---

Maybe diving out of a jet above trees was not the smartest thing to do, even with a parachute. As DB Cooper would probably agree.

Luckily, you had managed to miss being impaled by any of the trees.

Unluckily. Your chute did get caught in the branches, suspending you above the clearing, where the three men conversed after Steve had interrupted the two fighting men.

Cutting yourself down, you landed with a huff, jogging up to stand high upon one of the jagged rocks facing skyward.

"I hate the fact that I keep on missing out on all of the fights."

Steve huffed at you.

"Now, I don't know what you plan on doing here," he said diplomatically.

"I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes."

"Then prove it. Put that hammer down."

"Oh, I wouldn't ask him to do that, Stevie-boy," you spoke, joining the group now, "He might have some sort of PTSD with that."

"Uh, yeah. No," Tony agreed with you, "Bad call. He loves his hammer."

With a backward swing of said hammer, he struck your friend, sending him flying back through the clearing.

"Thor, c'mon! Stop fighting my friend."

"You want me to put the hammer down?!" Thor raged before leaping into the air to strike the other man.

You flung your arms up into the air out of exasperation, disbelieving of the situation you had found yourself in.

"Holy shit!" you yelled, dropping to the nature-strewn dirt ground as to avoid the blindingly bright light that occurred from Thor hitting Mjnior against Steve's shield.

A heavy groan breath escaped through your chest as you steadily rose to your feet.

"Is everyone alright?!" you called to the three, arms jutted out by your sides, towards where the men rose from the ground, themselves.

"I'm good," Tony told you. Gaining nought but a deep nod from Steve, the three of you turned to gauge Thor after the mini-explosion.

"Are we done here?" Steve asked.

Thor peered around at the demolished trees, panting heavily.

Bringing your hand up to press at the comms in your ear, you spoke to Natasha in the jet, "We're in a clearing. Requesting pick-up for the five of us."

"You got the Asgardians to come along then."

"Yep. I totally did," you obviously lied to the woman, "It was all me. These guys did nothing." Receiving a knowing hum in return.

"Y/N! My friend!" Thor bellowed arms thrust to the sky as he strode his way over to you, a beaming smile upon your face.

"Oh, so you're done ignoring me?" you sassed the man.

"I apologise, my friend. I was distracted. I should have paid more attention."

"You also fought my best friend... and Rogers," you added, folding your arms across your chest.

"I am also sorry for that."

Your mouth, once down-turned in a scolding frown, twitched into a playful smile, showing that there were no hard feelings towards the beefy blonde God.

"Uh, not to disturb this very sweet moment," Tony butted in, slightly "jealous" of seeing his best friend act this way with someone else, "But where's Evanescence's number one fan?"

"Oh..." Thor trailed off, peering up into the mountain he had left his brother.

"Yeah, you might wanna grab him. Nat should be here with the jet any minute now."

"'Nat', huh?" Tony questioned playfully, "She know you call here that?"

"What she doesn't know won't hurt her."

And what she does know will hurt you.

You really needed that cup of coffee you had left so long ago. Considering everything that was today had left you blinking heavily and feeling exhausted. Thankful that you finally had a new mug of the strong liquid warming your hands as you sat at the table, in the chair beside Natasha, awaiting Fury's arrival with -most- of the gathered members of his 'Avengers', he had dreamed up teaming together.

Live CCTV footage of Loki playing on the screen in the glass of the table.

"-Not built, I think, for me."

"Build for something a lot stronger than you," Fury clarified.

"Oh, I've heard." The long-haired man turned to peer deep into the camera that relayed all of this. "A mindless beast. Makes play he's still a man."

Natasha looked up, focusing upon the jittering man standing behind one of the many cushioned chairs.

"How desperate are you that you call on such lost creatures to defend you?"

"'How desperate am I?'" Fury repeated the man's words, striding up to the glass cell, "You threaten my world with war. You steal a force you can't hope to control. You talk about peace, and you kill 'cause it's fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did."

"Ooh," Loki breathed in reaction, whispering, "It burns you to have come so close. To have the Tesseract, to have power, unlimited power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share. And then to be reminded what real power is."

Turning, Fury made to bid the man farewell, "Well, let me know if "real power" wants a magazine or something."

