Welcome back to the headspace. (spoilers in comments)

[inaleotard]

You know this is a step forward away from all the cat-ladies, right?

And did you really have to choose that for a username? Really?

You know what, it's----it's fine, I'll, uh. I'll work with it, don't worry about it, let's just---don't get too in over your head here, okay? One 'superhero' in your head is enough, you don't really....well, need me.

The username could be worse...

[inaleotard]

...

Yeah, I...you definitely win there.

I don't suppose an 'I'm sorry' would mean anything, would it?

[caffeinatedgod]

Do not feel bad about your name young one. It is truthful to what you wear.

ahhhh avengers everywhere ♥

[inaleotard]

[ You...are one huge guy. And he thought Steve up there was big, no, you just proved him wrong. ]

Actually, it....it's a unitard.

But yeah, I suppose so, still, you'd think she would've chosen something a little more...flattering?

[like_a_gerbil]

[Steve grins, used to that reaction to the username.]

It's appreciated, but it's not necessary. I don't really mind it. It reminds me of who I'm supposed to be. I am a lab gerbil. Just a taller one now.

[inaleotard]

Well yeah, taller, and...bigger. Big plus right there.

[ He makes a vaaague gesture. He looks kind of scrawny compared to you, Cap. ]

Mine just reminds me that I should probably send it in to the dry cleaners every once in a while.

[ He looks a little distracted, though it's probably just the fact that he's talking to Captain America. ]

Well he's so adorable <3 They all just want to take care of him.

[caffeinatedgod]

There are not many people who can pull off such a piece of clothing, you should feel honored. [ He chuckles a little. But then again he's wearing a freaking cape. ]

it makes me giggle and want to hug them all. everyone's so nice. :,]

[inaleotard]

[ He isn't sure that's a compliment or if it's....not. ]

Well, I suppose that's...uh, one way to look at it.

It's a lot lighter than Levi's.

[ No Peter, don't ask if he's really the God of Thunder, it's just not appropriate at the moment. ]

KILLJOY AHOY.

[500men]

Parker.

[like_a_gerbil]

[And a few decades ago, Steve would have looked...well, scrawny compared to everyone.]

Smaller's got its advantages too. 'M more grateful to be healthy than being bigger. [It had helped him get his dream, but he knew the real gift had nothing to do with his change in height or the muscle he'd gained.]

Might be a good idea but where would you find a place that has a confidentiality agreement?

OH SNAP

[inaleotard]

[ Oh god oh god oh god this is very, very awkward. ]

Mr. Stacy.

[ This is beyond awkward, how do you even react---he's not sure if he's surprised, or happy, or grateful or no----too many feelings. Feelings overload. ]

Uh, hi.

[ His throat's a little dry, ignore that. ]

[inaleotard]

You could always tell them it's...for birthday parties.

[ He nods, still a little shy. ]

Yeah, smaller's---more moving around, faster, makes it a lot easier to maneuver.

): <

[500men]

[He looks almost casual. Almost. But he has a lot of things on his mind and there are so many of these kids.]

Making friends I see? [you keep interesting company kid.]

I love this fandom it's very much LET ME LOVE YOU!!!! But Spidey is adorable

[caffeinatedgod]

Ah yes jeans, your way of dress is very strange here. [ Thor chuckles a little. ] But I find it very comfortable, when I have to as Lady Pepper and Lady Jane say blind in.

[ He smiles a little and Thor decides he really wants to keep Peter and teach him the ways of The Avengers. ]

YESSSSS ♥

[inaleotard]

...I think it's--blend in. But you get the idea.

[ Okay he can't help it anymore--- ]

Are you really the god of thunder or is it just....a name?

nuuu dont hurt me

[inaleotard]

Yeah, uh...like minds. Kind of.

[ No that's ridiculous Peter. ]

Sort of. Not...really.

Completely agree with Thor Mun. He's adorable

[like_a_gerbil]

[That's a better idea than what Tony had suggested once...]

But that'd be a pretty rough birthday party. [Normal by Avengers or the Howling Commandos standards, but still...]

It does. It gives you advantages most people don't think of. [His earlier grin turns sheepish, a hint of his own shyness showing.] What you did to protect everyone... Thank you for not making the easy choices.

[caffeinatedgod]

Ah yes blend. [ Because obviously his lady is new to this typing machine ><. Thor chuckles a little and pushes a hand through his hair. ] Um, I am not a God, I am just not human. [ he pauses a moment. ]

There was a time when I was young and would come to this realm and make play I was a god. Make the people here believe that, I was young, foolish and arrogant, it was a mistake to play with people in such a way.

mission accomplished.

[inaleotard]

Well, I mean...maybe not for kids.

[ He nods, acknowledging what's been said, and can't really find the words to follow that up with. He runs a hand through his hair, not in frustration, maybe out of being slightly flustered by Cap's gratefulness. ]

Only doing the right thing. If you can do the right thing then you do it. It's...not a choice.

[inaleotard]

[ Nah, it was totally in character. ;D ]

So you are but...not really. You have the power but you---don't rule over normal...humans.

That makes sense.

It's just going to have to be a super family.

[caffeinatedgod]

I do not rule over abnormal humans either. [ he laughs patting Peter on the shoulder. ] I will one day when the time comes rule over Asgardian's but they are my people.

Can Steve keep him? Pleeeease?

[like_a_gerbil]

[He doesn't expect words, not really. It was something that he needed to say since he knows how hard it can be to keep fighting. That sometimes it's having someone believe in you that makes you not give up no matter how painful things might be.]

For some people it's not a choice, but for others... We were lucky you didn't see it as a choice.

I LIKE THIS IDEA.

[inaleotard]

[ Oh hi, nice to meet you too. Still...overwhelming, the freakin' Avenger Thor. Just...he cannot even. ]

Well no, I mean...there aren't very many of us abnormal ones anyways.

h-he might have to fight Thor and Tony and Bruce for him...;;;

[inaleotard]

[ And to have that kind of support, from an Avenger? Peter can't exactly...comprehend what he's feeling right now. ]

That....that means a lot, Mr. Rogers. Thanks---thank you.

...we?

D: but Gwen. D:

[500men]

[He's pretty damn torn on all of this.] Better once then the last couple maybe. [Keyword here: LIZARD but he's just-really bitter. sorry peter. It's his writer's fault.]
