Wrong Place, Wrong Time || Buffy & Faith
@decdbutstillprxtty
So few guests at this event even know who Faith is that, mostly, she has the luxury of meandering around Avengers Tower without being bothered. A lot of new people, a lot of big egos on display. Thinly disguised animosity between super people who've been rivals and enemies, even lovers, over the years. Comes out in backhanded comments or a few too many drinks.
She kind of gets it. The outskirts of the core group in Sunnydale were scary and lonely, and not something Faith is likely to forget, but here? These fucking actual adults. The folks not important enough to be on Nick Fury's super team are just bitter and it's sad in a way Faith's brain can't even flip and turn into a joke.
It's in the thick of it all, trying to ease away from the sad lives of the wallflowers Peter and Steve invited to pad out a guest list that would've been fairly small without them, that Faith runs into the one person in the fucking world he didn't expect to see. She half-rolls her eyes as she approaches, because this? Reeks of Steve fucking Rogers, "Wow. Thing about Cap is he doesn't get nuance, sometimes. He even tell you what this little shindig was for?"