The red-head was still intently focused upon the screen, even after the Director had exited the room, practically having a starring contest with Loki, even through the technology.

That was until she -along with the gathered men- were pulled from the camera stream by a loud slurping noise.

Removing the half-empty mug of coffee from your lips, you sucked the remaining droplet of the drink from them. Eyes moving to connect with each and every person gathered around the table, watching you, most with judgement in their eyes.

"What?" you asked, gaining nothing but those blank stares, in return. Gesturing the cup around, you retorted, "I'm allowed to have a drink. Suck my dick."

"They get grumpy when they're tired," Natasha stated for those who didn't know.

"Yeah, I already gathered that."

"Bite me, Rogers."

"Well," Bruce coughed awkwardly, wanting to break the tension, trying so with a joke, "That Loki fellow really grows on you, doesn't he?"

"Loki's gonna drag this out," Steve stated, "So... Thor. What's his play?"

"I'm guessing eventual murder."

From the head of the table, turned away from the group, the man spoke his reply, "He has an army called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard, nor any world known." He turned to face the table now. "He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the Earth, in return, I suspect, for the Tesseract."

"What the hell do they want with the Tesseract?"

Thor shrugged at your question. "It's unknown."

"An army," Steve stressed, "From outer space."

"This will be a new experience." You nodded. "What is my life?"

"So, he's building another portal," Bruce stated, removing his glasses, "That's what he needs Eric Selvig for."

"Selvig?" Thor asked. This information was news to him.

You hummed around another mouthful of coffee, gesturing the S.H.I.E.L.D. logoed mug towards him.

Swallowing heavily, you said, "I probably should have told you about that, sorry. But, consider it payback for ignoring me."

"He's an astrophysicist," Bruce explained unneededly.

"He's a friend," Thor countered.

"Loki has him under some kind of spell," Natasha spoke for the first time since you arrived at the Helicarrier. Looking awkward as she added, "Along with one of ours."

Nodding as you finished off the last of your coffee. Wagging your finger towards Natasha while you looked at Thor.

"Clint," you clarified, "You remember? The guy with the bow and arrows four years ago."

Thor's eyes lit up with recognition, nodding slowly himself as Steve spoke up once again.

"I want to know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here."

"It was really easy," you agreed.

"And yet you wanted me to stop talking," he shot back to you.

"Because he could possibly hear you, not because you were wrong."

"I don't think we should be focusing on Loki," Bruce stated, gesturing with his closed glasses, "That guy's brain is a bag full of cats. You could smell crazy on him."

Thor jumped in to defend his brother, "Have care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asguard. And he is my brother."

"He killed eighty people in two days," Natasha stated.

"He's adopted."

You snorted, bowing your head, "I just thought he was going through an emo phase or some shit."

"I think it's about the mechanics. Iridium- What do they need the iridium for?"

"It's a stabilizing agent," Tony informed, entering the room with Coulson by his side, turning to the Agent, "I'm just saying, pick a weekend. I'll fly you to Portland. Keep love alive."

"Now Tony knows?!" you asked Coulson, aghast, your hand following the direction of the billionaire, "That's not fair. When do I get to know about the cellist?"

"You don't know about her?" Natasha inquired, trying to hide the smug, playful smirk -only barely- as she peered at you.

"You know-? Of course, you know. This is not fair."

"Anyway, enough of Y/N's complaining," Tony moved on, "Loki needs iridium so the portal won't collapse on itself like it did at S.H.I.E.L.D.. No hard feelings, point break." He waved to Thor. "You've got a mean swing." He finished with a couple backhanded taps to the tall man's bicep. "Also, it means the portal can open as wide and stay open as long as Loki wants."

Tony strode right into the centre of Fury's consoles, at the head of the bridge. Waving in multiple directions of the working agents at the gathered computers.

"Raise the mizzenmast. Jib the topsails." Gaining looks of irritation in return, he pointed at a specific agent. "That man is playing 'Galaga'." Steve looked over in curiosity, probably thinking that it was some sort of breach of security. "He thought we wouldn't notice, but we did."

Your eyes squinted at the man you called your best friend.

He was usually eccentric, but this was different. He was playing up his usual sassy self. You grew suspicious of his intentions but still trusted him entirely.

"How does Fury even see these?" Tony asked after covering his left eye with his palm.

