Debrief #1 || [Written]

[The first thing anyone will notice is that Coulson's handwriting looks disturbingly like printed type which means it is very neat and very very easy to read.]

Greetings to residents of Luceti. My name is Phil Coulson. I have recently arrived here, and was wondering if anyone could answer my questions.

1. What do the wings do?
2. Where is Luceti?
3. Are there places the newly arrived may stay?
4. Where may I procure a sewing kit? Or new Clothes?
5. Anyone know good ways of getting blood out of clothing?
6. Is there anyone here who knows of SHIELD, The Avengers Initiative, or knows me?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

[Yes, that was strangely polite for a New Feather. That's Coulson all over.]

I'd guessed it was something like that. Most versions of Earth I've encountered here don't have anything like the Avengers, and seem pretty underdeveloped, though Stark's armor is progress into a new scale. I can only assume SHIELD has similar technology.

SHIELD has some good technology, beyond the scope of many organizations, but Tony's technology is one of a kind. Ahead of the curve, so to speak. SHIELD uses quite a bit of Stark tech.

How many version of Earth have you encountered?

Interesting.

[His tone shifts, a bit less grave]

Hundreds, here. Most of them fairly mundane, and most around the year 2000 in your calender.

...Hundreds?

[Coulson sounds slightly pole-axed by the number.]

That's... rather amazing.

Where are you from Mr. Skywalker?

[Please, Please, PLEASE, confirm his suspicions. It will be deliciously mind boggling.]

Originally? An asteroid colony called Polis Massa, but I grew up on Tatooine, and now I reside on the fourth moon of Yavin.

[He pauses]

Yes, I'm the Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars films. Yes, I've seen them. And yes, they are fairly accurate.

...Ah.

[Coulson coughs.]

I wasn't going to ask. Really. But thank you. For confirming.

[Although, seeing yourself as a film/work of fiction? Very weird.]

...That must of been strange.

I'm used to questions like that, its no big deal.

[He laughs]

A little, but no stranger than waking up here.

Ah. ...Did Tony ask you? [Because he can see Tony asking.]

I suppose. Some people might find it disconcerting or distressing. But if there are multiple earths, then I can't say that things which are considered fictional at home aren't real somewhere.

Of course he did.

[He likes you, Phil. You're completely neutral about all the things!]

I can assure you that there are, but this place seems to be a nexus of strange and unique individuals. Yourself included, I'm going to wager.

Of course.

[It's a skill. A valuable skill when working for SHIELD.]

I am not particularly strange or unique. I am simply an Agent of SHIELD.

[Who may have verbally thrown a God off kilter after being stabbed by said god and then shot said god with a flamethrower. No, no one special.]

Somehow, I'm sure that being an Agent of SHIELD makes you special in your own way.

[With all the compliments, you might make him blush.]

I suppose. It's certainly an interesting life, not one most people would choose.

[And choose it he did.]

No, but you chose it. Thats says something about you, sir.

I... Thank you.

[Your acknowledgement is lovely, but it makes Coulson uncomfortable.]

Don't thank me, sir. I've been around a lot of spies, soldiers and military types. At least you're willing to talk, and not all gruff.

[Coulson has to chuckle a bit.]

Can you imagine a gruff military type getting Tony Stark to listen to him? Not even obey, but simply listen? I can't.

[Except for Col. Rhodes, but the man was not gruff and had been Tony's friend a long time. He didn't really count.]

That...is entirely fair. Tony's definitely a bit of a free-willed guy. Reminds me a lot of Han, with super powers...

That is a very apt description. Never thought about it, but it fits.

[Mostly.]

I'm lucky he'll listen to me. Sometimes.

[But that's just one of Tony's quirks. He can work with it.]

Are you his superior officer, then?

[Coulson gives a startled laugh.]

Oh, no. No. He's a consultant for SHIELD. You could say I am SHIELD's liaison to Stark Industries.

A consultant? The way he talks he's some sort of savior.

[Luke laughs right back]

Should have guessed.

Well, he is a hero. He mainly freelances, since he doesn't need SHIELD funding to be a hero.

[There is a smile in Coulson's voice, and a faint tinge of annoyed fondness.]

Yeah, he's not the type to take orders.

And how does he get along with Captain Rogers? Steve seems to be the model soldier.

Well... I didn't see them interact much before arriving here, but...

They have very different views on things so some friction is ... unavoidable.

Heh, well, Agent Coulson it was nice speaking to you. I'm sure I'll be seeing you around.

If you need any help, let me know.

[Voice]
