dreamtchaos replied to your post: my fav trope is the avengers frivolously spending...

when Tony sees a thousand dollar charge for In-N-Out on his card, but they’re all in NY. “we had it delivered.” “what.”

tony:  it literally would’ve cost less to take the jet to get some and come back

‘ there are so many ways this could go wrong. ’

jessica jones starters.

they’ve run through every scenario  --  every way this could go wrong.  they’ve talked it out.  that is as much as training as running through the plans.  steve wants his team to have all their resources at hand,  including every possible outcome having already been thought through.  ❝ — we planned for that, ❞  he tells her as steve smacks the top of his shield,  a motion for her to start.

there isn’t a fighting style  which steve hasn’t mastered.  his gym routine typically consists of gymnastics,  weight - lifting,  or high - intensity boxing.  but the barbells sit abandoned in the corner as steve sits cross - legged on his mat.   ❝ — i don’t know about this,  ❞   he tells wanda.  he’s done meditation  ---  that isn’t what puts him off of yoga.  he’s just not sure he’s prepared to test out his flexibility, or lack thereof, in front of wanda. 

@dreamtchaos !  starter call.

it’s ok not to be ok.

therapy / talking about trauma / post - trauma starters.

she knows wanda means it because wanda rarely says anything she doesn’t mean.  but it doesn’t make much of a difference to carol.  not when she’s coming apart at the seams. it sounds like the kind of advice she’d give and she’d mean it, too,  when she’d say it.  but it isn’t the kind of advice she has an easy time accepting.  she’s supposed to be captain marvel, earth’s mightiest hero.  not just carol danvers,  feeling her crummiest.  

she sighs as she nods her head,    ❝ — i used to dream of days like today. ❞   she remembers wanting to be taken seriously,  wanting to be a leader.  carol had wanted to step out from under the shadow of the avengers and define herself as a hero.  not just as ms. marvel or binary or whatever she was that week but as the world’s greatest superhero. and now,  that’s what she is,  according to the latest polls, at least.  but she hadn’t prepared for the mounting,  astronomical pressure to always be perfect. 

carol lets out a breath as she looks to wanda for her guidance.  she’ll never stop being shocked by wanda’s neverending maturity.  she offers her a soft,  slight grin,    ❝ — i’ll be fine once i’m able to punch it out of my system.  ❞

in the months since he’s last seen her,  steve has traveled as far as to california and into mexico.  he’s seen every odd roadside attraction from giant plaster dinosaurs to a cadillac graveyard --- and hundreds of identical gas stations in between.  he’s listened to the same top 40 songs thousands of times and has had a cup of the world’s greatest coffee in 20 different states.  

but he hasn’t called her.

as he stands in the hallway,  he thinks  ---  he should have called her.  steve doesn’t know if she will have moved on from this place in the time he spent away.  he’s not even sure if she’s going to recognize him when his knuckles meet the face of the door in two, soft knocks.   |   @dreamtchaos !
