WHEN: Friday Nov 21
STATUS: In progress thread


PART I
Who Raina & Coulson
What: Just coffee and Coulson trying to get information
Where: Birch Cafe 97th & Columbus


May would kill him. But after last night, well, he'd handle May. She didn't understand. None of them did. Not fully, at least. Not to the level in which it made Coulson doubt what he was doing, what he was. Which is why he was heading across town to meet Raina. He'd slipped into a cab - Lola was too noticeable - and taking it up to Birch Cafe, close to Central Park and far enough away from the Tower to give him some time with Raina. He'd left his phone at the Tower, so unless Fitzsimmons had put a tracker in his tie, he was fairly certain he was untrackable.

Until he noticed the tail. A bike courier that seemed just a bit out of place. Fury. Well. He trusted Fury to stay out of the way. Going into the coffee shop, he he ordered a cafe americano before taking a seat by the window, his back to the corner so he could see the entire cafe (and so no one could sneak up on him from behind). Spotting the familiar curly hair, he stood up, ever the gentleman (well, when he wasn't interrogating HYDRA agents).

WHO: Raina & "The Doctor"
WHAT: Raina has agreed to a meeting. The Doctor's been spying and isn't pleased.

throwing this up now to fill in after i've finished my homework.

[Fury]

So.

[Ward]

I need everything you can tell me about Garrett's demise.

I assume Tony communicated the change in your liberties.

[Raina]

Talk.

[ JEMMA ]

[ address of a climate controlled storage container ]

Every three weeks. I promise no miracles but hopefully limited side effects.

[ SKYE ]

We've arrived. Whenever you're ready, meet me at this address, and I'll take you to him.

WHEN: November 1st; Late Evening
WHERE: their Manhattan lab
RATING: PG-13
STATUS: Narrative; COMPLETE

( And Raina was left having to make good on the deal she had promised.  )

It's weird, isn't it? Watching the world change so suddenly. I mean, Avengers notwithstanding. And aliens.

That's just all weird. That's the macrocosm.

But on the everyday. Where the rubber hits the road? One minute you're living in a van and the next, you're not living in a van. I mean, I'm clearly not living in a van. I miss my van.

[RAINA]

So if he wants to see me so much, where is he.

I'm going to turn into a monster and kill all of you
You should lock me up, that would be the most responsible thing we could all get out of this
that's probably for the

Uhhhhhhhhhhh hi.

[GRANT WARD]

Compartmentalization.

[MAY]

Ballfucking damn f

You know, the guns and stuff. Those are great. And learning how to direct anger is great.

But disengaging? HELP. Also if you need help, I can teach you about oh, I don't know.

Candy Crush? Two Dots?

Two Dots is great.

[RAINA]

Does this actually work?

What you said you could do for Fitz. How?

[ LEOPOLD FITZ ]

Hypoxia is a nasty little thing, isn't it? So many effects, so varied, none of them really controllable in the way that you would like. Has the frustration been mounting? How something that used to be so simple to you is now a near impossibility?

I could help, you know. The damage might not be reversible to your average doctor, but with the things I've been able to manage? I'm sure Stark's resources would give me more than enough to work with.

All you have to do is ask.

[ TEXT MESSAGES TO PHIL COULSON ]

✉ I do hope you realize that was not the way I wanted things to go down.
✉ I had expected Quinn to sacrifice our lackies as a distraction.
✉ Not utilize your own weakness against you.
✉ But I suppose I should have realized it was a possibility.
✉ At least tell me the antidote was recovered in time.

[ TEXT MESSAGES TO AUDREY NATHAN ]

✉ I am sorry, my dear.
✉ This was not how I had hoped you would find out.

[ TEXT MESSAGES TO SKYE ]

✉ He's still prepared to meet.
✉ If you haven't changed your mind.

WHO: Skye & Raina
WHERE: Avengers Tower, Floor 60
WHAT: TBD, but basically creeptastically awesome fer shure.
WHEN: Before.
STATUS: In progress.

***

Access to Floor 60 wasn't necessarily unfettered -- Skye knew JARVIS logged her visits, and moreover reported them with any of its contents to Tony -- but that didn't bother her. With Tony's power to access any electronic feed via his mind, there really wasn't anything worth keeping from him. She entered easily enough and, moving past Ward with a sharp can't of her gaze, she stopped in front of Raina.

"What, no floral jump suit? What a crying shame."

When:Sunday night, August 10
Where:Raina's place, Portland, Oregon