"He turns," Hill stated, arms crossed over her chest.

"Sounds exhausting." He reached over, tapping at the see-through screens. Messing with the software there. "The rest of the raw materials, Agent Barton can get his hands on pretty easily. The only major component he still needs is a power source of high-energy density." Your brows ticked up when you spotted the sly movement of his hand, predictably placing some sort of a bug upon the metal under Fury's collection of screens, going unnoticed by all of the highly trained agents around -including the red-head by your side- all but you, it seems. "Something to kick-start The Cube."

"When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?"

"Last night."

"What were those words?" you inquired, over to the Deputy Director.

"The packet, Selvig's notes, the extraction theory papers,

" Tony continued, "Am I the only one who did the reading?"

"Does Loki need any particular kind of power source?" Steve pressed, cutting off the man's criticism.

Banner decided to answer for him.

"He would have to head The Cube to a hundred and twenty million Kelvin just to break through The Coulomb Barrier."

"Unless Selvig has figured out how to stabilize the quantum tunnelling effect."

"Well, if he could do that, he could achieve heavy ion fusion at any reactor on the planet."

"Finally, someone who speaks English," tony complimented, with a gestured arm to the man as he walked closer.

"Is that what just happened?"

"That's not English." You pointed with a shaking head at the two, feeling dirty at agreeing with Steve.

"It's good to meet you, Dr Banner." They shook hands. "You work on antielectron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage-monster."

"Now that was English."

Bruce pulled a frustrated face at that. "Thanks," he replied, not meaning it in the least bit.

"Dr Banner is only here to track The Cube," Fury notified as he strode into the room, stopping Tony from his assumptions of the Hulk being used, "I was hoping you might join him."

"I would start with that stick of his. It may be magical, but it works an awful lot like a HYDRA weapon."

"I don't know about that," Fury replied to the Captain, "But it is powered by The Cube. And I would like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys."

"Monkeys?" Thor questioned, "I do not understand."

"I do." Steve pointed out excitedly. "I understood that reference."

"We'll watch 'The Wizard of Oz' after all this, Thor."

"Wizard?" he asked, intrigued.

"Don't get your hopes up too high for that, bud," you joked.

Wanting to get to work, Tony turned to Banner.

"Shall we play, doctor?"

"This way, sir."

Striding over to Phil, you inquired, "Do you have something throwable that can go a good length, that won't cause serious damage to people or property?"

Confused, the agent reached into his pocket and procured a relatively sized ball of blue tack.

Thanking him, you spun on your heel, flinging the ball through the air. Colliding against the back of a blonde man's head. A game of 'Galactica' reaching a new high score upon the screen in front of him, failing instantly, as he rubbed the offending area, peering over his shoulder at you.

"Get back to work!"

"C'mon." Natasha grabbed your arm, dragging you through the bridge. "Let's get you some more coffee. We have a long night ahead of us."

"I wish you meant that in a different way, but I know that's not true."

Milk, mushroom, tea? 💕

🥛 Milk: What is a food you find comforting when you are sad? 

casserole, strawberry cake, chicken, camp stew

🍄 Mushroom: What is a quote you find comfort in?

Oh gosh. There’s two things, and one of them really isn’t a quote but instead some lyrics.

First one is: “Don’t go where I can’t follow.” Don’t ask my why I find comfort in that. For some reason I think of it every time something happens and it just....makes me feel better? Maybe it’s because it’s from a fav movie and character, or something deeper and maybe even something flawed, I don’t know. But I always think of it.

Second one is:

“If you find it’s me you’re missing

If you’re hoping I’ll return

To your thoughts I’ll soon be listening

In the road I’ll stop and turn

Then the wind will set me racing

As my journey nears its end

And the path I’ll be retracing

When I’m homeward bound again”

I listened to this song a lot after my dad died. That part specifically is something I think about when something bad happens. Or if I’m sad or have had a dream involving my dad or my grandmother, that part immediately pops into my head. It’s just so comforting in times of stress and sadness.

☕ Tea: How do you take your tea?

I’m a southern girl so I take my tea cold, sweet, and with lots of ice 😂 sweet tea is the only tea I drink. I tried green tea once and tea from TeaMi but it didn’t last long.

