#Peter being someone who used to be a kid hero knowing exactly what kid heroes need is my kryptonite

Okay well now Iâm thinking about Peter training Miles and the early days of that, and he brings him in when he can tell that the villain wonât traumatize him so Miles can practice, and just all of the citizens in the area are shouting encouragements at him and cheering when he catches the villain and shouting joke suggestions he can make about the villain of the week
Just. At all times Iâm thinking about Peter getting the chance to actually train Miles, and how that training for him to be a confident independent hero would differ from other heroes who train sidekicks
Supportively off to the side, letting the kid stretch his wings, but there in an instant if it turns out Miles needs help, and all of New York is the same, excited for their new hero and ready to support him
#New York as its own character and how they relate to Spidey is so important to me#I just want kids to be happy#happy and supported đ#Miles Morales#Peter Parker#Spiderman#spider man#spider-man#Peter being someone who used to be a kid hero knowing exactly what kid heroes need is my kryptonite#specific scenario I was imagining was Peter realizing heâs fighting a kinda weak villain and stopping everything#to go âIâm bringing in the kidâ#the civilians cheer#everyoneâs happy to see Miles get better#heâd probably pick up on everything really quickly so the training arc wouldnât be that long#but still

I NEED A PLATONIC YANDERE MIGUEL O'HARA STORY WHERE SHE IS FRIENDS WITH MILES AND GWEN AND SHE IS ALSO SPIDER-MAN AND WHEN HE MEETS HER, HE THINKS OF HER AS A DAUGHTER AND FEELS THE NEED TO PROTECT HER FROM HARM BUT THE OTHER SPIDERMEN (Gwen, Miles, and Peter) SENSE HE'S UP TO NO GOOD AND TRY TO STOP HIM (it's totally okay if you choose not to write this)
Warning
You sat at the diner across from Peter and Miles with Gwen beside you.
"So, this Miguel guy is pretty scary, huh?" You muttered while you poked at the vanilla ice cream in front of you.
"Yeah, but just let us talk to him okay? And Miles do not say a word because he will punch you in the head again." Gwen said making you chuckle softly.
"Miguel always makes me feel like I need to exercise more. Even just standing next to the guy I feel fat." He muttered as the rest of you laughed.
You heard the door to the diner open and a tall man walked in, it felt like the entire room went cold when he walked in.
He saw the familiar spider people and walked over, Miles squished in beside me so Miguel could sit next to Peter.
"A diner? Really?" He grumbled, unamused as he looked at you.
"Who are you?" He grumbled as you looked back at him.
"Um, I'm Y/N." You replied as he studied you.
Everyone began to talk while you continued to eat, Miguel wouldn't stop glancing at you the whole time.
Eventually Gwen and Miles went to go home, you stayed back with Peter because you came from the same universe so he always made sure you got home safe.
Peter and Miguel dragged on about stuff you didn't care about. Miguel was now sitting next to you so he could face Peter.
You were exhausted and slowly leant your head on Miguel's shoulder and closed your eyes.
After talking for even longer they realised you were asleep.
"What's her story?" Miguel asked, glancing down at your sleeping face.
"Bitten by a radioactive red-back, caused her to produce venom from her mouth and she accidentally killed her family." Peter replied as Miguel looked at him in shock.
"Who does she live with now?" Miguel asked looking back to Peter.
"She 19, she just lives on her own." Peter replied as Miguel thought for a little while.
"Anyway, I should be getting her back home." Peter said as they began to stand up.
"I can take her back, it's easier for me. You need to get back to your family." Miguel said as Peter looked at him and then you.
"Sure, but if anything happens to her Miles and Gwen will kill you." Peter replied before Miguel picked you up in his arms.
"Don't worry, she's in good hands." Miguel replied before Peter left.
Miguel looked down at your sleeping face and smiled softly.
You woke up when you felt a sudden rush of something, like a gust of wind.
Your senses were going wild before you opened your eyes to see Miguel above you.
"Where are we?" You muttered before he placed you down on your bed.
"We're at your apartment. It's a mess here." He muttered looking around as you glared at him.
"Rude... Being a hero doesn't exactly pay." You muttered climbing into your bed and under the covers.
"At least keep it a little tidy." He scolded as you looked up at him.
"Thank you for the ride, I'll see you later, Miguel." You tried as he chuckled a little.
"Goodnight, Y/N."
--
You woke up the next morning hearing someone in your kitchen.
You quickly leapt up ready for a fight before you saw it was Miguel.
"What the hell are you doing here?" You said in shock as he looked back at you.
"I'm making breakfast." He said casually as you continued to stare at him.
"Why are you saying it so casually! You're just in my apartment? I barely know you!" You scolded as he chuckled softly.
"All I found in your kitchen was old pop tarts. You think that's a good breakfast for a spider-girl like you?" He said as you watched him make banana pancakes.
They did look yummy.
"Spider-Woman, not girl." You corrected making him chuckle softly.
"You're still just a kid." He replied before you sat down and watched him cook.
"Well, since you already started cooking I won't stop you."
--
You had met up with Gwen and Miles again.
"He was just standing in your kitchen?" Miles muttered as you shrugged.
"Yeah... It was weird but the pancakes he made were really good." You replied as they looked at you with worry.
"Be careful with him, Y/N. When he loses his temper he can be a pretty scary guy..." Gwen said as you thought for a bit.
"I'll keep my guard up."

Go with the Flow
(Miguel O'Hara x Reader)
Synopsis: What happens when you're stuck in another dimension with someone calling you their mom and someone else calling you their wife? You certainly recognized him- but he wasn't your Miguel.
Warnings: None, honestly had no clue where this was going Tbh
Getting spit out of the portal in some random alleyway wasnât exactly ideal-but worse things have happened, such as the damage done to your dimensional travel watch.
For them being designed by scientists they werenât as durable as youâd hoped, the item currently glitching out hindering your ability to open a portal and or contact anyone.
Great.
With a disgruntled sigh your mask deactivated, the nanotech retreating away. The rest of your suit quickly shifted into civilian clothes, your fingers still trying feebaly to activate something.
At least you werenât glitching out. That was the only plus side you could see at the moment besides having been thrown into a vacant alleyway- you didnât even know what dimension youâd landed in.
Grumbling some more under your breath you turned on your heel, regardless of whether or not you were stranded there had to be something you could do- to either get back or get into contact with someone who could then possibly bring you back.
Stepping out of the alleyway your eyes took in the city; it was reminiscent of classic New York, no flying cars, futuristic outfits, people looked relatively normal- youâd say you ended up somewhere similar to Peters or Gwens dimension.
Continuing to wonder around youâd occasionally peer down at your watch, hope flickering like a flame whenever a phantom vibration happened only for that feeling to become snuffed out as nothing new flashed across the screen.
It was times like this where youâd regretted not asking to partner up- especially when there were a few whoâd often offer their assistance.
You could handle it, was always the answer you gave then.
So much for that.
Not only was there an anomaly running around in some other dimension but you were stuck here, for an undefined amount of time.
Lovely.
Finding yourself coming across a store that sold TVâs your eyes scanned across the lit screen, the news currently covering what was described as âa vigilante heroâ- or what you were more familiar with, âa spider variant.âÂ
Who it was? You dodnât know, nor did you recognize leading you to assume they werenât appart of the spider-society- little bit of a bummer there seeing as you couldnât just find them for help. Not like you knew where they were anyways.
The hairs on the back of your neck raised.
âMom!â Your head twisted to the side at the sound of a childs voice, heart skipping a beat for a second as a small form quickly bounded your way. The little girls arms quickly moving to wind around you all the while her face pressed into the stomach of your sweater. âWe thought you were working today?â
Her head tilted up, (E/C) hues staring wonderously up at you while unruly brown locks surrounded her tanned face. There was something about her that had your brain buzzing, something familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time.
Hovering your hands over the girls back you felt unsure of what to do; clearly there was a variant of yourself in this dimension that had a kid and now that kid is currently mistaking you for them.
âUh I was, but they let me off early.â Finally deciding to speak you let out an awkward laugh, one hand moving to pat the girls shoulder gently.
Her expression seemed to lighten up at your words, the little girl beginning to bounce in place nearly shaking you back and forth from the motion. âReally? Then that means you can come to the part with us!â
Us?
âElla, give your mom some space.âÂ
Your head tilted up at the new yet familiar voice, eyes following the tall frame of a familiar brunette. His frame dawned a simple pair of jeans and hoodie, eyes appearing more brown than the wine tinted ones you were usually familiar with; extended canines missing from the mans smile.
Your heart fluttered lightly, mind almost mistaking this man as the one you were close with- however that was anything but the truth.
He was Miguel but he wasnât the Miguel you knew.
The girl, or Ella as youâve come to learn her name pulled away. Lips still pulled into a gleeful smile as she instead moved to grasp your hand in her own. The action just as quick as the man nearing enough to throw an arm over your shoulder, lips pressing a quick peck to your cheek despite the clear way your shoulderâs tensed up.
Noting this he passed you a worries glance, hand squeezing your shoulder softly in an almost reassuring manner, gradually pulling you and Ella along the sidewalk. âEverything alright at work mi vida?â
Swallowing down the butterflies that quickly flittered about within your stomach you reminded yourself that this was your variants life, this was a different dimension and everyone here was a different variant.
Willing yourself to smile you glanced towards him, âJust the usual, coworkers and the system and stuff.â Beginning with that you added on quickly trying to figure out what the other âyouâ would answer with- or rather what was something generic enough that it could fly beneath anyones radar. âThe coffee machine was down so Iâm a bit tired.â
His head tilted at this, mouth opening. âBut you donât like coffee?â
Shit.
âOh well I mean my coworkers were upset about it so I had to deal with a lot of cranky people,â You forced a laugh, âYou know how some people can be without their caffeine.â
âDadâs cranky without coffee.â Piping in from where she stood beside you Ella let out a laugh, her mind presumably associating that thought with another. âRemember when you hid all the coffee when he forgot your birthday? That was so funny.â
âI didnât forget it,â His arm dropped from your shoulder and instead tenderly held your other hand. âI was just planning a surprise party.â
Ella didnât seem to believe it and just stuck out her tongue, the man doing the same.
It was strange really; this wasnât your dimension and despite how close you felt with your Miguel- this one wasnât yours, and Ella wasnât your child. However at the moment, you felt a little obligated to act along- for the sake of your own variant of course.
âAnd how did that surprise party go?â
Lighting up at the tone youâd used Ella giggled. âBad! Super bad!â
âIt wasnât!â He tried to defend himself quickly but at the insistence of his daughter and the tender smile that crept across your face he yielded quickly. Just simply shaking his head with a gentle laugh.
After a little more banter- some you tried to join in on- you all eventually arrived at the park, quickly finding yourself pushing Ella on one of the swings. The other Miguel watching from the side as he leaned against the structures support beams.
Sparing him a quick glance your eyes snapped away at the payful wink heâd given you- your Miguel would rather roll his eyes than wink if you so much as breathed in his direction. Albeit he was still kind but in a tough love kind of sense.
Ending up spending awhile at the park playing various little games, you began to dread the next one. Especially considering it was apparently something that the other âyouâ had made up and itâd be a major red flag if the current you didnât remember it.
However your saving grace came in the form of the other Miguelâs phone ringing, his lips downturning softly before curling back up. âLooks like work needs me.â His tone was apologetic, arms coming right away to give Ella a quick hug as she ran over. His attention moving onto you as you neared, the mans arms enveloping you much like he had with his daughter.
There was an unfamiliarity to the action, but you just patted the back of his sweater lightly hoping that thatâd suffice. âI should be back home in the morning. Okay mi vita?â
âYeah thatâs fine, do what you need to do.â A boxy smile had come to rest across your lips, cheeks heating up as he once again gave them a quick peck following it up with an adoring smile.
He must really love the âyouâ of this world.
âBe good for mom,â Patting Ellaâs head he ruffled her hair quickly, adding on once more before walking off. âStinker.â
Right away calling out playful insults in response the little girl shook her head, attention moving back to you while she began insisting that you push her on the swings a few more times before leaving.
Now, you would have been fine watching over Ella for an hour or so by yourself, but having to find âyourâ house? That was a much much different story- it was like a needle in a haystack and the only way you did end up finding the place was because you turned it into a game, having the small girl guide you the entire way there- as well as unlock the front door via a keypad.
âYouâre so funny mom.â Watching you open and close all the cabinets Ella let out a laugh, the bowl of macân cheese sitting before her was left untouched as you searched through the kitchen for where the cutlery was stored.Â
Finally finding where it was kept you gave yourself a mental high-five, handing over the girls desired utensil before leaning back against the counter.
Being a fake mom was hard.
Trying to take a moment to compose yourself your ears picked up the sound of the front door opening, heart rate picking up a little at the prospect of it being your other variant however when another figure stepped in did you pause.
âDadâs back!â Sliding off of the stood she sat on Ella right away bolted towards the man, her small arms wrapping around him quickly.
However much like you had earlier in the day, he didnât return it right away. Instead his gaze flickered up to you, (E/C) hues meeting with wine tinted hues.
Your heart fluttered.
âYeah Iâm back kiddo,â His eyes drifted back down to the girl then back up to you as if trying to signify an unspoken question.
Pushing away from the counter seeing that Ella had released the man you couldnât help but give him a hug of your own- but in relief and to keep up the act for her. âHow was work? Didnât seem like they needed you for that long?â
Picking up on the implication Miguel allowed his own arms to wrap around you, âIt was just for a bit, but I might have to head back soon.â
Nodding to signify your understanding you both parted from the intimate gesture; Ella right away making it apparent on what time it was with a loud yawn.
âLooks like somebodyâs tired.â
âNo Iâm-â Her defense was interrupted by another yawn, you right away taking this as your chance to bring her towards where you discovered her room was earlier. âWait, I want dad to tuck me in today.â
At the mention of that your head turned back towards where Miguel stood stiffly, his mouth opening to decline before seeing the way you stared.
Sucking in a breath he moved to take the small girls shoulder from you, the facade of a caring parent taking over as heâd disappeared into the hallway. âRight of course, lets get you to bed then.â
Now knowing that this was the Miguel you knew, you waited anxiously for his return to the livingroom. You almost instinctually coming to hug the man once again as he emerged from the hallway minutes later.
âItâs so good to see an actual familiar face- you wouldnât believe the day I had.â Muffling that out into the shirt of his civilian clothes you basked in his presence for a second, mind somehow blocking out the embarrassment until youâd pulled away. An apologetic yet flustered smile made itâs way onto your lips. âUh sorry about that.â
âDonât be,â Shaking his head while saying that he took in a breath. âIâm glad youre alright,â Holding out a hand he motioned towards the wrist containing your watch, the device being raised enough for him to view the damage. âI wasnât able to find you sooner because of the damage done, so I had to get Lyla to run your signature through the system.â
âWell, better late than never. I felt like I was playing house here.â Although you meant it as a joke, the domestic theme of the day made you a little melancholic- knowing that normality was something youâd never have the luxury of having. âWell, was playing house.â
âYou seemed into it though.âÂ
At the comment you gave him a look, the man unable to let out a mix between a chuckle and laugh. âAnyways. We should get going. Any longer here and we might cause a disturbance.â
âWait- we canât just leave her alone in the house? What kind of fake parents would we be?â
Upon mentioning the girl, Miguel let out a short huff. âWell, what do you have in mind then?â
âWe wait for the other me to come home, and then youâll get a âcall from work.â
Pondering over the suggestion he wanted to decline right away, the thought of impersonating someone again left a bad taste in his mouth-however the paternal instincts deep within told him to just listen.
Which is what you both did.
Your variant came home about an hour later, her expression bidding Miguel a tired greeting followed by a peck on the cheek before merely heading to bed.
A little easier than you thought it was going to be. But hey, now you two could leave that place.
You never knew how much you missed HQ until the smooth walls and floors welcomed you, the glowing yellow screens of Miguelâs workplace and the holographic form of Lyla were comforting- especially once the Ai began chatting aimlessly.
The conversation halting as Miguel spoke up from where he leaned over a desk, âI didnât know a dimension like that existed.â It was as though his brain took a step back from processing things then they were happening, the man thinking back to his late daughter and then the daughter heâd just met.
She had the perfect mix of the both of you- (E/C) hues and brown hair, your nose and his smile.
âI didnât know either until I landed there,â Musing that out you let out a sigh. âShe was cute right?â
Casting his gaze back at where you sat his lips tilted up softly, âShe was.â
âShe definitely got it from her mom.â
You were stunned at this, mouth falling open before closing. Eyes rolling faintly in response however without verbally saying anything he took that as a win.
Moving away from his desk he trailed towards where you sat, hand coming to brush some of your hair aside nuzzling his nose into the crown of your head- a gesture you were familiar with.
This was your Miguel after all.
Humming lowly he pecked for head, lips murmuring against it afterwards.
âWe should think about it.â
âWe should.â

