[ Clint feels that's an excuse but he'll not all the same. No good will come from arguing and, in the end, she's right. He's never faced something like that before and even now isn't sure what to do to ward against it. Someone- Something else had been inside him and he should be thankful that she'd come along and bothered to help him. Who knows how long he could have continued on as he was, or wasn't, ... ] I hope that's the first and last time.

I, yeah, ... [ Nods. He'd expected her to just grab his arm and force it into place, but she was instead gentle, taking great care in --damnit. Rolls his shoulder the moment its popped into place. Grabs his shoulder and squeezes, a sigh of relief passing his lips. ] I could be better, ...and will be when I find Loki, because I'm going to make him into the world's first living pin cushion.

( ooc | To many many more! /toasts )

[Her eyebrows furrow a bit as she wasn't quite it was gone, though at least for now it seemed to have gone dormant.] I hope so too.

[She gave him a small smile as anger and wanting to find the one who did this to him, was definitely a normal reaction. Anyone would feel that one, which she took as a sign that he was feeling more like him.] Well I might be able to help you find him. I am a telepath, remember?

[She had no idea if she would really be able to sense a god or not, but it was worth a shot. Especially if she could help stop the Norse god from doing this to more people.]

(ooc; Sorry for the wait there, sleep over took and now I have to run to work! Also cheers, there's totally a small storyline to found in this thread! XD)

[ To be frank he doesn't think it to be gone either. In the back of his mind he can feel its subtle influence, it's just too weak to be effective right now. Not that he's complaining. He's just glad he's not got to concern himself with it right now, because he's got bigger and better things to worry about, ...like filling Loki with enough holes to be considered swiss cheese. ]

Think so? [ Cracks a smile. ] Not sure I could ever forget. [ Not after that ordeal. ]

And thanks. Again. [ His smile starts to fade as he rubs the back of his neck sheepishly. ] I can't say I know many that would bother working alongside someone so unstable, so uh, just watch yourself. [ He knows that she'd probably already considered it, but he felt compelled to warn her, ...in the off chance that he does revert to his "other" self. ]

( ooc | Not a problem! I understand since, ff, work got a bit rough for me these past few days. And yep. ;; I'm so happy. )

[That gets a bit of a chuckle out of her. She would take it as a good sign that he was able to crack jokes so soon after what happened. Obviously she's aware that he is far from fine, but at least things were looking up.]

I don't know how effective my tracking abilities will be on someone who is suppose to be a god, but it's worth a shot if we find him. [In her mind she was already trying to figure what exactly she would try to be sensing since humans and mutants felt distinctly different, maybe this Loki guy would give off a unique mental signature she could latch on too.]

You're welcome, I'm glad to help. This Loki character seems like the worse kind of news. He needs to be stopped. [The smile she gave him was quite sincere as this wouldn't be the first time she worked with someone that could pose a threat to her person.]

This wouldn't be the first time I've worked with someone who could turn on me. At least we know I can help bring you out of it, if it happens again. [It also helped that she'd be tuned in to him the whole time for both their safety.]

(ooc; And then work swallowed me again, but it looks like it will be easing up. Sorry for the delay again. I'm totally game to do a thread with them trying to find Loki. XD Bet, we could rope a Loki into it too.)

...a shot is a shot.

[ He nods. Right now he's not got a single lead so if she could help he'd owe her one. Or two, considering she'd saved his hide not a moment before. And unique mental signature; no doubt. Banner had put it best: that guys head is a bag full of cats, you can smell crazy on him. It shouldn't be too hard to find that. ]

I couldn't agree more. Loki intends to lead an army here to take over. I think he wants to enslave us, too. It's some pretty by the book stuff as far as power hungry lunatics go. [ Even still, Clint would rather not hurt her, ...especially not after all she's done for him, and especially especially not after all she's planning on doing for him. ]

Yeah, a plus, but let's just hope it doesn't come to that. [ Forces a small laugh. ] Not too fond of having my strings pulled. [ Rubs his head subconsciously. ]

( ooc | sounds like most of my weeks. ff. i can't stand work sometimes. and don't worry about it. i will back tag with you forever. and ooh, that'd be fun! haha. there are plenty around, i'm sure we could find one. )

[She can't help but frown at hearing Loki's plans out loud. Definitely sounded like the worse kind of news and from her current distance, she wasn't so sure she could communicate with the professor to ask for more help.]

In that case, we don't have much time to waste. Do you remember by chance the last thing he wanted you to do before I bumped into you?

