we are the greatest pretenders [OPEN]

Who: Steve Rogers, Mirror Steve, and YOU
Where: All over the Real Side and Mirror Side
When: May 13th – 20th
Rating: PG-13 for possible violence
Summary: Mirror!Steve has a mission, which leaves Real Steve at the mercy of his whims. That doesn't mean he isn't going to fight back however he can.
The Story:

I. REAL STEVE || REAL SIDE
[ Between the sudden invasion by the Mirrors, Peggy's reappearance, and everything else in between, Steve feels like he can't keep up with Wonderland's most recent event no matter how fast he moves. The worst part is the constant paranoia, the reminder that he can't trust anyone he comes across when there's a chance that they could be a doppelganger. Not all of the Mirrors are dangerous, but a good percentage of them are, his own included.

Whether it's early on in the event or a few days in, after Steve's already been flung between the Real Side and the Mirror Side a number of times, he'll be on edge, patrolling the halls of the mansion in search of any trouble-making Mirrors. Though, strangely, without a weapon of any kind on him other than his fists. At first that's by choice; later on, it's not.

If the Mirrors are on this side, they have to have some purpose, some order passed down by their Queen. And Steve intends to figure out what they're up to. He'll be searching the mansion up and down until he figures it out. Thus far, he can at least tell that they're looking for something, even if he doesn't know what it is. And if he comes across anyone at the mercy of a Mirror, he won't hesitate to jump in to help. ]


II. REAL STEVE || MIRROR SIDE
[ The worst part of the Mirrors being on the move is the complete lack of control that goes hand-in-hand with it. It never stops being jarring, the way that he'll suddenly end up on the Mirror Side, in this dreary place completely devoid of any color. It's hard not to feel trapped, especially when he's stuck wondering what his Mirror is doing on the Real Side while powerless to do anything about it.

Well, not completely powerless. Whenever Steve finds himself on the Mirrorside, he makes a habit of writing messages on the mirrors, hoping that someone friendly on the Real Side will happen upon them. Generally what he writes is along the lines of, This is Steve Rogers. The "real" version. My mirror is on that side right now and he's dangerous. Be careful, and if you're a friend, let me know if you see this.

While stuck on the Mirror Side, he decides to at least make the most of the opportunity, searching for any sign of the Queen or any Mirror who he might be able to press for information.

If he comes across someone, Real or not, he'll approach them with the appropriate amount of wariness. ]


I have questions.

III. MIRROR STEVE || REAL SIDE
[ The Queen has a task for him. For all of them, really, but Steven doesn't expect that any of his fellow Mirrors will be up to it, at least not on his level. He has no doubt in his mind that he can track down the traitors and drag them back to the Mirror Side for their punishment. It may take time, and it will definitely take determination, but he's never lacked that.

For the most part he doesn't pay the people on the Real Side any mind. He's not here for them, after all, and they'll only slow him down. If he suspects that someone might have pertinent information, he'll corner them, but otherwise he carries himself like a man on a very particular mission.

On top of his hunt, though, there's something else that he needs to find: an item of particular importance to his Real. That question has a simple answer. It's actually acquiring the item, the shield, that takes some more finesse.

Steven spends a good amount of time on the seventh floor, waiting for the coast to be clear so that he can slip into his Real's room and grab the shield when no one else is present.

While he physically looks the same as his Real, he wears the stealth suit exclusively and carries himself much more stiffly. Any Real familiar with Steve should be able to tell the difference easily enough, and he isn't hiding who he is or his intentions. ]


IV. MIRROR STEVE || MIRROR SIDE
[ Steven's job is twofold. Important as it is to carry out the Queen's mission, leaving the Mirrors Side unattended when there are bound to be countless Reals wandering its halls wouldn't do any good either. Not that he suspects they can do much damage here, but the Queen asked that her realm be defended, and he's capable of splitting his time between the two sides.

When he is on his own Side, Steven patrols it like a guard dog, gaze sharp as he keeps a lookout for anyone who doesn't belong. It was overly curious Reals that had caused this security breach to happen in the first place. As lowly as he might think of them, he isn't going to underestimate them either.

If he does happen upon someone who's obviously out of place, he'll approach them with an authoritative gait and a harsh tone, imposing in his uniform. ]


What are you doing?

[ And he isn't going to tolerate any talk-back. ]

( It's the first time that she's seen writing appear on a mirror, and she almost ignores it. It isn't until Helena reads it for a second time that she finds the curiosity in it, though whether writing back will work.... she'll soon see )

Dangerous how?

My name is Helena.
I'm hoping that your mirror will be easy to notice.

Then hopefully we can do something about it.
It would be a shame for you to be left there now.

Hopefully, it doesn't start either. I'd rather find your 'friend' to make certain.

Playing it safe has never been my style, as kind as your offer is. I also have a few unexpected tricks.

Well that defeats the point a little, writing something that anyone could see.

Your objection is noted. Some positive pointers wouldn't hurt instead.
