A Cross in Time

Searching and Working Pt. 2

Avengers Tower

I watched them do their dance routine. Later we had dinner, sat for a bit then they practiced again. I was earlier instructed on how to operate a tablet. While they were practicing again I was making note on everything I had learned about my case. What I saw before I came here. Making notes on where my colleagues could currently be. I have a map of 1914 London, England overlaid by a map of Manhattan, New York. Trying to triangulate where they could have been sent. I heave a small frustrated sigh and set down the tablet. I close my eyes and lean back against the wall rubbing my temples.

"So, what do you think?" Damion asks.

My eyes fly open as the group turns around.

"Fantastic."

"You alright Holmes?" Jenifer asks.

"I'm fine. Just doing a little work."

"You should take a break, you look frustrated." Ethan points out.

"I'm am resting."

"We can see that." Tànne replies.

"So,"

"Why don't you try the dance?" Sàràh asks.

"You want me to attempt this dance?"

"Yeah, why not?" Luca questions.

"You said you have great observing skills. Jamie thinks you probably could, right Jame?" Cam turns to Jamie.

"Yeah. Come on Amber. I bet you could if you tried." Jamie insists.

"Do a quick run through again and I will humour you."

They do the dance again and I make sure to study them intently. Then Cam starts to do something a little more complicated, there's more twists to his body and he does a couple flips. Then he re-merges with the rest of the group and in a few minutes they finish their dance.

"Alright. Your turn." Cam says.

"As you wish." I reply.

They restart the song and Jamie helps me with the first couple moves. I listen to the beat and preform the moves I watched. When it came time for when Cam had separated I choose to do his dance to prove my observation skills. I finish the dance not long after and head over to pick up the tablet I was using but Jamie notices and grabs it before I can reach it. She makes sure to keep it out of my reach.

"How did you…get the…dance…so...perfect?" She asks while struggling to keep the tablet out of my reach. "Damion, catch!"

Instead of tossing the tablet to Damion she throws it to Cam.

"Cam," I start. "Give me the tablet."

"Uh,"

"Don't Cam. Just how Amber?"

"I observed! If you don't give it back, I will take it back!"

"Uh," Cam starts as he looks to Jamie.

Before anyone has the chance to answer I run and tackle Cam to the ground and wrestle the tablet from his grasp and jump back up. I start to go over my work again then realize what I've done.