The way Bendis wrote Miles during his run of Ultimate Spider-Man had very interesting ideas but not the best execution
Now I just want to make this clear, I like Miles' initial runs and his character, I'm not someone who goes "Oh, things only got better once Bendis left!" No, I do like a lot of things in his run.
But I do have a few problems that I want to talk about a little.
The premise of someone taking the mantle of one of the greatest heroes of their time and trying to live up to the expectations and pressure while also trying to get out of his shadow and learning to be his own thing is honestly a great idea and a very relatable thing for teens to connect with since so much of being a teenager is (thanks to evolution of social media) about anxiously comparing themselves to others and wondering if they're as good as they should/could be.
He's basically what Hal Jordan was to Abin Sur. He's the new guy that's constantly being compared to the old guy, except he's a kid, which leads to even more anxiety and insecurities.
I also like how, while Peter became Spider-Man due to a lack of action caused by disinterest and arrogance, Miles became Spider-Man due to this same insecurity and fear of not being good enough to do it.
This feels like a nice way of showing the change in struggles through the passing of time.
People back then felt that they knew everything, so they were more arrogant, and people today always feel like they don't know enough, like they're not good enough.
Teens back then felt they were invincible, and teens today feel like they're made of glass. It's a nice way of differentiating Peter from Miles.
The issue was that while the struggles was there, the overcoming of the struggles would often come a tad too easily.
Miles had a bit too easy of a time winning over most of his challenges, almost, ALMOST, in a "Gary Stu" kind of way.
You can even see that in the way Miles's venom blast was basically an "I win" button.
His victories would often feel like they came because the plot says so, not as much because he truly learned a valuable lesson or proved himself. He had great setups for solid character arcs, but often seemed to skip the climax of these arcs and goes straight into the victory.
Bendis just has this weird habit of dunking on his own characters and making their lives miserable and proceeding to say "They matured because they learned how to live with it after enduring a great pain, that's what being an adult is." Like, his characters don't really feel like they finish their arcs, they usually feel like they just learn to accept things suck sometimes, and then they move on.
Like, for example, when he assumes he killed his uncle by accident, we never really see him dealing much with the idea that he needs to learn to control his strength and impulse, he just finds out later on that he died due to a malfunction on his suit. This was a missed opportunity for him to mature a little, and his run has a ton of those, a ton of "Don't worry, Miles, you're doing great just as you are! đ"
Like... that's not what being a teen is. Being a teen is about messing up and learning why they messed up and how to be better.
Miles was a good boy with a lot of room for good lessons, but the lessons kinda came too fast and easy to him at times so they didn't always carried the weight they could, but you could still grasp the idea of the lesson.
He was a good character, but he definitely needed another hand to unlock his full untapped potential, and the Spiderverse movies did exactly that.
You can see in the way they actually let him be a mess in the movies. The kid makes mistakes, he broke the pendrive that would stop the collider, he was a scaredy cat, he sucked at talking with girls, he didn't had control of his powers, and his initial motivation was revenge, not wanting to help people.
The initial Miles runs were definitely not perfect, but you can still see that there were a lot of good ideas waiting to be used around him, the passing the torch, the anxiety and insecurity, the learning the ropes, and so on, they were all there, they just needed to be properly used.
A lot of people often say Spiderverse basically fixed or reinvented Miles, but I think that's unfair to Bendis, and I feel a more accurate term would be that they "saw the vision" of what he was trying to do and gave it a proper polishing.
They made him flawed, more human, and thus gave him room to actually grow and evolve, and watching characters growing and maturing is always one of the best parts in any narrative.
They took what was good about him and added some much needed elements to enhance and emphasize that good, bringing us the hero we have today.

Gimme Sugar (ao3) - geneticallydead steve/bucky E, 10k
Summary: The first time Steve sees Bucky Barnes, he knows he is so fucked.
He canât be older than 20.
Golden skin and grey eyes with sinfully long eyelashes, a chaotic nest of gelled curls on his head, wearing an almost-transparent grey t-shirt paired with impossibly tight black jeans over his endless legs. He looks up when Steve comes into the lab â summoned by Tony to check out the latest suit redesign â and bites down on his plush lower lip and smiles shyly at Steve.
So, so fucked.
OR
Bucky wants to be Steve's sugar baby, and isn't exactly shy about it.
Habits (ao3) - Sonora tony/everyone T, 10k
Summary: In an alternate universe where super-heroes don't exist, Tony Stark finds himself playing sugar daddy to all the Avengers. He collects them and brings them home and does anything he can for them and lets them go when they're ready to face the world again. Which is okay, he knows, because they always find their way back to him in the end.
I'll Give You All I've Got To Give (ao3) - camichats tony/johnny M, 31k

What he doesn't expect, is to meet a man who changes everything.
When Tony leaves, Steve follows and finds a place in his home, his bed, and maybe, his heart.
New Job Posting (ao3) - TenSpencerRiedPlease bucky/tony N/R, 12k
Summary: Bucky has always taken up really weird jobs. Once he was a mascot and got beaten up by twelve year olds regularly, he also worked at a camp for a while doing maintenance and not once but twice some kid shit in the shower. He once wrote Hallmark card sayings for a while, which led to writing fortunes for fortune cookies. Bucky eventually left that job to be a professional pet cuddler, which led to him somehow finding his way into professional human cuddling, which he left quickly because he was paid to be the big spoon, not someoneâs therapist. His time as a bed warmer was the most fun though.
So Bucky was more than used to a little bit of strangeness to his jobs- that hardly meant he was prepared for his job working for Tony Stark.
Sugar Baby (ao3) - samptra bucky/tony, peter/steve E, 46k
Summary: Tony was shrugging into his coat and heading towards the door before James was hurrying to follow, âWait!â
He caught up with him outside the doors, his useless left arm hanging at his side, surprised Tony turned to him.
âWould I do?â He asked desperate, hopeful.
Sugar Seeking Sugar (ao3) - NotEvenCloseToStraight steve/tony E, 129k
Summary: After Howard kicks Omega!Tony out, Tony is left to raise baby!Peter by himself. Working a crappy job and barely surviving, the Omega is desperate for help. When Omega!Clint suggests a Sugar Daddy, Tony is first horrified then resigned to what might be his only option to keep food on the table.
Alpha!Steve has a career, a big house, and money but is lonely every day of his life and doesn't know how to change it. When Alpha!Bucky suggests a Sugar Baby, Steve is first scandalized and then hesitantly open to at least trying.
The Sugar Seeking Sugar Agency matches Tony and Steve, and sparks fly right away between the pair. One date leads to two, then shopping trips and sleepovers, and Tony has money for bills, diapers and baby clothes while Steve is happy with the company and quickly falling in love.
Alphas usually don't want to deal with another Alpha's kid, so Tony keeps Peter a secret as long as he can but eventually he has to tell Steve about his past, his complicated life and what it might mean for their relationship.
Will the truth put a stop to their slowly progressing romance, or is a family with Tony exactly what lonely Alpha!Steve has always wanted?
Sugar Sweet (ao3) - ColorCoated steve/bucky E, 173k
Summary: College Student Bucky finds himself immediately attracted to Steve. He knows that Steveâs a bit older than him, and that Steve himself is put off by the age difference⌠But that doesnât stop Bucky from wanting to climb him like a tree.
AKA a Sugar Daddy AU that no one was asking for.
The New and Improved Vivian Ward (ao3) - Potrix bucky/tony M, 2k
Summary: Tony likes to think that heâs grown out of this sort of behaviour and he has, mostly, after his little stint of playing prisoner to a bunch of terrorists for over three months, but after the week heâs had, well, who can blame him for wanting to sit back with some good bourbon and watch pretty men shake their butts for him?

