I am so easily enabled... sob.

[anticoulson]

Sir? There a reason you brought me here?

Listen, I don't have time for this, so if we could just get this over with? I don't want to spend too much time talking with civilians.

[makedo]

Eric.

[anticoulson]

Brad.

You got dragged here, too?

[makedo]

Way ahead of you. I've been here for months.

[anticoulson]

Sounds like a rough deal. There at least some action?

[makedo]

Some. Nothing like combat. I'm a sitting duck, getting fucking feelings thrown at me.

[anticoulson]

[A laugh right there.]

Trying to thaw out the Iceman with feelings?

Could be worse. My mundane's got some pretty sick things floating around his head.

[makedo]

Something like that. It's disgraceful. [ A beat. ] If it involves Captain America, I don't want to know.

[anticoulson]

You've seen the username. It's a fixation.

[And another beat.]

There's other stuff. Probably don't want to know that, either.

[makedo]

Spare me the details.

[anticoulson]

Gladly. I just wish I could forget.

[makedo]

I guess offing yourself's not an option.

[anticoulson]

[A snort]

It's not that bad. Yet. I'd sooner cap my mun in the back of the head.

[makedo]

Good luck with that.

[anticoulson]

Thanks.

I know it won't happen, though. Just gotta hope he doesn't go through with some of the stuff he has in his head.

[makedo]

I'd say he can't be worse than Captain America, but I don't want to jinx you.

[anticoulson]

Unless you want me to shoot you. Encouraging this sort of behaviour isn't helping.

[makedo]

You could try.

[anticoulson]

Might be a mercy killing. Save you from these feelings yours is throwing at you.

[makedo]

I think I can handle her.

[anticoulson]

Well, if you need backup, call me. We look after our own.

[makedo]

It won't come to that.

[anticoulson]

Maybe not, but you still might need backup.

[makedo]

You'll be the first to know, Eric.

[anticoulson]

Good to hear. Now I've just got to avoid the real Captain America.

[makedo]

Now there's a thought.

[anticoulson]

Yeah. Can you imagine me meeting the real one?

[makedo]

Can't be worse than McGraw.

[anticoulson]

True. At least Rogers seems sane, from what I've seen.

[makedo]

Not difficult, in comparison.

[anticoulson]

True. Those haji suicide bombers have more sanity.

[makedo]

Can't imagine what Rogers would make of McGraw.

[anticoulson]

He'd send McGraw skittering off like a scared animal, probably.

[makedo]

Now that I'd like to see.

[anticoulson]

Captain America yelling at McGraw, or him running with his tail between his legs?

'cause the second one, I can manage.

[makedo]

Both, but I'll settle for the latter.
