02.10.2016: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

We played by OUR rules, not yours -- and the Avengers' rules have always been about saving lives -- whatever it takes

★— ADJUSTING HIMSELF IN FRONT OF THE KITCHEN COUNTER, a vast array of ingredients resting in bowls and bags before him. His hand rose to the bottom of his chin and scratched just beneath it, trying to decide what exactly he was going to make —- there seemed to be just the two of them in the mansion for the night, so he could at least make it a NIGHT

        ❛ See, I was cooking for the whole team tonight, but since everyone seems to be out — is there anything in particular that you’re fancyin’? Looks like we’ve got a whole verity of things to choose from.


“Happy Birthday.” She gives him a pamphlet for a luxurious retirement home

 ❛    Oh you shouldn’t hav-   Quickly cut off as he took note of what he’d been given, his mouth shaped in to a pout; lower lip jutting out as his brows furrowed.     Why are you youngsters so rude? Y’know, I’m young at heart too, geez Louise.

—  I was thinking more of a new COFFEE MACHINE….  

A deep sigh escaped his lungs. Tony was the WORST to buy for —– what DO you buy a man who has the money to buy anything he wants? Every year was the same struggle — and Steve had remembered when he had bought him a sweater — that look on his face that said ‘thanks but no thanks’,  or the one time he’d bought him a tie. Whereas Tony had bought him an entire new motorcycle for Christmas. 

Wait —- BOTH of ‘em? What have I missed here…? I know I’ve got a lot of catching up to do, but this is NEW news to me. The only thing I heard was well — when he was in a coma, and now he’s awake again, thankfully.

NO WONDER she worked with Tony, the both of them were more similar than she had thought – well, in terms of THIS instance anyway. Most of the time they were quite different but there were those similarities that did bring about a small chuckle from the Captain, earning that very same eyebrow raise he’d give to Stark when he was talking about his arsenal of expensive vehicles.

   ❛    Hey now, y’heard of HUMILITY, right, young lady? Stick to something low-key, that isn’t too bright.  


"So, I might have to fight a Dora to marry Azari. Got any super serum?" *is nervous*

@metalandcurls

UNDERSTANDABLY she had that posture about her; closed and looking rather SHIFTY, but within a string of words her case was explained, and Steve just stared at her wide eyed. With one answer, multiple questions arose. 

    ❛ Now WHY do you need to fight a Dora? — Have you spoken to T’Challa about this?

🔧→ ❝ Thanks, Steve. It’s bad enough they took my suit away in front of THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD. And trying to fire Amanda and MJ too…I just wish Tony was here…I…

          Tears begin to fall down from her eyes.

         ❝ I have back up suits and files of Tony’s A.I. And…Blade is gonna help me but…It’s not the same. Tony gave me that stuff! I was able to build it because of him. And I let him down.

image

NOTICING HER TEARS, instinct took over, and he found himself stepping closer to sling one arm around her, as the pang in his heart wasn’t something that he could ignore – for the most part she was showing a strong, unphased side to her, but he had to remember that she was young —- and emotions were all part of this gig, unfortunately. 

       ❛ Hey now... He hushed, gently rubbing her arm, You did NOT let Tony Stark down, Riri. Quite the opposite, actually, you’re his LEGACY – you’re standing tall as Iron Heart, and I’ve said this to him, too; a suit doesn’t make the hero, it’s the heart that does. We’re going to find Tony — if anyone can, it’s you. You can get through this, and you’re not alone either. See, you have Blade, Friday– me. Don’t forget that.

Riri:…..Old Man?

Shhhh, no one knows my secret.

🔧→ ❝ Wow! Um…Thank you, Steve. I keep forgetting you are the type to break the law. I always thought you’re some kind of goody-goody or something. But don’t worry, it’s only for a few days. You could help me convince my mom to come with me. I don’t like her being all alone.

image

MANY PEOPLE DID – they would consider the golden boy to be someone who CONSTANTLY stuck by the rules, but Steve was far from it – if something didn’t sit in line with his personal code of ethics, he would go against it. He replied with a calm tilt of his head to one side, almost as if to say ‘it goes to show’

        ❛  OF COURSE I can, we can get her and yourself to a safe place, keep you both out of harms way and out of the limelight. Sometimes keeping out of that sort of thing — does you the world of good.

🔧→ ❝ Just old people acting stupid–Uh, no offense. They think I could be a threat to the neighborhood. 

image

UNBELIEVABLE. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing – a superhero, a threat to the surrounding community? That sort of talk had given him wild flashbacks to the time that the registration act was being protested, which in turn brought a much deeper scowl to his expression.

         ❛   You save lives, Riri, I’m sure you don’t need me to reiterate what you’ve probably been trying to say, but honestly? This sort of talk really GRINDS my gears. Like I said, there’s always room with me and some of the other folks, but I understand wanting to dig your heels in and put up a fight.

🔧→ ❝ Things are WEIRD at Stark Industries and my old house. I think the city council is gonna ban me. Can I stay with you? 

image

—  ❛  Weird? How so? — Either way, you know you’ve always got a place to stay Riri, it may not be the tower but my place in Brooklyn is big enough for a couple o’ folks. Hold on, did you say the city council is going to ban you? Riri, what’s going on? ❜
