[ Indie Misty Knight RP Blog. ] " It could be your brother, or your sister, or your children. I want justice for all of them. And I want justice for all the people whose lives are bought and sold, so that a few big shots can climb up on their backs, and laugh at the law, and laugh at human decency." --Foxy Brown.

❛ If this had been enough to kill you, you should probably rethink your career path, Ms. Knight. ❜ Reed glanced up from the device long enough to offer some poignant sarcasm. After a moment, he glanced back down at it and offered a small smile. Without much thought, he moved his left hand to the left and it immediately began to stretch across the length of his laboratory room. Once it had grown to nearly twice its normal length, it reached its destination—a wall of tools on the opposite side of the room. With elegant fingers, he pulled a couple of different sized screw drivers and a multitool off of the wall. As his hand returned to its normal length, he returned the glance to her. ❛ If this could kill anything more than a bunny rabbit, I’d be surprised. ❜

He scoffed and his tone reeked of condescension. He’d known a thing or two about death devices in his day and this was no death device, much as the wielder might’ve thought it could be. With one screw driver, he switched a couple of plates around, moved a few cables and plugged them into new homes before replacing the cover and turning it onto its side. WIth his multi-tool, he made a few modifications to the rest of its components and then hoisted it up onto his shoulder. ❛ Now, if this were to go off, it’d be the rough equivalent of a FatMan or LittleBoy. I’m sure you’re familiar with that. ❜

   “ What makes you think I don’t all the time?”

   It’s not so bad once she gets in the thick of it. It’s all instinct and cop training and kung fu. But when that bullshit wakes her up at 3am, or interrupts her lunch, or a date, or even a nap, she reconsiders her career choice. Does the city really need one more person trying to save it? She couldn’t quit if she tried though.

   As she sees him replacing parts instead of taking them off and keeping them off, she knows where he’s going. She knows exactly what he’s going to do (well, not exactly, but overall, she knows.) Her hand pinches the bridge of her nose, and no, she’s not even going to open her eyes to see the finished product. “ Did you really just make the not-death device into an actual death device just to prove a point? I could have just let Tony play with it if I wanted that to happen.”

“If life has taught me anything, it’s that I can take a punch.”

Sense8 Season One Sentence Starters

   “ I’d ask if that’s a superhero requirement, but I don’t think Hawkeye ever learned to do that.”

[ironarchived]

                     ❛     only if you wanted to.  but misty                you should know,  you’re  exactly  the kind of person i’d want representing my company.  you might think or feel like it but you  are  a hero,  one that  thousands of people  in this city already look up to.  YOU’D BE PERFECT  for it.  but it’s your choice.  you certainly don’t owe me anything.     ❜

[harlemlullaby]

   “ Thousands?” Somehow she doubts it. She’d be surprised if a hundred people remembered who she was. “ I mean. . . if it’ll be helping other amputees then, I couldn’t turn it down. Waking up with some part of you missing, it’s. . .”

   She can’t even put the feeling into words. The shock that carries over from hearing that some limb will be removed to waking up after it’s been taken is like the planet being moved out from under you.

   “ If I can give somebody something to look forward to, then. . . Yeah, I guess I’m your girl.”

[reclaimedasset-a]

                                ❝See, I don’t think constantly mockin’ me is HILARIOUS                                but I guess I just have a more tasteful sense of humor                                that doesn’t rely on insult.❞

The soldier is still smirking to assure her that he isn’t really annoyed, nor is he insulted by her CONSTANT talk of his age. Had it really bothered him, he’d have left by now. While he won’t admit it, some of the things she says are pretty funny and he can give back as good as he gets.

                               ❝Manly wiles? You really distracted that easily? I’m                                thinkin’ you’ve got a thing for older men if that’s the case,                                sweetheart. Maybe that’s why you’re teasin’ me, huh?                                This you flirtin’?.❞

[harlemlullaby]

   “ Well,” she drawls. “ Suppose I just thought you were tough enough to take it. I ain’t easy to deal with, as you can see. So far, so good.”

   It’s true, she knows it. She’s something difficult on a good day. Stubborn, opinionated, prone to sarcasm and a mighty temper. The fact that he does actually find her antics amusing and has yet to get offended bodes well for the future. And, of course, the point of her being funny.

   “ I might, and I might be,” she begins, trailing her index finger up his arm. Also totally not flirting. But actually flirting though. “ But if you think a sense of humor is attractive, then I’ve been flirting this whole time. Because I’m way funnier than you.”

[harlemlullaby]

   “ You could look less excited about it, you’re supposed to be destroying this big thing, not taking it to the science fair. Somebody tried to kill me with this, you know.”

   She doesn’t actually know that the big. . . whatever it is can kill her. But she was threatened with it. And she doesn’t trust Tony Stark to not play with it and send them into the Twilight Zone when all she wants is the damn thing taken apart and rendered useless.

