Dangerous…Bucky knew that brains could be just as awful as brawn and nodded in return. For the moment, the criminal was strung up and definitely not going anywhere. His best option when transporting him would be to talk as little as possible. The more he engaged, the greater the chance he would be manipulated. Bucky knew his mind was weak at the edges. It was best not to give some asshole anything he could use to break him. By ‘interesting looking’, he could only conclude the man meant his arm. That tended to be the first thing people noticed. “Nice to meet you,” he replied, not sure if ‘Mysterio’ was his name or an alias, most likely the latter. Did that mean he should give a false name? Oh hell. “Bucky,” he replied, shaking the other’s hand with his metal one. Paranoia was standard. If he was going to get stabbed, he would rather have the metal arm take the first strike. “I take it your fights went well?”

“They went exceedingly well.” Mysterio hadn’t done any fighting aside from the final bout with Octavius. He helped from afar, making locations appear closed off and that there were multiple spider-people in one location. It was a disorienting experience for the villains who had tried so hard to thwart the web-slingers. Mysterio was happy to help and happy to take the credit for saving the city that the others so easily shrugged off. “How did your fights go? From my understanding, everybody has been quite busy.” Mysterio felt for the other heroes but was also glad he didn’t have to venture out into space. He’d have to create a new suit specifically designed for space travel. “Which of those dastardly villains did you fight, Bucky?”

Gotham City was a treasure trove of abandoned buildings and derelict amusement parks which made it an ideal place for people with something to hide. Quentin was one of those people and within a long-abandoned theatre, he was able to scheme to his heart’s content. Remnants of plans long since past and those that had yet to see the light of day lined the stage. Mysterio was always cooking up bigger and better shows for his adoring public. If anybody were to wander inside of his lair they would realize that the man was a phony. Which is why Quentin froze upon realizing that somebody had stumbled into the theatre. He had been certain that his illusions would have deterred anybody from entering but whoever this person was had seen past them or outright ignored them. Mysterio hovered high above the stage, coating the seats and his surroundings in a glittering fog that obscured everything but himself. “Show yourself or face the wrath of Mysterio!”

How wonderfully unfortunate. Mysterio watched from afar as every member of the Sinister Six was apprehended. Even Scarecrow and his sorry excuse for a hallucinogen had been thwarted by Spider-man and his friends. Doctor Octavius had been kind enough to extend an invitation to his little group to Quentin but he politely refused. He wouldn’t tarnish his reputation by being associated with the rabble. Instead, he acquired as much information as he could about where and when the villains would strike and supplied it to the crime-fighters. Mysterio teamed up with Spider-man during the final confrontation and helped the web-slinger as much as he could. Octavius cursed his name as Peter strung him up much to his amusement. He had played both sides and still came out on top.  In the confusion following the battle he had lost track of Spider-man and was left with a very angry Doctor Octopus. Peter had been kind enough to cover his mouth with webbing to muffle the obscenities he spat like fire. Mysterio smirked at his would-be ally as his bubble dissolved and revealed his face to Octavius. “You need to learn that crime doesn’t pay, Otto. Why be a villain when you can be a hero and have the world eating out of your hand?” Quentin poked the man square in his forehead, sending him swinging back and forth in the cacoon Spider-man had made for him out of webbing. Catching movement in his peripheral vision he looked over his shoulder, offering a smile in greeting. “Are you here to take him off my hands?”

Quentin was out of this world good looking and certainly a man who was great for the cameras, something Julian noted right away but didn’t think much of it. “Sure thing, but all of that will require more than one session just to get it right. Few days, maybe weeks when and if you’re free and I’ll make sure you’re in the top of your game with my…tips.” The young mutant blushed at the older male whose flirtations were thrown right back at him. Everybody else seemed to be admiring the conversation and finding the new hero to be a friend of the people. “And yet I’m here before you and not them, just a clear statement of where I’d rather be, and yeah that’s with you.” giggling he ate it all up as the male kissed his knuckles as they stared into each other’s eyes. “I’m definitely not busy.” he mused and looked as the man took the time to make sure all eyes were on him. “Originally from Russia, moved to New York when I was six years old, and now I go back and forth between here and Gotham.”

