Entirely someone else's fault

[rainingarrows]

It's called jumping the gun.

Guess I should be grateful you didn't go for one of those stupid "crane" usernames. I doubt I'll be in a crane for the entire Avengers movie, so that would have gotten old pretty quickly. Gotta admit though, I am a little disappointed we couldn't get the Lord of the Rings username reference, but were you really THAT surprised that "andmybow" was taken by a Legolas?

Also, explain to me again why we're going to this place you dropped from a few months ago?

Our muns sure like 'jumping the gun', huh?

ALL THE STEVES apparently

[exloserspromise]

I'm being told to pass along that "bowsbeforefoes" would have been hilarious. I don't get it, so I'm taking her word for it.

[rainingarrows]

Oh man that would have been a good one. Yeah, thanks for bringing that to my attention NOW, Captain.

[Smirk] Do you want me to explain it?

[rainingarrows]

Seems that way, least you have more than five minutes in a crane to back you up.

Oh well, only have to wait a little over three months, s'not so bad.

[exloserspromise]

I can only be in so many places at once!

Something tells me I'm really going to regret this, but go ahead.

[savesthedance]

'Least she's got something to go off of. Something's better than nothing, right?

[He gives a shrug.] Could be worse. [You know, like seventy years.]

[rainingarrows]

Five minutes is barely something, but I guess I can take what's given. Ladies like a man of mystery anyway. [Yeah, he may have complained up there but honestly he doesn't care]

[rainingarrows]

Basically it's a play on words of the common phrase "Bros before Hoes". [Pauses, remembering that Cap here is from WW2 era] This will probably take more of an explanation, but to put it in more polite terms it's guy friends before girlfriends.

[savesthedance]

Sounds like something Tony would say. [Or Howard, even, but he reminds himself he's talking to someone from his future. They'd know Tony way before they'd know Howard.]

[rainingarrows]

There isn't much mystery to Stark though. He's been in pretty much every magazine at least once.

[exloserspromise]

Okay, I might not know much about girlfriends but I'm pretty sure that sounds like directions for not having one.

[savesthedance]

True. But he'd still probably say it anyways. This is Tony we're talking about. [There was never any telling what would come out of that guy's mouth. And he didn't even follow most of what he said half the time.]

[caffeinatedgod]

Ah I am in the realm currently, the name your lady chose for you is fine, I am sure all shall work out for you Clinton. It is very pleasing to see you.

[rainingarrows]

Yeah, you have a point there. [He hasn't interacted much with Tony yet personally, mostly been reading Widow's reports about him from her time working for him/being undercover]

[rainingarrows]

It's just an expression or really more of a joke, I don't think most people take it that seriously.

[rainingarrows]

Hey Thor.

I hope so. I'm not to sure about this girl yet but she's been playing with a different version of me, so it shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

[exloserspromise]

Considering the number of kids who thought I actually punched Hitler, I'll have to ask for a citation on that.

[Captain Fun-killer in the house!]

[black_widow]

The username would have been clever. But you don't have an axe-weilding dwarf to follow you and play silly little killing games.

[rainingarrows]

A citation? [He's looking at you like you're nuts, how is he supposed to "cite" that]

[rainingarrows]

It can't be that hard to find one. I guess if not I can settle with a Norse god wielding a hammer. Or, you know, without your heels you ARE shorter than me.

[exloserspromise]

Your numbers are a little vague. [Steve may or may not have been introduced to Wikipedia already. He may or may not be messing with you right now.]

[rainingarrows]

I'm not writing a report or a mission briefing, I don't see why I need a citation.

[What? Steve messes with people? Clint's mind is blown]

[exloserspromise]

Didn't you know? It's a holdover from SSR, the random pop quiz to make sure you're still mentally fit to deal with everything the agency deals with. Some people go years without one, some people get 'em monthly.

[Yeah, okay, he's definitely messing with you. Even Cap has a sense of humor!]

[black_widow]

I'm sure Thor wouldn't mind counting down every bad guy he's slaughtered. [She makes a face at the short comment.] Clearly I'm prettier than a dwarf.

[rainingarrows]

This wasn't a question about your attractiveness, Natasha. [smug] We all know there's no disputing that. This was about finding someone who follows me around and plays silly little killing games, as I think you put it.

[rainingarrows]

[Stares for a minute and then breaks into a grin]

Well, look at that, Captain America has a sense of humor after all.

[exloserspromise]

Just don't go spreading it around, you'll ruin half my fun.

[caffeinatedgod]

You shall be fine, I sure you will have fun in the realm of dreams once you've adjusted.

[rainingarrows]

It's the adjusting part I'm not looking forward to, too much.

[rainingarrows]

I doubt people would believe me, it's just SO shocking. [/sarcasm]

[caffeinatedgod]

At lest you missed 7 yearold me running around Som... But yes adjusting is hard.

[rainingarrows]

7 year old...I'm not sure if that would have been entertaining, fun, or just trouble.

Actually it was probably all three.

Sorry! LOL but actually I'm not

[caffeinated_godling]

I am not trouble I do not know what you mean... That place was not fun... I do not know why my older self likes it... just because that girl is there... she is not even a warrior and there was no place to play... It is stupid. [ He gasps a little and covers his mouth because he's not suppose to say that word. ]

OH LORD XD

[rainingarrows]

[Stares. Oh God he did not sign up for babysitting duty, what is this even.]

You're seven, of course you're trouble.

[Eyebrow raise at the covering his mouth thing, oh tiny Thor he can't help but be amused by you and your tininess]

Don't worry kid, girls get more appealing when you're older. It'll make sense then...more or less.

[Because let's face it, women are confusing so he can't really say THEY make sense]

[caffeinated_godling]

That is what father says but I do not see it, Sif is alright, but she fights and plays swords and adventures. [ he folds his arms over his chest and looks up at Clinton. ]

Are you a hunter?

[rainingarrows]

[Debates how to answer that, decides to just go the easy route since, hey this kid is freaking 7]

Something like that. I hunt bad guys.

[caffeinated_godling]

So you are a warrior!!! My father is a warrior and I shall be one too... he feeds his enemies to his hounds... or that is want one of the history books in the great library said... but mother took it away before I could read more.