Your Dream Of A Winona Ryder-Themed Arcade Has At Least Been Partly Realized

Remember that Amanda Visell X Michelle Valigura collab, which retold Star Wars from Princess Leia’s various perspectives? Well they’re back with another pair of video game concepts that we all wished was real, which this time taps into two of Winona Ryder’s most iconic roles.

Alas, both Lydia's Trouble With The Living and Veronica's Heathers are sold out, despite the rather hefty price tag of $250 each. It’s also worth noting that only five of each was made; sorry for the late heads up, which I guess is one of the bigger downsides of this weekly format. Though they went on sale on a Friday, when most stuff online goes unnoticed anyway.

At any rate, what else have you missed last week? Well, let’s see…

Speaking of cross-overs, it’s the Chrono Cross X Miami Vice mash-up that you had no idea existed but will soon be glad it does…

This combination of Akira and Pac-Man also works very well for me (via atariforce)…

Sticking with Pac-Man, here’s a kinda crazy comic produced during the height of Pac-mania. Again, a huge fan of artwork depicting video games back in the day; the super abstract visuals gave artists plenty to work with (via tvgame)…

And here we have the late, great Lily Tomlin discussing her addiction to the game. The following is a joke btw… I think?

The arcades sure have changed over the years. Where it was the place to go for Pac-Man, now it’s the place to play… Rock'em Sock'em Robots? Gigantic ones to be precise (via aworldofgames)…

As noted last time, I’ve been playing Breath of the Wild, which was going great until I made a horrific discovery that is brilliantly articulated via the following comic (via humblegoat)…

Speaking of Zelda, here’s a wonderful piece from the always awesome Kyle Fewell…

As some of you may know already, I’m fairly embedded in the Garbage Pail Kids scene, which is how I came across Mark Pingitore’s rendition of Samus…

Bloomsbury UK asks: “Is this the greatest epigraph ever?” I’m inclined to say yes…

We’ve all seen videos of an American gamer checking out the Japanese flavor of familiar hardware and software, right? Well, how about the reverse? In the following we see someone that runs an game store in Japan, who also apparently has zero familiarity with the NES. Seems a bit odd; most Americans in any given game shop has at least some knowledge of the Famicom at this point (or so I’d like to believe, even if it’s because of the internet). Anyhow, it’s amusing to see the fellow be impressed by the American styling, which he prefers over the Japanese esthetics, as well him forgetting to press down on a NES cart for it to work…

Speaking of regional differences, does anyone know if the American version of Deroon Derodero, called Tecmo Stackers here in the States, has this green elephant that’s basically sniffing himself (via obscurevideogames)?

Which wacky box art do you prefer? This one for I am a Teacher: Teami no Kiso (via vgjunk)…

Or this one for Forget Me Not: Palette (also via vgjunk)…

Speaking of box art, remember the ones in the vein of that Criterion Collection that members of Select Button produced did many moons ago, which I somewhat recently came across and shared? Well, I also found a similar batch from NeoGAF…

And speaking of oldies but goodies, and back to Select Button; was recently reminded of the Averaging Gradius project, which recorded various participants (including my good pal Nullsleep) and their playthroughs of Gradius, to study how different people handle similar situations in a game…

And sticking with shmups, the place to go on Tumblr regarding the subject recently introduced me to the work of Daniel Vendrell Oduber. Am particularly fond of his pieces on M.U.S.H.A. and Gaiares…

So the latest meme that I’ve become fascinated with is one hailing from China that stars Fujiwara no Mokou from Touhou Project. Here’s some of my favorites…

Now might be a good time to highlight the Thexder resin kit that miki800 shared not too long ago. Pre-orders are being accepted right this second…

Whereas this TwinBee model/figure/toy is still in the prototype phase. But thus far, looking great!

Also courtesy of Video Game Densetsu is footage of a Japanese toy store that includes the launch of Dragon Quest 3…

Speaking of Dragon Quest…

I really miss Capcom’s Secret Files, which you can read more about here, cuz they were chock full of such goofy personality, something that’s a bit lacking from the company these days. Stuff like (via ouendanl)…

Just a friendly reminder why MUGEN is still the best…

And finally: yes, that’s Doom running on an ATM…

[demonstars]

i miss them so much

dream teamies come back to me
