oo1. [Video; Event; Backdated to Saturday]

[starspangledspandex]

[So bad things are happening on Omega, he's not really surprised. It's not really the type of place that screams 'good place to hang out'. He realizes on his walk back to the apartment that neither Tony or Bruce really have the means to deal with these particular problems.

Both of them will get a ping but the message is going to be open because he has this thing where he has to check on everyone.]

Is everyone--

[There's a roar and Steve dives to the side, camera rolling with him. There's a 'chink' as his shield is pulled from his back and the huge, glowing blue thing that crashes into view is no joke.

Luckily, neither is Steve. The video is an absolute jumbled mess. Steve is lithe and athletic; he uses it to his advantage to stay out of range. Paired with his shield throwing abilities--and what seems to have the ability to defy the very laws of physics themselves--it's hard work, but he banks the shield off some canisters that go boom and down goes the adjutant.

He warily watches it for a moment before he slings his shield over his shoulder. As he addresses his omni-tool again, he keeps glancing up at it.]

Is everyone doing alright? If you need an escort to a safe zone, let me know. Stark and Dr. Banner, I'd stay in the apartment. The streets aren't safe. I'll be back soon.

You're a little late to the party. These things have been around since yesterday, but their numbers weren't as many as this.

[Dun's taking cover behind a column, but Steve should be able to hear the chaos reigning behind him as mercs blast their guns at any moving target, Adjutants and non-Adjutants alike.]

[starspangledspandex]

I saw the announcements. I'm not sure if everyone believed them.

[Translation: people can be stupid. He also needed to check on his team so he figured he'd go ahead and check on everyone else too.]

[anarrowtotheeye]

What idiots.

[There, Dun said it for you. At that moment though, the video shakes as a Blue Sun Heavy fired a missile launcher just to his right. What looks to be just a normal person gets blown up, the body flying and crumpling against the opposite wall. Dun growls; he's hurt civilians before, but it's always, always with a good reason. Right now, those mercs were just firing at anything that moved without thinking.]

If you've got some time, there's some trash that needs to be taken out. It'd save me a lot of time if you could come down here and do something useful for once.

[ Good thing he decided to check on everyone.

There's the view of a group of dead mercs, no more than two dead adjutants — the angle of the feed jumps just enough to see Natasha pick up one of the merc's pistols before returning her attention to the omni-tool, her expression a little dry but not unkind. ]

You look like you're having as much fun as I am.

[starspangledspandex]

[Yeah, he hadn't realized Natasha had shown up. Steve forgets to pay attention to his omni-tool.

He looks surprised as he looks down at the screen.]

Not sure I'd call this fun.

[ Well, she has been keeping her head down. It's understandable, all things considered, since Natasha's kind of a master at that whole thing. ]

That's what I meant. [ A click-clack and a hiss as something ejects from the end of her pistol — new technology isn't quite her niche, but a self-ejecting cartridge can't go wrong, she supposes. ] I'm on a personal run first, but. [ But Steve's a hell of a leader and, you know, the teamwork thing. ]

Do you need anything, Cap?

[mathemagician]

I can send someone to check on them for you.

[text]

[starspangledspandex]

No that's alright. I appreciate the offer but they're in our apartment.

[text]

[mathemagician]

Let me know if the situation changes.

[also he may or may not suspect you're some sort of hero, but he's a little busy to think about that.]

[itsnoteasybeing]

You're good, Cap. I have no intention of moving from here on out.

[ Certainly not when it'd paint a target on his head for even remotely destroying anything in Omega. ]

video; locked

[starspangledspandex]

I'm glad to hear it. If you need anything, let me know.

[How fast he'll get there is another thing entirely. He won't be able to move very quickly.]

[itsnoteasybeing]

Maybe something to keep Tony complacent, but I think that's an adventure once things settle down.

[ Look at him being noble and stuff. ]

[tasteslikecoconut]

Yeah, sure thing mom.

[starspangledspandex]

[This is his irritated face.]

I'm trying to help you, Tony.

Video

[tasteslikecoconut]

[This is his 'tell me something I didn't know' face right back at you.]

I'll be sure to learn how to do the laundry for when you get back.

[chose]

[okay, color her impressed (and a little confused?)]

That's an interesting weapon, Captain. Standard issue? [her grin matches her dry tone]

[starspangledspandex]

[Yeah, he doesn't blame you there.]

If you're Captain America. [He grins back.] She's one of a kind.

[Hello, blue eyes.]

Mm, I'm not usually a fashionista, but love the outfit.

[That's not fair. He can't see you! Steve will smile anyway.]

Thanks, Ma'am, but it just comes with the job.

[testifier]

Got some sweet moves, man.

[starspangledspandex]

Thanks, I've had a lot of practice.

[AUDIO]

[calibrating]

Captain Rogers, if you need backup, I can get to your location ASAP. Just need a good visual on where you are.

[AUDIO]

[starspangledspandex]

Appreciate the offer, Vakarian. It looks like this one is dead. I got lucky the explosives were there.

[boydetective]

[Tim responds with voice because he's kinda running around in costume trying to help civilians escape from the space creatures. He managed to find a perch above the streets where he can watch the civilians getting to safety and also avoid most of the noise.]

You're alright, right Sir? I mean... superheroes can handle things like this just fine. Ahh, I guess what I'm saying is make sure you ask for help if you need it.

[voice]

[starspangledspandex]

[What, don't want to show off your shiny uniform? He did!]

Don't worry about me. I think I have it handled for now. I'll be sure to give someone a call if it turns out I need it. I appreciate the concern.
