re: subjecting him to all the memes

[dated]

With all due respect, ma'am...






I think I'd rather be frozen again.

Think of all the people who would be disappointed though, Captain.

[therightpartner]

Are the memes really that bad, Captain?

[dated]

[ oh. he's been warned about you.

he doesn't back away but his eyes do flicker to a spot just above her shoulder. yes. good. ]

I think I've been the source of amusement enough times, ma'am.

[kinglaufey]

What a convenience.

[ --that voice. ]

...Peggy..?

[withaboxofscraps]

Trouble in paradise?

[pheromoans]

[ Oh, God, he's fucking precious ... if he was anyone else, she'd have turned frosty by now, but he called her ma'am.

SHE'S ONLY WEARING LEAVES, CAPPY. LEAVES. Try not to faint. ]

Darling, my eyes are up here.

[reminiscing]

Can't remember the last time anyone had any fun while being frozen.

[ okay, wait, get a hold of yourself. you knew such a thing was possibly, walking into this weird timeless dimension place, snap out of it. ]

Have you taken a look lately? They're not exactly a walk in the park.

[ or a dance. ]

[slyest]

That sounds like defeat. It suits you.

[tasteslikecoconut]

Good god another one. I'm starting to wonder how much 'Captain' America needs these days.

[ well don't you look friendly. steve defaults to his humor, if not a guarded one. ]

...it has its perks. I mean, talk about a power nap.

[withaboxofscraps]

They'll be able to form their own Boy Scout troop soon enough.

I'm not sure you can consider it a "paradise."

[dated]

I consider it the lesser of two evils, ma'am. I wouldn't consider those memes to be any "fun" either.

[tasteslikecoconut]

Or all fifty stars to complete the Spangled Banner.

[A beat.]

I wonder what that will make us. 'Iron Legion'? Huh. That has a nice ring to it.

[dated]

As I remember it, the only one that's been "defeated" here was you. How's that going for you, by the way? Your brother didn't look too pleased, the last time I saw him.

[dated]

[ steve's expression only flattens. ]

For every one of you, they'll need one of me to make sure you don't burn the place down.

[reminiscing]

I don't know about that, hon.

They're better than being cooped up all day if you ask me.

[withaboxofscraps]

You don't appreciate my sophisticated company? Oh captain my captain, you wound me.

html? What html

[kinglaufey]

[ Tiny mortals. Look at this welp. He almost snorts but being the stoic one, Laufey just tips his head with a small and amused grin. ]

How's the culture shock? [ Please entertain him. ]

[therightpartner]

[She can't quite fight back a smile when he says her name. She's used to that reaction, both here and in the other places her mundane has sent her.]

I haven't been on them lately, but I do enjoy them. They've given me a chance to see you - or versions of you - again.

[Peggy considers the memes latest offerings and wonders what exactly has happened to Steve in those places.] What sort of memes have you been visiting?

[kneecaptain]

Nah. Freezing's overrated.

[dated]

[ 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 ]

[tasteslikecoconut]

[Surprise surprise.]

I call party foul - unfair statement, considering I, you know, saved Manhattan.