So much innuendo. At this rate, he was going to be able to cut through it with a knife. On top of his playful banter, a familiar tension filled the air and Quentin recognized it with a smirk. “I can definitely clear up my afternoon to make time for you, boy.” Not that he was doing anything particularly fascinating after this. Quentin had planned on going home, ditching the outfit and coming up with more elaborate schemes to win over the people. He offered his arm for Julian to take so they could follow the path of a nearby park. “That explains the lack of an accent. It’s still there but very faint.” Quentin smiled as he spoke. Being a ‘trained’ actor he loved to study accents and listening to Julian speak was proving to be quite a delight. “I’m genuinely surprised that you’re spending your afternoon with me. Given your appearance, you could surely have anybody else. Or did you want to break in the new hero on the block yourself, hm?”

Julian’s interest was certainly piqued by the masked man, a new hero to make a debut like this would surely attract his attention. “I can tell, and well let me know if you’re ever in the mood for some cardio, might be able to give you some tips.” he smirked. “Not that it looks like you need any, but just in case you might be interested.” His smile was genuine as he waited for the man’s response, and once that laugh came forward. It made him feel a little but lighter after hearing it, and smile at the man’s words. “Good to hear, I kind of feel a lot safer with you around now, plus the costume’s really well designed and the entire color scheme is captivating, but not as much as the man.” Once he saw the man behind the mask his brows shot up, not only was he quite the hero, but he was a dashing man behind it all as well. “No it doesn’t, but it ever hurts to see more, The world could always use more heroes.” he grinned. “Hopefully you’ll make it mine later tonight.”

Julian certainly was a charmer. He reminded Quentin of the smooth talkers in Hollywood who knew exactly what to say no matter the situation. “Thanks, kid. I’ll definitely take you up on that. I’m always looking to improve my technique.” Quentin shot a wink at Julian and played into his flirting. He was just as skilled with his tongue as the other and in him, the mutant would find a worthy opponent for the spoken word. “You flatter me, Julian. Surely there are other heroes much more deserving of your attention.” Quentin caught his hand and brought it to his lips, kissing over his knuckles while his pale blue eyes regarded his deep brown. “If you’re not busy I’ll definitely make it yours.” Releasing his grip on his hand he stood upright and smirked down at the mutant. As much as he wanted to keep on flirting with Julian he had to bide his time. If he wanted to win the other over in more than a carnal sense he had to play his cards right. Quentin wanted to be adored for more than his good looks. “Are you from Metropolois?”

reed usually preferred simpler things in life, next to his inventions of course. dinners with stu and the rest of the team, spending time with his kids, and a sunny day at the park. “i do, my husband and my kids aren’t home this weekend and my brother in law is busy with his friends” johnny was rather popular and usually was with peter parker or one of their other friends. seeing the kids, reed could imagine valeria commenting how the structure of the jungle gym was weak and badly constructed and nathaniel would rather play in his own pocket dimensions. “thank you, quentin. it’s a pleasure to meet you too but please - call me reed”

Being a married man only served to make Reed more attractive in Quentin’s eyes. He had been doubly sure to check for a wedding ring just in case. When he found one he smirked to himself. What luck. “Can do, Reed. When I was finished with my run I was gonna go get a quick cup of tea.” He jabbed a thumb over his shoulder, “Would you be interested in going with me? Think of it as thanks for saving the city god knows how many times.” Quentin had a feeling that Reed wouldn’t object. He was way too polite to turn down the gift of a grateful stranger. That and Quentin was all too aware of how charming he was. All he had to do was bat his lashes and shoot the man a smirk and he’d have him eating out of the palm of his hand.

