When: Present Day - Evening Where: Genosha - Supplies Storehouse With: Steve @starspangled-warrior​

She’d hit locations in Gotham and New York with complete success. Next came an armour warehouse in Genosha. From her research she supposed it had potential to be one of the more difficult areas to hit; the people there were prepared to battle this Darkseid (honestly she cared little about him she always had the mirrorverse to flee to if he appeared). Right now all she cared about was revenge.

Seven years worth of it. Her light reflecting technology was supposed to help isolate and focus solar power to limit use of fossil fuels. Not for use in a damn war like tactical gear. Joseph had twisted her dreams into unrecognisable reflections and they needed to be destroyed or she could never move on. And Eva refused to let a dead man take any more of her life away from her. 

Like most buildings, the warehouse was accessible to her through a window. She stepped through, appearing as a swarm of glass that swiftly reassembled to her form just as a gunshot missed her by inches. “Hey!” she yelled, using her lightspeed to dodge the next volley, stumbling as she stopped and using her photon canon to down the guard. More swiftly followed but now she was ready and zipped through the building, knocking them all unconscious with her photo blasts.

By the time she walked back to the main storage area where the armour was, another figure had arrived; one she recognised. “Before you try and attack me I was only defending myself. I’m here to collect what’s rightfully mine.” Her voice was calm as she raised her canon but didn’t fire a shot.

Foggy lent back in the chair and heard something in his back crack that likely wasn’t supposed to... Well that was probably fine. He’d been pulling longer and longer days lately since he seemed to be the only damn lawyer in the city who gave a damn about any Mutant cases; more and more of them were piling up and he just didn’t have the heart to turn any of them down... Even when an increasingly large number couldn’t pay him outside of gratitude or the promise of favours. 

He picked up his shoulder bag and with a heavy air flicked the light of his tiny office off before locking up and heading out for the night. His apartment was a ways away but the walk would do him good a little fresh air (or as fresh as the city could give anyway). He was cutting through an ally on the way back, trying to decide between actually cooking something fresh or using up a microwave curry he had squirrelled away when a figure darted out of the shadowed, socked him hard in the gut and shoved him against the wall.

“Ooookay-” he bit out, struggling to breath a little at the moment, “I’m guessing this is about one of my cases so by all means threaten away but I’mma just warn you that I’m buddies with several scary people so offing me really wouldn’t be smart.” he said, voice getting progressively louder as he got his breath back in the hopes someone, anyone would hear; judging by the knife currently at his throat Foggy doubted his ‘threads’ were working all that well...

Josh had heard he was back, Steve Rogers... The man he’d killed. He only recalled flashes of it, screaming, bubbling skin... That alone was enough to make him heave. But despite others telling him he’d killed an alien impersonating the Captain... He still felt this hollow feeling, like what he’d done was unforgivable. It had been pure instinct, on not even wholly his own considering he’d been essentially in a fugue state at the time and-

He shook his head, the excuses doing nothing to put him at ease. Instead the black and gold mutant hesitantly stuck his head around a corner and stifled a shark intake of breath when he found the man he was looking for.

“E-excuse me,” his voice so quiet it was hardly more than a whisper, “Could I umm... please talk with you f-for a moment?”

@cxptsrogers

Three quick knocks sounded on a door before Foggy opened it without thinking twice, Bucky always seemed to know it was him arriving so he’d just gotten into the habit of coming in if the door was open; he didn’t think twice. “Hey Bucky!” Foggy called, closing the door behind him with a foot so he could hold both his large food backs.

“I know we said we’d meet later but I got out of my meeting early and stopped off at that bakery, the one with the amaaaaaazing eclairs so I got like half a dozen... and then another half dozen cause why not. I figured we could stuff our faces and then see about finishing off that whiskey from your birthday cause I-”

He stopped mid-rambling sentence when he looked up and entered the living room of the apartment to see Captain Steve Rogers looking back at him; Foggy’s eyes widened and he froze in place, for several seconds, “Uhhh... Hi.” Came out in a high-pitched tone after a moment.

Try to Un-Burn The Bridge || Foggy & Steve

@nomadsrcgers

Okay, he had Bucky’s address and already felt awful cause he was prying into business that had nothing to do with him but he wanted to help! Tony was clearly unhappy and maybe if he got these guys talking again they’d all feel a bit better? One thing was for sure, communication was needed! It was how he’d forced Matt to try and strengthen their relationship. 

