Next-gen Marvel muse...he is unamused.

Sir?

Yes, I understand you think the name for my journal is clever, because of Thors misunderstanding of Dads last name. I understand that. And yes, you think it very funny that Dad would name me Steve. But it's not. Not really.

Look, I just want to make a name for myself in SHIELD. The Coulsons are damn well known for their ties to the Avengers. They're big shoes to fill. I don't even know if I wanted this. I'm not even that old for an Agent.

I just...*sigh* Whatever you wish, mun.

Exactly. So you stay in the comfy office and I'll do the hard part.

[grandson_of_coul]

Depends on what one considers hard, Agent Romanova.

[winter_widow]

The part where I can die if I screw up.

[grandson_of_coul]

The same applies to superheroes, too. Those tied to them tend to end very messily.

[winter_widow]

It's why there aren't those tied to them. Ever notice most of them don't stay with people or if they do it's people equally able to take care of themselves?

[grandson_of_coul]

True. But consider some of the more prodigious death rates among staff. Like SHIELD agents and liaisons.

It is harrowing in its own way. Just less likely death by gunshot and more death by skull crush at the hands of a space tyrant.

[winter_widow]

And consider that most of those were because they ran into to do a job that wasn't theirs.

So here's the deal, you avoid the space tyrants, we'll handle the grunt work.

[grandson_of_coul]

Sounds like a plan.

*doesn't say anything, but wants to.*

And it doesn't mean I don't expect you back. Maybe with an extra cut or two, but still in one piece. You are an agent for a reason.

[winter_widow]

It's a good plan.

Survival, it's a family tradition.

*There is a smile*

Good. I know it may make me a little bit compromised, but I do like it when Agents come home in one piece.

[winter_widow]

I always do, otherwise I wouldn't being coming home at all.

[grandson_of_coul]

Well...you usually would come back. Just accompanying a box. That you're in.
