[ Well, she was biding her time in hiding to go break some friends out of prison — she hadn't even picked out a color to dye her hair, or a style to cut it, to make herself not as identifiable on first glance — but sure. Planet detour it is. ]

I can't say I've ever had a detour located outside of the Milky Way before.

[ Some dry sarcasm. But also truth; she's never been on another planet, let alone galaxy or universe. ]

I'm going to keep this brief, so let's just get to it: I don't suppose anyone can assure me that governmental agreements and such made in our own worlds don't have any standing here?

[ Asking for a friend and all. (She's the friend.) The question gives away the fact that she's new here, and well, if the Sokovia Accords do have standing here, she's prepared to go way back underground. ]

If any of my friends are here too, I seem to be assigned to a ship called First Breath.

[ Natasha-speak for 'you know where to find me if you need me, and also I want to see you in person ASAP so move your asses over here please and thanks'.

And then she finally, a bit abruptly, cuts the video off. ]

Comments

[it's a text! but it does seem to be from Tony Stark. Can that be trusted...?]

[in_extremis]

No one's going to be able to extradite you to Russia from here, if that's what you're worried about. I'll be sure to let you know when we get close.

Russia is the least of my concern right now; it's the players on the other side.

[ Other side as in primarily the West. Ross is really salty ok. ]

But it is good to know that I don't have to do all that explaining to border agents right now.

[ As if she'd enter a country in a way that would make her detectible to border agents, ha. ]

[in_extremis]

[Other side? She didn't exactly look young enough to be playing for the KGB right now, but maybe the video had been misleading.]

You never invite me to any of your games anymore. Am I missing something fun? Tell me it would at least be more fun with me around.

[obmanchivyy]

Considering our rift, it probably wouldn't be fun. I would have expected you to have tracked my device location by now.

[ Mistaken identity (sorta), whoops. ]

Video Message (Ten Minutes Later)

[Well her face isn't FULLY familiar, but before he responds Tommy checks the crew listings, her name on the network thanks to being unable to avoid it, and smirks. Wow, this is a catch.]

I suppose I'm going to have to ask what sorta agreements? Like, whether you're a card carrying Avenger or something here? Pretty sure the motto is 'once an Avenger, always an Avenger, except those few times when heroes do stupid shit like go to war over really horrible laws trying to take away secret identities and make us puppets of the man'. It's too long to fit on the ID actually.

[Enjoy someone whose hair is growing out enough at the moment that perhaps his resemblance to a late super hero might be more notable than it might otherwise have been, especially with how fast he's talking.]

[obmanchivyy]

Oh god, I definitely nuked any form of my Avenger status. [ The comment about the ID does make her laugh, though. Too long for an ID, true, but an accurate title anyway. ] I went back on one of those dumb laws; I'd say it's a long story, but you sound like you've already lived something like it.

[doubled_speed]

[Did she now? Interesting.]

Yeah, the Super Hero Civil War, over the Registration Act. I was on the smart side with Cap, you know the one where you realize the Man doesn't care about you and giving ANYONE your secret identity would get people killed.

But that's in the past and none of that shit applies here. Welcome to the party, you're still an Avenger if you were, and that's my stance on it. If they can still take Pietro after all the shit he's done, then standing up for ACTUAL ideals ain't gonna take it away.

[Lauri had not actually received the audio call, too busy actually walking to the First Breath and then climbing onto the ship with her bag of laundry over her shoulder. She had left it on her to do list before the nightmare had come over Temba and now that it was gone and the world was back to normal, she had returned, and was going to get the laundry started before checking on people.

She did not expect to board and see a person there.]

Excuse me. Hello. Are you new?

[obmanchivyy]

I am, yeah - both to the planet, not just the ship. [ She offers a small smile. ]

I'm Natasha Romanoff. [ They don't exactly have "HI MY NAME IS___" stickers. Not that she's been given, anyway. ] Hi. I'm guessing you're not new?

[kree_soldieress]

[Ah, that makes some sense. Lauri-Ell, towering alien woman, lowered her bag of clothing to the ground, and offered out her hand.]

I am Accuser Lauri-Ell of the Kree. I am not new. I have been here some months. My greetings to you.

[ There's a face he recognizes. However, he's not really sure how to go about answering as he's not sure she'd even recognize him and he's also pretty sure Tony didn't mention that his recruit was a fourteen and a high school freshman. Peter hates being treated like a fragile little but even he knows that the decision didn't really sound like a great plan. In Hindsight. ]

[ He opts for audio so she won't see his face just yet but may recognize his voice. It's a good start, he thinks. That way she won't be able to see exactly how young he is. ]

Y-

[ He starts to open his mouth but the words get stuck in his throat. Ahem. Let's try that again. ]

You wouldn't happen to be talking about the Sokovia Accords would you? 'cuz I'm pretty sure they don't have any jurisdiction here.

