Who: Sharon Carter and OTA What: Return from a canon update When: Friday morning (slightly backdated... around breakfast time) Where: Portal Room Warning: Mentions of physical distress, disorientation, possible foul language Status: Open, In Progress Note: This is Sharon's soft canon update from Bonus activity in September.
Around 3am on Friday, October 8th, Sharon woke. Her heart was pounding, her body broke out in a sweat. She felt like she might vomit. Something felt wrong. Was it a panic attack? How could someone wake with a panic attack? As soon as the world came into clear focus around her, Sharon started to sit up... but black encroached her vision. Her body went weak, limp. As she fell back down against the pillow, the panic subsided. She gave in to the darkness, the unconsciousness. It was inevitable. She couldn't fight it.

A little more than five years later, Sharon Carter had been shot. She'd been shot by Karli Morgenthau, though she'd taken out the bitch shortly after. Leaning heavily against Bucky Barnes, in a considerable amount of pain, Sharon limped along. No hospitals. She was on US Soil, and they'd come for her. The fugitive. The one who'd stolen and reappropriated government property oh-so long ago. She'd never been forgiven. So she'd created her own, new, double-life.
But a few steps later, and Bucky wasn't there. The world wasn't there. It had gone from nighttime to daylight, and she'd gone from outside to indoors. The bright light of the room was blinding, and the lack of Bucky for support left Sharon off-balance. Disoriented and confused, she stumbled and fell to the floor, landing hard on the hip that had just been shot. She cried out in pain as she landed. What the fuck was going on?
