I have a funny feeling we're in for a very long night.
Someone put some extra coffee on in the break room, please?
Oh, and Agents Barnes and Romanoff, if you aren't already at home sleeping, please do so now, because your morning is starting early tomorrow. Same goes for any other S.H.I.E.L.D. employees and agents currently following this.
I'm on call if you need me, sir.--Romanoff
Absolutely. It's appreciated, Agent.
May I ask why you call Natasha "Natalia"? Does she have a proliferation of names with which I am unfamiliar?
Certainly. Russian is a very interesting language. A person's given name can be shifted to a nick name in many different ways with different implications.
Unlike English, where a nick name tends to be shorter, the nick name can be as long as the origin name. 'Natalia' (or Natalya') is her given name, more formal so I address her as that. To me, that is the polite way to refer to her when I do not call her Agent Romanoff. 'Natasha' is a more familiar way of calling her. Bucky- James that is, calls her that as most others do, it seems.
There are other variations but I'd rather leave the explanations of it to experts. Though if you cannot find an expert you can always give Wikipedia a try. Perhaps Natalia or Bucky would be willing to try?
Hopefully I've explained it well enough so you get the basic idea. I'm open to corrections if I have any of this wrong. My Russian has gotten a bit rusty.

As much as I hate rental car services, I hate cabs more. Working on getting a car so I can leave ABQ and head out to Puente Antiguo. Christ, it's hot here.
Text from James Barnes to Natasha Romanoff:
How's the situation in NM? Give me a call when you're free. I'd like an update. And I have news. Good or bad, I haven't decided yet.
i hear yellingh downstairs
i dont want to get uo. i ant them to shut up.
dette er dumt
Treat Me Mean, I Need the Reputation
Steve gets out of the white unmarked SUV, slinging his Shield over his shoulder. Turning he gives Natalia a look and a nod as he joins her to head up to the door. "Lets try to keep this as calm as we can, for as long as we can." he says again, face dark. He still had hope they'd gotten things wrong. But the memory of Coulson's and the other men's conditions had ground away at that hope. Still, he wanted to hear it all from Thor. Then. Then he'd take action.
At the sign of the dent Steve looks sharply at Natalie before hurrying forward. He knocks, "Doctor Selvig? Erik. It's Steve Rogers and Agent Romanoff. Are you alright?"
OOC: THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT
((Just a little heads up here to clarify since I know I haven't smoothed out the timeline in a while.
Loki told Thor he was being lied to by Coulson and that SHIELD was after his mojo to use it for their humanly...uh...stuff. Because making someone angry and paranoid is the best way to incite chaos.
Loki then granted Thor a temporary gift, restoring him to his former glory with a limited timer. Thunder and lightning and rage put right back where they belong.
Thor confronted Coulson and there was sass. A lot of sass. Not only did this make Thor angry, but also made Loki seem completely right about S.H.I.E.L.D.
Coulson got wrecked. Thor left via Lokiport.
CURRENTLY: Thor is chilling in Puente Antiguo and has said nothing more than a few lighthearted hints at what he's done, and no official statement has been made as to what happened. Thor does not regret his actions, he also does not care enough to hide them, but Coulson and Natasha's players are the ones with the rights to share that information as they like, and I don't want to steal their thunder, so to speak. (pun intended haw haw :> ) I know I've made a few silly OOC response posts in response to things, but it's just for fun and in character-ly no one that was there during the fight has spoken up about what happened yet! (Not that it will last long, but Coulson needs time to recover, and Thor needs time to get back home and settled.)
Okay? OKAY. <3 ))