[reclaimedasset-a]

                                  ❝You’re never gonna let this ‘old man’ thing go, are you?                                  You’re worse than Sam, or even Nat.❞

Both he and Steve had put up with her 'dinosaur’ comments for a while now but she was nowhere near as persistent with them. God forbid the those three ever met, they’d never hear the end of the terrible quips and jokes.

                                 ❝I’m guessin’ all the old folks have a Jitterbug? See,                                  these jokes only work if I know what you’re talkin’                                  about, at least then I can pretend to be insulted by them                                  like I haven’t heard them all before, sweetheart.❞

There’s little she can say that will really bother him but he doubts that’s her intention anyway, there’s nothing wrong with a little playful teasing between friends as long as it’s done respectfully.

[harlemlullaby]

   “ You realize you not knowing what it is only makes it worse right? Like when parents finally figured out what Facebook was and get their own Instagrams, five years after literally everybody else.”

   The answer is no, she’s not going to let this go. He will always be that much older than her and it will always be funny. At least she hasn’t started in with the fossil or antique jokes yet. 

   “ Hey, hey, hey. Don’t go trying to distract me with your manly wiles. You started all this when you questioned how funny I was. I’ve proven I’m hilarious.”

[punxsher-blog]

(  smoke clings to his hair and turns the back of his throat raw but she’s    in far worse shape than he is. he at least had his gear to offer some    protection. pursed lips and narrow eyes are the only response to the    crack as he studies her. damn…she needs a doctor. it would be easier    to drop her here and let her figure it out. easier, but still not the right    course of action.  )

Don’t go patting me on the back. The rocket that started the fire was  aimed at me.

[harlemlullaby]

   “ Don’t be ridiculous,” she rasps--ugh, is that really her, rasping? How disgraceful. “ You’re enormous, I can’t reach your back to pat it.”

   He’s looking at her like she’s in bad shape. She is not in bad shape. She just looks like it. She’s had worse. At least she still has all her parts this time. 

   “ I know!” Her vehemence makes her cough a little. Goddamn, fires are just the worst. Cling to you for days, she’ll be hacking like a smoker for a week. She’d rather a fight with the likes of Rhino. “ You need better enemies, that one has shit aim.”

[reclaimedasset-a]

                                  ❝You realize I’m only just thirty, right? I’m not OLD and                                  I definitely don’t make old man noises when I stand.❞

The occasional grumble wasn’t ‘old man noises’ when it wasn’t from pain or struggle, his noises came from sheer laziness and reluctance to leave his comfortable position. He refused to believe that would count, especially since he was fairly sure most teenagers grumbled for the very same reason.

                                 ❝I’m gettin’ the feelin’ you’re just jealous that I get away                                  with all of that and still know how to use the internet,                                  have a decent phone. All the perks of bein’ old without                                  any of the drawbacks.❞

[harlemlullaby]

   “ Uh-huh.”

   He totally makes old man noises. 

   At his internet and decent phone comment, she makes a face of ‘oh, is that where we’re going?’ and prompting pulls her phone back out. She has yet another thing to show him before he gets too proud of himself there.

   “ Hell yeah I’m jealous, Denny’s breakfast is great. I can’t wait ‘til I’m sixty so I can go every Sunday with the rest of the old folks. And I’m sure you can surf the net and have a decent phone. They make one specifically for you. It’s called a Jitterbug.”

   Specifically, “the simple cell phone for seniors.”

I was finally able to put aside some time here and there to finish this illustration.  I was supposed to draw Misty Knight a while ago, but its always better late than never, right?  I say we need a Heroes for Hire movie…

shipping meme

I can’t find a meme I really like, so I compiled some of my favorite questions and added some of my own! (feel free to use this anyone)

send me a pairing and I’ll tell you who:

falls asleep on the couch

makes friends with the neighbors

is the adventurous eater

hogs the covers at night

forgets to do the dishes

tries to surprise their partner more often

leaves dirty laundry on the floor

stays up til 2 AM reading

sings in the shower

takes the selfies

plans date night

[reclaimedasset-a]

                              ❝Hey, I like my sleep, there’s nothin’ wrong with that.                              I’ll sleep anywhere, that isn’t anythin’ to do with age.❞

Not entirely true, really, it had a lot to do with his lack of sleep over the last few decades. It was about time he had some moments to relax, to fall asleep wherever he pleased without worrying about being attacked for it.

                             ❝..Right. Not really my thing. Not enough space                              battles and sci fi. I’ll stick to my shows, thanks, you                              keep your old fogey stuff.❞

[harlemlullaby]

   “ That has everything to do with age. I bet you make old man noises when you stand up from sitting too.”

   Tony did that once and nearly had a stroke. Which wouldn’t have helped his sudden life crisis, but at the time it was funny. Hell, it’s always funny. Soon he’ll take to blaming other people for making him turn gray.

   “ I’m not the one that gets the senior citizen discount at Denny’s. That’s restricted to you and Steve. I have to pay full price just like the other young people.”
