     ✈︎ —⎾ She looks beautiful. The dress is better than anything his imagination could provide. Lila had always said he was isn’t that imaginative with fashion, much better had holding the bags whilst she picked out something that wasn’t either conservative or belonged in the 1980s. Not that his tomboy niece would be caught dead in a dress, but he figures that even she would say that Carol looks stunning. When she gets back from her trip in space, he’ll have to introduce the two. Carol will be a far better influence on Lila than Tony has even been. Maybe he’ll take her home to his parents too. He knows his mom would love her, his dad would probably be happy to just see him settle down.  She is on him as soon as he opens the window, hand teasingly resting on his chest and making his lower brain wish that he’d agreed with her idea of a lace number. He leans in, kissing her plush pink lips as soon as they finish speaking. It was chaste and romantic, the sort of kiss that if you are lucky, you end a first date on. Yet they had mastered the kissing by now, and it felt so good to not have to sneak behind a wall or closet to kiss her.⏌

I’m thinking dinner. Definitely dinner. Even if you didn’t show off a lace number to the citizens of New York, I want to show you off in this one to some lucky folk. 

    ⎾ Jim’s hands rests on her hips, ties now forgotten as he continues to admire her beauty and remember just how lucky he was to be getting this. He also knows he’d have to saviour this night and whatever she gifts him with, as who knows how long he’ll have to rely on his imagination to keep him going. He is going to miss her, not as much as Jessica, but enough to make him want to hold on tight for as long as possible.  ⏌

I’m not going to lie, part of me would rather have us stay here. You do have a better imagination out of the both of us. 

But we’ll go out. Got a preference on the food?

[colonelpunchalot]

     ✸ —⎾ The little black dress she was wearing just happened to be something she'd found on the way, thanks to a certain Neiman Marcus billboard. She thought it looked cute enough and the way he'd stared at her made it all worth wearing the lace number even if it wasn't the one she'd teased him with previously. His reactions to her gestures were more than enough. He's a goofball and she loves it. The kiss he gave her was sweet and very much wanted. ⏌

Jim, this is a lace number. In the end, both of us win, even if this wasn't what I originally promised.

    ⎾ She teases. She wants to see if it'll cause a grin if not a light blush. Food, hm. Cheeseburgers might not be appropriate in this attire. ⏌

I don't, actually. I'm not even sure if I'm really all that hungry but I'll make an exception just so we both have energy for the second part of your gift.

    ⎾ Carol leans forward to whisper the following into his ear: We wouldn't want you to tire midway through, would we? A smirk follows her words and a firm kiss followed. To be perfectly honest, she knew this night would flash in no time at all, so she wanted to make it as enjoyable as possible until she'd come back from space. At which point, she'll hopefully not only find herself but be able to be properly be better to him. She does feel like she's cheating him out of what he deserves. Carol knows well and true that she's been more than lucky to have a guy like Rhodey, but even more so that he's just a blessing and the most supportive man she'd ever fallen for. ⏌

Surprise me.

     ✈︎ —⎾ She didn’t owe him anything, but Jim could not disagree that he would like a little black lace number before she left. Either her interpretation, or his. But her’s was so much better.                 The familiar whiz of passing traffic brought fantasy that angled towards her interpretation, and he found himself dry mouthed and scrambling up from his slouched position on his couch to rush into his bedroom. If she was going all out, he might as well live up to his part.⏌

Well, no. You don’t owe me. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to see you in it. I know you’re flying, but the question is, what are you flying in? If it’s your idea of a little black lace number, the stargazers of New York are in for a marvellous treat tonight. 

            ⎾ If he had the time, he would have patted himself on the back for that. However she could change at will and was flying to his apartment. If he didn’t move it, she’d be here in time to find him in just his boxers and socks. The socks always took the appeal out of that look.                Putting his phone on loudspeaker and throwing it onto the bed, Jim stripped with an efficiency only military life could have instilled in him. After shoving the used clothes into the wash, he grabbed his deodorant –– no one wants him forgetting that – applied it and hunted down his clothing. Shirt. Slacks. Better Boxers. Fresher Socks. Suit Jacket… Damn, should he go for a sharp tie or go full out with a bow-tie. Maybe neither and he could show off his chest… ⏌

Hey, we’re both military kids. I might not be able to change my style with a thought, but efficiency was drilled into me. Precision too.              However, maybe you’re wonderful mind can offer me some advice. Tie, Bow-tie or no tie? 