Oh my god time to do this. The tough one is deciding what OC to do this with but you all know Iâm choosing Aaron because heâs also sorta my sona?
1. Aaron has a whole stuffed animal collection, although he only sleeps with a few of them because well. Theyâd overflow the bed and some of their fabrics are uncomfortable to sleep with so he only sleeps with the fluffy or pillow like ones he owns. Although itâs on the nose his main pillow plush is bootleg Spider-Man merch he found someone made, just a round blob with Spider-Man features. Aaron bought it and itâs now SO FLAT. Because he sleeps on it every night. He also sleeps with his baby plushie, heâs had it since he was 5 years old and it was made by his brother Mark in an Elementary School class. Itâs ugly, lopsided, strangely big for what it is, and its been through the wringer and is covered in patches and visible stitches used to repair it over the years. The plushie itself is some sort of mix between a cat and a dog, although Mark intended it to be like their childhood dog who passed before Aaron could remember, it ended up as a weird just. Animal creature. Aaron cuddles it every night, and after the end of the first arc started carrying it around with him everywhereâŚ
2. Aaron can at bare minimum take care of cacti and succulents, plants that he can leave on his window sill and water once a month. Aaron would not at all be able to take care of high maintenance pets, or very expensive creatures, like seahorses or fancy fish tanks. But heâs totally able to handle playing with the family cat, and filling her food bowl. And occasionally spending too much money on stupid gifts for her. But he could not handle remembering to buy food and scheduling vet visits, which is why his parents do most of that. And lastly a child⌠while heâd be a âfun dadâ he wouldnât be a good one and heâs self aware of that. His forgetfulness and his secret identity would make it impossible. And he couldnât live with himself neglecting a child like his parents do :(
3. âLove interest..? I like, um. A girl with eyes, maybe- a nose or something. Clothes wearing. Someone more like a friend than a girlfriend⌠hahaâŚâ *Trying to stay in the aromantic closet so bad*
4. Yup! Itâs the only color besides black and white on his suit. Casually heâs usually wearing green but he appreciates a red flannel every once in a while! Which looks pretty nice because he has red undertones for his skin.
5. Aaron gives impulsive speeches as Spider-Man like. A lot. When heâs coming off of adrenaline from a fight heâs actually very good at it, but when caught off guard he tries not to make speeches because heâs awful at it. The only other types of speeches he generally makes is for school. Which heâs pretty average, yet stiff at.
6. No matter what Aaron will always take advice from fellow older heroes he looks up to. Also Mary Jane Watson just because she just has good takes on things. Generally Peter has pretty good advice as well but generally Peter gives Aaron fighting advice and Aaron gives Peter life advice. On the other hand, although Aaron respects Cindy Moon, they are very completely different people. Cindy has a more vengeful mindset, although sheâs not entirely stoic and mean all the time, sheâs not exactly the forgiving jokester that Aaron is. Aaron generally also doesnât take advice from villains who arenât reformed because, yâknow. Norman Osborn isnât known for being trustworthy. Also heroes he doesnât respect. Common Tony Stark L, weird queer kid from the Twin Cities WILL NOT listen to you Ironman you freak!!!
7. Silly gentle giant. âWeird Spider Freak.â
8. Although Aaron is my sona he is not like me in this way. I donât like super complex puzzles but I like working my brain occasionally. On the other hand Aaron fucking hates all puzzles. Chess? His brain hurts. Sudoku? HOWW!!! Rubix Cube? Witchcraft. It hurts his brain and it does not mesh well with his autism. Heâs much more of an english, history, creative wired person than a math and science and puzzles
9. Sometimes? Mainly plants or sentimental objects. But things like random lamps, not really. But if he accidentally rips the plushie Mark gave him heâll apologize to it while heâs sewing it back together.
10. Aaron desperately wants to return to middle school. Weird I know⌠but he wishes he could be friends with Harry again, and be getting closer with Peter. He wasnât the happiest in his transition at the time but his friends and supportive family made it fine. Especially if he could go back with all his memories and knowledge. He doesnât see Spidey as much of a burden either so going forward in time wouldnt be that bad either? But he would prefer to be friends with Harry again.
11. Aaron would freak out and ask Peter what to do. Peter would probably make a whole budgeting plan which would end up with Aaron changing his identity cutting ties with everyone and putting most of it into savings and living humbly. Aaron would be confused, and just end up saving most of it besides upgrading his suit.
12. Aaron doesnât really like romance. ( unlike me despite us both being aro ) Although he would describe himself as romance indifferent honestly it fluctuates between that and romance repulsed. Sometimes heâll drop things if the romance is too much of a main plot.
Will come back with more after dinner-
oc asks that reveal more than you think
Do they sleep with a stuffed animal? If they have multiple, whoâs the favorite?
Can they take care of a plant? What about a pet? What about a child?
Ask them to describe their love interest.
Do they look good in red?
Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Will they give one, and what about?
Who will they take advice from, no matter what it is? Who wonât they take advice from, no matter what it is?
Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.
Do complex puzzles intrigue or frustrate them?
Do they empathize with non-sentient things (dolls, plants, booksâŚ)?
What age do they most want to be right now?
Theyâve won the lottery. Spend, or save?
Do they like romance in the books they read (or in the book theyâre in)?
Name one thing their parents taught them.
Would they agree with the term âguilty pleasureâ? Do they have any?
What would they consider a waste of timeâ other than school or work?
If money wasnât a limit, what would they wear?
Do they like children?
Kissing: tongue or no tongue?
Do they study before tests? Practice before job interviews?
What do they like that nobody else does?
What would it take for them to break up with someone? What would be the last straw?
Do they like being called pet names? Do they call other people pet names? Whatâs their go-to?
Stability or novelty?
Honesty or charity?
Safety or possibility?
Talent or effort?
Forgiveness or vengeance (orâŚ)?
Would they date a fixer-upper?
What recurring dreams do they have?
What would they do if they knew it would be forgiven?

đhalloween with the avengers and co!đ
summary: um. you can read so
warnings: this is literally me rambling, haunted places, animated bucky having like double dâs wtf, the most unorganized thing iâve ever made donât judge me
a/n: this is so messy but i had so much fun just writing whatever came to mind, apologies for jumping all over the place lol but hope you get a laugh out of it anyways đ¤đ¤
OH MY GOD ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE IVE DONE THIS
BUT YALL SHOULD KNOW THAT THE HOLIDAYS ARE MY FAVORITE THING
I MAY BE AN ATHEIST BUT CHRISTMAS IS THE BEST SHIT EVER
and i honestly spent halloween in my dorm bingeing movies and iâm rewatching werewolf by night and just realized i need to write for halloween so oops
halloween with the team is the best shit ever.
you want to wear a costume? no party like a stark party.
sure, some people are lazy and show up in their suits and call it a day (cough sam cough)
but itâs well made up for by peter and harley both going as tony (and arguing over who did it better) and kamala dressing as carol
yelena and nat would dress up as each other and make fun of the other
âiâm natasha and iâm an avenger and i love tight suits with no pockets so my ass looks good when i poseâ
âiâm yelena and i have an addiction to sriracha and versaceâ
tony was going to show up as himself, but morgan wrangled the stark family into dressing as food. sheâs a cheeseburger, obvi
steven convinced marc to go as an archaeologist, but when the latter fronts he instantly yanks off the funny hat and passes it to layla, whoâs honestly just there to watch the chaos
wanda goes with her usual sokovian fortune teller costume, but the twins are more than excited to prance around the tower in search of candy
america brings a share of multiversal candy, some of which isnât⌠exactly⌠edible
speaking of which, if you hand out candy instead, you end up setting up a trick-or-treating path in the tower for the younger team members, with each of the rooms serving as a stop
the eternals are split on halloween. ikaris, being the stoic dramatic hoe he is, thinks itâs overhyped. serseiâs happy to see little kids, sprite likes scaring people, you know
but with all of your experiences combined, none of you scare easily
the worldâs greatest heroes can tank any horror movie with ease, barely startling at jumpscares or violent scenes
but they DO NOT handle haunted areas well
this is entirely based on my experience at the ohio state reformatory AKA the most haunted prison in the us. i went up for fall break since i used to live near mansfield before we moved, and HOLY FUCK YALL
THAT SHITS HAUNTED HAUNTED
i sat in the chair room :)
and it felt like someone punched the right side of my face :(
my right eye teared up and got super red :(((
but i got a piece of brick from the chapel :D
probably have an attachment now :((((
anyway, say you convince the team to visit. even better, you rope tony into paying for the ghost tour
every single noise will send the group jumping
bucky pulls a knife out of his pocket the moment you enter the west attic
steve starts out a skeptic but ends up refusing to even enter the chapel
peter freaking out bc âomg sam and colby and shane and ryan were hereâ
things are just made worse when wanda starts to mumble about ârestless energyâ
fuck that if the scarlet witch is nervous then you can be too
just finished werewolf by night moving on to the zombie episode of what if?
goddamn animated bucky has bigger tits than me
are yâall seein this shit
ok back on track
if jack and elsa are somehow involved thereâll be too many werewolf jokes made
but heâs too much of a sweetheart to really protest them
i love them so much and we only have like an hour of them đĽş
scott would dress up as an ant. iâm not taking criticism. he would try to make hope dress up as a wasp but when she refuses cassie does it.
bingeing halloween movies
arguing whether or not nightmare before christmas is a halloween or christmas movie
deciding the only right decision aka itâs a halloween movie stfu
shuri would come up with a slay costume i just know she would đ
thor and jane would have a cringey couples costume cmon guys itâs literally canon
katy would show up as a hot dog
like the worst discount hot dog costume youâve ever seen
shang and xialing would be forced to be ketchup and mustard respectively
once again argue with the wall
overall, youâll have fun. itâll be chaotic as fuck, but when it comes to the avengers, what isnât?
hope everyone had a fun halloween! now go buy that discount candy bitches!

Letâs all have a moment of silence for the fact that Marauder stans are the HP equivalent to Wanda stansâŚ
So tragic đŁ
The hypocrisy
The not holding them accountable for their actions
The praising of their horrible actions because âanyone would have did that if they were in their shoesâ or âwell that wasnât their intentionâ and âwell they did something good and sacrificed their family/themselves so theyâre automatically innocent angelsâ
The hating on the one character that ânegativelyâ interacted with them then stanning other characters that are equivalent or worse than that one
The fact that the characters they hate did more to save the world (died for it actually) than their uwu babies and theyâd rather have an aneurysm than admit itâŚ
The WAY they give these characters the title of âfeminist iconâ when theyâre far from itđ
Itâs giving clown show at this pointâŚget in bitches, weâre going to the circus đŞ đ
Please how did I never notice the similarities??đ
The hypocrisy, the double standards, the toxicity, the excuses, bashing other characters that were nowhere near as bad, etc etc. Literally how the fuck did I not realise this??
Wanda stans excuse her joining Hydra, enslaving an ENTIRE town hostage because her boyfriend died, murdering multiple innocent people, and literally being a mind-rapist by claiming that âshe was just grieving itâs understandable uwuâ, yet they demonise Dr. Strange for doing bad things when he took responsibility for them and always mended them, and they call Tony Stark horrible⌠yâknow⌠the same man who died saving everyone.
Marauder stans excuse the Maraudersâ sexually assaulting, abusing, choking, immobilising, and nearly murdering a poor, unpopular, already-abused, half-blood Slytherin who was powerless against them by claiming that they were just popular kids when they did it and that Snape âdeservedâ it.
God- the excuse those idiots make:
âOh but Wanda was so alone, she was grieving and had to create a fake reality to ignore the truthââReally? A sob story? Thatâs her excuse? As if everyone didnât lose someone in the war
âOh but the Marauders were just popular boysââThey were 16, thatâs old enough to know sexual assault is horrible
âOh but Snape bullied Neville years later so that means his teen-self deserves itââAhh, so James and Co had the ability to see 20 years into the future? Huh.. I wonder why Rowling never brought that up
Letâs not forget the horrendous cringey-ass girlboss feminist quote from Marvel themselves: âYou break the rules and become a hero. I do it and I become the enemy. That doesnât seem fair.â
Welp, I guess acknowledging your mistakes, taking responsibility for them, facing the consequences, feeling guilt, mending them, and saving the entire universe is comparable to enslaving an entire town, always playing the victim, whining about your suffering, having characters and Marvel themselves excusing your crimes and never actually facing the consequences. Yeah ok that makes sense.
And I will literally never get over the fact that Wanda and the Marauders get called feminist icons. LikeâŚ. WHAT?đđ James threatened a girl (Lily) with violence, blackmailed her, and harassed her. Sirius and Peter actively supported it, and Remus did absolutely nothing to stop it. And let us take a second to remember that Remus wanted to abandon his pregnant wife. Not very feminist of him. And Wandaâwhile not exactly sexistâis FAR from being a feminist icon.
Itâs giving clown show at this pointâŚget in bitches, weâre going to the circus đŞ đ

