[Pierce doesn't normally make announcements, except when it comes to internal company memos and the like. He keeps things strictly business most of the time, but he is making this addition to the network from his communal housing room. He looks grave and upset, but he is clearly wanting those who might wish to know the information that he has obtained.]

To anyone who knew and was friends with Miss Ava Orlova, I regret to have you inform you all that she has returned back through the portal. While we had only begun to build a relationship, she was the closest person to having one of my daughters back, and I will miss her.

[He sighs heavily and folds his hands together, managing a grief-stricken smile.]

If anyone has any stories of her exploits, I would very much value hearing about them.

[The pain was blinding, which kept him on the floor longer than possibly others might. He trembled where he lay, and he managed to slowly lift a hand to gingerly touch his cheek, feeling the damage along with each new flare of pain. The headache that was already setting in was distracting, but he still made slow progress to move from laying down to sitting up.

He eventually ended up leaning heavily on his desk, and the whole right side of his face appeared to be melting downwards. His left eye was able to focus with some work on his part, and he stared up at the frozen Soldier.]

[It chills him right to the bone that Pierce can ask that question so calmly, when he looks so hurt. It really does feel like this was a battle and, despite being the one without any blood on him, Bucky has definitely lost. Lost badly.

He should call for medical assistance, but he can't bring himself to actually help, that feels like a slippery slope towards obedience. So he chooses the third option, he turns on his heel suddenly and flees as if the hounds of hell are on his tail.]
