"You know," Sam began as she let her gaze wander observingly. "Coming to Atlantis had beena tough decision. Don't get me wrong, I was excited about the opportunity but ... it's hard to leave everything you've worked on for ten years behind." Leaving the people that became her family during those years. It had been ... a challenge. "I don't regret it. It's been an extraordinary experience so far." One that would come to an end eventually. This was fine as a temporary solution but this was never meant to be a long-term home for her.

"Thank you for welcoming me the way you did. I know it's not been easy." How do you even begin to take over after they lost someone so well respected as Dr. Weir. "Should you ever change your mind about taking the lead. I have no doubt that you would do a great job."

@ascendgravity ❤'d for a starter.

🚀 ───── she had been through utter hell at the hands of those seeking him out. she'd be damned if she sat this out now. she was in this, she didn't survive their torture to play damsel he left behind. she refused to have that happen. "i understand you do." she admitted openly to him. "but you don't have to do this alone, despite what you seem to have in that head of yours." she spoke. however, she could see his side of things. she could have died there if he hadn't come across her, and got her out, but she hadn't. she felt that should be looked at too. that she could survive. "let me help you." her words firm as her hand reached out to grasp at his forearm. "don't make me beg."

"Knowledge is power."

Something he was certain Romanoff knew all too well. It was definitely something he took advantage of. The more he knew the more powerful he became. Not in a dictator sort of way, of course, but in his abilities to make the world a place everyone could enjoy. More knowledge would also help him keep his Iron Man identity safe. Or at least safer than it already was. He knew it was only a matter of time before people put two and two together again, and when they did he would need to find a way of keeping it secret. But all that aside, Tony knew Romanoff would understand that statement more than others. As a spy she knew just how much her knowledge was worth. Even more so in the world she worked in. And he knew she was bound to have information on all of them. "I'm sure you know that one all too well."

"You know I was wondering what that cold breeze was," he teased in return, rubbing Sharon's arm. It was cold for him so he knew it was definitely cold for her. But that came with the territory when they were stuck on a stakeout in the middle of winter. He tried to tell Fury and Hill this was a horrible idea, but unfortunately the intel they needed could only be gotten tonight. Once they were done he was definitely going to have words with them. Until then…

At least he put out enough body heat to keep her warm. Even though he wasn't a fan of the cold, moments like these at least made them tolerable. Plus, it meant more time spent with Sharon. Work always managed to pull them apart and lately it felt like there was never any time to spend together. Now they could; even if it meant the two of them dealing with the brutal cold that swept through the city.

"Someone really needs to tell Fury that it's too damn cold for stakeouts," he pointed out, turning to kiss the side of Sharon's head. Being back in the apartment with hot food and drink was definitely better than sitting in the cold.

Marvel's The Order (2007) quotes -> Accepting // oh sh- @ascendgravity is telling Pepper to get it together -> Hey -- toughen up, buttercup. diana to pepper

SHE'S DONE THIS BEFORE. ⸺⸻ YET IT STILL GETS TO HER.

This was not the worst that she had handled, even before she wore the Rescue suit for the first time. THE ORDER would hang onto her even if she never speak about it, even if to this day she holds her breath for a moment when she's in LA.

Her helmet came off, thinking that would help her breathe and just try to get over the panic attack faster. SHE'S RESCUE. Pepper has seen worse, she wanted to do this; people had to get help but she's never been in the middle of the action. GETTING A TRUCK TOSSED AT HER BY GIANTS? It throws her off her game, and she needed to peel away a moment before she can get back to helping evacuating people get out of the way of danger.

THEN THERE'S WONDER WOMAN, who may as well be a goddess, standing there telling her to toughen up. It snaps her out of it, centering herself around focusing on the hum of her RT chest node.

The helmet comes back on, H.A.P.P.Y. complying with her command to activate thrusts her and give her an overview of where her help was needed. Her voice coming through the the suit now.

❝ we don’t need to talk, all right? ❞ | jim kirk

it's usually so much easier to hide,    to bury herself in her work,    to make sure those around her forget that there is a distinction between skilled geneticist   &&   tender heart.    (   people rarely pay attention to those they label as predictable   -  and oddly enough   -  they pay little attention to those they label as threats too.  )    only once @ascendgravity speaks does body finally seem to realise how sore throat is from lack of use,  past few hours spent in unintentionally complete silence as she got on with anything and everything that would make a semi-valid excuse to keep herself from rest of crew.

❝ I'm okay,  really. ❞   perhaps it'd be more convincing if words didn't seem to sting,  their distracted distance well suited for pointed ears  &&   sharp features...   yet universes apart from usual reserved warmth that usually envelops those around her.   still she keeps attention on part of lab she continues shifting through,  an inventory check far from needed yet.  ❝ I appreciate the check-in. ❞

@ascendgravity sent i haven't actually fought anyone. / from willa

she raised an eyebrow, looking over at her with interest. "tell me why i don't actually believe that. is that just today's stats?" she didn't mean to sound as skeptical as she did. carly just had a pretty good guess that someone with willa's reputation and callsign could back it up. "i've heard your callsign." not all callsigns were accurate, her's didn't say anything about her personality, but it was often a pretty good starting point for making guesses. "i'm not here to bitch at you or make trouble, just see how you're doing."
