the word nervous hadn’t been in pietro’s vocabulary for years. maybe it would’ve been, in the future, but if he had the chance to start over, the perfect time seemed to be brewing (of course, a woman was involved.) if he hadn’t been an obvious flirt with darcy before, he was pretty assured that saving her from a couple of supervillains - and then kissing her as a result - was enough to cement ‘i really like you’, in her brain. maybe it was a little dramatic to walk up to stark tower, but he did anyway, and of course without a plan. ‘darcy?’
( @rewrittenstart ! ) ‘ right this way , ma’am - ’ she’s steering people away from the last spot the villains were seen , gentle smile upon her face as she looks over her shoulder to spot pietro . ‘ i think that’s the last of ‘em - unless you’re seeing something i’m missing . are you as hot and tired as i am ? because a smoothie sounds really good right now . ’
he wishes he could pretend to be as exhausted as the rest of them, but there’s a lot of benefits to super speed, he guesses helping is one of them. ‘smoothies do sound good, however, i think i may need to tie up some loose ends...’ a grin forms on his face, ‘unless... i get them.’
( @rewrittenstart ! ) ‘ – and then america goes KAPOW ! and we end up here , stuck with the rest of these losers . ’ she has to giggle , covering her mouth as she does so . ‘ but i really don’t mind . the 2010s is close enough to the 90s to come off as retro , right ? ’
‘it’s weird, isn’t it?’ she muses, putting the pink plait behind her back, ‘that what... let’s say, tony, thinks is retro, is probably like, eons behind us? then we come in, and think when he was forty, that was behind the times...’
( @likefclksongs for anyone ! ) ‘ you know , there’s no time like the now to dye your hair a new color . seriously , you time travel , might as well take advantage of it . ’ her hair is already pink !
“no.” jessica replies simply, “not that your hair isn’t great. it’s not for me.”
❛ a girl can dream, ❜ marie muses, eyes fluttering to the sky with a shake of her head. she thinks having the black rider around would do matthew well — an inspiring presence, to make him more dashing and romantic ! jealousy never hurts, either. ❛ but i guess you’ll do for now. just don’t disappoint me, ❜ she teases, a playful smile flickering onto her features.
was it possible for matthew to be jealous of himself? it must be, because he felt as if his whole face was turning green. any compliment from marie, however, could turn him right around. “i couldn’t disappoint.” he says with a smile, “i just saved some lives, and now we’re goin’ to some kinda comic fair... in the city of all places... i’d think i’m dazzlin’ you.”
( @likefclksongs for whoever ! ) ‘ move , you’ll get trampled - ’ blonde says , hands going on their shoulder to move out of the way . ‘ never been to a festival before ? ’
“i’m the talent.” alison says easily, “so technically, you’re the one that shouldn’t be booking toward the stage, especially toward a mutant.”
jess stops to readjust her sunglasses for a brief moment before continuing down the street . she’s about to make her way into one of the cafes before another figure is slamming right into her . “ jeeze –– ” the impact didn’t hurt but it sure as hell did take her by surprise . “ well you’re certainly not in the rush to leave , are you ? ” she sarcastically comments . “ not a fan of coffee ? ”
“no,” he says simply, even though he’s blatantly lying. something about the truth and strangers never seem to mix, especially with venom always trying to gain control, “actually, barely a fan of people, or crowds for that matter.”
Observing her surroundings is like second nature now to Karen. There was a time when she’d been unassuming, but she wasn’t that girl anymore. She wasn’t the victim. Meeting the eyes of the man she’d ran into, she smiled politely. “I’m a journalist. Always looking for a story. A new lead. This kind of stuff never gets boring.”
this was getting more interesting by the minute. eddie knows he doesn’t stay on the scene much anymore, but he’s still interested in finding the story... the one that would’ve taken his career into the clouds. “i used to be... so i know what you mean, just some of these people aren’t gonna appreciate ya.”
❛ are you nervous about performing tonight ? ❜ alex asks, nudging the blonde lightly with his elbow. ❛ it can’t be harder than saving the world, yeah ? ❜ he lets out a friendly chuckle, tone more jesting than serious. nerves weren’t exclusive to civilians, certainly. he wouldn’t blame her either way.
“oh, don’t worry, i still get nervous.” she says, shaking the nerves easily from her skin, “but you’re helping.” she means that quite seriously, and she hopes he sees it. “knowing someone is fully supporting me always sets me at ease.”