little hacker
avengers x fem!teen!reader
characters: brief clint barton, tony stark, steve rogers, natasha romanoff, peter parker
summary: you hacked into tony's systems and he, along with the team, track you down.
warnings: mentions of death and a car crash, hacking written by someone who has no idea how it works
word count: 3241
note: hi um this is my first oneshot on tumblr i hope you like it!!
you were 14 when you first met the avengers. your family had gotten into a tragic car accident and you were the only one who made it out alive, leaving you in excessive guilt and burden; guilt because you were the only one granted a second chance at life and burden because you had to live your life, barely scraping by as you were dropped the responsibility of taking care of your sick grandmother.
at 11, where all that the kids your age had to worry about was whether their pocket money was enough to get themselves an after-school snack, you worried whether or not the money left to your name was enough to survive.
at 11, where girls worried about their changing bodies and asked their mothers about it, you had to figure it all out yourself and with the help of your trusty laptop, the only gadget you had, one that your dad had gifted to you after you had gotten 100s for all your tests at age 8. he thought you were his little prodigy and figured a laptop would treat you well. you took care of it well because while you didn't want to spend the last of your money left, âthat was specifically set aside for your grandmother's hospital billsâ you wanted to hold on to the laptop for as long as you could, as a reminder of your loving father, as well as the memories the item held, after you've watched movies with pretty much all of your passed family members on that laptop at different points in your life. that was why whenever the thing lagged due to how much you've been using it, you almost always figure out how to fix it until it was good as new.
at 12, while your classmates had their parents to protect them when they were out at night, you feared for your life whenever you were out past dark. which led you to learning self defence from youtube videos. you learned them pretty quickly and with your sharp-wittedness, you no longer feared to be out at night. you even had the honours of trying out your skills when some men thought they could get you just because you were smaller than them.
at 12, where kids your age were having fun, enjoying their childhood, you had no choice but to be mature and think for the good of yourself and your sick grandmother. you were forced to grow up and you were probably more mature and intelligent than the rest of your classmates combined.
and at 13, you realised that money wasn't going to grow on trees and the money you were left with wasn't going to last forever. it had to last until you were old enough to work. but with your grandmother's condition getting worse and worse, you were forced to drop out of school. you were upset because you loved it. you loved knowledge. but family came first and the only thing that your knowledge increased on was on computers.
which led to you being able to hack into tony stark's bank account at only 14. you had no other choice than to steal money and who better to steal it from than a guy whose pocket change could probably last you another five years or so? you knew who tony stark was, the whole world knows who he is. and you thought that maybe he would be too preoccupied with his alter ego saving the whole world, along with his group of earth's mightiest heroes that he wouldn't notice the tiny bit of money you'd stolen from him.
of course the billionaire had been alerted immediately by his AI when you'd accessed into his systems. "security breach?" he exclaimed, immediately dropping the tool he was tinkering his suit with in his lab.
he spent about 3 minutes, that was how long you took touring around in his systems, observing what you did in it. he watched as you did nothing about the highly confidential information he had and instead, stole....5 grand from his bank account? that was barely a scratch to his account. what was going on?
he had requested FRIDAY to track down the hacker, mainly because he was perplexed that someone had hacked into his well protected system just to steal a tiny bit of money but it seems that even FRIDAY couldn't track down where it came from.
he told the team and it was then that everyone worried how dangerous the hacker could possibly be.
"who steals just 5 grand after hacking into a billionaire's bank account?" clint frowned after tony had explained the whole situation. "i mean, if i managed to hack into your systems, i'd do way more than just steal a couple bucks."
"exactly. and who knows? they might just be waiting for the right moment to install dangerous malware into the system and until we find the culprit, they're roaming somewhere out there with all our confidential information right at the tip of their fingers. if they decide to use it against us..." tony trailed off, for once having a worried expression on his otherwise nonchalant face. he's never been this clueless about what to do with any sort of technical issues concerning the avengers or himself.
you on the other hand, after getting complacent that you weren't caught, kept doing so for the next couple months or so. you had no ill intentions, just trying to scrape by. the whole situation puzzled tony. he didn't care how much you've taken from him in total now, you were right; it was merely pocket change to him. but you were still considered a threat since you had free access to his systems and he didn't even know who you were or where you were.
that was until you made a tiny mistake, one that if tony wasn't spending every waking moment trying to track you down he wouldn't have noticed. and though it was a small mistake, it certainly was going to change how things ran from then on.
that afternoon, after having just gotten back from visiting your grandmother at the hospital, you were planning to get more money from the billionaire's bank account at the comfort of your own home. god, hospital bills were expensive. once you had had a little snack, you settled down on the couch and opened your laptop. but being the quick-witted person you were, before the screen in front of you lit up, you saw movement from behind you.
your heart raced. you could handle fighting people but those usually happened in alleys at nighttime. this was in your home, your safe place. you made sure to lock the doors and there weren't fire escapes outside your windows so how did the intruder get in?
you could tell they were trying to be inconspicuous to get to you and so you let them. you let the person think that they were going to get you without a fight but when they were right behind you, you swiftly turned your body around and jumped over the couch. the masked intruder let out a surprised yelp and the two of you fought for a bit. before you knew it, you had them pinned under you in just ten seconds.
"whaâ howâ what?" it sounded like a boy. you looked down at him and noticed his red and blue spandex suit. you frowned. wasn't this the friendly neighbourhood spiderman guy or something? why was a superhero breaking into your home?
he was coughing from your knee pressing down onto his chest and you lifted it slightly, enough for him to breathe but not enough to escape. he seemed grateful though because he muttered a seemingly embarrassed 'thanks'.
"get off the kid or i'll blast you off of him myself."
you look up and saw the iron man repulsor aimed right at you, and obviously iron man himself was standing right there in the middle of your small apartment. behind him stood a redhead, who you knew as the black widow, aiming a pistol at you, and a man with a shield, captain america. the spiderboy must've come in through the window and unlocked the door for them.
when you made eye contact with steve, he frowned in confusion. you looked way too young to be the culprit they had expected. he muttered a quiet 'wait, what?' before tony stark revealed himself, his iron man faceplate opening.
"um...kid? where are your parents? or guardian? we need to see them because there's been some highly illegal activity coming from this address." the man in the suit spoke. you stayed still, knee still pressing against the boy under you, frowning at the adults in the room. they noticed your apprehensiveness and slowly lowered their weapons. "we're not here to hurt you, you can release the boy now," steve told you gently.
you usually weren't one to trust easily but since these people were known superheroes, you reluctantly stood up, still anxious of the possibilities of what they could do to you. the spiderboy got up too and dusted his back, before going to stand next to steve. you were confused as to why these heroes were breaking in your home until you remembered what you had been up to for the past weeks. how could you forget when that was the only reason you were still surviving?
your eyes widened with fear when they met tony's soft ones. he looked at you with such care and worry that you were reminded of your late dad. the man in front of you wasn't the arrogant man you've watched on youtube. you felt bad for stealing from him now. you used to think that he deserved it, despite how little you took compared to how much he had. the man knelt down before you so he didn't appear so big in front of you, seeing your frightened expression. little did he know you were frightened for a totally different reason.
"anyone else living here, kid? because i tracked down this address and someone has been stealing money from me. i might need to have a little talk with them." he explained, looking around the house. you fiddled with the hem of your shirt nervously, scared of what would come once you came clean about your actions. you were scared you were going to be taken in for juvenile crime but you were also scared of the consequences of lying straight to their faces. so you took a deep breath before deciding to just tell the truth.
"tâthat would be me, sir." you admitted in a small voice, avoiding eye contact with the billionaire you had been stealing from. a few shocked looks from the team and an incredulous 'what?' from tony had you biting the inside of your cheeks in fear.
"i'm truly sorry about that, sir. i..." you trailed off, debating whether or not to justify your actions because you thought that he might not even want to listen to it. "i had to pay off my grandmother's hospital bills because she is very sick. my family died a few years ago in a car crash and i was the only one who made it. i was left some money to my name but having to survive on that along with paying off nana's bills, it was bound to run out. i...i thought that since you were a billionaire, stealing a few thousands wouldn't matter to you...i'm so sorry, sir. iâ i'll start working to pay you back.." you stuttered out, holding your hands together so it would minimise the shaking.
tony's mouth opened and closed, like fish out of water, not knowing what to say to you. he stood up and you were on the verge of breaking down right then and there, feeling as small as you did before he knelt before you. "pâplease don't report me, sir. iâ i don't know what would happen to my nana if you do.. i swear to you that i didn't mess with your other files. i only accessed the system for your bank account and that was it. i have no ill intentions, please don't report me.." you were now the one kneeling down in front of him, begging.
the team were flabbergasted at the scene unfolding before them and tony was quick to get you off your knees, which scared you even more because the death grip of his metal hands on your forearms had your mind running wild at the millions of possibilities of what he would do to you. was he going to kill you and leave you somewhere that people were never going to find your body? or was he going to dispose of you and use his power to remove you permanently from the system so no one came looking for you? he had the power to ruin your life and you feared that.
snapping you out of your mental breakdown, he spoke softly. "hey, it's okay." and that was when you realised the 'death grip' he had on your forearms had only been your paranoia getting the best of you. he was barely even touching you. your teary eyes looked up at his soft, brown ones in fear.
then he smiled at you.
"it's okay. i understand the reason why you did what you did. you're a good kid, your nana is so lucky to have you. what's your name?" he knelt down before you once again, knowing that him standing tall in his iron man suit terrified you. "y/n." you responded timidly.
"how old are you, y/n?" this time, it was steve who asked. you had forgotten that there were other people in the room, too consumed by your fear for your life a few moments ago. "i'm fourteen, mr america, sir." you whispered out, the sight of captain america in person intimidating you until you saw a kind smile on his face.
"you're pretty young to be doing what you've been doing, y/n. are you aware that you're the first person to be able to hack into my heavily protected, supposedly impenetrable network? many have tried to do so and failed, and they were really smart people too. have you been doing this for a while?" tony asked.
"um...my father gifted me this laptop when i was 8 because i did exceptionally well in school. he believed i was a child prodigy and let me have a laptop since he knew my studies wouldn't be affected by the distraction of entertainment. i used to only hack into games to cheat my way up the ranks but only recently i tried something else since i had nothing better to do and i've been out of school for a while now. i knew you were a billionaire so i tried just for the heck of it and surprised myself when i got in on the first try. and then i saw your bank account details and i really needed money so i stole some... again, i'm so sorry about that." you apologised, looking down at your feet.
he couldn't believe it. you were just messing around and you managed to get into his system? you, a mere fourteen year old who was out of school, managed to single handedly do what geniuses around the world had failed to do?
he was initially just going to have a talk with the hacker, and in case they were dangerous and had backup, he brought his own. but bringing steve, natasha and peter proved to be unnecessary when the culprit turned out to be you.
"where did you learn those moves?" natasha stepped closer towards you. you looked up at the redhead, noticing the glare she had on you when she aimed her pistols at you was replaced with curiosity.
you fiddled with the hem of your shirt even more, embarrassed to tell her that you learned to fight from a couple of youtube videos when she had gotten years of actual training. you were pathetic compared to her. "i, um, i learned them from some youtube videos."
her eyebrows raised in surprise at the revelation. you hadn't gotten professional training yet you moved like you had. peter had superhuman strength, agility and endurance yet you took him down in under ten seconds. sure it may have been a disadvantage to peter because he was caught off guard but he should've been able to take you down still.
now was tony going to let the chance of a lifetime slip by? no, of course he was immediately thinking of recruiting you. your dad had been right about you being a prodigy. you adapted to new skills quickly and you were perfect for recruitment.
"hey kid, wanna be an avenger?"
your eyes widened and your jaw dropped in shock. steve immediately turned to him, an incredulous look on his face as he glared dangerously at the billionaire. "stark, you wanna think about this for a minute?"
"thank about what, cap? you saw what she did to the spiderling. and she successfully hacked into my system on her first try and we took weeks to trace her. romanoff back me up here," he saw how impressed natasha was by you and he knew the redhead wasn't going to disagree. "stark's right, steve. she's only fourteen and she's capable of so much already. we need someone like her."
"exactly! she's only fourteen! this life is dangerous for her!" steve argued. peter then tapped his shoulder to get his attention. "hey, mr rogers, i'm a sixteen-year-old avenger and she took me down easily. not gonna lie, it hurt my pride, also my back when you flipped me over your shoulder," he turned to you but you didn't say anything because you couldn't see his facial expression. "but i think she's going to be okay, sir."
steve sighed before turning to you, the defeated expression on his face softening when you looked up at him with your doe eyes and a small smile. you didn't answer to tony just yet since it seemed that steve had a say in it as well but you were dying to say yes. not only were you not going to be reported for your crimes but to be recruited by iron man himself to be an avenger? who could say no to that? not you, at least, since you had nothing better to do with your life at the moment.
"well, what do you say, kid?"
your smile grew and you nodded happily. the team couldn't help but crack a smile at how happy you looked for the first time since they've encountered you.
"well, you should go pack your important stuff so we can go back to the tower. you're going to be moving in if you're an official member of the avengers." tony told you and you nodded, walking towards your room to start packing while the team sat on the couch to wait for you.
"wait, what's going to happen to my nana?" you turned back towards them, worry etched onto you face. "don't worry about it, kid. you can give me the details later and i'll settle it. she'll be in good hands." he assured. "okay." you mumbled in response.
you were actually going to be an avenger. "awesome.." you grinned to yourself as you packed.

