Just saw the film, decided to give her a test...

Stop while you're ahead. This will only end badly.

[trickstering]

It does seem to usually end up that way.

[nocaperequired]

It always ends that way.

[trickstering]

Especially if they decide to actually put you somewhere.

[nocaperequired]

I already know they wont get that far.

[trickstering]

Then what's the harm?

[nocaperequired]

Being forced to do something utterly ridiculous while they're still interested in me.

[trickstering]

It would merely be temporary.

[doyoufondue]

You might get lucky?

[nocaperequired]

Wishful thinking, Captain. [Which isn't always a bad thing.]

[doyoufondue]

You never know. Some muns don't get around to doing anything.

[nocaperequired]

It's to be expected.

There's hype for about a week, then everything dies down. It's a common thing.

[doyoufondue]

Nothing sticks around for too long, huh?

[nocaperequired]

It's how the world works.

[doyoufondue]

I'm used to fads sticking around a little bit more than a week.

[nocaperequired]

Stark and yourself are special cases. [She assumes that's what Steve's referring to.]

[doyoufondue]

What makes us any different?

[well_assembled]

Welcome to the world, Maria.

[nocaperequired]

Glad to be a part of it, Natasha.

[agtcarter]

In my experience, mundanes rarely listen to what you say.

[nocaperequired]

That's something that becomes very clear very quick.

[agtcarter]

You seem to be the type to handle it though.

[nocaperequired]

I'd like to think so, yes.

Maria Hill.

[agtcarter]

Peggy Carter. [Polite smile.] Lovely to meet you, Maria.

[nocaperequired]

[Her eyebrows raise slightly.] You helped with the Super Soldier, right?

[agtcarter]

You mean Captain Rogers? Yes, I was the one who helped to choose him for the project in the first place.

[godoftableflips]

You expect more trouble to follow so soon?

[nocaperequired]

[Curtly,] Trouble always follows in this line of work.

[godoftableflips]

Perhaps that is because you seek it.

[ohmythor]

You know, I'm not convinced it's completely terrible. [ A beat. ] Just mostly. Probably.

[nocaperequired]

Sorry, but I'd have to say otherwise, Doctor Foster. [Of course she knows Jane from all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files on her :/]

[ohmythor]

... SHIELD. [ It's not often she gets referred to as Doctor Foster. ] I should have guessed. You have that look.

[nocaperequired]

I guess that's the nice way of putting it.

[ohmythor]

It's very ... business-like. Serious business-like. [ ... ] Why are you so sure it will end badly, anyway?

[nocaperequired]

Scenarios like this always do, Doctor.

First there's excitement, then boredom, which is eventually followed by being tossed aside.

[ohmythor]

[ ... a small wince. ]

I'm guessing that means your mun hasn't written any sort of application for you. As -- as weird as that still sounds to me.
