[Open] Some things lead you astray

[avengeme]

Who: Phil Coulson and you
When: May 19th, afternoon
Where: near the door to the downstairs stairwell
What: Recovery from death and sending out warnings
Warnings: Mentions of murder? More to be added

Having been missing since the end of arrival day, Coulson finally awakens again on the floor of the boiler room. It feels uncomfortable and it's enough to spur him to get out through the door and climb the stairs back to the lobby, where he stands, dazed.

There's terrible bruising on his temple and some more on his chest but those are hidden under his suit. You can catch him as he makes his way to his room (110), where he fumbles with his key. The first thing he does when the door opens is reach for his tablet to send out a message.

[Network audio message. Group locked to Antoine Triplett, Bucky Barnes, Clint Barton, Leo Fitz, Melinda May, Natasha Romanoff, Skye, Steve Rogers]

We have a situation. Meet me in the ballroom.

After that, he'll allow himself a minute to wash up quickly before he hurries back out the door to head for the ball room, stumbling a little on his way. He still hasn't eaten but that's not the most urgent thing on his mind right now. He'll also be a little jumpy, checking behind him every once in a while to make sure Rumlow isn't just around the corner. He already made his mistake the first time, he has no intention of getting killed again.

Once the people he's looking for have all gathered, he'll say simply.

"Brock Rumlow is here. He was the leader of Fury's STRIKE team and a member of HYDRA. He's dangerous and deadly. He killed me approximately..." he frowns down at the time on his tablet. "10 days ago, so retaliating the same way is obviously not going to fly." He leans heavily against a table. "We need a better solution and fast."

"About that," Skye remarks, a bit uneasily. "I don't think I have to be the one to point out that you came back. This isn't gonna be as simple as taking them out." Searching his eyes, she tries to figure out if he's already got that worked out, or if it's more of the 'coming soon, after Coulson talks to Ward.' She doesn't like the new terms of this game much, but it's hard to complain when it's likely the same tech that returned Trip to them.

He does. Hearing her say that just succeeds in making him look more exhausted.

"I know. I'll figure something out." Whether it's a long-term imprisonment plan or something else. He'll come up with it.

Following the network message, Clint does as instructed and puts in an appearance in the ballroom. He keeps back, and to himself, not speaking out, but taking everything in as the debriefing goes on. The only interaction he makes is to not his acknowledgement at the team arrangement, knowing what his job is. And when it all comes to end, he leaves, all the more informed for it, and that much more alert to the situation that they appear to be in.
