spacebattlesWHO • STEVE ROGERS (starspangle) & NATASHA ROMANOFF (breakables)
WHERE • random corridor on deck 2
WHEN • june 4
WHAT • new ex-avenger arrivals show up and things get a little scary
WARNINGS • none yet
[ The first thing he notices is the cold.
His eyes shoot open at around the same time that he gasps for air, like he'd been drowning up until this point. He has no idea why his skin feels cold, why his body is taut and tense with the chill of the air, why there's a crick in his neck like he'd landed on it funny.
When he straightens, it's with a sudden movement, and then he's scanning his surroundings with the strategic care (and a little panic) of a soldier stuck in an unknown location, groaning when he rubs the back of his head and then his neck. ]
Where the hell -
[ Where the hell, indeed.
Steve Rogers sits up and when he looks to his left, he's relieved at least, to find his friend and partner, Natasha Romanoff, beside him. She looks to be unconscious but the rise and fall of her chest is a blessed indication that she's alive. That's the important part. The rest can follow after.
He gets to his feet with careful motions, feeling the slow ache in his muscles as they begin to wake up, reminding him that whatever happened probably didn't happen gently. When he rolls his shoulders, they crack with the tension. It's dark in here and they're standing (or lying, in Natasha's case) on a grill that echoes with every step he takes, his boots suddenly the loudest instruments in the world. There's a row of dim, flickering lights from this end of the corridor to the other end but no activity otherwise. This looks like a ship, and an abandoned one at that, but he doesn't remember getting on board any ship before this. He doesn't remember being kidnapped either.
Satisfied that they seem to be alone for the moment, Steve bends down to gently shake Nat's shoulder. ]
Natasha.
[ His voice is soft but he can still hear the echo of it bouncing against the metal walls. He can see his breath coming out in a cloud of fog. They'll freeze if they stay here for long. ]
Natasha, wake up.

Of course, between Steve and Natasha, they'll probably be able to handle it. ]
Are you as foggy as I am about the details before waking up here?

Date: 2017-07-02 10:30 pm (UTC)But her lips give a little uprising twitch, helpless when it comes to exchanging words with Steve Rogers.
Pressing a hand to her ribcage, she feels a slight bruising but she straightens her body nonetheless, giving a slight vocal groan. ] I think it's safe to say that we didn't come here in a box labeled "fragile". [ Shaking her head, she takes a breath. ] Last I remember, I was back at the base. Had a warm, comforting conversation with Tony, as we do, and was making my way out. Blank slate after that.

Date: 2017-07-05 05:29 am (UTC)[ Steve repeats, nodding. He gets that; he can definitely relate. There are things he remembers, right up until the moment where everything - yeah, blanks out.
He rubs the spot between his eyes, taking a moment to consider their circumstances.
He's glad, anyway, to see Natasha - that much he can be sure of. He had no real way of tracking her location without seeking some external help, and it'd been some time. He didn't, of course, because she deserved her own time away from the mess that followed his and Tony's fight, Bucky's escape, and the not-quite-legal rescue mission to Triskelion. But he wondered about her. Worried a little, even.
He didn't want her to be alone. ]
Well, now we're here and I've got a sneaking feeling we were brought here by someone or something we've never dealt with back home. Finding answers might pose to be a challenge.

Date: 2017-07-06 07:04 pm (UTC)And as determined as Steve and his group had been, she'd been the reason they couldn't stay together in the end. Even if she'd let him and Bucky go, the rest didn't have the same luck.
And where was Bucky, if he wasn't with Steve?
She raises a brow, a helpless huff slipping in response. ] Challenge, Rogers? I hope you're not worried. [ Challenges were her thing. ]
