You should never direct me to these things. :)

Maria/Steve, of course, and I'll try telepathy.

*Sorry for any tense switches or typos

Alien tech of some kind...Steve gets hit first because he throws himself in without thought for his own safety. "Typical." Maria thinks, as she attempts to haul him to his feet and out of the range of whatever the hell that -thing- is. She prides herself on her upper body strength, but Steve is 220lbs easy, even without his shield and its not until he gets his feet under himself and pushes that she's able to drag him back to the doorway.

"What in the goddamn hell?" echoes, coming from the abandoned room. Maria's eyes widen. But when she looks down, she has nothing on the deer in the headlights look Steve is sporting. Captain America shouldn't be able to look that shocked and it sends a tendril of unease down Maria's spine. She draws her sidearm, keeping it tight to her body, glancing into the room, vision sweeping over one side before bracing her gun in front of her and swinging around to sweep the rest of the room, careful not to get close enough to whatever is in the room to activate it, but its clear. There's no one there.

"Shit." There's Steve's voice again, but it sounds like its coming from the thing sitting in the room, not behind her. When she whips around, Steve is looking over her shoulder, clearly seeing just as she has that the room is empty. The color has drained from his face though.

"Captain Rogers?" Maria raises an eyebrow. Her hand is itching to go to her comm link, to report, but they lost comms 15 minutes ago and there's no point.

"Um," Steve stammers. The color is returning to his face, but its red that's bleeding up his neck, turning the tips of his ears pink. "I thought those things." He finally manages to get out.

"That's quite the language for Captain America." Maria comments, mostly to cover her own surprise. To borrow a phrase from Steve, shit.

"Just a kid from Brooklyn." Steve mutters.

"And a soldier." Maria adds, but her voice is distracted, even to her own ears. She doesn't like any of the options they've got with comm links down, but she has to pick one.

Ehehehehehehehe! :)

Wonderful start, and (as always) I'd love to see what happens next! :D

[tidal_race]

The crack would probably be epic for sure. Even if it has to be unconsciously or consciously projected thoughts that I'm picturing the device picks up on. Especially if Tony got a hold of Steve.

Glad it made you chuckle.

Tony would totally and ruthlessly ask every question he ever wanted to know the answer to about Steve and revel in the blackmail opportunities.

[tidal_race]

Maria is about ready to shoot Tony. For the past five minutes there's been a steady stream of "LaLaLaLaLaLa" coming from the alien device because every time it stops, Stark calls out an inappropriate question from behind the monitors he's set up to try and decipher some sort of reading from the device that nobody wants to risk moving yet, in case somebody else gets hit. They'd tried removing Steve instead but he'd nearly passed out when they'd tried to move him too far. He said it had been like the device had been fighting to keep his mind connected to it. It looks like it could be Asgardian, but unless Thor's spidey-sense is tingling, they're SOL for the moment on that front. Tony is their best bet right now. Bruce is still flying in. So, she could shoot Tony, really there's no cameras down here, but she'd have to ask Captain America to lie for her, and she actually kind of likes Pepper. Maybe another day.

[tielan]

*g* Oh Tony. Oh Maria.

One can only imagine the inappropriate questions Tony is asking...and which ones get through before Steve ruthlessly censors them! :D

[tidal_race]

I'm thinking Steve was getting along pretty well with just not thinking, until Tony's questions got so persistent and personal he got angry and snapped, maybe even out loud, instead of in his head, and said something that was wildly untrue, but enough to make even Tony blush and shut up for a second, but then he'd started up again and Steve had started chanting in his head so he didn't say anything else rude in front of Maria. Who actually wishes he'd continued because Tony Stark speechless was priceless.
