( The moment the alarms went off, Phil Coulson was in motion. )

[TONY STARK]

Don't fuck up the couch.

[Memo: Tower Residents, SHIELD, Avengers, etc]

On behalf of SHIELD, I'd like to express my sincerest gratitude to the Avengers for their hospitality and support these past few months while we regrouped. In particular, the assistance and resources offered by Tony Stark and Stark Industries have been of immeasurable assistance. However, now that we are back on our feet, it seems best to leave the Tower so that we can continue our mission of protecting the public.

Should you need us, you know how to reach us.

[SHIELD]

Wheels up at high noon.

Let's try not to burn any bridges. We may need them in the future.

[Bobbi Morse]

Do you have everything you need?

[Sitwell + May]

It seems the first mission was a success. Anything new to report from your end?

[Nick]

We're leaving the Tower before Stark turns us into a sacrificial lamb. Rogers passed on the chance to dismantle us a second time. We'll be in touch.

WHO: SHIELD
WHEN: Sunday, Jan 4, noon
WHERE: SHIELD floor. Surveillance technology disabled.
WHAT: Deciding the future.

Given all the Avengers drama recently and a diplomatic eviction notice from one American hero, it may be time for SHIELD to say goodbye to the Tower. Because no one likes staying in a dysfunctional relationship.

(And for everyone to check in / voice any concerns)

Comment in the various sub-threads with what your character does/says. Go IC as necessary, if you want.

[ TOWER RESIDENTS/AVENGERS ]

I haven't been around for Christmas since 1944. So thanks.

[ STEVE ]

You were right. All it needed was a good shock.

[Skye]

New Task: There's been a raid on old SHIELD storage facility in the frozen north. I need all evidence of it wiped from servers - including military servers. How quickly can you do that?

[May, Fury, Barton, Romanoff]

Good work, today. Any hiccups I need to know about before we debrief?

Suggestions on how to proceed with Rhodes?

[PRIVATE]

Reasons to stay in SHIELD

Fighting the 'good' fight

Family, people I love, people that need me

Structure, purpose

Reasons to run away forever

Coulson goes batty, and yet I'm the one who gets the shackles

It's my dad. I wanted to see.

There is absolutely zero percent trust in me or my abilities

Running is easy. I know how to run.

[SAM]

I'm going to get you a really ugly sweater for Christmas.

[WARD]

So, living in this place and having everybody not trust you. That's interesting.

[TONY]

Best couch ever.

WHO: Skye & Tony
WHEN: After Skye returns from impromptu visit with Dad.
WHERE: Tower, Tony's labs.
WHAT: "You're not a monster, Skye." He looked at her. "Sins of the father -- it doesn't work like that."

“Yeah it does, Tony. We’re sitting inside yours and I’m living inside mine. It sucks, but it does. And we can’t escape it, but bully for trying.”

( Something tells me I’m a little more Frankenstein anyway, so that’s cool. )

Sony, btw, does not use Stark Server Technology.

[Filtered to Steve and Sharon]
Stark let it slip that you might have a lead on the bullet proof girl. Any truth to it?

[Filtered to Jemma]
I just wanted to touch base. See how you are.

[Filtered to Skye]
You okay, girl?

WHO: May & Skye
WHERE: Avengers Tower
WHEN: After Skye returns to the tower with Raina in tow, following this. A bit backdated before the Coulson Crazy Time Cure of building his 3D city.
WHAT: Skye comes back from AWOL. May is decidedly not happy.
STATUS: In progress
___

( She was very angry. )
