You're not a fan of the giant blast doors? I can't imagine why not.

[fiftheclipse]

What gave that away?

... Yeah. Can't say I've got a good history with locked metal doors.

[spoileralert]

Who does? Blast doors are bad news. Hence the "blast".

[fiftheclipse]

Sure not gonna have much of a blast hanging out around them, until they're open.

[spoileralert]

Kinda depends on what’s on the other side, doesn’t it? If the side we’re familiar with is nice and clean, the other side must be, uh, shrapnel- if you take my meaning.

[ Her meaning is ‘blood and guts’. ]

[fiftheclipse]

...

[Yeah. He gets it.]

Then it's a good thing it snows so much.

Makes you wonder if that door can open in the first place. For all we know, the other side could be blocked.

[spoileralert]

Maybe we're snowed in. That'd be a surprise.

[fiftheclipse]

Would it, though? C'mon, don't tell me you never thought about it before.

[spoileralert]

In this weather? It'd be unheard of!

[fiftheclipse]

It's practically summer, right?

[spoileralert]

You mean it isn't June yet?

[fiftheclipse]

[There's a pause. Of course he knows what she means, but...]

I doubt I'm gonna see anything that looks like June until I get back home.

... Wait, do we know what month it is, here?

[spoileralert]

I think we did? I'd have to do some calculations, but I remember Steve Rogers figuring out when the Winter Solstice was, and I think my birthday came and went. We might actually be into Fall by now.

[fiftheclipse]

Oh. Well, then that makes everything okay. The room with the pit was just someone's idea of a joke as the seasons changed.

[spoileralert]

Oh, I remember that! I totally called it on not being real. At least, not in a literal sense.
