>> It's not like they're new dreams.
>> But I'm not getting over it like I should.

[ Text to Arthur Smith ]

>> Hey, you free for dinner?
>> I need an ear.

I don't want him dead. I want him broken.

>> I heard the news.
>> Welcome back, Agent Hill.

There blasts of energy and screams audible in the background, but at a distance.

"Maria?"

"You have anyone back at the lab that can, uh-" Gunfire, and cursing in Russian "lock down the nuclear arsenal. I trust Sydney, I'm not sure I trust the people she's talking to."


Voice Message to Hill and Coulson

>> Don't worry. I'm ready.

Director–

Think we should look into this "ghost" thing? It seems like something up our alley.

– Agent Hill

>> Something I forgot to tell you.
>> And it's kind of big.

>> Come home earlish tonight.
>> I have a surprise.

>> Let's go to dinner.
>> Out.

A fancy invitation is sent out to everyone who is registered on the network and left at their front door. It is a red box with gold ribbon containing a little champagne bottle, bubbles, confetti, a Iron Man & Pepper figurine and the following invitation to a certain wedding:

>> Now that things have settled, I suggest a donut run.
>> On me.

Text to Maria Hill

>> Hoping that first round was in time.
>> And not just because I know you'd kick my ass if it wasn't.

Text to Bruce Banner

>> Give me some good news, buddy.

>> I know we just got back from one crisis, but have either of you looked into this illness yet?
>> I'm asking on a personal front, not on behalf of the Agency. Just to be clear.

Patient charts showing similar symptoms in every case, unidentified suspected virus. Doctors seem to be uncertain about cause or treatment.

Requesting possible dossiers on probable engineers of a biological attack.

[Text to Arthur Smith]

>> Hey.
>> I need a favor.

[Text to Maria Hill]

>> I'm not going out tonight.
>> Feel like shit.

>> You're cheating.
>> That's not fair.

>> Two things.

>> Going to need a leave of absence, ma'am. Probably extended.

[Text to Arthur Smith]

>> How're the ribs?

[Text to Maria Hill]

>> Doing a patrol tonight.
>> Are you okay?
>> I'll be home a little early though. Please talk to me.

>> When you get back, drinks. Stat.
>> And not fun drinks. Forgetting drinks.

[Text to Arthur Smith]

>> What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

[Text to Maria Hill]

>> I bought another pie.
>> Don't judge.

>> Put on the suit, meet me at [address] in forty-five minutes.

Drop everything else I have you working on. We have an incoming spaceship ship meteor something headed our way. We will be working closely with NASA on this one. We need to know what that thing is and what it's doing here.

[OOC: This is the start of the Enterprise plot. The flying object is the Enterprise, but currently it's basically fucking with them and won't stay still long enough for them to figure it out.]

>> You don't know me, but my name is Maria Hill. I'm an FBI agent and the girlfriend a friend of John Blake's.
>> There's been an emergency. I need you to stay inside. Lock your door and your windows. Don't open the door for anyone until I get there and show you my badge. Do you understand?

We need to meet and discuss your little assassin problem.

–Agent Hill

>> I'm assuming I don't need to tell you that I didn't cripple anyone.
>> The broken bones were valid.

[Secure text to Coulson]

>> I need backup at Stark Tower. Stat.

[Secure text to John]

>> If you do not have a tall, stiff drink waiting for me when I get home, I'm going to be very upset.

Have we looked into recruiting Barton and Romanoff yet? Romanoff recently got her uniform from the dreams, and I believe Barton has his bow. They could be valuable assets.

–Agent Hill

Dr. Banner,

My name is Maria Hill. I believe we've met, briefly, at a few of Mr. Stark's gatherings. I'd like to speak with you in person at your earliest convenience.

–Agent Hill

Stark is now an reluctant asset. I'm still wary about using him, but at least now we know he's on our side.

Coulson, I want you to bring in Rogers. Hill, you take the Doctor.

This might be something we should keep an eye on. Queen's been on our radar for a while, but this could be taken as a statement of intent.

–Hill

[To Agent Coulson]
>> You are way too happy on a Monday.
>> What happened?

[To John]
>> Apparently we need to pick a favorite color for this lingerie party thing.
>> Thoughts?

[Encrypted email to Director Bristow]

Ma'am–

Not a lot of progress on the Kerrigan case. I think I may go talk to Raynor in person, with your permission.

I'm also concerned about Stark's Halloween/birthday bash. There's going to be a lot of people there, including (I believe) Dr. Banner. It might be a good idea to have an agent or two in place in case something goes wrong.

– Agent Hill

Encrypted e-mail to Bristow

I've got some information on a rogue, brainwashed CIA agent we should probably look into. I've forwarded you the relevant information.

Text to Uhura
>> So I've been sitting on this for a while and I can't hold back anymore.
>> Why the hell didn't you take the job?

Message to Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton, and Phil Coulson.

So. Loki's shown up, if you weren't aware.

We have a mutual friend who tells me you're trustworthy as all hell, and that's good enough for me.

We've got a situation with a brainwashed CIA agent who is out of control. Shepard tells me the FBI has some agents who specialize in getting these sorts of folks back. And there's no question I want this one back. Let me know the help you need, Agent Hill. Appreciate it isn't a strong enough phrase, but I will owe you one if we can get her off the streets.

» I need you both on the hulk case.
» Meet me at Stark Industries.

>> Rough night.
>> Need somewhere to recover.
>> Might have a concussion.

If Steve has ever called or PMed a character, they're welcome to get this.

>> Hey Bucky.
>> Inviting a girl over to watch the History Detectives.
>> Bad idea, right?

>> Could use your help tonight.
>> Bring ties.

>> djhave tires now
>> kinda needride

>> I need a favor. Jesus what is it with me and asking for fucking favors this week
>> My car has a flat and I need something picked up at Stark Industries. Do you think you could grab it for me?

>> I hate to say this, but I need a favor.

>> What are your plans for this weekend?

>> 9:30pm, Tomorrow Night.
>> Your rooftop.

[Text to Coulson]
>> I'm at [address]. Please come get me.