I know Iâm probably beating a dead horse at this point but I feel like it isnât talked about enough how the accord do not and will never affect Tony the same way theyâll affect those like Steve & Wanda. Tony can always just blow up all of his suits again & go back to a fully normal life if he wants to. He doesnât have to wear a tracking bracelet, or submit dna samples, or fear getting shoved into a straight jacket or electroshock collar if he gets arrested. Iâll I just donât think itâs addressed enough how blatantly privileged Tony & other normal humans like rhodey & nat would be under the accords compared to their other teammates. No wonder they were so supportive of them from the beginning.
Ah, but what is fandom for if not the beating of dead horses?
I agree with you. I generally prefer the film over the comic event (granted I havenât read it in a few years now), but I do like that the Civil War comic had more time to discuss those civil liberties issues. Like, the damn thing, as with most comics events, is annoyingly massive. Not if you just read the core 6 books of the main CW storyline, but the tie-ins, oh my God the tie-ins. Comic events and their damn tie-insâŚ
For the sake of telling a fuller story though, I do like that the comics had so damn much. There was much more room for side content, for lesser characters who arenât in the MCU, or werenât, at the time. Thereâs a fuller picture of why various people are taking the sides they do. Some of those reasons make more sense than others, but yeah.
Thereâs a bit from the comics that Iâve posted before where Tony and Peter (mid 20âs, his own hero Peter, not Frankenstein, Tonky Jesus fanboy Peter) are arguing about the Registration Actâas itâs called in the comicsâand talking about the civil liberties being violated. Being a 2006 book, itâs got a very post 9/ll, Guantanamo Bay theme going. The lack of trial, of legal representation, the prison thatâs even worse than The Raft. There are several scenes like this as I recall, and yeah, the film is sorely missing them in places. You kind of see it with Team Cap in The Raft, but itâs very much a quick thing in the larger narrative of the film, and thatâs annoying.
Iâm not exactly advocating for this, because the film version with itâs smaller focus works a lot better in many respects, but I do sometimes think of the alternate reality where Disney Plus existed sooner, and Civil War was turned into a series instead of a film. Say six episodes, match the number of installments in the main comic event, eight eps if you wanted to push it. Then we could get something that delved deeper into what these documents actually say, what the publicâs reaction to them is, how they would affect people besides our core Avengers group.
Show some kid like Peter who has abilities but doesnât want to go out and fight bad guys, just wants to live a normal life. Show someone who canât reveal their Enhanced nature to friends or family because it wouldnât be safe for that person. Show the every day or every day-ish people (ala the Netflix shows) and where they stand on this. Wanda talks about people being scared of her after the Lagos incident and you kind of see that, but not really. Actually show that. Show the fears that people have of these Enhanced people, the legit and less legit ones, and show the other side too, the regular, every day people who still look at this and say hey, no, hang on, this is wrong.
Again, not necessarily saying Iâd want this over the film, but if the Mouse overlords ever wanted to revisit that storyline and expand on it, I wouldnât complain.
And yeah, people have talked about this too, but it kind of sucks the way the film handled everyone and their reasons for siding how they did. Steve is all about choice and keeping the government from abusing its citizens ala Hydra, Tonyâs got his whole, we need to be kept in check thing, but very few of our other players land where they land because of the actual Accords. Nat doesnât want her Avengers family to fall apart, and wants to maintain some control over the situation rather than none. Rhodeyâs the career military man who (generally) follows orders and hey, if this is what most people want, we donât get to just decide eh, no thanks. Panther doesnât care about any of this, dude just picks the team thatâs going after Bucky. Peter doesnât know what the fuck he is actually fighting for, Tony didnât tell him, Scott and Clint are there because Cap asked, and also, presumably, because of the danger the Accords would put their family in, but that second point is never explicitly stated.
And SamâŚI feel like we really got fucking robbed with Sam, especially in light of what weâve learned about his character in Falcon and WS. The film doesnât much go into his reasoning, beyond the fact he believes in Cap, heâs Capâs ride or die, etc. But given the history he has in Falcon and WS, again, we were robbed. Dude is all about making sure minorities arenât oppressed, arenât punished for existing. Dude is very much aware of the double-standards in this country. I know that stuff was written in later, but my God did we miss out on a Sam monologue about this in CW. Sam, whoâs like Nat and Tony in that he can theoretically hang up the wings and be free of the Accords, but still takes the other side. Wouldâve been hella interesting to see Sam and Rhodeyâs little argument they have about it be an actual scene, an actual debate. Sam who knows of the US government and itâs unjust laws and abuse of power, knows it long before he hears of Isiah Bradley. Who has those nephews that will have to grow up in a post-Accords world. It just wouldâve been super interesting to see Rhodey and Sam, both Black men who joined the military, one who left, one who didnât, have an actual discussion on why they feel what they feel. Even discounting the finer details of the Sam stuff, the stuff that wasnât written yet, it wouldâve been cool.
And, of course it wouldâve been awesome to see Tony and the non-powered on Team Iron Man (but mostly Tony) get called out on their privilege with this issue, but that of course couldnât happen, because Tony has plot immunity. Let fire and lightning pour forth and destroy all who dare to question the wisdom of Tonky Jesus, praise be to Tonky and all he has given us.

poison ; Â j.t.
pairing: titans!jason todd x reader, pre-established relationship, best friends
warnings: mentions/allusions to (attempted) suicide, jason just needing someone in his corner, spoilers for titans s2e12
a/n: 1000/10 this is meant for  @cipheress-to-k-pop, kudos to her for inspiring this and simping over jason peter todd with me - so hereâs an exploration of what happened between jason leaving rose and showing up to donnaâs funeral
Gotham is, by no means, a small city. And it's easy to come back to, after everything.
After the Titans disband - again, and youâre honestly left with nothing to do and nowhere to go.
After your best friend gets kidnapped, tortured, and thrown off a roof.
After you find him driven to another roof, ready to step off with nothing to catch him, because heâs ready to go somewhere you know you canât follow.
And after Jason Todd leaves on a motorcycle with Rose Wilson, because he is going somewhere you think you canât follow. Except canât isnât the right word - you shouldnât follow him, you think. Because Dick was the one to talk him off the roof, like a brother is supposed to, and all you can remember is the wind roaring in your ears and blocking everything out except that Jason wants to jump, Jason wants to die, Â I donât know how to help him. The words die in the back of your throat, and if Dick hadnât been there-
You donât want to think about if Dick didnât make it up there when he did. So youâre avoiding Jason - which is all too easy to do when heâs supposed to be on the other side of the country. Until he calls you and you realize heâs here. In Gotham. The two of you are still connected by the same city.
He doesnât say where the two of you need to meet, but you know exactly where to find him in the vastness of Gothamâs skyscrapers and abandoned warehouses.
By the time you make it to the top of - surprise, a skyscraper - your legs and lungs are burning. It makes it all the more apparent that you havenât gotten the same level of Batman-training, and that a busted elevator forcing you to take the stairs is already a sign of bad luck. When youâre able to push the door leading to the rooftop open, you spot the gargoyle first, and it somehow manages to make you smile. All the years youâve known Jason, the guy whoâs become your best friend, and youâve lost count of the number of times youâve been able to find him hunched up next to the stone monster. Even now, the shades of yellow on his hoodie stand out like muted sunlight.
âHey.â The sound of your voice and the opening door gets him to turn around. His legs are dangling over the edge of the roof. You know heâs just sitting there - just sitting, nothing else - but itâs suddenly harder for you to take another breath, and when you move towards him, itâs in a sprint. Thereâs a spot left for you between him and the gargoyle, one that you take without hesitation as your hand grabs at his jacket. Heâs taken aback, you can tell - his eyebrows furrow and he opens his mouth to say something, only to close it a second later. This close, and you can see how his eyes are rimmed with red. Like heâd been crying.
Thereâs a stinging sensation at your eyes that makes you think you must look the same. Your fingers tighten around worn fabric, and it grounds you. Jason wasnât wearing the hoodie that day. This isnât the same as that.
âAre you okay?â you finally ask, pulling your knees up towards your chest instead of dangling them over the edge. Youâre too close to the edge already. âWhereâs Rose?â
When Jason finally speaks, his voice is rough in the way that it gets when heâs had a few beers. You know this voice well, the same way he knows his way arounds brews, and this takes you back to the first time you'd met him when you were kids, at the bars that your dad and his uncle would get together at.
âI donât know,â he says. Then he laughs. âI donât care, you know? Fuck Rose-â
âCould you scoot back?â The question almost rips itself out of your throat, despite your efforts to keep it in until heâs finished telling you what happened. But all you can see are his shoes dangling over the edge, stories above the street, and when you look at the street, youâre imagining his body leaving its impact on it. You can feel Jasonâs eyes on you, and you wait for him to tell you to stop being a pussy.
Instead, he mirrors your position and pulls his feet up, tucking them in as he pulls himself away from the edge.
You can breathe again.
âSorry,â you mutter, finally making eye contact with him again. âI just - Iâm sorry.â
Iâm sorry I wasnât there.
Iâm sorry Iâm such a coward.
Iâm sorry I couldnât help you.
Iâm sorry Iâm such a bad friend.
âWhy the hell are you sorry?â Jason asks, brows furrowing. Now heâs really looking at you, and itâs so heartfelt that you need to drag a hand down your face so you can hide. At the same time, it makes you so angry, because all you can remember is a room full of broken and awful heroes, painting him a villain who would drag out their darkest secrets, their deepest pains, to taunt and jab them with.
How could people do that to a kid? How could they do that to Jason, who - sure, he was rough around the edges, and cocky, and he went out of his way to be a little unlikable sometimes, but he was good. He was one of the best goddamn people you knew, even if you were saying that with bias.
Youâre pulled out of the daze youâre in when he calls your name, and you try to speak around the words that are lodged in your throat, clogging it up. âIâm sorry,â you repeated, and the Vice around your throat tightens. âI wasnât there when it mattered. With you. At the Tower. When they - and you-â At this point, you have to suck in a deep, shuddering breath. One that has you keeling forward, head falling between your knees.
âWoah. Woah, woah, hold on-â Jason wrestles his arm out of the sleeve youâre holding onto, and then you feel him pulling you back from the edge. Itâs his turn, and he does it with ease, like youâre nothing but air. Thereâs that training again. âJesus fuck, you - come on.â Just like that, the two of you are collapsing and folding in on each other.
Jason has gone so incredibly still, like he doesnât know what he should be doing, and it makes you want to cry - except you donât. You donât know if you can feel anything else besides being scared or pissed off - at the Titans, at him - that couldnât possibly be fair - at yourself. Heâs so still itâs like heâs a corpse. âYou get hurt somewhere?â he asks, and you shake your head, even as heâs awkwardly patting you over. âSomeone pull some shit on you when you ditched the Tower?â You shake your head again, and you register that you're holding onto his hand. Â You squeeze, tight. Itâs warm. Heâs warm. Thereâs blood flowing through his veins.
Heâs okay. Heâs alive.
Jasonâs hand is squeezing yours just as tight, and it grounds you - heâs keeping you grounded - long enough that you can start to breathe again. Enough that you can keep talking.
âI fell asleep.â The words are eerily similar to Garâs own sentiments when the two of you wandered into the kitchen  to find an already-fractured team. âI didnât - I didnât sleep for two days, you know that? You donât really get any of that when thereâs a psychopath torturing your friend and itâs your fault.â
âIt ainât your fucking fault,â Jasonâs quick to say, words frosted with the kind of accent thatâs married to a childhood down in Crime Alley. You havenât grown out of yours, but his has gone sparse since Bruce Wayne picked him out. âDonât fucking say-â
âGar and I were supposed to have your back down there.â You press your lips in a thin line, eyes meeting his. âIâm supposed to have your back.â
âI was being a stupid little shit. Hank was right.â Fucking Hank. You think you could attack him, probably. Pick a stupid fight.
âWe always think itâs our fault.â Now your words are deliberate. âAnd we always think weâre the fucking poison. âCept weâre not.â Jason groans, and you can feel him start to pull away. You donât let your grip loosen, so he uses his other hand to push his hair back roughly and pull the hood over his head, yanking the fabric down so you canât make out his expression.
âI wasnât gonna jump.â
âYeah, you were.â
âI mean just now. I saw your face. I know what youâre thinking.â
âI thought you were gonna fall.â His lips twist into a grimace, and you let go of his hand to shove your own into your pockets. Your fingertips are cold.
âI wouldâve caught myself.â Finally, the traces of Robin Jason - cocky, uncaring, cool - are coming back. âCould teach you how, if you want.â
âDo you want to catch yourself?â you ask, not quite ready to fall back into lopsided and carefree with him. ââCuz if you donât, I gotta be the one doing the catching, Jason. Even when youâve got some kind of - I donât fucking know, a Superboy doing it.â
âWhy?â The little shit has the audacity to smirk. âYou jealous?â Incredulous, you stare at him. And then you take your bag and you swing it at his shoulder, only for him to smack it away.
âIâm being serious.â It amazes you how Jason does that - switches at the flip of a coin so as to replace the real shit heâs going through with throwaway comments like that. Sometimes, heâs a real asshole. Even as heâs staring at you with an entirely different expression now, one that makes you wonder just how much he knows about how he makes you feel.
âYou need me to catch you?â
âSometimes,â you admit, turning your head as he shifts closer to you, enough that your knees bump against one another. You push against him, and it turns into an exchange that lasts until your knee is sore. By the end of it, you can feel Jason laughing in your ear. His eyes arenât red anymore. You take the sleeve heâd shrugged out of and get your arm through it, leaving the two of you awkwardly cramped against one another, and he laughs even more.
âWhy canât we do this shit at the tower?â
âBecause you get - youâre all moody, you ass. Itâs weird.â You can feel the weight of him on your shoulder and it makes you sigh. âYou - look, we gotta talk. For real, you know that?â
âWe did,â he mutters, a bit more sullen now. But thereâs another elbow to your side, so you think that maybe itâs a bit better. For all that Gotham is home to the worldâs evils, you can still love it if it can bring this out in Jason. âYou know I say shit to you that Iâm not saying to anyone else.â That elicits a half-hearted grin out of you, and you knock your fist against his. His eyes rake over bruised knuckles.
âYou asked me if I was okay,â he says, thumb brushing over them. âAre you-â
âSomeday,â you interrupt, because itâs a fruitless question. Thereâs no being okay, and you realize how your own question from earlier is naive. âIâll get past the fact that weâre gonna keep almost dying. Like the shitshow with Deathstroke. And the fact that the assholes that are supposed to be heroes are full of shit.â Jasonâs expression is all-too knowing, and you wonder if heâs figured out that the reason you went to San Francisco had nothing to do with wanting to be a hero and everything to do with not being able to handle Gotham alone. Maybe itâs better to just have yourself - to not have to lean on anyone else to keep on living, but then you look at the boy in front of you. And you know that if Jason only had himself, you wouldnât be sitting with him right now.
Heâs probably figured you out already. Heâs Robin. For all that you poke at him for being boneheaded, you know that Batmanâs taught him all the ways to see through a person. Even without x-ray vision.
Then he gives you a lopsided smirk, and you know heâs chosen not to say anything. Instead, he hauls himself to his feet - and you with him - with graceful ease, letting you link your arm with his in a way that has your hands brushing together.
âYou still havenât told me what happened with Rose,â you say. At that, he makes a face. One that draws another laugh out of you, because it has his features scrunched up in a scowl that departs from the betrayal youâd found him drowning in when youâd first gotten here.
âYou wouldnât fucking believe - come on.â He uses his foot to toss his bag in the air, catching it with one hand and slinging it over his shoulder. âIâm not doing this unless weâre getting a burger or some shit.â
âWhat, she break your heart, big boy?â You manage to catch the elbow thatâs headed for you, even as Jason kicks you in the back of the knee for that comment. Itâs quips and banters that are coming back, a routine the two of you fall into even after weeks apart. Jasonâs shouldered the door to the stairwell open - losers first - and you find yourself casting one final look to the lone gargoyle before you step inside.
Gotham is, by no means, a small city. Sheâs unforgiving and cruel, and her metal arches and stone beams are interwoven with a history of poison. Some days, you wonder if itâs too late - if youâve already got it in your veins, running through your blood and killing you from the inside. Leaving a city like her was easy.
And itâs easy to come back to, despite everything. Because if Jason isnât poison, then maybe youâre not, either.

