so for anyone who doesn’t know, torunn has more or less been moved over to my multi muse @delphiia so if anyone here is still keen on writing with her, that’s where she is.

“Torunn, you’re smart. I expected more from you.” He frowned and looked away. “If you want Azari to get messed up in the head with hormones and penis problems than that’s just… you’re going to be wishing you thought differently when we’re trying to save the world and Azari’s useless with this penis stuff.” 

“All you’re going to do is end up on Azari’s bad side--and we all know that isn’t somewhere anyone wants to be.” It was hardly an easy feat to end up on bad terms with Azari. He was remarkably level headed. Or perhaps he only seemed as much when compared to the rest of them. “I’m sure he can manage both saving the world and...that. Without your input on the subject.”

“He did? What’d you tell him?” It was still hard to come to terms with the fact the little kid he’d watched learn to walk was asking questions about the dating scene. “I’m gonna get arthritis, aren’t I?” Leave it to James to start whining and make the situation more dramatic than it needed to be. “I can’t-—we’re all elderly now and I’m sticking up for Francis. Something’s wrong, Torunn.” 

“To be himself--but also what isn’t appropriate to ask someone. It was an...interesting conversation.” By which Torunn meant thoroughly horrifying, and a complete shock to the system. “Oh yeah, with all those ridiculous landings you do? Your knees are doomed.” She replied, trying not to laugh at him. “Look on the bright side--we’re both blonde, so it will be more difficult to notice when we inevitably start getting grey hairs.”

sonofasymbol:

“Pym’s not even a—a baby anymore. We’re really old, Torunn.” There was no denying the team had all grown into independent young adults, but maybe that’s what scared James the most. How long would it be before the others didn’t really need him around anymore? “I’m not, but he’s the idiot that isn’t here to defend himself.” He frowned, muttering under his breath. “He’d do the same for me.”

“No, Pym’s started asking me about girls. He’s--” Maybe it was because she’d been closer with Pym, but the whole thing was unsettling. The realisation that her baby siblings were no longer that. “Yeah, we are. I’m not sure I’m okay with that.” It took everything Torunn had not to roll her eyes. “Calm down, would you?”

milehighmechanic:

his smile is bittersweet – how does he describe pepper potts? “she was beautiful. and smart. and she never put up with my shit.” and wasn’t that what he had loved the most? “to be fair, being mad at me was probably in her job description. first day i met her, she threated my bodyguards with pepper spray just so she could come and yell at me.” their bickering might have driven everyone else mad sometimes, but it had always been a part of their relationship. 

but tony turns his attention back to torunn, tries not to focus on the past. he smiles softly at his girl, a heavy ache in his chest. he’d tried so hard to make a family for his kids. it’s almost bewildering to acknowledge that he succeeded. “you have us, sure. always. but that doesn’t mean this family won’t get bigger one day.”

the nostalgia in his voice is enough to sting; it’s not like they didn’t always know tony was someone else before all this, that his life had been more complicated than he’d been willing to divulge. “sounds like you needed it.” torunn keeps her voice light, teasing; this is important, and she wants to know. but part of that means not pushing too hard too fast, lest all of it be packed away again, not to be discussed for another many years.

their family was an oddity, and always would be. a haphazard collection of people who no longer fit anywhere else, didn’t have anyone else. it wasn’t a bad thing, merely the fabric that comprised them. “that’s a horrifying thought. i can barely handle it as it is.” it was a joke of course, but that didn’t mean the knowledge that eventually outsiders would have to become a part of their lives was comfortable. not yet. maybe one day.

sonofasymbol:

“A little.” He sneers, shocked at himself for even admitting such a thing. But it was true, they weren’t just a bunch of sheltered little kids anymore. “He’s not that bad at it.” Was he really defending Francis? Is this what old age had done to him? 

“Me too.” She admitted somewhat reluctantly. This hadn’t even occurred to her as something she had to deal with in the near future--her siblings being all...grown up. “He’s not that good at it either.” Torunn snorted. “But by all means, mount the Francis Defense Squadron.”

[crownedthunder]

radiieuse:

“It’s no trouble at all. It’s hot enough that I would buy the entire cart’s contents, if I could afford it. It can’t be comfortable for you either.” She smiled and indicated with a tiny jerk of her chin, “Shall we?” before heading across the park towards the cart. “What led you here, if I might ask? It’s not exactly the nicest of days to be out.” She was assuming that Torunn was in high school or some such, and was trying to ask, in a roundabout way, whether she was bunking school.

Torunn felt like she should protest more but--well, it did sound nice, and it was rather warm out. So she nodded, and followed behind the woman. “I was simply curious--I haven’t lived here very long. My siblings and I just moved here, and I was feeling...adventurous.” By which she meant, Agent Hill had told them to stay in the tower and they had decided to ignore her. Or at least Torunn had, she supposed it was a little easier or her to leave by flight than it was trying to sneak out the front door.

sonofasymbol:

“If that’s what you wanna call it.” He’s immensely proud of his brother for putting himself out there, but also slightly mortified. Weren’t all his teammates barely hitting puberty like five minutes ago? “I know—–it doesn’t make sense. Who taught him that? He hasn’t been taking lessons from Barton, has he?” 

