Second shot - video

[Francis intends on making this short and sweet, because time is of the essence if this is anything like any other emergency situation he's ever been in]

Avengers - whether you're mine or not - you're needed. I want my team to meet by the oxygen gardens. If you think you can help keep the peace, feel free to join in.

And if anyone can get me in contact with Tyke, I'd appreciate it. Got a question for her.

Anyone not safe in their rooms who needs help, let me know. I'll come escort you myself.

Azari, when you get here, we need to talk.

[ Azari doesn't bother responding on the network, instead opting to make it to Francis at top speed. Which is pretty darn quick, all things considered. The dimness doesn't really throw him off at all, though he's not really fond of the red lights.

Just sort of reminds him of the last time they were in the dome, just before James set off those robots and Ultron came.

He's got his blanket and pillow bundled up and he tucks it out of the way near the entrance to the Gardens, intending to grab it after he and Francis do what they can to help out. ]

Hey, I'm here.

[ ...hope he didn't manage to sneak up on you, Francis. He's real quiet. ]

[goddamnit Azari what has he told you before about showing up unannounced he about had a heart attack. Francis whirls around, reaching for his bow, then gives Azari a dark look before leaning against a wall for some semblance of dignity]

You any good with first aid?

[let's get down to business!]

[ Azari... sort of smirks. His heart isn't in it, but it's there, and clearly the eyebrow he quirks is telling Francis that if he doesn't want to be startled, he should start listening more closely. Duh. ]

Uh, well, a little bit. Nothing complicated, but I can clean and dress and do CPR and stuff.

[he listens just fine, thank you very much! Azari is just ... supernatural or something. like a cat god]

That's more than I can do. I need you to go with me, push through the ship and look for stragglers. If people aren't in their rooms, they should be here.

[ Well, maybe a little. shhhhh, don't tell! ]

Sure. You think people might be hurt? [ In the absence of James, Azari's more than happy to let Francis take the lead, even if he's not the older one anymore. Regardless of the past couple years, Francis was in the world his whole life, getting hands-on experience dealing with, y'know. Bad stuff. That's experience none of the other Avengers (their Avengers, anyway) has. ]

It's a possibility I'm not equipped to handle if I come across it myself. Better to be prepared than get yourself killed, right? [not that he thinks he would, not here, but that's a lesson he's carried with him his whole life]

Right. [ It's a good lesson, one the other kids had to learn fast. One Azari feels like they forgot with Kang, and... well, look what happened. ]

Are we working with the adults on this, or is it just us?

[Francis still can't ... accept the Kang thing. he can't accept he's a killer - that any of them are killers - and he tries to ignore it as much as he can before the uncertainty of it all drives him nuts]

You and me. I'll let Hawkeye know what's going on, but we don't need help running a search.

[ It's difficult. But he wasn't there, so... yeah. Azari wouldn't blame him for basically ignoring that it happened because how to deal with that shit. ]

With any luck, we'll run into James while we do it.

That's the plan. The lazy jerk can afford to help out for once, right?

Just because he's the leader doesn't mean he gets to slack off.

[get a punch to the arm, Azari] Watch who you call leader, dude.

[ Better be quick on your feet or they'll be out from under you, Francis. Azari has no qualms about landing you on your butt with that leg sweep. It got him to smile a little though, so... victory? ]

Loud, proud, with the flashy costume and shield? Of course he's the leader. So while everybody's looking at him, we can get things done.

[dude, he knows you well enough, Azari, and he was backing away as soon as he swung for the arm. he's not about to be tripped up that easily]

He is pretty useless half the time, isn't he?

so, calling up the avengers.
no, leading the avengers.
is this the moment where i tell you i'm proud?

[notdad being proud of him? yeah, Francis is not against that at all]

been doing this a long time, but sure if you want

how long we talking?

about a year by myself, longer with dad before that

so i don't have to worry about you handling yourself.
good to know.

yeah no i got this

call if you need back up.

other you said the same thing. dont worry i will if i need to

great minds, blah blah blah.
i'll keep my comm on me.

there are worse ones yeah

thanks. keep safe

This is Tyke. Shoot.

[what a telling choice of words]

heard you lead security team. wondering if my group can work with yours

Need non-necessaries to remain out of the corridors. Help within the gardens is appreciated.

no offense, but recovery is what i do best

I'll keep that in mind. But there's no recovery necessary yet.

been looking for stragglers in the halls. you sure theyre clear?

Got my team running patrols for that. Probably been looking for you.

not needed. we can take care of ourselves

wouldnt mind joining security though, so long as we keep together

We don't know that. You get fucked up out there no one knows about it, you're dead + there's no one to report whatever fucked you up. Get back to me when shit's more settled.

[She doesn't say when this is over. They could be looking at a year of this if the engines don't get fixed.]

Need to assess your skills + experience.

im not going out alone. i know better than that

fine. but ive been doing this a while. i can handle it

But you were going out without letting any of my team know. Not saying you can't. Just need to know who + what I'm signing up.

you know now

when things settle, can offer a demonstration

Requesting again that you remain in the gardens. Won't keep you benched if we need recovery.

[he doesn't answer for a bit]

give me one more run with my partner. looking for one of our team. he disappeared a few days ago

we'll head back to the gardens right after

Got it. Thanks. Give his description to my team when you get back. We'll keep an eye out.

thanks

talk to you later

I'm already there. I've been checking no one's lost or injured, trying to get teams together for those that are, and calming the most panicked passengers. It's not been easy. We've got a job cut out for us here.

figures. you good with what youve got or need more hands? azari and me are going back out and looking for more.

You two gonna be good on your own?

Got word from Stark to focus on morale, so I should be good. But if you guys need a extra guy or some muscle, I'm sure I can be spared.

yeah were good. used to this. ill give a holler if anything changes

keep an eye out for james if you can. dummy got lost

I'll come running.

Will do. Not seen him so far, but I'll check all the levels, see if I missed him.

thanks. sure hed like to know youre looking out for him

He seems like a smart kid, I'm sure he can take good care of himself. But I'd rather make sure. You take care of yourself out there, too, huh?

definitely

Glad to hear it. Go get 'em, kid. I'll be rooting for you from back here.

Check in later.