Manipulate Me
Summary: As Peter travels Europe as a normal kid, the worldâs peril throws a wrench in his plans. With you by his side chaperoning the trip as an undercover S.H.I.E.L.D agent, the mysterious introduction of Quentin Beck leaves you breathless.Â
Pairing: Quentin Beck/Mysterio x Fem!ReaderÂ
Word Count: 2.8k
Warnings: None!Â
A/N: Thanks so much for requesting this @mrs-blooooomâ ! I had a great time writing for Quentin Beck again. For context, reader is Peterâs older sister but also happens to be a shield agent (it was the easiest route of explanation as to why she would be meeting with Fury and Maria Hill). Requests are currently OPEN and you can check out who I write for in my request guidelines tagged in my bio. Thanks for reading! :) *gif not mine* I do not own any of the dialogue from the film.Â
âMay-âÂ
â-And donât forget the passports! Oh! The passports!âÂ
âMay!âÂ
May stopped scrambling around the apartment only to find that you had the two passports already in your hand. The tired aunt pushed her disheveled hair out of her face, pushing her glasses back up her nose, and slowly calming down. It was fine... Peter had you, Peter had all his friends, Peter would be fine in Europe.Â
âEverything is going to go fine. Iâll be with him at all times and if he decides to wander off and do his Spiderman stuffââwell then Iâll just have to call in some Avengers to stop him.â Â
âI trust that youâll be able to keep him out of trouble if it comes down to it.â May picked up Peterâs suitcase off the floor and listened to his heavy footsteps draw down the hallway and into the living room where you had gathered with her.Â
âAll ready?â He asked with those inquisitively wide eyes that reminded you so much of your mom. May handed him the suitcase but not before capturing the boy in a tight hug. Her âmotherlyâ instincts grew since she returned from the blip. It was strange without the two of them. You, stuck here in New York without a leader in either Fury or Tony and the remaining members of S.H.I.E.L.D, Avengers and then the developed Sword, were left to pick up the pieces and build a life without them. That was the most difficult part.Â
âPromise me that you wonât get into any trouble?â May asked Peter who in reply rolled his eyes with a chuckle.Â
âItâs just a school trip. Besides, Y/n is going to be there and Iâm sure sheâs told you a million times that she can keep me in check.â You smacked the side of his head but he just ignored you and turned to the door, opening it with a rough pull with his spider-y force.Â
âWeâll see you in a few weeks, May!âÂ
If you were able to take back all the words you said and never go to Europe, you would ask Stephen Strange to reverse time.Â
Venice was a mess. The water-creature-man-thing...? had erupted the small city into a chaotic terror with locals and terrified students trying to find cover. Peter was somewhere flying with webs while another hero whom you had never seen before was assisting him. After a few minutes of trying to guide a group of students to safety, you secured cover underneath an awning in front of a store.Â
âMs. Parker! What do we do!?â Flash was almost in tears from fear which you couldnât help but judge. It was water? the kid survived Thanosâ snap so he could survive this. Not to mention Fury would have your ass if any of the kids died on your watch.Â
Out of nowhere the ground started to fill up with water and cracking of concrete or bricks began echoing throughout the small courtyard you trapped them all in. The green man came swooshing in with a cloud of smoke, almost like an illusion, and stopped the water with the sheer force of his magical abilities. The creature reformed into what looked like a water man and the green man dodged the attack with made the sound of bricks tumbling increase in intensity. Suddenly, the tower to your right began crumbling and you pulled as many students as you could closer to the building you sought shelter next to.Â
âGet back! Get back!âÂ
âWho is that guy!?â Jason, one of the students shouted out but you couldnât answer the question because you didnât know.Â
âI donât know, but heâs kicking that waters ass.â Brad voiced exactly what you would have said.Â
The green man continued to fight the water as the tower crumbled beside you all and then, like the blink of an eye, the monster was gone and the water scattered, soaking your shoes with a safety that was much welcomed. The man landed to sounds of cheering from the students and locals that found themselves in the same spot as you. But something was different.Â
Maybe it was the fact that you couldnât see his face, or maybe the fact that you had never heard of this hero and you literally worked for the agency that worked with them all. Maybe he wasnât from this world? Space? Another universe? You could have sworn that you heard of the idea of a multiverse.Â
But maybe it was the fact that beneath all that smoke and mirrors that made up the helmet of the mysterious man, it felt as though when he looked around at his admiring fans, his eyes trained on you, staring through your soul with some feeling that wasnât welcomed or unwanted either. Intrigue, thatâs what it was. And when he flew off, everyone was left with a curiosity that sparked a great debate throughout the entire world. Who was this man?Â
Well, the T.V. at the hotel identified him as Mysterio. Peter managed to make it back in one piece which you were able to celebrate in a brief moment outside before the voices of interested students and the television interrupted the moment. Betty and Ned were searching every website for some kind of clue but nothing other than what the news reported was to be taken as fact. It wasnât aliens, it wasnât witches, it was just another hero.Â
So that was what you went with. That was until you opened your door to Fury sitting in a chair next to the window.Â
âOh my God!â You shrieked and Fury laughed, laughed, at you.Â
âYou scare too easy.âÂ
âWhat are you doing here? I thought you were in spa-âÂ
The slight reveal of a green hand made you shut up. "Furyâ tilted his head with a slight âAh, well.âÂ
âIs this about that Mysterio guy?âÂ
âWeâve got him at a site. Says heâs from another Earth and that these creatures destroyed his own and intend to destroy this one too.âÂ
âAnother Earth? So, the multiverse.. itâs real?âÂ
âFuryâ didnât respond to that, but he simply rose and gestured over his shoulder to the window.Â
âThere is a car outside. Go and wait in it while I go get Peter. The big man told me I need to scare the kid.â You smiled at the thought as the man left to go retrieve your brother.Â
You had been part of the world of superheroes far longer than Peter had. You had been there when Loki first attacked New York way back when and that seemed like so many years ago. With the blip, it seems like an entire eternity. Nick never let you in on his secrets of his relationship with Carol Danvers, but you had met the Skrulls when you went on a mission three months ago to visit Monica Rambeau in space. Unlike her, you werenât blessed with some badass powers, though she didnât always have them.Â
Peter looked terrified walking out to the car and when he saw you inside, he breathed a sigh of relief that he wouldnât be alone. The site of S.H.I.E.L.D in Italy wasnât far from where you had all taken up residence for the last day or two, but it was secluded, down in the catacombs of old buildings that no one would suspect. It reminded Peter of a Mission Impossible movie that you had watched with him before the two of you left for Europe, he felt more like a spy than a superhero in that moment.Â
As you walked behind the two down the long corridors of the abandoned treasure that was used as a make-shift S.H.I.E.L.D, you were surprised to see Maria at a computer, though now knowing about Fury, you were sure it wasnât even her. The center of the room was filled with scattered agents who you werenât familiar with and then a projection in the middle of the room, along with the man without the helmet.Â
You werenât one for fawning over men. Jesus, you worked with Thor sometimes and while you were aware of his Godly looks, you never gawked. But this man, he wasnât a God, he was just naturally beautiful. Dark hair, blueish-gray eyes that surely did pierce your soul, and a stature of a man who knew how to carry himself with power in the world. It was like he walked out of your dreams and into reality.Â
âThis is Mr. Beck.â Fury introduced you and Peter to the man. Mr. Beck approached Peter with a small smile and held out his hand. Peter looked nervous but responded with his own shake.Â
âMysterio?âÂ
âWhat?âÂ
âItâs just what my friends were calling you.âÂ
âWell, you can call me Quentin. You handled yourself well out there today. I saw what you did with the tower. We could use someone like you on my world.âÂ
Peter looked puzzled but Quentin looked behind the boy to you. He held out his hand with another smile which you returned. Maybe there was a shock when you touched hands, but you were sure it was just your imagination.Â
âY/n Parker, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.âÂ
âItâs good to meet you, Y/n.âÂ
âLikewise.âÂ
Did time rush by faster when you were in the presence of someone you were obviously attracted to? Yes, because before you knew it, the night was over, and Fury was leading you and Peter back out to the car. Peter was absolutely smitten with Quentin and could hardly break conversation. The man gave the attention to Peter like Tony did. It was like life imitating itself in another time. Quentin reminded you so much of Tony. Smooth with words, handsome, gifted in almost an unfair way, and he took an interest in the last piece of close family you had. You wanted nothing more than for Peter to have a figure in his life to give him a positive purpose. With Tony gone, heâs struggled trying to find his niche again.Â
âSee you, kid.â Quentin looked disappointed but hopefully that his and Peterâs paths would cross again one day, even with Peter trying to avoid being identified by his class or the world. At some point, someone would figure it out if they hadnât already.Â
âYeah, see you.â Peter said as he walked out, following Dimitri, who Fury ordered to keep Peter in check with you. You were more than capable of doing it yourself but for some reason, Fury felt the need to send another agent.Â
âGood luck, Quentin.â You told him and he nodded his head, glancing at the holographic map of Venice next to him.Â
âI fear Iâll need it. But Iâm hopeful that the good luck will be for more than just winning this fight.â
Swoon. Thatâs what you did for the remainder of the night and into the early morning. You couldnât sleep a wink after the revelations that Quentin relayed to you and Peter about the elementals. That worried you too. How in the world was Peter supposed to sit by while other heroes with indisposed and couldnât help? Sam and Bucky were on their own missions, Carole and Monica were off, Stephen and Wanda were no use and Thor was off on his own adventures with that team of riff-raffs from spaceâyou know, the one with the talking tree.Â
But somewhere in all the jumble of thoughts, the scenery of the canal that had been a scene of something far different, calmed the noise. Enjoy the trip. This was the first time in years that you had traveled for something other than work and yet it was still filling every thought and moment. The thoughts were so loud and invasive that you didnât register the person coming up to your right, ready to take the bag off your shoulders. You felt the tug and turned around, ready to punch the person but they dogged it, pulling it off your shoulder. It was a game of tug of war for the bag, but the person was strong.Â
âLet go! I said let go!â You pulled as hard as you could, therefore the bag came flying back to you and its contents spread across the sidewalk. The person glanced at the wallet on the ground and then back at you before you both dove to the ground. They grabbed it first and you tackled them to the ground. Wrestling with grunts and yells, you hadnât noticed the audience of one that rushed to help. A blast of green light shot the person off of you and you clutched the wallet to your chest tightly, trying to reel in your ragged breath.Â
âI heard yelling from my hotel...â The hero started only to realize that it was you and with a turn of your head, you had realized it was him, Quentin.Â
âOh! Are you alright?â He extended a hand, which you readily took to stand. He then helped collect the scattered items and put them back in the now ripped bag before handing it back to you.Â
âIâm fine. Thank you.âÂ
âItâs no problem.â There was a brief, awkward lull but you werenât sure what else to say.Â
âSo, do you always wander around at night in a city you donât know?â It was an icebreaker, a line that he knew would make you at least chuckle.Â
âNo... I just had a lot on my mind. What you told us in thereâitâs a lot of information to retain.âÂ
âIâm sure an agent like you could handle it though.â You smiled bashfully at the compliment. Quentin gestured over his shoulder and shoved his hands in his pockets. You realized he wasnât wearing his uniform anymore but just a pullover sweater and some dark jeans. How he shot the green light in the first place you didnât know, but all heroes worked a little differently you suppose.Â
âWould you like to take a walk? I promise I wonât try to steal your wallet.âÂ
âHow do I know I can trust you?â The conversation was so light, and carefree that for the first time in a long time, you felt like a normal person. Quentin returned your cheeky smile and began walking.Â
âIâm pretty sure a woman like you could figure out who trust and who not avoid. Isnât that what they train you for? Agents?âÂ
âI suppose so, yes.âÂ
âCan I ask you something?â You asked Quentin and he looked at you with a nod of his head.Â
âHow did you know the elementals would turn up in our Earth?âÂ
âIntelligence. My wife, she had worked for our version of your agency. Before they came to destroy our city, one had already manifested itself in Mexico. It was as if there would be a pattern to follow. So when she passed, I used her intelligence to figure out where they might be, which led me here.âÂ
âIâm sorry for your loss.âÂ
âThank you, itâs been some time now. She would be glad to see Peter helping me, and you helping out with the cause.âÂ
âPeter really took a liking to you. I could see it in the way he could barely contain himself.â You laughed, changing the heavy subject to one more light.Â
âHeâs a good kid. Youâre related I assume?âÂ
âMy little brother.âÂ
âYou should be proud of him. He is doing a lot of good for the world. I just wish he was more confident in his abilities to realize identity protect isnât everything.âÂ
Quentin was right, it wasnât everything. But it was more than identity for Peter. It was also no Tony to lead the way, his want to be a normal kid, his need to have friends and well, MJ to like him. But neither of you would know what it was like to be a teen hero, that was a lot of unneeded pressure.Â
âIt seems that I brought you around full circle.â The sound of Quentinâs voice broke the silence and the realization that you were outside the barely standing hotel. You sighed and tugged the bag on your shoulder.Â
âThanks for saving the day, Mysterio.âÂ
âAnything to help protect Agent Parker.âÂ
If you hadnât just met him a few hours ago, you would have asked him to come upstairs but that was far too forward for the world you created for yourself, so you extended your hand as he had earlier.Â
âMay our paths cross again.âÂ
He grasped your hand tightly and agreed.Â
âHopefully under better circumstances.âÂ
You watched then as he walked away, unaware of the man underneath the facade of Mysterio. How he already knew who you were, knew all your secrets, and was ready to manipulate you to take down the institution that denied him success so many years ago.Â

