[ steve looks immediately flustered, his eyes snapping up to her face and wide, as if horrified. ]
I wasn't--! [ he pauses, pressing his lips together. no, no, that's how she works, he has to remind himself. he tries to quell the rising blush on his cheeks but... superhero or not.
he is still a man who'd never gone on a real date before.
how does he women?
he attempts to go about this another way, and thinks of her as a villain instead. ]
In any case, [ back to business! ] I'm pretty sure there's more than enough of me to go around.
[ wow that's not what he meant at all CAPTAIN, THINK ABOUT YOUR WORDS..! /weeps ]
[ Arching a brow, she saunters over, palm on a hip as she looks him up and down. Raising a hand to show him either side - see? harmless! - Ivy slowly lowers it to trace the star on his chest, green eyes holding his gaze.
It's kind of hilarious how he's so on edge at the mere sight of her. ]
[ WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, MA'AM, YOU'RE KIND OF ALMOST NAKED.
ALSO A SUPERVILLAIN. SO.
anyway, by now he's starting to suspect there's been a misunderstanding here. ]
Uh... That's - not really necessary. I can vouch for it. In fact - several me's can vouch for it. [ pause, eyes flickering between her face and her hand. ] That's the point!
[ Oh, don't mind her easing into your personal space, Cappy. If you feel warm and tingly, those would be the pheromones beginning to douse your body. ]
I don't know why you haven't come to Gotham, I could show you all the sights ...
[ ANOTHER AVENGER SHOULD PROBABLY CUT IN HERE ... SAVE HIS ASS??? ]
[ he releases her hand as if he'd been burned, though the only thing burning right now are his cheeks and the tips of his ears. he resists the urge to tug at his collar, feeling the air around them getting so hot to the point it's nearly stifling. ]
Believe me, ma'am, I've... heard all about you. [ he puts a hand over his mouth and nose and takes a few steps back, as if that could help him at all. ]
Do you know who I am underneath? [ Those leaves shouldn't ripple around her curves like that, but they do. ] The real Poison Ivy, Captain? The woman?
Even if you won't come near me, allow a girl to send you a token of her esteem.
[ Blowing him a kiss, she mixes the toxins from her lips with an airborne pheromone from her lungs. He really shouldn't stay in her direct vicinity, anything that thickly laced with shenanigans from her bloodstream is going to hit him like a bottle of Disaronno to the nervous system. ]
[ despite being the woobie romantic that he is, steve never once really put much weight on those old adages like "love at first sight" or being "weak in the knees." not to the point of being literal, anyway, but when pamela blew him that kiss he could have sworn on all the stars in the galaxy that he actually felt it.
he staggers back, but he's not sure if it's because of the kiss or the fact he's just that jumpy now, but a hand over his mouth and nose does absolutely nothing this time around. he can already feel it spread throughout his body, warming him, every nerve and cell till he's left flushed and panting.
his mind swims, dizzy like he'd just taken a few rounds with bucky at the local bar, and for a wild moment all he can think about is her and how much he needs her.
but then, just like that, the heat begins to dispel. and he's brought back to that moment, in that ruined parlor, trying to drink himself sick with a bottle of whiskey that was meant to be shared. his immune system kicking in, though not as quickly as he might have liked, but before long he's able to see clearly once more, think sensibly.
with a ragged breath, he lifts his head, meeting her eyes squarely. a corner of his lips twitches. ]
...nice trick. Maybe times have changed, but I thought a real woman doesn't need to stoop that low?
[ He's hers for a minute or so, absolutely yearning to return ... but just like most superheroes, he's not exactly a normal man and manages to claw his way back to the surface of his own rational mind. Shame. They're always far less fun when they make her brew something individually overwhelming and right now she doesn't have time.
A shrug is given; no point pretending. ]
I could tear you limb from limb with the help of my children, be grateful you're acting as little more than a test subject right now.
[ steve slowly straightens, reaching up to run the back of his hand over his brow. sweat-slicked and out of breath, and shakier than he looks.
nazis, guns, alien invasion - those things he can deal with. but this? that brief moment where it felt like he'd lost himself, lost complete control? yeah, he definitely isn't looking forward to another round of whatever that was. ]
No offense, ma'am, but I've already been a test subject once. I'm not looking to give it a second shot.
[ Smiling slowly, she gives him a wink. Since her abilities are on the back-burner for the moment, she smooths her hands over her hips to rest there, the leaves over her breasts curling and thinning out.
WHY ARE YOU PERVING, CAPPY? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??? YOU DISGRACE. ]
