“Okay. Hear me out with this one. You know how the X-Men have the fast ball special? What if we had a fast ball special. I’m not saying we throw you, but what if I throw Tommy. That makes it really fast, right?”

@legacycarried: "... Just to be clear you're not serious about taking legal action on this are you?"
"I’d have one hell of a case if I were. No...Eli...I don’t have plans to flatten Kate and Jen in court. One, contrary to popular belief and whatever the Bugle’s printing this week, I’m not gonna sell out anyone here for a dollar. Two, they’re both Avengers, anyway, and the principle of the thing is the proper channels to go through. Steve might feel like christening new Avengers teams willy nilly - he’s got that prerogative - but considering all teams carrying the name Avengers have to be properly vetted and set up eventually, I can’t just hand the keys over and tell them to both be home by nine.”
❝ — you'd think i'd be used the heat, ❞ illyana eyes the arizona desert over @legacycarried's shoulder with the barest hint of disdain. sure, she'd grown up in a pocket dimension resembling hell, that didn't mean she liked to sweat. ❝ if you'll kindly step through this portal, i'll explain everything when we're back in the big apple. ❞ // sc.
He meant to tell him sooner but really Kate insisted on waiting to make sure the world really wasn't ending beforehand. "So... Kate and I are getting married. I finally asked her and she said yes, we were hoping you'd be able to make it. Not sure when it'll be but probably next year when I graduate."
there’s a deserved moment of shock, unfamiliar words not processing as quickly as things he was used to hearing. eli mentioning an alien invasion, no problem. kate, and married, it’s a lot to take in. in the best way possible. ❝ --- of course! ❞ steve is on his feet and closing the distance between them in quick order. there’s no time for argument as firm arms envelope eli in a CONGRATULATORY hug. he grips the young avenger’s shoulder and gives it an excited shake. ❝ that’s great news! ❞ he doesn’t bother trying to conceal the sentimental sparkle of ADMIRATION in his eyes, thinking about how far they’d all come, and everything they’d been through. ❝ are you kidding? you couldn’t keep me away. ❞ he rocks back on his heels, grin never wavering. ❝ have you chosen a venue yet? -- you’ll only need room for a few hundred. ❞ now he’s just giving him a hard time. // @legacycarried & @daniwrit !!
@legacycarried sᴀɪᴅ: He shifts his weight from one foot to the other nervously as he clears his throat to get Barton's attention. "I, uh, I might have already asked her but I was hoping... To get your blessing? Kate might not care tradition and she doesn't like expressing her emotions but... She loves you a lot and you're one of the most important people to her. It would mean a lot to me that we're taking this step with your approval..."
HE SMILES AT THE YOUNGER. His heart could barely take it. The two of them were just so cute. He was wondering when they’d finally make it official. Kate had already showed him the ring, but this was the real surprise. Clint nodded as he signed. He poked Eli’s chest and then held fist over fist. He spelled out her name as not to cause any confusion on which Hawkeye they were talking about. Ending with lifting both hands excitedly in front of his chest. You make Kate happy.
❝ I am grateful to have such a good son in law, you have my blessing and anything else you all need. Keep making her happy. ❞

Now he's had a bit of a growth spurt, damn those super soldier hormones, since she last seen him but she's still tall enough to where her hair tickles his nose when he goes in for a hug. Behind her can see Gerry set up in front of the TV watching paw patrol, the sight making him smile as he pulls back to offer her a sheepish smile. "Sorry for not calling ahead but as you can see... your favorite brat is back."
It was good to see him. There aren’t enough constants in Jessica’s life, so seeing Eli again was... refreshing. Is that the word? Or is she being too cynical about relationships again? Probably both.
She let herself hug him back, giving him a good super human squeeze for a second, as if to say ‘You may be taller know, but I’m still stronger.’ When they parted she smiled at him, then pinched the top of his ear.
“Sorry’s not gonna cut it, Mister Patriot.” She said, sternly. She looked at his face and let go, listening to Gerry laugh. She bent down and picked him up, extending the toddler to the young man. “You can start by paying the Gerry tax.”

“Have the Avengers finally come to find out what the villainous White Queen is doing?” Emma said, not even looking at the boy. “What say you, Americ=kid? Unless you’re here to complain at me for trying to bring the twins to Utopia. I believe that ship has sailed.”
@legacycarried
“You wanted to see me, Eli?”