Out Of Time ~ 126
MASTERLIST
< previous chapter
Word Count: 2,525ish
Summary: Y/N sees her men after saying goodbye to Coulson and the team. Infinity War starts.
Tonyâs apartment was dark and quiet, which was extremely unusual for any of Tonyâs places of living.Â
âTony?â Y/N called, her body was exhausted. She was trying to hold herself together from also saying goodbye to part of her family. âTony?â
âThe Boss is currently away on a business trip, Agent Rogers,â FRIDAY responded. âI will inform him that you are here.â
âThanks⌠Uh, FRIDAY?â
âYes?â
âIâm⌠IâŚâ
âIf I could step in, it seems like your body is exhausted, running on its last amounts of fuel. May I suggest that you rest? I will order food and work with Mr. Stark to get him here as fast as possible.â
âOkay⌠Iâll be in Tonyâs room.â
~~~
âY/N?â Tony called.Â
When FRIDAY had told him that Y/N was back, Tony quickly ended the meeting he was in and flew home. He had been kept up to date on the SHIELD issues, since they were being broadcast everywhere. The man hunt was on Y/N like nothing it had before. He was concerned and so very worried, Tony was barely making it through the meeting.
âY/N? Are you there?â He tried again, exiting his suit and searching his apartment.
âBoss,â FRIDAY responded. âShe is resting in your room. She came back with extreme exhaustion. Iâve sent her to be and ordered food.â
âThanks, FRI,â Tony sighed, relieved.Â
He quickly, but quietly, made his way up to his room. Opening the door, the light from the hallway illuminated a very asleep Y/N, buried in the covers. He walked over, tucking her into the covers more before pressing a kiss to her forehead.
âTony?â She rasped, eyes half opening.
âGo back to sleep,â he urged, brushing his fingers over her cheek. âIâll let you know when the foodâs here.â
She nodded, quickly falling back to sleep. Tony watched her lovingly before changing into something comfier. He was in the living room, waiting for the food, when the elevator dinged. Quickly on guard, Tony stood up defensively. He relaxed slightly when he noticed Peter waltzing in, bags of food.
âHey, Mr. Stark!â Peter greeted excitedly.
âHey, kid,â Tony responded. âWhat ya got there?â
âOh, FRIDAY told me that you needed me to run and get some food. Even told me where to go and what to go.â
âFRIDAY, huh?â He looked up at the ceiling with a little shake of his head. âWeâre going to have a conversation later.â
âAm I intruding on something?â
âNo, kid,â Tony sighed. âItâs about time I let you in on a little secret.â
âA secret? What secret?â
âHow about you go and get everything set up for three in the kitchen and Iâll be right back?â
âFor three? Okay, Mr. Stark!âÂ
The kid rushed away to the kitchen. Tony headed back to the bed room. He had the urge to leave Y/N sleeping, as she very well needed it, obviously. But she needed to eat as well. He walked over and gently sat next to her.
âY/N,â he called softly. âTime to wake up.â
âHmm?â She hummed, stirring from her slumber.Â
âFoodâs here. And, thereâs someone I want you to meet.â
âMeet?â Y/N was more awake now. âTony, you know I canâtââ
âThey wonât say anything to anyone. I promise.â He grabbed one of her hands and brought it up to his lips for a kiss. âPlease?â
âOkay, Tony,â she nodded. Her stomach growled as she threw the covers off of her.
Tony chuckled. âYou hungry?â
âA little.â She put her hands out. âA little help.â
Tony smiled and nodded before grabbing her hands. He carefully guided Y/N so that she was standing. Keeping hold of one of Y/Nâs hands, Tony began to lead them out of the bedroom. Suddenly, Y/N tripped over her own tired feet.
âWoah, there, honey,â Tony said, steadying her. âWhen was the last time you ate?â
âUh⌠honestly, I donât remember,â Y/N responded. âIt was⌠I thought happened.â
âAnd you better plan on telling me all about it after dinner.â
âYes, Tones.â
Tony wrapped an arm around Y/Nâs waist to keep her more steady as they made their way to the kitchen. When they arrived, Y/N saw a teenager, one from the pictures on the wall. He was setting up dinner.
âMr. Parker,â Tony called, the boyâs head snapped to look at his mentor. The boy was clearly surprised to see who was standing beside Tony. âIâd like you to meet Y/N. Y/N, this is Peter Parker. Or, Spider-Man.â
âHello, Mr. Parker,â Y/N greeted holding her hand out for the young hero to shake. âItâs a pleasure to meet you.â
Peter nervously shook Y/Nâs hand. âYouâreâŚâ He swallowed. âY-youâre Lady America. I⌠I fought your brother in Germany.â
âYou did, huh?â Y/N gave Tony a look. Tony looked away, not willing to meet her eye.Â
âYeah! I even stole his shield from him.â
âWell, that sounds like an interesting story. Iâd love to hear it sometime.â
âOkay!â / âLetâs not.â
âMiss Rogers, I promise I wonât tell anyone about seeing you,â Peter continued as they sat at the table.Â
âThank you, Peter,â Y/N replied. âIt means a lot.â
âHow was school today, kid?â Tony asked, taking Y/Nâs plate and dishing food onto it. âAnd patrol? Save any cats?â
âSchool was school. I spent most of science reworking my webbing. And I didnât save any cats today, Mr. Stark. Just some old ladies crossing the street.â
Y/N honestly enjoyed the dinner with Tony and Peter. It was a sense of normalcy that had disappeared from her life what seemed like ages ago. After dinner was done, Peter needed to go home to get Aunt May. He awkwardly said goodbye before disappearing into the elevator. Y/N leaned back into Tony once Peter was gone. Tony pressed a kiss to the side of her head.
âCoulsonâs dying,â Y/N whispered.
âWhat?â Tony quickly moved so that he was facing Y/N. âHow?â
âI donât know. But, I said goodbye to him and the team. Only final time.â
Tony pulled her in for a hug. âIâm sorry you had to do that,â he said softly. âI know how much they meant to you.â
âHe was there when I woke up⌠he was my first friend.â
âDo the others know? Does Daisy know?â
âNo. And I wasnât meant to find out.â
Tony looked down at Y/N. âWhat do you need me to do?â
âHold me.â
So thatâs what he did, all night long.
~~~
To say Bucky was anxious would be an understatement. Y/N had been gone for about a week, without a word from her. Shuri had tried to cheer him up, but it was only met with grumpiness. He was beginning to worry that something had happened to her. After that worry crept it, Bucky noticed that TâChalla and the others were keeping something from him.
âWhat do you know?â Bucky asked, marching into the throne room where TâChalla and his counselors were.
âLeave us,â TâChalla requested, and the others quickly left. âThis is about Y/N.â
âWhat do you know?â
âI will show you.â
TâChalla showed Bucky the news footage of Talbotâs press conference and him getting shot in the head by Daisy, only for Y/N to appear moments later.
âThe government will stop at nothing to throw her in Raft,â TâChalla stated. âI haveââ
âThey wonât waste their time with Raft,â Y/Nâs voice came from behind. The men spun around to see her standing there. âTheyâve already made it clear that they will kill me on sight.â
After spending time with Tony, Y/N knew she needed to go back to Wakanda to see Bucky. She willingly let Tony make her breakfast before fighting him to let her leave. Luckily, she won.
âBut Iâm fine,â Y/N continued. âHealed it myself.â Bucky began marching towards her, clearly angry. âWhat? Iâm okay, I proââ
She was quickly cut off by his lips smashing onto hers. With his only arm, he pulled her into him, keeping her tightly against his chest. Y/N could feel all the worry and frustration that was being poured into the kiss.
âDonât ever do that again,â Bucky growled against her lips.Â
âIâm sorry,â she replied softly. âI really had no choice.â
TâChalla cleared his throat, reminding the two that they were not alone. âIâm glad that you are alright, Y/N,â TâChalla said with a slight smile. âIâm afraid Barnes here was about to burn the whole country down to search for you.â
âThe whole country, huh?â She looked at Bucky, teasingly. âWow.â
âThe whole country, no,â Bucky defended. âThe whole world, thatâs probably about right.â
âCause that would solve the problem.â
âAnything to get me to you, doll.â He gave you a softer kiss. âAre you alright?â
âIâm fine. And Iâm safe.â
~~~
The next year went by in this weird, fast-slow sort of way. Both Tony and Bucky were as understanding as they could be with the situation Y/N was putting them in. But as time went on, the more frustrated and jealous both men became. Valentineâs Day was honestly the least problematic of any of the holidays. And that was saying something.
Alone, Y/N worked to gain more control and confidence with her abilities. She needed to be ready for whatever was coming. At the start of 2018, the Stones slowly began haunting her dreams, concerning both men greatly. Sleeping was becoming a luxury. The Stones showed to her their powers and the vision Wanda showed her three years previous. They kept telling her to prepare, but not exactly what to prepare for.Â
The mounting stress of choosing between the men she loved and the oncoming battle that laid ahead, was enough to make anyone go crazy. But Y/N tried her best to keep an even killed head on her shoulders. Both her men could see that this was all weighing on her, but they did their best (somedays) to take a weight off of her.
Y/N also began to grow more angry at Steve. Though she missed him greatly. She was so mad at him. Mad at him for not reaching out or appearing to not care. She was mad at him for not telling her about Howardâs death and for not being willing to see outside his stubborn ass. For that being there when she lost AJ. But Y/N also missed him terribly. Steve was her twin after all. She would always love him.
It was now currently April and Y/N was up late after having visions of the Reality and Power Stones. And a purple giant. She was alone in her Wakandan bedroom, staring at her hands nervously. She had woken up deciding that she couldnât wait any longer to choose. A choice needed to be made before what ever was haunting her came. In all honesty, Y/N had known for months, whoâd she choose. She was just lying to herself.
With a deep breath, Y/N looked over at her side table. There were two clocks on the table, one with New Yorkâs time and one with Buckyâs. It was almost time for her morning run with Tony.Â
âI guess itâs time to make the choice official,â she whispered to herself. âSomeone help me.â
~~~
Tony was already waiting at the Compound for Y/N. He had bought the property on the other side of the lake months back so that their dates could be outside more. He put in a dirt path so that they could run in the mornings too. Tony was leaning against a tree, waiting for Y/N, with his fingers running over his knew (detachable) arc reactor. Ever since Y/N began to struggle to sleep at night, he knew he needed to do something to protect them. To protect her. The new arc reactor didnât get placed without a fight. But Y/N eventually gave in.
âYou ready to lose again, tin man?â Y/N teased, appearing through a portal beside him.
âI never mind losing,â Tony smirked. âThe viewâs great.â
âPerv!âÂ
Y/N playfully swatted him. Tony grabbed her hands and pulled her into him for a kiss. Something was off about it.
âYou okay?â He asked, pulling away.
âYeah,â she responded, unconvincing. âJust ready for a run.â
She pecked his lips once more before sprinting off. He quickly followed. They ran in silence for a while before Tony started talking, but it wasnât all making sense to Y/N.
âSlow down, slow down,â Tony requested. âIâm totally not kidding.â
âYouâre totally rambling,â Y/N laughed, slowing down to a walking speed.
âNo, Iâm not.â
âLost me.â
âLook, you know how you're having a dream, and in the dream you gotta pee?â
âYeah,â Y/N nodded.
âOkay, and then you're like, 'Oh my god, there's no bathroom, what am I gonna do?', 'Oh! Someone's watching,' ''m gonna go in my pants.ââ
âRight. And then you wake up, and in real life you actually have to pee.â
âYes.â
âYeah. Everybody has that.â
âRight! That's the point I'm trying to make. Apropos of that, last night, I dreamt, we had a kid.â Y/N stopped turning to face Tony. âSo real. We named him after an eccentric uncle. Uh, what was his name?â
âRight⌠Tony, I thinkââ
âMorgan! Morgan.â He snapped his fingers.
âSo you woke up, and thought that we wereâŚâ
âExpecting.â
âReally?â
âYes?â
âNo,â Y/N shook her head. âWe havenât even had sex in a year. How could that me possible?â
âI had a dream about it. It was so real.â
âIâm sure it was, Tony. But I havenât evenââ
âI know, I know. You havenât chosen yet. But just think about it, will ya? My dream canât be far off.â
Y/N sighed and untied the jacket sleeves around Tonyâs neck. âAlso, if you wanted to have a kid, you wouldnât have done that.â She tapped the new reactor.
âI'm glad you brought this up, 'cause it's nothing. It's just a housing unit for nano particles.â
âIt's not helping your case, OK?â
âNo, no, it's an attachment, it's not aââ
âYou donât need that.â
âI know. I had the surgery. I'm just trying to protect us. The future uses, and that's it. Just in case there's a monster in the closet, instead of, you knowâŚâ
âShirts?"
âYou know me so well. You finish all my sentences.â
âYou should have shirts in your closet.â
âI should have more of your shirts in my closet.â
âTonyââ
âI know, getting ahead of myself again. You know what there should be no more surprises. Letâs have a nice dinner tonight and we should have no more surprises. I should promise you.â
âActually, Tony, I really need to talk to you about something. I madeââ
âTony Stark,â a man with a red cloak appeared a few feet away. There was an orange portal behind him. âY/N Rogers, Iâm Doctor Stephen Strange. And I need you both to come with me.â

