that girl is a problem.

Psh, I do the best at terrible choices!

They’re asking for reform, but imposing it upon everyone without a discussion is never a good thing. I don’t know how they do this without seeing that. If they asked you for your opinion, what would you say or what reform options would you ask for?

I’d ask for reform in that, they want a list? Fine they can have a list of who’s risking their life to try and help so they know who isn’t the bad guy but only the information that person wanted to disclose. I want there to be an open dialogue there, but they shouldn’t try to arrest people for trying to help - that’s detrimental and past the point. I don’t even know what I’d ask for specifically but just let everybody talk, we’re not the bad guys here and we shouldn’t feel like it.

I just don’t know if having a group of non-powered folks holding the leash of the superpowered heroes is a good idea. They don’t know what it’s like. I don’t know. This whole thing just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The problem is they haven’t asked the powered community what they want, or tried to listen to them at all. That’s what’s wrong, there are people willing to talk but it has to go both ways.

Except it’s not so faceless. These are real people. Just because they have powers does not mean they should be militarized.

Exactly and people aren’t open about their abilities for a reason, while I hope the people in power wouldn’t misuse that information. There are always people who will and they won’t care about how they do it. Like threatening their loved ones in order to get what they want for example.

It is frustrating when the media makes slippery slope arguments for Registration.

It’s the scapegoat argument, everybody goes round and round the Mulberry bush because they want a faceless entity to blame rather than thinking about the people affected.

people being asked to register themselves with the government. How could this possibly go wrong??

There are no holes in this plan, it’s utterly flawless. Totally.

Fashion will become law, and order will be restored. Can’t wait. I’ll see you at the drop off. Because that just sounds really fucking cool.

Should we have codenames? I feel like we should have codenames.

Are you serious? Man, this keeps getting better and better. Well, join me. We’ll put this shit together together. I won’t tell Parker if you won’t. We can rule the world, taking down one big secret–and bad wardrobe–at a time.

Together we will rule the galaxy. Nobody will ever guess it’s us, until we take over the government and establish the prettiest dictatorship in the world.

Stay Alive || Kate & Peter (Hamilton AU)

She shouldn’t have written to the general.

Well Kate had and that was that, her husband wasn’t terribly high ranking - she doubted though that she could convince him to return Peter home. It wasn’t what they normally did, but still Kate had hoped that something would happen. Apparently being a woman meant that she didn’t have much clout despite being Derek Bishop’s younger daughter. She had money to her name, a brain in her head but that still didn’t mean much.

Even if Peter had gotten a significant social boost from marrying her.

Kate had only found out about her pregnancy fairly recently, well recently in the grand scheme of things. It had been what had prompted her to write to the general because at least Peter deserved to meet his child. They’d all fight in the war until it was won. She was certain that they’d win, Kate had to be - but still there was always the promise of casualties. Always the promise that she’d end up alone and raising their child, in the place they had uptown.

She didn’t like that thought, in fact Kate hated that thought.

Still maternity corsets were terrible, morning sickness was terrible and Kate often spent her time in the window seat reading. Their local newspaper was an interesting read, written by a Master Jameson who was...pro English. Kate didn’t like sponsoring them but she found it her only way to really keep up with the war efforts - or at last the only one that was close enough for her to get her hands on. It frustrated her a lot that she wasn’t able to do much, when she wanted to.

Letting out an irritated huff, Kate leant against the window and flipped the page of her newspaper. Trying to ignore the build up of anxiety that seemed ever present these days.

Bishop, I might as well have invented Gossip Girl. I’m a professional. I’ll save you a table.

If a blog comes out exposing everybody’s secrets, I’ll know who to call. Though I did attend a school very much like the school in Gossip Girl before I went to college. Uniforms and everything.

Leg Day, Why? || Kate & Open

Peter couldn’t help but smile when Kate was around. It was part of the reason that he loved her so – she always seemed to make him smile, even when things hadn’t been smile-worthy for a while.

Considering that she was a hero as well, and that she was patrolling the streets just as much as he was?

It was a gift.

“You’re always 90% of the badass in the room. Assuming that Captain Marvel isn’t there. Then you’re only 85% of it. Sorry.”

Her smile and her laugh were some of the most beautiful things he ever saw, and he knew just how gone he was over her. Peter stuck his hand inside his pocket, to feel the cool texture of the metal, just to reassure himself that it was still there. It was, and he turned it over a few times before he left the object in his pocket.

The man she called out to was taller than Peter by a few inches, and had a much broader chest, but Peter gave a short wave at ‘Ted’. His typical hoodie has been ditched for the summer, so Peter was just in a long sleeved thin shirt with a thinner tee shirt layered on top… and the suit, as present on his body as ever, but hidden under the long sleeves.

