[Audio] ✪ I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto

[measureofcourage]

This is Captain Rogers. I'm at an unknown location, a large plane of some kind.

[Much too large to be a plane, but the descriptor would work for now.]

If you are getting this, Director Fury, please respond. Agent Romanoff? Thor? ... Stark?
I could use a heads up on the situation, here. I don't remember a briefing for this.

[A forced attempt at an almost joke, except it's true enough that it has him unsettled. How did he get here?]

So I've come to find. I'm not sure even a mission briefing could have prepared me for the information I've been gathering today.

Are you with SHIELD?

[It's a fair question, as far as he is concerned. If Thor and Tony are here, Pepper, too. But apparently the ship took a good deal of other people from other times and locations as well, if Lyall was to be believed. And he seemed an honest man.]

[voice]

[girlworthfighting]

No. I don't even fight with one, normally. [A passing bemused note helps make it clear she's never heard of the organization.] But I consider myself an ally of Thor Odinson. And I...know of Tony Stark. Though mainly by hearing him spoken of by others.

[voice]

[measureofcourage]

Sounds about right. Well. An ally of Thor's is... an ally where I'm concerned.

[There is a hint of uncertainty there. His adopted brother did try to take over the Earth, and that just doesn't quite sit right with a man like Steve Rogers.]

If either of them tend to stick around here, would you happen to know where I might find them?

[voice]

[girlworthfighting]

[She heard that. But for now she'll let it slide.] And I feel the same.

I could give you directions to where Thor and his brother reside. I have been there guest now several times. Stark I'm afraid I can't help you with, though he often spends time working on the ship you probably woke up on.

[voice]

[measureofcourage]

I would appreciate that...

[Wait.]

Thor and his brother?

[Relax, Steve. Thor possibly has more than one brother. Don't jump to conclusions.]

Wouldn't surprise me if Stark was on board. I'll take another look around. See if I can locate him.

[voice]

[girlworthfighting]

Yes. Loki. Do you...know of him as well?

[Slight wariness creeping in, now. She's been through this whole business with Thor's own allies not trusting or liking Loki before.]

If I may offer my advice, then that probably seems like a wise place to start.

[voice]

[measureofcourage]

...Sort of. He tried to take over the planet...

It's complicated.

[Complicated is an understatement, but he isn't yet aware of just how much of one that is.]

Thank you. For the advice. I'll see if I can dig Stark up, first.

[There's a long pause and he clears his throat, hesitating a moment.]

Mind if I ask your name?

[voice]

[girlworthfighting]

No. That was another Loki. [Her voice is all kinds of hard and firm. The last jerk tried to tie Loki up and shoot him with an arrow. And then there was that mess with the collar. They're not going through this again.] This Loki is not from the same world as Thor is, nor the same time...this Loki is no more than a youth. He is relatively innocent, and cares very much for his brother. And outside of learning magic, he has no ambitions at all.

[Her tone does the verbal equivalent of taking a step back, acknowledging it wasn't very polite of her to start bossing a stranger around without even offering a full introduction.]

My name is Fa Mulan. Most people simply call me Mulan.