unlike most heroes, the future foundation didn’t hide behind a mask of mystery. everyone knew that reed richards was mr. fantastic - it didn’t help that his inventions were highly sought after, though his family could protect themselves if attacked. after all, they were the fantastic four. but he liked a nice, quiet afternoon in the park while he enjoyed his burger and tried to help his mind get refreshed for the equation he was working on. “hello” he greeted the man who sat next time, as he took another bite of the burger. “it is. not a cloud in the sky”

Interesting. Even a world-renown hero enjoyed the simpler things in life. “I’m surprised that you’re all by yourself. Don’t you have a family? I would’ve expected them to be here with you.” Quentin scanned the area, ignoring the sense of longing he felt when he saw children running past. Being an only child he never knew what it meant to have younger siblings but as he got older he couldn’t ignore the nagging sensation of wanting a child of his own. “I’m Quentin, by the way. I’m new in the area. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr.Fantastic. I’m a huge fan.”

Julian had been close enough to the scene to see everything and for the most part he was just glad it was all over. He didn’t want to have to do anything that would bring attention to himself as a mutant especially under the current political climate and laws surrounding him. This new guy though, he was truly something and he liked to show off which was interesting. Magik hummed in response as he waited in line to meet the great Misterio. Once the crowd disappeared he finally had the chance to come forward, beaming up at the dome-headed hero and offering his phone for a selfie. “Who knew there would be a new hero the people would be crushing on now?” he smirked keeping himself pressed flush against the man for their pictured. “Oh and apparently he’s got some muscle under all this armor,” he grinned. “So Misterio, good work out there. Can’t to see you out in the field more, maybe even more than that.” The mutant mused as he looked the illusionist up and down. 

Mysterio met Julian with a chuckle as the younger man pressed against him for a picture. He politely held the other by his hip, posing for the selfie before relaxing his stance. In reply to the compliment, he merely shook his head, blowing it off with a wave of his hand. “Thank you! I do my best to keep in shape. You never know who might be watching.” Hidden beneath the swirling fog that obscured his face Quentin lifted his brows. This boy certainly was forward. Fate rewarded the bold and Julian was treated to a laugh of approval. Already he had his first admirer and would-be ingenue. This was far too easy. “I plan on helping as much as I can when necessary. This city has its fair share of trouble and there’s no shortage of heroes, that’s for certain.” He made it so his mask dissolved around his face, revealing it to the young mutant. Quentin ran a hand through his neatly styled hair and smirked. “I’m Mysterio and I can assure you the pleasure is all mine.”

reed had been working on a new formula for days now and was hitting a wall, he couldn’t figure out how to solve the equation that would help him build his next machine. being locked away in his laboratory had prevented the hero from being able to think and eventually he assumed that he needed to go out and refresh his eyes with something new to help clear his mind. going for a walk, the leader of the future foundation ordered a burger and ended up at the local park near the baxter building. 

sitting at a bench, the father watched a few kids playing on the playground just a few meters away while he started eating his lunch. “oh, hello” he said when somebody sat next to him on the bench.

[ersatzhero-blog]

Quentin was happy to entertain himself with the mundane and trivial. Even up and coming celebrities such as himself partook in simple activities like taking a jog through the park. Mysterio ran at least a mile whenever he could afford to do so. When he wasn’t coming up with grand battles in his head he was doing his best to keep himself in top physical condition. He always had to be camera-ready and he knew paparazzi could be vicious. Quentin was in no way that famous yet but he liked to be prepared. After half a mile he decided he needed to take a break. In a short-sleeved shirt and jogging shorts, he sat on a bench, paying no heed to the man beside him. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees as he took a moment to catch his breath. “Hi.” Quentin greeted the man beside him with a casual nod of his chin before he realized who he was speaking to. Reed Richards was there in the flesh and he was just as handsome as he had heard. “Nice day, isn’t it?” Quentin regarded the other casually, acting like meeting the other wasn’t one of the more exciting things to happen to him thus far.
