on revisions and things

[deadandred]

So you finally finished, huh? Took ya long enough. Yeah, yeah, I know, not much compared to seventy years, but? I'd like to see Steve sooner, rather than later.

Now it looks like all we gotta do is wait. Never really was much good at that, and I can see you aren't either, but it's what we're stuck with. So just be patient.

[strictmachine]

Patient, huh? I'll believe it when I see it.

[deadandred]

Hey, I said I wasn't much good at it.

[strictmachine]

That's why I'm timing it, see? I'm giving you twelve hours before you're ready to crack skulls together.

[deadandred]

That long? You got a lotta faith in me.

[strictmachine]

Well, a few people have to, right?

[deadandred]

[A lopsided grin.] Guess so, though it's a bit silly of 'em.

[runbeforeyouwalk]

Personally, I could have waited a little longer. Another seventy years, say...

[deadandred]

Yeah, really looking forward to seein' you too, sweetheart.

[runbeforeyouwalk]

Oh, I know. Everyone does. [ SARCASM? WHAT SARCASM? ]

[deadandred]

So do you let 'em down quick or let them dangle? 'Cause I'm not all that impressed, yet.

[runbeforeyouwalk]

Really? That's funny, because I seem to remember an argument with your sister about whether you were allowed to flirt with me. You must've been at least a little impressed...

[liveanotherday]

I suppose I should encourage this one to stop balking and send me after you already. At this point, it's just ridiculous.

[deadandred]

If you don't, I will. Or I'll make sure this gal will.

[liveanotherday]

It'll happen. I won't say I don't believe Rogers and Stark can't handle the situation... eventually, but I would like to see it done with a minimum of collateral damage. They don't have the greatest track record on that front. [ Especially Stark. Any version of him. Her. Whatever. :| ]

[deadandred]

[A beat, while he considers this.] Yeah, they're not exactly subtle. I'll keep an eye on 'em if I can, if I get there.

[Though whether he means keep an eye on them as potential enemies or potential allies is -- up for debate, right now.]

[liveanotherday]

[ She quirks an eyebrow while she wonders exactly that. ] Should I pretend to be reassured by that?

[thespidergirl]

[ pokes his arm ] Coooool, is this real?

[deadandred]

[--Yeah, he's gotten used to people doing that, so it barely gets a pause.]

It is, yeah.

[thespidergirl]

That's awesome. Where'd you get it? Does it have any special properties? Who are you, anyway?

[deadandred]

Russia, and yeah, it does.

I'm -- Bucky Barnes. Who're you, kid?

[thespidergirl]

Woooow, I didn't know Russia was a good place to get robotic replacement limbs.

I'm Araña. Or, well, Spider-Girl, sort of. Mostly because people just kept calling me that. [ bleeeeeeh ]

[withoutaworld]

[ Facepalm. ] Anya, you can't just ask people things like that!

[thespidergirl]

Why not? He's got a metal arm, how can people not ask?

[withoutaworld]

Because it's, you know, personal? And maybe kind of traumatic?

[thespidergirl]

...Oh, yeah. [ sheepish ] Hey, you gotta cut me some slack, I'm the daughter of an investigative journalist!