[colonelpunchalot]

     ✸ —⎾ It's not so much that she owes him but more so that she doesn't see what's so bad with going out with him on one date before the two take a bit of a leave.  Nor is she doing this to make him stay and wait for her, it's neither thought running in her mind.  Instead, she was feeling lonely, more than a bit restless and she wanted to see him along with spending some quality time.  If it ends up involving good food and a little dressing up, so be it.  She has nothing against showing him off, he is, after all, one of the more handsome Avenger with a great body too.  Don't forget that personality either. ⏌

I know I don't owe you owe you, but I want to give you something you want. Something you asked for.

    ⎾ Smooth Rhodey, real smooth.  She can't help but to love the joke despite how lame it was. ⏌

Wouldn't they love the sight of that? But no, I decided traveling when not wanting to be bothered would make most sense in a darker version of my uniform. 

    ⎾ Carol has seen Rhodey perform selfless act after selfless act.  His support of letting her go to space is one of these things.  She knows well that he cares for her in the same way she cares for him and despite the words that could essentially tear them apart, he supported her and that is more than she could ever ask for.  She's been around many wonderful and supportive people since "awakening" from her memory loss.  This is why she needs to venture out and find herself and just as she was, she'd finally arrived to his building, knocking outside his bedroom window; all while a single thought had transformed her darkened costume into the style of dress he'd asked to see her in.  Hanging up, she waits for him to open up before making a decision.  A hand runs down his chest as she contemplates. ⏌

I suppose it all depends on what a first date with the great Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes involves.

[rhodeyrhodes-blog]

     ✈︎ —⎾ After the night he had, all Jim wanted was a drink. His Mama had instilled strict rules about drinking, or rather insisted that Jim Rhodes should never drink alone if it was possible. After all, didn’t want to end up like his twice removed uncle. Or Tony, but that wasn’t something neither of them ever voiced. He was half tempted to pay his best friend a visit. Leave his empty apartment and vent his problems to the man that was still teasing him about his recent adventure into the murky relationship waters. Jim was sure the teasing was really jealousy – Carol was beyond fine, and they’d both decided that long ago – yet let it go. He didn’t want to encourage Tony to hire a small fleet of messenger planes and have them flying around New York displaying his updated relationship status. Carol wanted to keep it under-wraps and even though he didn’t like he, Jim respected her wishes.                  His finger hovered over the call button – Maybe Clint would be better with this..? – yet without even coming to a decision, his phone began to buzz. And started playing that ridiculously sappy Top Gun song. Damn you, Tony. No matter how many times he changed it, Tony always seemed to change it back somehow. The tone only played for one contact, and it took Jim a few lines of Berlin for Jim to snap out of his daze to answer it.⏌ 

He–– Yes! Er … Yeah. Yeah, I’m free. 

            ⎾ Smooth, Rhodes. Real smooth. ⏌

[colonelpunchalot]

     ✸ —⎾ Had it not been for the fact that he was actually really cute despite how fail at suave he was being, she would have laughed loud enough to awaken her house guests.  Instead, she managed to stifle her laughter when she heard an annoyed and very much familiar hiss from her beloved pet, Chewie.  Hearing his words was all she needed, immediately her clothes began to change and she made her way out of her 'apartment' in Lady Liberty. ⏌

Good because I owe you a certain little black lace number before I leave, don't I?