“Aw, feeling old are we?” Because she sure was. In the back of her mind, an image of carrying a much younger Azari to bed flares up. Oh, how the times have changed. Torunn tried not to snort--and failed. “Implying that Francis is any good at it, somehow I have my doubts.”

[sonofasymbol]

@crownedthunder​ || starter call ! 

“They grow up so fast.” The blond wipes away an imaginary tear, gesturing to where Azari happens to be chatting up the new girl. Where would they all be if James wasn’t there to be melodramatic? He bumps his shoulder against his sister’s, a mischievous glint in his eye. “He needs a wingman. I’ve been waiting to help him with this for years.” 

[crownedthunder]

“Heartwarming isn’t it?” With perhaps a slight sprinkling of abject horror on top. Torunn hadn’t realised they were all getting so old. “Sorry to be the crusher of dreams, but it doesn’t look like Azari needs help.” Which was a completely separate kind of horror for her as an older sister. When did Azari get all...smooth.

He snickered like he’d heard the most funniest not accurate joke ever, briefly falling to his knees before he got back up. “Well it’s wrong, extremely. He’s the worst out of all of us. How long have you known him exactly? Or did you listen to biased stories or one from an Avenger that will be honest? You’re either uneducated, don’t know Stark well enough or he’s hiding his true nature from you that I’ve seen long before I was Spidey. The day playboy scum is better than me is the day I take the lives of my enemies, neither will ever be. I’m usually the one that tells jokes, trying to take my stick? How dare you.. But! Sign up for comedy, please!” And then he started walking, following his scanner’s signal. 

Her expression remained entirely deadpan--the only sign of any growing annoyance a twitch of her eyebrow. “No, how foolish of me to think that I in fact know anything about a man I’ve known my entire life, who has taken care of me since I was a small child, who protected myself and my team for years. Absurd. You must obviously know better, since apparently you have such a close personal relationship. How ridiculous of me.”

[crownedthunder]

henrypymjr:

“What part of protectors of the universe do you not get with, Torunn? WE MUST PROTECT THE TIME CONTINUUM. And if Azari is BLINDED by his PENIS we need to help him! We need to make sure he sees that this could have /dire/ effects on everyone.” He shook his head, “I don’t remember it. I thought that… our parents just built us? And like you were just accidentally shipped to the wrong place. Though. I kind of got confused about the whole robot parents thing. Like. That didn’t really fit with the baby build thing. I kind of thought maybe Tony just got knock off parts and that’s why they looked robotic and we didn’t? And Asgardians had special parts? To be honest, it could have been one of my dinosaur days and I just wasn’t paying attention.” 

“We’re meant to protect the world from evil robots and bad people--not Azari’s potential personal life. Leave Azari be, I promise, nothing good is to be gained by meddling.” Now all she could do was hope Pym listened to her. “Not...quite. No, I was not accidentally shipped to the wrong place. It’s all a little more complicated than that. And the robot parents certainly didn’t help make anything less confusing.” Torunn, personally, just didn’t want to be present when Pym was properly informed of the reality of the matter. By which she means receiving The Talk from Tony herself was bad enough.

isxhoolxdyxu:

“Nope, when you’ve been doing this for thirteen years, been through a lot, died at a point. It surprises you when people have no idea who you are. If you want arrogant, Stark Tower is that way. Torunn? Where have I heard that before… Thor’s child?” 

“--I stand by my point. Tony isn’t half as arrogant. Yes, the one and only. Shockingly I exist in my own right too.”

[crownedthunder]

milehighmechanic:

“the redhead. yeah.” he glances sideways at the teenager, an eyebrow raised, but in the end he just sighs, relaxing back into the couch. tony doesn’t like to focus on the past. he’s always been a futurist — maybe because his past has always hurt too much. 

“we had a complicated relationship.” both unofficial and official breaks scattered their relationship. it had never been easy for them — even without iron man tony was a difficult person. and yet. pepper had always been there for him. “but she was probably the love of my life.” words he would never have spoken out loud before the war. tony has a lot of regrets, but this is one that he holds very close to his heart.  

the old man glances at torunn again, a tired smile as he looks at the teen who is practically an adult now. “the point is. you have to have something good to fight for. and it always helps when you have someone to come back home to.” 

“what was she like?” as awful as it might sound, it was hard to imagine tony with anyone--not because he didn’t deserve it, no one deserved happiness more than him--but simply because it had been just them for so long. even francis had been a jarring change to life. 

a small smile quirked her lips. “so she was mad at you a lot, huh?” it was a nice image forming in her head; tony, younger, less world weary, smiling, being scolded lovingly by the tall red headed woman from the photos he kept that he thought none of them had seen. a better world, a safer one. he deserved that, didn’t he? “she sounds wonderful.”

she laughed softly, but her face was warmer now, less severe, less...gone. “i think that’s easier said than done. i have you lot, don’t i? you’re enough to worry about.”

[crownedthunder]

isxhoolxdyxu:

“Spider-Man. You didn’t know? How about you?”

“That seems rather arrogant--no, I didn’t. I’m Torunn.”
