Who: Lance Hunter and yourself, should you choose to engage!
Broadcast: yes
Action: Marsiva
When: no time like the present!
[ the comm seems to be haphazardly leaning against something, and the image you get is crooked. a sleeping man, who almost instantly awakes with a start. no scream, mercifully, he's quite over screamer videos, and besides, it wouldn't really be that surprising under the circumstances, now, would it? his eyes dart around the room, his feet flying off the cot and touching the ground. the moment he speaks, his accent undeniably and unapologetically identifies him as an englishman. ]
Not again - [ he groans, looking around him. the first time he was knocked out and kidnapped happened because he was foolish, he trusted a friend when clearly he had overestimated the bond, bloody spies, he's had his fill of bloody spies. but this time - he has no idea what happened. one minute, he's in a pod, sailing to freedom and the next - he's in this bed. he must not have deactivated something. do they have a blasted tracker beam on these things? so paranoid! ] Oi, @therealshield, you forgot to paint your eagle - I'm gonna have to deduct your merits - [ no answer. the room really doesn't seem like anywhere his previous captors kept him in, and that's rarely a coincidence. he gets up, and the comm seems to slip off whatever it was leaning against and end up in a new position, one that shows the back of the man, as he walks towards a window. ] ...you have got to be joking.
[ and a moment later ] Bloody aliens!
[ the man comes in and out of the frame, as he's clearly examining his surroundings, before he heads back to check on what he's got by his cot, and notices the comm. picking it up, you now get a close up of his face - ] Little red light - you're either going to explode or - [ that sure looks like a camera, doesn't it? he holds it directly in front of his face. ]
Take me to your leader.

Sure. Let me find my antennae and put on my snake skin first.

Would you? That would be ever so kind.

[His joke about SHIELD got her attention, though she keeps it off her face. Her expression when she opens the video feed is professional, tone cool. Her curiosity tamped down for the moment, at least overtly.]
You have questions?
[It's barely a question.]
video
Care to clarify? [ he has questions. he has so many questions. but even he knows that getting people to talk is better than talking yourself under these conditions. not that he's been under these exact conditions before - usually when he's captured there's more restraint, a dash of physical violence, a dark room...throw some room service in and this might be considered a vacation. ]

It's more prone to record things than it is to explode. [ ... ] Thankfully.

Well, that's reassuring. What are the odds of being struck by lightning twice and then blown up - please don't be one of those people who do the math.

either way, it gets fitz's attention ]
It's just a communication device, actually. Doesn't explode. At least I haven't heard of it happening yet.
[ he goes quiet for a minute to think about that ]
No, no I haven't heard of anything like that yet. Probably not what the audience wants to see anyway. Us going- [ he makes a gesture with his hands to signify an explosion ]

Fitz! Are you a sight for sore eyes, mate - who else they nab? [ when dealing with these abductions, subtlety is always key! ]

[ Kara is sympathetic, though, and trying to project kindness and calmness ]
I think we all are.

[ sorry kara, but he's not much in the mood for that sort of positive spin. now true, some aliens are cool - thor and sif, terrifying but handy, certainly. but the kind that kidnap him? are definitely on his list, and he does not much care to be compared to them. ]

You're out of luck, mate. Apparently the leaders don't care to make themselves known--and the only place you'll wind up going when you get off that bloody ship is onto a smaller one with some confetti thrown in your face.
no subject
So are they, I don't much care for what they care for. [ all he needs is one shot. ] What in the hell is this shit show?

It's the voice elsewhere in the ship that jars her free from these thoughts. Still very unsure, but looking composed, she seeks and finds the room with Hunter. She's sixteen, soon-to-be seventeen—at least she is now that she's no longer at home. Her hair is long, and naturally pink. Her eyes are distinctly violet and she carries herself as if she's still wearing an elaborate gown.]
Hello?
[Her accent is a little unclear, but it sounds more or less American, but without being able to identify a specific region.]
[action]
-- it's a teenage girl with pink hair. is this a joke? or a test? because if this girl is who's keeping the rest of them prisoner cute or not, he will kill her if it gets them out. it's not just him he has to worry about now, it's fitz, too. ]
Hello. [ he frowns at her, waiting for her to make her move. ] And who the bloody hell are you?

Shortly after his broadcast finishes, a young woman is nearing him, skidding to a stop from a sprint. She takes a breath and begins speaking.]
Do you know where we are?
[Introductions can come in a moment, she thinks.]

he's not entirely sure if he has a right to ask, anyway. he wants to - but then, demanding answers as captain america was one thing.
regardless of his size, he's no longer captain america. ]
Have they briefed you already?
video »
rest assured though, steve, that hunter would react badly to having answers demanded of him by anyone in any size. he's an equal opportunity pain in the backside. ]
I got a lot of gists, still looking for the details.

Right. I don't think "leader" is the word you're looking for.

Oh? Do enlighten me. How would our abductor supreme like to be referred to? I wouldn't want to be rude.
