flat look is then transferred to Loki. Excuse you, Loki, this ex-SHIELD agent saved your butt.

but then they eat with the avengers and shenanigans happen and science happens later and

SOMEONE MAKES A BREAKTHROUGH?

either way, they do make it home. magically. and Bobbi just blinks at this New York and. Yes. This does look a bit more familiar.]

Well then. That takes care of that, I think.

[she's not going to think about how she brought villain #7 on the list of scary villains back to her own world.]

[hashtagging]

So it does.

[ Loki bounces on the balls of his heels. He gives Bobbi a little wave and a grin. ]

It has been fun, Mockingbird. See ya!

[ Then he disappears just like the Cheshire Cat, his grin the last thing to vanish. ]
