Another for the MCU boat?

[notapilot]

You have no idea what you think you are signing up for. And yes, the wings are awesome but that is no excuse.

No, you can't be the first to have thought of this regardless of what you've seen.

[debts]

It's a nice look.

[notapilot]

Still needs some tweaking but I'm pretty happy with it.

[debts]

It could be worse.

[notapilot]

This is true. I can always improve the design, assuming I get a chance after.

[debts]

[ No, Sam, it really could be worse. Like— ]

It could be purple.

[ Ha ha. Bird jokes. ]

[notapilot]

[ He gives her a hard look, which he also knows will be ignored. ]

Clint had best not touch my rig.

[ Caw, caw. ]

[debts]

You know what Barton's like.

[notapilot]

Which is why he better not touch my gear. Paint can clog parts.

[debts]

Bat him on the nose with a newspaper. That might work.

[notapilot]

[ With a laugh. ]

I'll keep that in mind. Fury teach you that trick or did you figure it out on your own?

[debts]

It came with his training manual.

[notapilot]

I have got to find my copy then. I think it's balancing a coffee table somewhere.

[battleshipping]

Chicken wings?

[notapilot]

You did not just call my flying rig, 'chicken wings'.

[battleshipping]

You mentioned wings. I'm hungry.

[notapilot]

Fair enough, but you've got to be careful. You can injure a man's pride that way.

[battleshipping]

[Birds don't have pride, do they?]

So what wings are we talking about here?

[notapilot]

[ Caw, caw. ]

I've built myself a set. Started as a sort of jet pack but I couldn't figure out how to steer it. Then I started watching falcons and thought to add wings.

[ Yeah, he might be showing off a bit. ]

[battleshipping]

Holy balls, that's kickass.

[chickfury]

They tend to ignore the warning signs. Mostly.

[notapilot]

[ As he pulls himself up to attention. ]

That's what I've heard, sir. And the fact is he seems to be having fun running with it, so I think it's nearly a done deal.

I just hope he doesn't commit to details that get refuted when the movie comes out.

[chickfury]

Plans change Agent. New information comes in, you adjust. I think he'll be fine.

[ She's just waving her hand at the others stance. It's nice but it's not needed at the moment.]

I'm sure he has a take on your relationship with Rogers.

[notapilot]

[ He relaxes and gives a nod of respect. ]

Adaptation is all part of the game. He's pretty familiar the Ultimate universes canon but is hazy on the 616. Seems like it's enough but he's hoping I like to tinker with technology as much as my comic counterpart.

[ltcol]

The wings are pretty nice. [ yeah, he'll admit it. not as cool as his ride though, of course, but there's no fault in trying. ]

[notapilot]

They do the job quite well. Not fast like your ride but damned maneuverable.

[ Of course not everyone can make their own ride. ]

[ltcol]

And easy to clip.

[ yeah, we all can't be tony stark. but look — if everyone was tony stark, every city, town, and village would look like the aftermath of a jackass stunt or a marx brothers' movie. ]

[notapilot]

Every rig hasn't its disadvantages. It's working in spite of them that separates the recruits from the veterans.

'Course I don't think mine could ever look as pimp as your red, white and blues.

[ltcol]

Pimp? I didn't know the term was making a comeback.

[ old geezers like him can't keep up with you youngins and your cool, hip lingo anymore. ]

[busdriver]

[ ... tch, self-reliant flyboys.

They almost never take the time to register their flight paths.

She's a little wary of the tone he took, correcting Rogers.]

You got a problem with pilots?

[notapilot]

[ If they register their flight paths, then the enemy knows where to shot. ]

No a one. They give great rides when there's need.

[ Once a paratrooper, always a paratrooper.]

[busdriver]

[She barely remembers what it's like to fly under the radar, dodging fire. S.H.I.E.L.D. Globemaster makes a pretty big target. And it's hard to secure a comms line — so maybe not registering is fair, but Sam has to be ready to dodge aircraft, because she can't turn on a dime, even with the pivoting VTOL engines.]

Good.

[broke_harlem]

The wings are rather "awesome", I have to agree.

Though if my mun continues to scream into my ear about you, I'll have to keep my distance, for everyone's safety.
