( stephen is easy to find, mantled in red against the earth tones and spring greens of their surroundings, just the person mccoy beelines to, bearing cold dewdrop tea for him, and a dry statement. )

Welcome to the Ximilia, Doctor.

[Natasha considers checking in person, maybe bringing a breakfast sandwich or a bagel, something like that, but ultimately decides against it. If Strange isn't up to company yet, easier to ignore a call or to get back to her at his convenience.

But she does check in. In the hours and days after the evacuation, there's bound to be some feelings floating about and unfortunately this sort of situation, it's sort of familiar to both of them.]


I hope you're resting up. Seems like just about all of the magical types are exhausted about now.

[ The video opens up on everyone's best friend, Cloaky, carefully upending a plate of gingerbread cookies into a fold of his fabric-body. A few fall to the ground, cracking unceremoniously into crumbs.

Overtop this display: ]


Doc, if you were hungry, you could've just asked.

Oh, you know. For me this is just an average Tuesday.

[She shrugs it off, mostly convincingly. There's a part of her tempted to joke about resting when she's dead, but that sort of joke isn't fair with someone in the know.

And it might be a little too fatalistic.

It's less the dodge that gives her away, though, and more the fact she doesn't look like she's had a goodnight's sleep in... well, it's been a lot longer than ten days.]


The good news is we'll probably have a couple of weeks before the next one. Just enough time to start getting bored.

[ Jake comes into frame with a laugh, pouring a glass of milk at the cloak's vague gesturing suggestion. Newt's song-fueled voicebox feature really needed to find more tunes about dairy. ]

I didn't know you were in the room service game now, man. Between this and your whole planet saving side gig, where d'ya find the time to doctor?

It is very familiar in some ways.

[Less so in others. The team is very different, for Natasha, and her place in it is different. It took her awhile to figure that out, but she thinks she's settled in pretty well now.

She'd like to think that, at least.]


Are you saying that as a doctor, or...?

[Or a friend, she supposes. It would be strange to call them that considering they only met here and recently, but there's something to the shared history none the less.]

Jake's Bake Bus? And you've got marketing chops? [ Jake is pouring a second glass, to replace the one that the cloak accidentally dropped off screen. He doesn't seem terribly bothered by the mess, and neither does the cloak. ] You're wasted as a wizard, bro.

Just don't get into stand up comedy. I heard that hygiene crack, pal. You could eat dinner off this fur.

[ And the fleas probably did, happily. Jake hands the glass of milk more carefully to the cloak with a quick glance back at Strange. ] Who's this for, anyway?

Just before the next mission...

[As Steven Strange leaves his room for the new mission, he will find himself either narrowly avoiding or walking straight into the prank stretched across his room door: nice, transparent, beautifully durable plastic wrap. Be careful, bro.

But to even things out a little, Cloak is given a new little metal box with buttons — Hotel California is now American Pie by Don McLean, yes, but more importantly, there's a dangerous button that houses the Crazy Frog Song.

Happy travels! :)]

Oh, doctor, something you'll learn about me: I'm always alright.

[Even when she's not.

Kind of especially when she's not.]


I am resting, though. Promise. We usually get a bit of downtime between missions so... should be plenty of opportunity to recharge before we go again.

[Her own tone is not exactly as breezy as her words, very well aware that she's dodging the answer more than anything.]

You know I'm supposed to be checking on you?

Don't mention it.

[Hard is highly likely, all things considered. Even without fighting, even not being among those using magic to evacuate, they'd all worked themselves to the limit and beyond.

But how Natasha sees it, the job doesn't entirely end when they finish a mission.]


On which note, I'll let you rest. See you around?

Gina helped get some of the older kids talking. It looks like Ghost Matter causes an autoimmune disease. They were pretty vague about the symptoms, but from what they described it’s pretty typical of those kinds of disorders on Earth. Slow to start, but without effective treatment the body turns against itself and shuts down.

Could be more to it, but the children aren’t going to know.

I looked through the orphanage files, too. Everything looks to be on the up and up there. If the government is involved in anything sketchy, they aren’t leaving a paper trail here.
doooooog: (oo)

gomen for the wait my cloaked friend

[ It certainly does, as a matter of fact. But that isn't the only thing that rings bells, apparently. ]

Ah, Ciri. She's a little rough around the edges. [ Not an insult. Jake leans against the counter with a sigh. ] I'm not gonna say I love how many kids are here, if you follow me.

[ One of them was his own brother, and he knew what that one had gone through to get here. The others were certainly no better off, if he had to guess. ]

Nice of you to be doing the Dad thing. You got kids? [ Brief melancholy wiped away by the prospect of learning a few more facts about his new friend, Jake retrieves his rolling pin to resume work. ] Or do you just spend your time reading up on mandalas?

[ His way of saying nice catch, by the way. ]

[ Nice deflection. If you could call it much of one, with the face. Jake mentally files it away for the next time he needs to jumpscare someone with a yellow furry version of it. ]

Wait, what? For real? [ Jake can't seem to help laughing. He'd say it was surprising, but honestly? Not so much, considering all he'd learned about the man already. ] Man, you one messed up leek. Here I am, thinking I've knocked out all the dirt you've got, then I peel back another layer and bingo bongo... More grit.

[ Is this a compliment? The words say no, but the tone and expression on Jake's face say yes. ]

Go ahead, start at the beginning. I wanna know how a surgeon-slash-magician winds up with the same hobby as me.