[Obviously she could just dive in and check, but if she doesn't have to be invasive, then she won't. It's too easy to abuse her powers otherwise and she likes Clint well enough not to go picking his brain, while he's himself again.]

Me too, I'm not exactly a fan of having to pry to two consciousness apart. [Especially given, it is painful for both her and him.] I don't think anyone is a fan of that.

(ooc; Oh man, didn't mean to take so long to get back here. I actually thought I had tagged this one again. But I guess I must have forgot to post the comment. ^^;

Any way I have a few Loki-muns on my plurk timeline. I can always ask one of them if they may be interested in threading. :D)

[ Clint's going to have to see whether or not he can get into contact with SHIELD. He's sure they'll be relieved, if not a bit glad, to hear he's no longer under Loki's control, ...though he's sure to be on the receiving end of a bit of flack. It's to be expected though, since he'd inadvertently killed a handful of agents. Bites back a sigh as he ruffles his own hair. ]

Last I remember I was on the Helicarrier, but, uh, that's clearly not the case. In any case, Loki was trying to pit everybody against everybody else. Not to mention he wanted to drive the bird out of the air, unless, of course, he already succeeded...

I didn't think so. [ His lips twist into a small smile. ] Let's hope that we beat it into submission so if it decides to rear its ugly head again, it won't be as hard to take care of. [ Yeah. there's that too. ] Not. at. all.

( ooc | I need to apologize so hard. Ff. I never got this reply, and when I saw you in that meme I decided to look back at it and I nearly kicked myself. I'm so sorry! I didn't meant to flake on you. I was, and still am, really having fun. ;w; )

[She had to admit that was an age old kind of plan, but usually an effective one. Divide and conquer, if everyone was too busy fighting amongst themselves, they wouldn't be able to mount an offensive, let alone defend. She bite her lip in thought, really wishing she had access to cerebro.]

My range is limited, but I can try reaching out and see if I can find any significant disturbances.

[Even if she could manage to momentarily latch onto someone near a phone that would be good as she could call for more help that way.]

Hopefully we're not too late. [Though she imagined they would already be seeing signs of an alien attack by now, if they were too late. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, doing as the professor had taught her. Slowly letting her mind expand as she let the various voices in, so that she could pick apart the many threads and find something relating to what they needed to know.

Suddenly there's a flash of pure rage that makes her flinch, but then among the whispers she hears a murmur of someone excited about what the 'tesseract' is going to show them soon. Her eyes snaps open and she glances up at Clint.]

Does 'tesseract' mean anything to you?

[She's aware the word means 'cube', but why should someone think a cube was going to show them something? Thus it is odd enough to warrant a mention in her mind.]

(ooc: It's alright! Notif fails happen! *hugs* If you want we can move this thread to a meme or a musebox, since they got a neat little crossover going on here.)

[ ...and Loki was an old (really old) sort. But that mattered little because the plan had been a success. Clint had "disabled" an engine and mounted an assault on the Helicarrier with his band of misfits. He assumed he'd been triumphant, at least to a degree, as he'd not been on the carrier when Jean had found him. ...unless he'd retreated, no, Loki hadn't programmed him to accept defeat; he'd have succeeded or died trying. Shit. ]

I would appreciate it... there's got to be something out there and once we've got it, be it a little or a lot, we'll be able to organize an attack of our own. I intend to ensure Loki regrets this... [ Firm nod. He's not sure how her psionic powers work, but there's bound to be something out there to latch onto. Loki does like going in and out with a bang; literally. ]

I don't think so. If anything, there's a bit more time to be had. ...maybe not all that much, but it'll be enough. [ Pointed pause and a sigh. ] I hope. [ But he's almost completely certain that nothing's started yet. No doubt they'd have heard about an alien invasion from their allies. ...her allies anyway. Clint's not so sure where he stands with SHIELD as his former[?] allies. His shoulders sink a bit as another sigh passes his lips. Leaves Jean to herself as she concentrates on finding Loki while he screws with his radio in a futile attempt to reconnect his frequency with that of Natasha. ]

Hm? [ Looks to her. ] ...the tesseract, yeah, ...a little too familiar. It's what Loki needs to bring his armies here. That, and a device to wield it. Dr. Selvig and I had procured the materials necessary to get it built and... [ He turns his head and mutters a curse under his breath. ] Dr. Selvig, he's probably still working on it... almost done with it... we need to find him and stop him before it's too late.

( ooc | I know but still. I feel just awful. * Hugs. * and I am cool with that. ...would you prefer to create a musebox specifically for this au / crossover or~? )