So, he’d decided he’d turn up with a gift to try and make up for nuisance he as being; it looked like a gift basket but instead of food or bath stuff he’d filled it with DVD’s that people who’ve missed a few decades should watch to be up to date with modern culture. From Star Wars, to classic Westerns, a few comedy’s and more than a few sit-coms he enjoyed, namely friends and Will and Grace. It had cost way more than he’d planned but he hoped the guys would like it... that and he was still nervous to properly meet and talk to Captain America.

He knocked on the door and when Steve answered Foggy stuck his head out to the side so he could be seen past the basket and smiled nervously, “Hello there Sir. I’m sorry to bother you Captain but Bucky told me where you guys lived so I wanted to bring a present over.” he hefted the basket, “A sorta very late welcome gift.” he chuckled a little nervously.

When: Post-Libertas Event Where: Genosha - Teddy’s Lab With: Steve @starspangled-warrior​

Teddy had finally fallen asleep. He’d been working six days straight, barely eating to try and make sense of the data he’d manage to hack out of the Apokolips compound; it was encrypted, in an alien language and completely unorganised so needless to say it was slow going even with Kilowog’s technology and Teddy felt like more of a failure every day.

“Whazzat!?” He jolted awake when the door to his lab closed, a little drool down his chin, a piece of paper stuck to the side of his head and his curly hair resembling a rats nest; he’d only been asleep two hours. “Sorry, s’ry.” he yawned and lent back, several vertebrae cracking with the movement. “M’working, was just resting my eyes.” His bleary, blood-shot eyes. Looking over he saw it was none other then the, always immaculate looking, Captain Rogers and immediately felt a million times worse, “Sorry,” he repeated, yanking the paper off his hand and frantically looking around for another chair or something. 

“I’m still working on getting the data ready, I know it should be done by now but I think I’m finally making some progress.” he said quickly.

When: Present Day Where: Star City - Homeless Shelter With: Steve @fightbattlesthatmatter​

“And, open wide for me now, big big mouth, like this: Ahhhhhhh.” Alph opened his mouth wide, making the noise while the little girl sitting in her mother’s lap giggled then copied him. He shone a small torch into her mouth, looked for a few moments and smiled. “Well, who’s been a good girl and taken all her medicine? Very well done Alison.” he winked at the girl and looked up at her mother, “The swelling’s gone down by a lot. I think she’ll be just fine but finish going through the antibiotics to help her along.” 

The woman thanked him and Alph nodded, getting to his feet and stretching. It felt like things were finally going back to normal in the city (or as close to normal as the city got) but there were still those who didn’t have much that needed his help. So it wasn’t uncommon to see him stopping by the homeless shelter to check in on someone. 

He yawned, he really was getting too old for such long days, and turned towards the doorway when he heard a few whisperings. Sometimes that meant police or someone else there to cause trouble. However, this turned out to the opposite. Alph wasn’t up to speed on heroes but it was difficult not to recognise Captain America; they’d all learned about him in school. The little girl he’d been treating squealed in delight and ran towards him, Alph followed along and spoke lightly, “Careful Alison, you shouldn’t scream while your throat’s getting better, alright?” the little girl nodded, still smiling and Alph turned to speak to the man himself, “Though I imagine a gentleman like yourself probably encounters kids screaming in delight quite often?”

Sad Times ||

With: Steve @fightbattlesthatmatter​ Where: Rogers/Barnes Apartment When: Present Day

Foggy felt like crap and was pretty sure he looked that way too. His encounter with Joker had proven two things he hadn’t known before... Well, one he hadn’t known and one he definitely did. He’d always known he was crap in a fight, but he didn’t know he had it in him to fight quite so much. Given how dangerous this city was and his position in it, Foggy figured it was time he actually learned how to throw a few punches.

So Bucky had been his first port of call, the guy was one hell of a fighter and could probably be cajoled into teaching him punchy-kicky stuff, Peter would teach him how to shoot, once he wore him down enough to do it. But when he knocked on the door he saw the state of Steve and that idea flew out of his head. “Hey is Bucky her- holy crap! You look as bad as me, are you alright?”
