The dimensional distortion over London is being observed by more than one agency--including SHIELD, Interpol, the US military and dozens of others--but it's exceedingly difficult to plan or determine what to do about it, since things are happening so quickly. In the US, especially, the only things that can be done on short notice are to try to monitor the ripples from that distortion that fall within American territories, and to offer a hand (and an armed guard) to anyone or anything thrown through the temporary gateways.

Steve is on duty for this, because he's always on duty, and no one is surprised. He's got part of the STRIKE team at his back, but he's the first and fastest to get to the street after there are reports of light and sound and inexplicable flotsam tumbling out of nowhere into Georgetown, a quarter-mile from the edge of the Potomac, riding in fast on his motorcycle and coming to a halt beneath a churning, iron sky.

Where the debris tended to be strange, twisted and alien from quite a few of these gateways, it seems this time it's things more familiar. Twisted guardrail, a mangled street sign, wood, brick, and drywall enough that it looked like someone smashed an entire building through the gate to hit the street with enough force to crack the pavement.

Technically it was true, if moreso that someone else was thrown through a building, the whole mess being sucked through the anomaly in the process, but details.

Even with the heavy coating of brick dust, it was easy to see what looked to be a body in the mess, though Steve might see when he gets close enough that the person is moving, however slowly, rolling onto his side with a grimace before he was grabbing at a shattered twist of rebar to haul himself to his feet. Wobbly still, but starting to recover enough to notice that whatever else was wrong? He definitely wasn't where he had been.
