Communications

The SHIELD thing you've been dreaming about and Stark and company have mentioned? Might be closer to happening than the congressional things we were starting to petition for.

Agent Bristow, former CIA at 51 is coming in to head up a new agency dealing with all of the strange shit that's been going on. It's her area and her call and I completely trust her and I've recommended both of you to her as people she might want to get in touch with.

Figured this was in both of your interests, but wanted to give a little warning just in case you get a call or message. You CAN trust her and she'll do right by you, and everybody else involved.

>> I put in the order for that living room set you liked.
>> Had some money saved away.
>> Finishing up with meetings now, should be home in an hour.

[Text to Nick Fury & Maria Hill]

>> Clean up should be quick.
>> Boss, we've got to get ready fast.

[Text to Pepper Potts]

>> Are you doing all right, Pepper?
>> I heard you were at ground zero.

Immediately after hanging up with Steve, Hill speed-dials Coulson's number.

Ring, ring.

Agent Mr. Barton,

You do not know me, but my name is Agent Coulson of the FBI. This isn't in regards to any particular case, but I'm wondering if you've had any dreams recently that fit into the patterns described by others?

Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated. Thank you.

Immediately following this, Maria picks up her phone to call her partner. She doesn't care that it's ridiculous o'clock in the morning or that he's probably asleep. She needs to know.

Ring, ring.

>> I need a favor.

So what sorrows are you drowning?

>> Glad to have you back.
>> Up to a stakeout?

>> I had another strange delivery on my desk this morning.
>> Playing cards.

>> I just realized I hadn't checked in with you yet.
>> You and Nienor both okay?

Just got word of two kidnappings. Ambassador's daughter, AND Katherine Pryde. There's a strong likelihood that both are connected. We're gonna need to get in on this one yesterday, quake or no.

>> Are you all right? Please say you're
>> We're secure. Some building damage.

>> I'm bringing home a big dinner.
>> Good day at the office, thought we'd celebrate.

[Maria was already in the car when she called Coulson. It's an FBI vehicle and she was taking full advantage of the sirens and lights, tearing down the street and weaving in and out of traffic.]

Ring ring.

It appears the tip was valid about the trafficking ring.

This is going to take a long time to unravel. Chief, do you want Hill & I tracking the lead or tracking the informant? I doubt highly this is all they know.

>> We're up.

>> I had to go back to the office after dinner.
>> I doubled your detail, just in case. I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to tell you first.

[PM to Tony Stark]

We need to talk about these dreams.

[Text to Coulson]

>>I had more dreams about SHIELD.
>>I've updated the file. There's three dossiers now of what I remember: Banner, Stark, and Rogers.
>>Banner's is causing me some concern.

[Text to Phil]
>>Never thought you'd be leaving bachelor-land before me.

>> Hello, Nienor. It's Phil.
>> I was wondering if you had plans for today.

[Text to Agent Coulson and Director Fury]

>>We may have a situation.

[Text to Tony Stark]

>>"I am Iron Man."
>>Really, Stark?
>>I swear to god you're going to give me an aneurysm.

(The email goes out to everyone with whom Steve has ever had a pleasant interaction. So. Avengers, Pepper, Peggy, Bucky, Coulson, Hill, Fury, Loki and Sif, Orb, Dany, Tyrael, Cinna, Kitty, and Jean. And if I've forgotten someone, please poke at me and I will add them! The PMs are sent through Valarnet, since he probably doesn't have everyone's personal email address.)

((Sent during this log.))

>>I'm cashing in that favor you owe me.
>>I need you to come bail Chief and I and eight other people out of jail.
>>I'm not sure, but they're probably gonna take us down to the 53rd Precinct.

( Fury, Hill, Coulson, and Orb. )

>>So you're now in my phone as 'Agent Jellybean'.
>>Just FYI. It was either that or 'Agent Whale-watcher'.

[Phone call to Agent Coulson]

"We got our Russian friend, Agent Coulson." Maria's voice sounds tired, almost a little out of breath. It's probably just the massive hangover she's been trying to keep at bay since this morning.

[Text to Director Fury]
>>We got the Russian.
>>Bringing him in now.

( Left with the Agent on duty outside her apartment. )

>You are coming out with me tonight.
>I need a wingman.

>> I have a briefing in Los Angeles this afternoon.
>> I need a favor.

>>I had a dream.

Have any of you heard of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division? Or is this some kind of practical joke?

-Hill

[Text to Agent Coulson]
>>Where are you?
>>We've got a lead.

[Phone call to Director Fury]
"Stark's awake, sir."

[Call to Agent Coulson.]

[Placed around lunchtime, after the call came in for this.]

"So four armed guys walk into a donut shop..."

>> We're up.

COULSON
>>Question: you busy tonight?
>>Hint: the answer should be "yes, I'm going for drinks with my kickass partner and her friends."
>>The Cellar, eight o'clock.

LAWSON
>>Up for a little welcome party?
>>First round's on me.
