what did you do to him, natasha?!

me , dragging @shespy down the rabbit hole of marvel’s avengers out of our mutual love for nat.

[overclocksaaa]

@shespy​: she’s looking up at him through her lashes, all smiles. “i heard from a little hawk that you don’t find me challenging anymore, tony.”

Oh, he is so royally screwed.

“I think said little hawk needs to learn to keep her big, fat trap shut,” he mutters under his breath, because this is not ideal!  This is not ideal in any shape or fashion.  He knows what she’s doing, he’s not stupid, he’s read The Spider and the Fly.  And he is under no illusion as to what titular character he represents; she’s all smiles and batted eyelashes now, but the moment - the very millisecond - he lets his guard down she’s gonna...Gonna...Hell, he doesn’t know.  Whammy him again.  Stick him with some weird Soviet poison.  Slap a neural inhibitor to the back of his neck.  Make him give her a pedicure. 

This is not their first tango with this.

But to his credit, he keeps his composure (mostly), all feigned concerned innocence and wide eyes, pressing a hand over his heart in a good approximation of melodramatic affront.  “I thought you knew me better than that, Nat.  I would never.  You know I’m terrified of you.”

And being perfectly fair, he’s only said he isn’t scared of Nat.  Not that she’s not challenging because she’s as deceptively two handfuls in her own way as much as both Hawkeyes are.  He knows.  He’s usually the one that gets suckered into her bullshit with the promise of free food.

He holds up his hands - hell, he’ll give a Boy Scout salute if it makes it more believable - in placation.  “Have you maybe considered Clint is maybe rubbing off a little too much on Kate?  Because I worry about it.”

@hitsharder / (Clint on the phone) *sniffles* Please come pick me up, I'm at the hospital and they keep asking for my insurance feat:  @shespy​ / @omuses

So the real question here is:  How many kids does Tony actually have.  All along he’s been thinking it’s just the one he and Steve have, you know, adopted.  And yet here he is, knowing full well he has access to Clint’s insurance info (and tax info, and-) like a parent keeping up with an errant child’s social security card.

It’s ridiculous.  He’s the long-suffering parent of a guy two years younger than he is, and it’s happened without any conscious decision or consultation on his part whatsoever.  He kind of resents that, to be honest.  He absolutely does it out of familial love and obligation, but he’s gonna complain about it the whole time.

He doesn’t ask where Clint’s insurance card is.  He doesn’t, because he knows exactly where it is, which is in Tony’s own wallet (he really needs to pass that on to Nat because she’s the one hitching her wagon to that lovable yet infuriating disaster and it’s not his problem anymore) tucked behind three credit cards and a punch card for a coffee shop two blocks away.  He’s already digging it out before Clint gets through his plea for Tony to come get it, and frowns at it a moment.  Why.  Why does he even have this, Clint is a grown ass man who can handle keeping up with his own insurance needs.

“Do you need to stay at the hospital?”  He asks hypocritically, like the hypocrite he is, because he’s literally lost count of all the times he’s checked himself out against medical advice.  “What hospital are you at.  Why are you in the hospital to begin with.  Did you at least call Nat first?”

All important information he needs to know, right, in order to assess whether he’s going to spring Clint or just drop off his card.  He catches Steve’s eye as he passes by, mouths Clint with an exaggerated eye roll and a wave of the insurance card.  “I literally have your card right here.”

@shespy sent: anyways : hc + stealth suit. :) headcanon meme / accepting

yeah but have you considered he has more than one?  huh?  what about that, then.  but we’re not talking about model 7 here and we all know it, so...model 43.

model 43 is both exceptional innovation on tony’s part and a huge helping of hubris, because quite frankly, he kind of sucks at stealthy shit overall.  i mean, it makes sense, right, he’s a guy in a clunky, clangy suit of armor that gives him almost a half a foot in height and doubles his body weight, he’s not going to be the next black widow or winter soldier or black cat or whatever.  but despite his premature assumptions he’d put nat out of a job with it, it really is kind of neat on its own.

for the most part, it’s where tony in the armor but you can’t tell he’s in the armor really takes off, with the lightbender tech.  sure, he can hide in plain sight completely in a way that doesn’t fry his nervous system (looking at you, experimental chameleon mode on the silver centurion), so that you never know he’s there as long as, you know, he doesn’t trip over his own feet or do something dumb like drop the cloaking before making sure he won’t be outed, but it’s really where the whole camouflage so extensive all you see unless you try to touch him is tony in jeans and a tshirt really gets started.  it has clever little engineering quirks like wider spaced joints so the panels don’t rub together and make noise.  its weaponry is all non-lethal, and as silent as possible, the downside of which is the fact that he’s only got about 10% of the punch he usually does with the repulsors, because this baby’s built for sneaky sneak, not punchy punch.

which is a damn shame because, again, tony is terrible at sneaky sneak.  he holds it together for about five to ten minutes and then the explosions start, no exceptions.

but it, like any suit in his armory, is the answer to two questions:  one, can he do it, whatever it happens to be, in this case construct a stealth suit that packs enough non-lethal punch he can put someone or several someones down temporarily without getting caught (he’s like four for five on that or something).  and two, can he make it look good in the process.  it’s a good example of how tony learns from trial and error, because it take the concept of the chameleon mode of the silver centurion and strips it of the slowly killing him in the background parts to make it more efficient and reasonable to use.  and it’s a hop, skip, and a jump later to both the model 51′s stealth mode, and then the model 70′s.  it’s a high point in that progression of how tony’s stealth tech has not only stopped, you know, killing him, but has improved and advanced since the idea first tickled his brain with the model 7 during the armor wars.

so you know, he can admit it’s not putting nat out of work any time soon, but it is still good enough to pull out of the closet when he needs something a little more inconspicuous to wear, and still mostly holds its own in the present day, so the concept is good!  tony is just...so bad at stealth.

@shespy​ / you ship what?? go. romantic & platonic shipping meme / accepting

tony / maccready the crossover ship that started as an accident caused by a mod that ended up being more indepth and overall good shit than otherwise intended.  see, i was testing a romance mod for fallout 4 - i don’t remember which one, don’t ask me, it’s probably deleted from the nexus now - and used mac n cheesy as my guinea pig and then a friend of mine ( @overcharges​ ) actually rps mac and we really started talking and before i knew it we had the literal trailer park (they all live up the hill from fiddler’s green estates in ft. hagen) of the wasteland happening with a communal family thing going on with different groups of people pairing off and tony and mac just kind of.  blossomed from there.  they worked really well together?  like mac is so much younger than i’m usually here for for that kind of thing but his maturity level (because you know the whole little lamplight mayor / lucy and duncan thing) is enough to bridge the gap i’d otherwise balk at, but.  they work.  they’re dumb - god, are they dumb - but they work.  their love language is mac giving tony rocks (don’t ask) and tony melodramatically getting annoyed by it and keeping the rocks in a box.