    ⎾ With her phone pressed against her ear, she was headed towards his apartment. It was safe to assume by the fact that he didn't hesitate in replying to her, let alone you can't hear Tony behind him, that was where he was.  Yes, admittedly, she had assumed when she heard the term "little black lace number" he was talking about lingerie and to be fair, she has nothing against it but if he wants a date, and she does know she cares greatly for him, the least she can do is give him the one thing he's asked for before he sets her free.  For a year.  Or so.  As much as it pains her to think she'll be gone for so long from someone so wonderful, she could tell by the way he held him that he knows she feels somewhat lost, almost empty.  Like there's a part of herself she hasn't discovered and that it must be out there in space. ⏌

I'm almost there, flyboy. You don't want to keep me waiting in this.

Calling all Rhodey fans, readers of Captain Marvel #1, and members of Carol Corps!

Did you thoroughly enjoy today’s issue of Captain Marvel? Did you rejoice to see Carol back in a starring role on a page near you? Did you shout in triumph at the sweetness of the new relationship between Carol Danvers and one James Rhodes?

And, more to my point, are you interested in seeing more of Rhodey?

Well, if you didn’t already know, two weeks from today, March 26th, marks the release of the first issue of Iron Patriot, Rhodey’s new title!

Unfortunately, while Iron Patriot  was originally billed as an ongoing title, Marvel quietly bumped it down to a five-issue miniseries. Writer Ales Kot has said that if the first five issues sell well enough, then it could become an ongoing series once more! So, that’s where we come in!

Pre-order Iron Patriot in your local comic shop! Subscribe online! Buy it through Comixology! Make posts and tweet about it! Send Marvel letters about it through email ([email protected]) or print (135 W 50th St, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10020 & mark okay to print)!

Borrowing Carol’s spirit of never giving up, let’s help get Rhodey the on-going title he deserves!

[colonelpunchalot]

     ✸ —⎾ Carol has not left for space yet but instead is thinking of what it was Jim told her prior to parting ways despite her duties as well friend to the birthday gal.  She needed some air and the best way to get them was to do what she does best (and no one competes with her in this department), fly.  So now that she's home and ready to leave Kit and her mom to their own devices, Carol strolls through her phone and decides to give a particularly handsome man a phone call.  Ring.  Ring.  Ring.  God, she's impatient; so the moment she thinks he picked up she eagerly speaks. ⏌

You free?

[colonelpunchalot]

     ✸ —⎾ out of character:  guess who's back with a muse thanks to kelly sue's beautiful captain marvel #1? and here's a little promo for one of my favorite rpers ever. expect a reply spam after a follower spam spree. certain threads will prioritize over others (friends vs not) hope you don't mind! ⏌

[colonelpunchalot]

     ✸ —⎾ out of character:  i have forgotten to mention that i will be on a two week vacation and thus replies will be sporadic. it's a nine hour time difference and was a helluva long flight (13 hours). so...being exhausted i thought it'd be fair to at least inform about the situation, however vague it may be. ⏌

[colonelpunchalot]

     I was just told that my tattoo is "badass".

     ✸ —⎾ Carol's about ready to laugh forever. Not too long ago, Kit and her had gone and purchased matching temporary tattoos. It was something the younger of the two had insisted on because it looked just like her Marvel star. ⏌

          He obviously didn't get a close enough look because nothing says badass like a fake tattoo.

     ✸ —「 There are more than a few things that Carol hate: one of which is having a gun pointed at her. If someone were to doubt if she's ticked, they've got to be awfully stupid. Glancing side to side, she noted the costume of one guy that may or may not be associated with these punks. She glanced around before setting the game plan to "it's punching time". 」

Let's see if you point a gun at me again!

     ✸ —「 Now came the time that she moved swiftly and began smacking people around with just her fists and nothing more. 」

     ✸ —「 Carol is either clearly losing it or there's a Christmas elf standing there half a block away. Sliding her phone right into her pocket, she advances with her lucky hat (nothing can go wrong with it on) to figure out what's going on. 」

Nomad, right?

     ✸ —「 From what Carol's learned the woman she's about to encounter is Patsy. Unfortunately, she'd not spent too much time learning about the other since it seemed highly unlikely that the two would meet. Maybe it's about time she sits someone down and ask whom she should know. 」

Hey.
