We should talk.

[concitus]

Have you seen Natasha? Or my sister? I have been through this whole thing, but I did not see either of them in here.

[recruited]

Haven't been looking. I don't know if the version of your sister you're used to is here, but I know of another one. It's kind of complicated.

[ He remembers meeting another Pietro on Atia. Similar to this one, but at the time Steve didn't have the proper memories to engage the kid. Seeing him now after so much time and what happened makes him feel weird. ]

You okay?

[concitus]

She is not my sister. I have spoken to her already.

I am fine, but I will be better when I find Wanda, Natasha, and my friends. I have not seen you in some time. I hope you are well.

[recruited]

Fair enough.

[ Though if Pietro spent five minutes with her he'd realize the bond and the connection was exactly the same. Like spooky in the similarities. ]

I'm sure Wanda'll turn up. Natasha too. She'll let you know when she wants to be seen. [ That's just Natasha though. ] I'm okay. What about? [ Subtle hinting about his death. ]

[concitus]

Natasha owes me a bit more than letting me know when she wants to be seen. If she is here then she will let me know.

[ Before Wanda showed up on Orsus a few days ago, Natasha and Pietro were sort of all each other had. He'd made a couple of friends, as had Natasha, but Pietro's trust only ran so far. Natasha's even less so. Largely, they stuck together and went it alone. ] Oh...yes, well, it was unpleasant. Arva healed me for her project. I am fine now.

[recruited]

[ That's a weird sentence, but he lets it go. Steve knows better than anyone that being in another world can sometimes change dynamics and relationships. For a while Natasha slept on his couch when Bucky and Tony were still in the apartment. Once those two moved into a room together Nat got the empty room. Banner was on the couch for a while and then Thor. ]

Getting riddled with bullets is pretty unpleasant. I know that much. [ Steve's been shot, stabbed, burned, attacked and brutalized more times than he can count sometimes. ] Good. What or who is Arva?

[concitus]

To say the least, but Natasha told me that Clint and the child survived, so I do not mind.

Arva...she was goddess, collecting volunteers to start new society.

[recruited]

They did. They're both happy and healthy. Named after you and Nat. Of course he's a little hellion.

[ He hopes that one day he could reunite Clint with his family after everything. ]

Sounds like she was a much better Goddess than the one I met.

...oh my god.

oh my god.

do you know emma peel???????????????????????????

[She's so excited she can't even capitalize.]

[recruited]

👍

I don't know any Emma's. Sorry.

[ranfromnormal]

But you were an Avenger!! How could you not?

[recruited]

Um. This could be another world kind of thing. I used to be an Avenger, but there wasn't anyone named Emma. But there could be another world with the Avengers and there might be one there?

[ranfromnormal]

...I guess. But Avengers are Avengers so that still makes you pretty rad.

Hey, if you're not an Avenger anymore does that mean there's an opening? Because I am pretty handy in a fight, let me tell you.

[recruited]

[ He's gonna have to check with Wanda and see if there was someone named Emma on his team in her world. ]

I guess so. Probably a lot of openings. I think you may be waiting a while though to get in. They're having a few problems.

[ranfromnormal]

Nothing like fresh blood and an outsider's perspective to shake things up and whip it all back into shape then, right? Better to strike while the iron's hot and all of that, I figure.

Oh! Oh! Maybe the reason you don't know Emma yet is because she's not an Avenger yet. This could be some sort of timey-wimey thing where you're from earlier in the timeline than me! When are you from? Is it before 1965?

[recruited]

I don't think that'll work.

[ Tony probably isn't trusting anyone new that comes close to the team. Especially after everything that just happened. ]

After. Very after. 2016.

[ranfromnormal]

Really? After 2016 and you've never heard of Emma Peel?

[GASP.]

Oh my god what if you're from a weird and terrible world where Emma Peel was never an Avenger??

[smoak]

👍

Friendship!

[ Because oh god she can't fathom the idea of even trying to date Captain America. And yes, god, Felicity knows it's not an option, but even the cuddle buddy part. Just. ]

And congrats on the engagement!

[recruited]

👍

Thank you! Here's hoping we can plan a wedding on a strange abduction vacation spot.

[smoak]

Oh I'm sure it'll be completely fine- [ Captain America? Captain Rogers? Mr. Rogers? Oh god what should she- ] Steve.

[ Excuse Felicity for a moment while she severely regrets her decision-making skills. STEVE? What was she thinking. What is she now, on a first name basis with the Avengers? Keep it together. ]

[recruited]

I mean it could be worse.

[ It takes Steve a few minutes to click on who he's talking to right now. But eventually he catches up and realizes it's Felicity. Felicity as in the same Felicity he had sex with in a bookshop. Whoa. Now it's awkward. ]

Felicity?

[smoak]

[ Oh god Steve, please don't tell her that story. She can't handle that kind of information, coming from you. ]

Yes...?

[ There's a second where she almost says "That's my name, don't wear it out!" but is ... extra happy that she doesn't tack that on. Saying something like that is the opposite of keeping it together. ]

[recruited]

[ It's definitely weird. Especially cause the whole situation happened cause a curse hit the island. Kind of making Steve act a little different. ]

I know you. Or rather I knew you. On another island. You ran a bookshop.
