[Locked to SHIELD]

Barton, Coulson. Pack your things, you're being reassigned.

Natasha - report.

[/lock]

[He hadn't turned the feed on. He knew he hadn't. He had no intention of talking to anyone from that crazy-ass place that had made him live through his own death... by the hands of one of his trusted Agents no less... but the community has other ideas. The feed cuts in on him staring at another screen, reading over reports. But it's not long before he sighs, killing the screen with a keystroke and leaning back in his seat. He pinches the bridge of his nose, trying to kill the headache that had been lingering for the past few days. If he notices the feed he's pointedly ignoring it because he stands and walks out of the room.

The video follows him, however, cutting in on an underground gym. Fury's changed into sweatpants and a black t-shirt and is currently taking out his aggression on a heavy bag. His eye turns to the feed for a moment and narrows in disgust before turning back to the bag.]

[the_right_push]

New Mexico. Though hopefully it'll be significantly less exciting than the last time you were there.

[Neither is Fury's, nope. Not one bit.]

[arches]

Great. More mud.

When should I leave?

[doyoufondue]

[ And here's that captain of yours, pulling along about ten bags with him to bring in there. Yes. Ten. He needs ten punching bags. They need to upgrade how long these things last.

He stops a little ways in and gives Fury a surprised look ]

Couldn't sleep? [ ha..ha.. ]

\o/

[the_right_push]

[They're working on that. It's not often they come across someone who can PUNCH ONE IN HALF.

He stops and turns, grabbing the bag with one hand to stop it's movement.]

Something like that.

[doyoufondue]

[ He can't help it if the bags can't handle his muscles. :C
nodding with Fury's answer ]

Yeah, I get you. [ he pauses and motions back the way he came ] I could come back later? [ and not interrupt fury's potential alone time ]

You know, ignoring it tends to make it work harder.

[the_right_push]

[He looks up. Oh look, someone he actually wanted to talk to]

So I've been told. [He steps away from the bag to grab a water bottle] How's life after college, Darcy?

[video]

[6collegecredits]

Oh, you know. Pretty chill, aliens and crazy internet communities aside.

[Video - Locked]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Understood, sir. Where's the new assignment?

[Video - Locked]

[the_right_push]

New Mexico. I'm putting you and Clint on the Tesseract project.

[Video - Locked]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

I'll get my things together. [Though he is curious.] The Tesseract... Have there been any recent developments on that?

[video]

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

Long day?

[video]

[the_right_push]

[Sigh. Why the fuck do people keep bothering him? He doesn't even look over]

You could say that.

[video]

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

[Close the video sooner then, pal.]

We all have those and the community enjoy making them worse.

[howbadcanibe]

Ignoring it never works, I'm afraid.

[the_right_push]

[His eye turns to the feed]

So I've been told. Forgive me if I choose not to blindly follow all information given to me through a glorified chat room with a mind of its own.

[rockstark]

[funny enough, Tony's feed cuts in on him pretty much doing the same thing.

what. Pepper needed Happy to drive her somewhere, he lost his sparring partner.

he only looks up when he stops to catch his breath and chug some water ... and realizes that the pounding noises didn't stop with him. oh. well, that's new. and he seems to recall not having heard from Fury at all after - well -

the history that never happened. it's odd, the whole thing is, and he'd hoped beating things up would help him feel better about it. but seeing Fury, well, it makes him realize that if this guy was connected to the community, then the possibility of all that happening for real is, well, very real.]

So was that a friend of yours?

[the_right_push]

[Tony's voice brings Fury out of the zone he'd been in. Even though it all feels like some bad dream he can still remember working with Tony on the resistance, everything they'd done. ... not to mention the end result.

He holds the bag to stop its swinging and looks over. It's a moment before he responds as he lets his heartrate slow.]

If you're referring to the events of the past few days- No. It wasn't.
