<sub>( You know how the network has a lovely habit of ending up places it doesn’t belong? Today that is becoming a matter of interdimensional security. Because what is being broadcast is coming from a computer in a secret laboratory called Project PEGASUS. It’s a dark, cavernous room, filled with high tech equipment and either dead or unconscious scientist and SHIELD agents. There’s a light blue smoke coiling around everything. And there are four people you should be paying attention to—Dr. Erik Selvig, Director Nick Fury, Agent Clint Barton, and everyone’s favorite zombie god, Loki.


The tessaract, a small blue cube pulsing with power, is at the center of the scene. But for now watch as Barton tries to take out Loki. This doesn’t really work, and instead this happens: )



( Yes, Loki takes his ominous scepter and taps Barton’s chest with it. What did that do, exactly? Well, you don’t get to know. Because the feed cuts out shortly after that. It comes back a few minutes later, to this: )









( There’s the sound of a shot being fired a few moments later. And then, nothing. )</sub>

[ THE FUCK IS THAT

THE FUCK ARE YOU

THE FUCK IS HAPPENING ]

AUDIO; encrypted to clint

[widowing]

[ when natasha eventually does respond, her voice is being very, very carefully controlled to keep from wavering or sounding too angry. ]

Barton?

[kittyhell]

[Well, now this explains a lot.]

[arches]

You have something to say, lady? Or are you just going to stare some more?

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

...

[trickstering]

If you've something to say, say it.

[glaived]

Oh for the love of the gods.

[arches]

That's kind of an arrogant thing to say, considering how you're thought of here.

[rockstark]

[well, that didn't take long at all. Fury looks like he's got more than enough hired help to deal with the issue at hand, though, so Tony will just ... keep working on his own stuff for the moment

like

um

the Mark VII.

and that tower thing

have fun while you can, Loki, seriously, dude. winter is coming]

[trickstering]

[You win or you die, Stark.

Spoilers: you're a stark.]

[hulk]

...Oh hell, not this aga- [ IS IT A VIRUS? IS IT S.H.I.E.L.D. FINALLY GETTING KARMA? IS-- Shit, that's Selvig. Shit. ] Erik? <i.Erik!

voice

[rockstark]

[okay, this is relevant and he can be vaguely assed to care. still not looking up from the other monitor where he's working on blueprints]

You know one of those guys?

[the_right_push]

[DUDE DID YOU HAVE TO SHOOT HIM?! Clint he did not put you on this detail so you could shoot him. If you weren't brain washed you'd be SO FIRED.

He's just, uh, gonna go get in his motherfucking helicopter.]

[arches]

<sub>( Dude your head was a giant ass target.

And guess what? He didn't aim there.

So thank your lucky stars, boss man. )</sub>

[likethetragedy]

[Welp looks like Loki really liked that bad end virus. Too bad; Clint and Dr. Selvig seemed like such cool guys.

Elektra will be hanging out in Christopher Nolan movies if anyone needs her.]

[arches]

_{( Yes, get out before the bad end. Be the smart one here. )}

[nofondueforyou]

What did you do?

[arches]

Who exactly are you directing that comment at?

[wormhole]

[ i would've rocked that car case if i was there fyi. it would've been like mario kart.

can you come pick me up ]

[arches]

_{( but the important question here is: who is your character when you play mario kart? )}

[antibadstuff]

No chance someone's going to toss a little narration out to the rest of us trying to decide if we're in the peanut gallery or not? I mean, I can kinda tell who the bad guy is which is confusing because he's the only one here who I actually know and last time we talked? Didn't seem that bad to me.

[ Hey, all the bad reveal-y stuff happened while she was saving the world or dead. For the most part she's avoided looking back since at least 2-3 people she knew "died" while she was dead and then the bad end virus? Not something she remotely wanted to face with anyone. Which means the last time she saw Loki was a pretty pleasant conversation and her big question is basically what the fuck is going on? ]

[arches]

_{( Unfortunately, Clint has secretarial duties tonight. And even more unfortunately, he's not much of a narrator. )}

You really don't need to worry about it.

[schrodingersghost]

Okay, that so does not look good.

[arches]

It actually turned out just fine. _{( /kanyeshrug. )}

[notmyfirstrodeo]

[Mother fucker. If Coulson weren't so damn busy organizing a mass evacuation before alien technology explodes and devours everything, he'd find this sneak peak into what he was missing downright infuriating.

Instead he's terrifying.] Sir? Barton?

[arches]

The concept of I'm busy is really escaping everyone today, isn't it?

( video )

[descry]

You've mislabelled the graves. They'll never find him there.

( video )

[the_right_push]

[Fury looks over at the feed]

I'm not dead, yet. It'll take more than that to kill me.

[doyoufondue]

[ WHY THE HELL IS THAT THING OUT OF THE OCEAN ]

[arches]

_{( blame mr stark )}

[leucotomy]

[ idk if she's interpreting this right. loki was getting his thing back and it's a little hard to tell who's killing who here. hawkeye didn't get killed and loki complimented him with that heart line then said 'please' at fury so he's being nice.

fury's the bad guy, right? ...go team loki? ]

What's the cube do?

[arches]

It's like a door.

_{( That is, incidentally, about all he knows about it. )}

LATE BUT YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING AND I LOVE YOU OKAY? ALSO, VIDEO;

[6collegecredits]

[Oh hey. Darcy is busy evacuating because some jerkwad just broke in and messed with the tessaract. FIRST WEEK ON THE JOB AND EVERYTHING. Thanks a lot, jerkwad.]

Oh you have got to be kidding me. You know, I really shouldn't be surprised that you were involved in this. [all aimed at that jerkwad loki, of course.]

Clint, hey. Are you okay?

<3!

[arches]

_{( the response, a little delayed: )}

I'd be better if Hill hadn't just tried to run me over.