...looking around I'm pretty sure nothing has much jurisdiction here. Yet.

return audio

[obmanchivyy]

I am in fact talking about the Sokovia Accords. [ She at least does know the voice. ] Hopefully they stay far away from us here.

[ She is not in the mood for any accords related bullshit. ]

And there's probably a joke about the arachnids of the group being dropped in here but I have way too much planet travel lag to make it.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Oh hey, you remember me! That's Awesome.

[ Black Widow actually knows who he is! Or knows who Spider-man is. Which would be way more awesome if he wasn't stranded on an alien planet with exactly 0 ideas on how to get home. ]

I haven't been here long either but I seriously doubt the accords are gonna ever be a problem here.

...

I've been wrong before though so, you know, don't quote me on that.

[ audio ]

[beholding_archivist]

What governmental agreements would you be worried about?

[ You know, just asking. ]

return audio

[obmanchivyy]

The kinds that mean you're high priority. Do Sokovia Accords mean anything to you?

[beholding_archivist]

I am familiar with the country and its history, but my version of Earth never had these accords.

Has anyone mentioned that a version of you has been present in this city not too long in the past?

[Video]

[out_of_order]

I'm pretty sure we're well out of the jurisdiction of any known government influence, here. Whatever possible problems you might be trying to avoid are likely to be the least of your concern.

[obmanchivyy]

Good, because those were a mess. However, any hints on what my new problems are going to be?

[out_of_order]

That gets a little more complicated outside of the basic survival concerns. The timing of your arrival is probably fortunate considering...

[He shakes his head.]

I'm not even sure how to explain the past week or so. Things get weird here now and then, but usually they're related to the storms. Did you get that rundown already?

[burnyoudown]

[He could have been in a better mood. He really could have. But he wasn't in the worst mood, either. Either way, he couldn't resist replying to a pretty face. Even if he had a boyfriend.]

You've been abducted by aliens, babe. I don't think any governmental agreements or laws apply here.

[He paused for a moment, tilted his head.]

Pretty sure shit like murder is still frowned upon though.

[How did that relate to what he'd said previously? He just had a little murder on the mind was all.]

[obmanchivyy]

You never know. They could be sneaky and hold us to past standards, but that's a relief. At least in this case.

[ She can't help but give a slight hu of laughter at the part about murder. ]

I'm cutting back on my murders, so lucky me twice in a row.

[ She says it like she's joking, but also in a serious kinda way. it's probably fine. ]

[burnyoudown]

I don't know how much they actually know about the worlds they bring people from.

[Assuming that everyone came from different places. Or well, not everyone, but there was a lot of world diversity, it seemed.

He laughed.]

Yeah, me too. Maiming is more fun, anyway.

Video

[usedtobesmoller]

[Steve is getting much better at this. His face only takes up half the screen at first as he still pushes strange buttons, even after the camera is live. Finally he pulls back and smiles. ]

Hi there, ma'am. You mentioned the Milky Way so I am gonna assume you're from Earth too? I don't know if 'welcome' is the right way to greet you, but welcome all the same.

The name is Steve Rogers. If I can do anything to help you get settled, just let me know.

[obmanchivyy]

[ OH MY GOD THAT TOMMY PERSON WAS ACTUALLY DEAD-ASS SERIOUS and it IS pre-serum Steve. This day just got 100 x better. Keep a straight face, keep a straight face, keep a straight face. ]

Earth, yeah. Mine's kind of a mess, but definitely an earth.

[ She nods slightly. ] You can call me Natasha — or Nat. Romanoff. [ Any version of Steve, whether he knows her yet or not, gets 'Nat' rights. That and she slouches in chairs too much, drinks people under the table too much, and swears too much to feel fancy-lady enough for 'ma'am'. ]

Thanks, though, I'll probably take you up on it - have you been here long?

Showing up late but OMG THE ICON.

[usedtobesmoller]

Not as long as some people. I've met some guys 'round here that have been on this planet for years. Compared to that I'm the new guy off the boat.

Not as new as you though, ma'a- Natasha. [ No 'Nat' yet. His ma raised him right. He has to be respectful and polite to ladies. ]

It hasn't been all that bad, though. No pizza or dance halls to be had, but I've seen worse.