“Thanks,” Peter said to the mystery man, and then turned back to Kate. “Go get changed, I’ll guard your shit.”

#peter #para #leg day why?

“I will take that,” Kate said with a grin “But we are all reduced badasses in the presence of Captain Marvel,” Lowkey, Kate had a superhero girl crush on her - well actually it was more highkey and...did it really count as a girl crush if you were bi? Or was it just a regular crush? Either way, if Kate ever met her she'd probably follow her around and start yelling in a really loud voice about how great she was or something. But Captain Marvel probably had people who did that already, that and Kate did that to all the lady superheroes so what did it matter?

"If anybody steals my glitter pens, then I'll know who to blame," Kate said with an amused grin, as she reached up - yanking her ponytail down so that her hair came down in a dark crash. "I'm watching you Parker," she said - pointing at him before she headed back into the changing rooms. Kate was a quick changer by nature, if only because she'd never been one to fuss about that sort of thing anyway. Because that took time and also effort and Kate was not about that life, ever.

She showered quickly got changed and the brunette was back out again pretty rapidly, winding her hair up in a braid as Kate came out of the changing rooms. Noting a still wet strand of hair tucked against her cheek, she rolled her eyes a little but still shouted over "Everything still there?" she teased

Deal. Let’s meet at Esther’s? I’ll have the stuff, you have the gossip. We’ll make an excellent team.

Damn you strike a good bargain, it’s like Gossip Girl all over again.

What’s your poison? I’m willing to dish out a lot of pennies if it buys me dirt on Parker. I mean, I’m talking a lot of chocolate here, Bishop.

...I am easily swayed by chocolate, damn you. Peanut Butter M&M’s mostly, plus red vines. I can probably even trade you nerdy snapchat selfies.

He probably would. The damn bastard. You’ve got to give me something to ruin his life with her. Come on, I’m begging you.

I take bribes in the form of candy and cat gifs.

Well that’s the best thing Iv’e heard all day. Can’t wait to rub that in Parker’s face.

You say that but I think he’d agree. Dogs are the best.

“Nope,” Peter said, blushing slightly, remembering a time he had actually followed a girlfriend around, when he was scared for her safety but they were on a break. “Your gym keeps calling me. Like, I didn’t even realize that this was your gym, but they seem to think I’m someone else, and that someone else owes them money.”

He shoved his hands in his pocket, and felt for the small metal surprise there. Good. There was no way he’d lost it, but being able to twist it in his fingers made him slightly less nervous.

“I just got here, so I should probably talk to them about that before we head out. Otherwise, I’ll get like five calls tomorrow, all while I can’t answer, and it’ll keep bugging me.” Peter would have emailed, but the ‘contact us’ page on their website didn’t list an email for the manager, and the site’s built in contact submission form hadn’t gotten him anywhere. “That might take a while, so if you need to cool down or stretch out or finish up, you still have time.”’

Peter glanced at the desk in front, which was, conveniently enough, empty, and he sighed.

“You might have a lot of time, actually. Unless you know how to get these guys’ attention?”

“Really?” Kate said, raising an eyebrow, when he mentioned that her gym was after him, a crease forming between her eyebrows. “Huh. I guess they really screwed up the numbers system,” Though to be fair, the place where she worked out was a bit...well less financially secure? So she couldn’t really blame them for probably chasing money - even if they were barking up the wrong tree with this one.

Oh well, Kate was sure that they wouldn’t mind.

“Makes sense,” The brunette said with a shrug “And nah I was almost done anyway, so it doesn’t matter. Gotta leave some badassery for the rest,” Or something like that anyway. She glanced over at the desk, noting that it was empty as per usual. “Oh yeah, they’re probably in the back. They’re always in the back or out on the floor,” No idea why, it was just the way things were round here.

Leaning forward, Kate did the perfectly rational thing of yelling “HEY TED! YOU IN THERE?” Internally the brunette counted to five before hearing sudden rattling, like something had fallen over and then heavy footsteps. “What’s up tiny?” As all 6′4 of Ted emerged from the back, Kate only rolled her eyes “You’re wrong number calling my boyfriend, can you not?”

Can you not, yep nailed it.

Sure, I don’t mind heading the hetero love lives, but I’m not trying to let my unbeatable beauty get in the way of the rest of the spectrum. I got to take a step back sometimes and just let people live.

You have a dog named Lucky? How wonderfully unique of you. Wait, now are we talking about the dog or the nerd boyfriend? Because cute I can only believe about one of them.

Well you have a point there.

I know I’m so clever and smart. Oh the dog is always cuter but Lucky is the most idiotic, adorable lab to ever exist so. The dog beats the boyfriend.