‘ just ruin him in a different way - there’s always a ceo that’s being a little bitch during each time period . wasn’t this the rise of facebook ? ’ she asks , cocking an eyebrow . ‘ lets get him and his privacy issues . ’
“he’s also ugly.” rose replies, “looks aren’t everything, but with a name like facebook, he’d be the guy with an anime avatar.”
anytime karolina by chance, never by choice, ran into pixie her blood ran cold. it was silly the girl could make her this angry, considering she never really did anything to her personally. but things were like they were, and karolina wasn't going to start liking her, not now. "oh, didn't think i would run into you here," or anywhere, but that was left unsaid. "okay, i should probably just continue on my way," (@likefclksongs )

karolina was someone megan was never going to figure out... and that was probably a good thing. she seemed uncomfortable with any basic sort of affection, compliments included, so it wasn’t like megan could be outwardly nice to her, even if they were both mutants. “if you have something against fae, you can just say it to my face,” she says easily, “though i didn’t expect you of all people to be prejudiced.”
“do,” megan says casually, because with doreen, she just can. since they’ve become roommates, they’ve become extremely close (oddities included.) “have you seen bert? he’s been missing for almost an hour, and he wasn’t with the other squirrels...”
“you know, i’m actually surprised this still works,” karolina said, her credit card (full of her parent’s money, but still hers) still in hand. “it would’ve been really embarrassing if it didn’t,” she chuckled slighlty, moving to pick up all the bags. “well, we have a huge amount of snacks now, what do we do next?”
“eh i’ve got one too,” alison says, sure that her card would probably decline after all of the items she deemed necessary to perform at the festival, but a bedazzled microphone was an absolute must. “we’ve got to get some new towels, and definitely a bigger tv... maybe even some new pillows...”
( @likefclksongs for whoever ! ) ‘ i can guarantee you : no one will ever miss a greedy ceo . not during a festival , not after one either . ’
“does anyone even like ceos?” rose questions, though she hopes this is going somwhere interesting, at least, “if we’re going to get someone, let it be jeff bezos... he’s not that rich right now... right?”
Karen’s eyes were glued to her surroundings. There were so many heroes and kids dressed as the heroes they loved the most. This was the perfect place to observe others and possibly get an exclusive interview or two. There were plenty of interesting people to pick from. She wasn’t watching where she was going when she ran head on into someone else. “I’m sorry! I wasn’t looking where I was going. Probably should have been focusing on walking, not observing.”
meeting her eyes easily, he nods simply, knowing he should leave it at that. but of course his curiously piqued. “what are you observing for? i mean, same supe shit every day, right?”
❛ ooh, doc ! do you think black rider will come to the festival ? ❜ marie strolls beside him in central park, picking at a bit of pink cotton candy fluff, texan accent threaded seamlessly with her honeyed voice. ❛ i know it’s a little far from leadville, but he’s such a gentleman. ❜
matt frequently had one hell of a time keeping work and play separate, especially with the object of his affection had always seemed to like play matthew more than work matthew. “i dunno marie, but it’s not entirely impossible,” he fibs, knowing it’s actually extremely possible, “i’m sure leadville happens to fall in new york pretty frequently.”

notable changes from 2012 to the timeline they were pulled from: the good news? she feels like she can start over. the bad news? the people she wants to start over with may not be so receptive to that idea.
last memory before ending up in nyc, 2012:
questionnaire:
How are you feeling? Physically and mentally.
that’s a loaded question. i’ll find out soon enough.
Where are you living? The same place you lived in 2012, or displaced to a random apartment? Explain to the best of your ability.
i’m in the middle of couch surfing, i guess. i’m really not down to staying with my dad, if he ever shows up... fingers crossed.
What do YOU think we should do about the situation at hand? Try to go back home? The original mission of stopping Thanos? Rewrite the entire story?
i’d just like to get back home. i don’t really care about thanos, as ignorant as that may sound, i have my own shit going on.
What will you DO about the situation at hand?
i don’t think it’s my situation to clear up.
Is there anything that you think needs to be done?
invent a time machine?
If need be, would you be willing to team up with the government and SHEILD to recoup and help the situation at hand?
no.
What are your worries?
that i won’t get back... that i’ll be stuck here, like re-living a nightmare.
What do you think are the pros about this situation?
