[Hello fellow kidnappies. Wow, that really doesn't sound right even in her head.

Anyway, Kate is figuring out the whole network process here and has decided to put it to good use. 2 birds, 1 arrow or something like that.]

I was thinking. They want us to get to know each other better to help with teamwork and all of that. Which is great, teams take work. Lots of work in some cases.

So, I was thinking we could play a game to help facilitate things. And not a game like the whole murdery Bingo deal they gave out before. Let's try Two Truths and a Lie. I'll go first and everyone can jump in if they want. I will even allow for questions before you determine your answer.

One: I'm Hawkeye. [Kate that is quite literally your username] Some people have actually called me the world's greatest archer. [modesty, never heard of her]

Two: I found all this stuff [she points the feed toward a table with a shield, a stuffed Superman plushie, and an opalescent stone, gold shot with red, blue, and violet that is threaded onto a leather cord] and I already know who it belongs to, I'm just waiting to give it back.

Three: One of my teammates at home has baby landshark as a pet. She named him Jeff. He's the team mascot.

barnes as in bucky? if so, I mean it is yours depending on what world or time you're from

and I mean Clint's old but I wouldn't say he's middle-aged
you're way off on that one
even he's said I'm better than he is

[counterstep]

( ...what. )

well
not where I'm from
for better or worse

( him? with the shield? that's...very difficult to imagine. but that seems to confirm her guess to be correct. )

hey, he's more middle-aged than you are
but I wouldn't really know the rest since I have no idea who you actually are
no offense.

you know who the shield belongs to, though. unless the lie is that you don't know who all of it belongs to? honestly, I don't know what a landshark really is either, but it sounds ridiculous enough to be real. like bigfoot or aliens.

[notthatstraight]

I'm going to assume different worlds then.

None taken. I still get that a lot at home, even though I've been doing this for a few years now.

Aliens are real. And there's some guy in Canada that goes by Sasquatch. I only had a clue about the shield. It either belonged to Steve, you, or Sam. No idea on the other two.

[counterstep]

yeah

oh ( damn, now he just feels extra bad. )
did you take over for him, then? where you're from

yeah, see? cryptids are probably real too, if you think about it.

I really had the shield? as Cap?

[notthatstraight]

Started out that way. Everyone thought he was dead, so when the Young Avengers formed, Cap gave me his bow and the name. Then he came back, and now we're off and on a team and both use the name.

And yes, it can get confusing.

You did. Costume and all.

[counterstep]

young avengers? how young are we talking here...

confusing sounds like putting it nicely, but then again, I think we're deluding ourselves if we think anything that's happened to our worlds isn't confusing to just about anyone else. super soldiers and super heroes just sounds like a bunch of fiction, and the second you start talking about all the different groups of people separately trying to rule Earth, sometimes at the same time, you've basically got a tangled ball of yarn at that point. and that's not even really including the aliens yet.

seriously? with the stripes and stars and all that? ugh. God, please, never let that happen to me.

[notthatstraight]

Stature was the youngest at 15. Everyone else was 16 or 17 when we grouped up. And no, the Avengers weren't happy about it. Didn't stop us. They eventually realized we were going to do what we wanted and decided to keep an eye on us. Not that we needed it.

Sounds like your version of Earth is just as targeted as mine is. It's all kind of crazy, but that's life.

I think he pulled it off pretty well.

[counterstep]

technically Steve and I were kicking asses together since primary school, so I guess I can't be too mad about that situation... even if Steve was mostly getting his ass kicked, half the time.

yeah, I imagine it'd have to be since you said Young Avengers which means there are Avengers which means SHIELD or some other entity also had the bright idea to start the Avengers initiative which also means bad shit probably happened, like aliens or HYDRA.

it's just hard to picture me going into combat in a spandex Suit. I much prefer tac gear, and I wouldn't be without a gun anyway. where would I even put my gun? or my knives??

[notthatstraight]

there are so many versions of the Avengers, X teams, as well as the Inhumans and Eternals. things had to go down at some point or another.

still used them, just had to use holsters. put your own spin on the name and costume for the time you wore it. did good.

[counterstep]

as is typically the case
that's why I prefer working alone

oh. huh...

( okay, maybe he could dig that. a little. but it does feel wrong. steve entrusted the shield to sam. he shouldn't. steve didn't even want to stick around anymore either, so... )