Meeting Captain America
Chapter one from my Stucky x OC story on Wattpad; Electric - Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes
Story is rated M for mature as it contains a lot of smut. Kink warnings can be found in the Authorâs note (thereâs a lot..)
MADELINE
I am out of breath but I keep fighting. I am using my last remaining energy as I kick a robot in the face with a back kick. As another one charges at me, Peter comes flying out of nowhere.
"You okay?" He yells, flying past me, his webbing holding him in the air.
I manage to yell back "Yeah just... a little out of breath at this point"
"I FEEL YA" he yells as he continues to fly through the air.
Even my powers are getting limited now, my stamina was not prepared for this kind of battle and as I launch an energy attack towards, what seems like, a never ending parade of robots, it only does half the damage I know it could.
The robots come charging at me and I know it's over. There's no way I can win now.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Great job kids" Tony Stark's voice soars through the speakers and all robots freeze in motion.
The training facility lights come back on and everything goes back to normal. The robots stand up, turn around and walk away like nothing happened.
Even the ones I thought I had done significant damage to.
Tony Stark walks down the big staircase from the glass box up top and finally reaches us on the training floor.
"That was good work you guys. You are really improving. We are reaching the highest levels my training bots can muster up and you put up a good fight."
I look at him confused as I felt this session was a giant failure. I lost my energy way faster than normal.
Before I can speak, Peter interrupts him.
"Thank you Mr. Stark. I really appreciate that. I've been working on increasing my stamina."
Damn it Peter. Why do you always have to be such a perfect fucking student? I should have been doing that too. It was obvious today I wasn't at my best.
As I sit on the training floor looking at my hands in disappointment, Tony Stark addresses me.
"Madeline, stop being hard on yourself. You did great. You are becoming more in control of your powers every day and with a little more training your martial arts will improve immensely as well."
I look up at the hero before me and I blush. "Thank you, Mr. Stark. But I do feel I haven't been improving as much lately..."
As I drag my sentence out he observes my face.
He then looks away and after a second of thinking, looks back at me and says "I know. That's why I want to move you in to the Avengers compound permanently so we can train you every day instead of these sporadic trainings. You have been doing well in the early stages of recruitment Madeline and I think moving you into the compound would be the natural next step. That is, if you still want to become an Avenger, of course."
I look at him in disbelief. Did Tony Stark just say I should move in with the Avengers? I can't believe it.
Before I can even think straight I hear Peter's voice.
"But Mr. Stark, what about me? You know this is what I want and I feel I am more than ready!"
I look over at Peter. He's not wrong - he has been doing a great job and considering we have been training together for so long I wouldn't be surprised if he was offered the same.
Tony turns to look at Peter.
"Kid, I know you do. And trust me, you will. But you are still in high school. Madeline is 21, she is ready to become part of recruitment for the Avengers. You are still too young for me to want to put you through that. Besides, how would I ever explain it to your aunt May?"
Peter looks at Tony with pleading eyes but Tony looks back at him with a stern look.
After a couple of intense seconds Peter finally exhales. "Yeah, okay Mr. Stark. I guess you're right."
Tony smirks. "I'm always right kiddo. Now let's get you back to your aunt or she will rip my head off."
He helps Peter get up and they start to leave. Right as they are about to exit, Tony turns to me.
"Oh, by the way Madeline, I'm sorry but I have to take Peter home personally. But, I arranged for a friend to come get you and help you find your way at the compound. See you soon!"
"Thank you Mr. Stark" I yell after him as he exits the room.
I am still sitting on the floor of the training center trying to catch my breath.
As I look around I realize I am suddenly very alone. If someone were coming to get me wouldn't they have been here by now?
I decide to get up and try to find someone when I hear a voice behind me that makes the hairs on my entire body stand up in shock.
"Hello there. Madeline? I am here to take you to the compound."
As I stand with my back to the voice I know exactly who it is.
I have heard that voice a million times in my head.
I have fantasized about that voice for as long as I can remember.
Once I finally turn around, I see him standing there, in all his beauty and glory.
"Captain Rogers... Hello".
I watch intensely as Steve Rogers walks towards me the way that only he can.
He is wearing that beautiful dark blue suit of his, carrying his shield on his back.
You know the one - it hugs his body perfectly and it's impossible not to admire this specimen of a man.
As he stands before me, I am speechless.
I quickly look him up and down because I need to remember this moment but at the same time, I don't want him to notice just how much he is affecting me right now.
"It's very nice to finally meet you Madeline. Tony has told me a lot about you and your abilities." He looks at me and as I stare into his beautiful blue eyes I feel like I'm drowning.
I am lost.
But I honestly don't mind.
As I stare at him I don't realize that he has been talking this whole time until he interrupts my trance.
"Madeline.. Is everything alright? You look a little.... tired..?"
Once I hear him say my name I snap out of it.
I manage to clear my throat and very loudly yell out "I'm fine!"
Followed by a very embarrassing "I'm sorry I'm just a really big fan!".
He furrows his eyebrows and clears his throat. "Yes, well... Thank you."
He looks at me quizzically, while still staring into my eyes, and it's making my entire body tingle.
He clears his throat once again before saying "should we get you to the compound and get you settled then?"
"Yes, thank you," I manage to muster up as he strides past me towards the exit.
I cannot help but admire him as he walks.
When you have been infatuated with someone for so long it's just hard not to be affected the first time you meet them.
Steve has never been to any training sessions we've had - he's been doing a lot of his own work without the remaining Avengers.
So while I've already met Natasha, Wanda, Thor and Sam, Steve Rogers has been a fleeting fantasy in my existence. Until now.
We enter a black limo together and he sits on the opposite side of me.
I see him studying me with his eyes and it makes me instantly blush.
I turn away - I'm shy and I really don't want this man to notice the effect he has on me.
We drive in silence for a while as he looks out the window. Whenever I can, I steal a glance.
I cannot believe I am in a car with Captain America.
After ten minutes of driving he turns and looks at me.
"So, Madeline, you're special aren't you?"
I look back at him in surprise.
As I hold his gaze I say "I guess, I mean that depends on how you define special, Captain Rogers."
He lifts his eyebrows at me, "Well, I mean, you have powers, don't you?" His voice is low and deep as he speaks.
"Yes. I do. I have energy surges running through my body at all times and if I concentrate or focus enough they come out as very powerful shocks." I look him straight in the eye as I speak.
Once I finish my sentence I see him turn away quickly and then he looks back at me again. Was he blushing?
"That could be useful. Any complications in normal life?" He looks me over and he is clearly studying me and my reaction.
I find the question silly as anyone in control of their powers wouldn't have an issue with this.
I dryly reply "No Captain. I am fully in control," as I look at him confidently.
He smirks at me but doesn't say a word.
The rest of the ride is in silence.

Assorted Sylki headcanons:
General
Loki is genderfluid, and goes by multiple prounouns, but Iâm not sure about Sylvie. Perhaps she is fluid as well, or maybe sheâs cis, agender or a trans woman. My current head-canon is that she is AMAB and uses she/they prounouns.
They are both bi/pan (duh), though I headcanon Loki as gray-aro and possibly poly. Once again not sure about Sylvie.
They have a lot of the same hobbies. Both being huge fans of literature, history, science and the arts.
This leads to lots and lots of deep and nerdy conversations.
Ultimate power couple. Could probably take down Thanos by themselves if they teamed up. They laugh together, they fight together, they teach eachother magic and learn some together as well.
I feel like they would develop some healthy competition here. They love eachother enough to be more proud than jealous if one learns something faster or is more natural at a specific skill.
They totally fight for Mobiusâs attention. Mobius is just very happy to have two Loki variants in his life to study. (And be besties with of course)
Iâm not saying they adopt kid Loki, but Iâm not not saying it either...
They have thier ups and downs but always come back to eachother. They are literal soulmates, after all.
Emo
They still ask eachother if theyâre okay.
Loki writes her poetry and reads and/or sings her to sleep. She likes to give him massages or use her enchantment to soothe him.
They love slow dancing, though it takes a little effort to get Sylvie onto the dance floor in public. Their song is âif you love meâ by Brenda Lee.
He tells her everything about Asgard, reteaches her Asgardian, tells her about the life she could have had. She tells him tales of things sheâs seen and he could only dream of.
Then Loki takes her to Asgard. She gets to meet his family. Perhaps they even manage to go back and meet hers.
Loki helps Sylvie trust again, and teaches her how to have fun and be vulnerable. He is the only person she will cry around.
Sylvie helps Loki love himself and opens him up to life paths and ways of thinking he isnât used to.
I donât think theyâll have thier happy ending, as much as I want them to. As much as they deserve. So when they are inevitably parted, they console themselves with the knowledge that somewhere, sometime, they are eternal.
But even eternity isnât forever. In that eternity, they die hand in hand.
Mischief
They cause a LOT of trouble at family gatherings and similar events. They crashed Sif and Valkyrieâs wedding. The heros, Dr. Strange in particular, are fucking fed up with them. The Peters love them.
Everyone is weirded out by their relationship but still somehow ships it. They receive lots of teasing and âgo fuck yourselfâ jokes, as well as the odd âstop touching yourself and concentrate.â Thor definitely finds it weirdest.
Sick of people assuming theyâre related, Loki and Sylvie start playing along and introduce themselves as siblings just to see the horror on peopleâs faces when theyâre caught kissing.
But sometimes theyâll use illusion projection to have some (Ahem) fun in public and/or avoid being walked in on.
Matching outfits. Enough said. Honestly if we donât get to see both of them donning the full costume in season two...
They shape shift into eachother sometimes to either annoy other people or annoy eachother. On a smaller scale, theyâll sometimes switch their hair colors or headpieces for a laugh.
Trick tournaments. They know eachother so well that is nearly impossible to lie to the other. So they make a challenge of it. They compete to see who can prank or fool who first. The winner gets a...ahem...special treat that night. Theyâre both incredible actors, so these games get intense.
They tease eachother constantly. This banter can get quite mean, but they both know itâs out of love.
Spicy (18+)
These two have two kinds of sex: tearful, tender lovemaking, and the wildest kinkiest shit conceivable. Weâre talking shapeshifting, consensual enchantment, illusions, knife play, and some of the strangest and most messed up foreplay you can imagine.
Some of their faves include King and Queen (on Asgardâs throne), twincest (you know they would), conjuring an illusion theyâre fucking in front of everyone they know...walking around in public appearing naked to eachother but clothed to everyone else...
Itâs also very good sex. They know exactly what the other wants and how. And they have a lot of it. Everywhere. And in the strangest places. You canât even imagine the situations theyâve been caught in.
Oh and theyâre both switches. Sometimes heâll dominate her and sheâll finally trust someone else to be in control. Sometimes sheâll peg him. Remind him just how powerful she is, as if he needs reminding.
Loki does this all the time, but sometimes Sylvie will change up her genitals for a twist. Or her species.
When itâs rough, itâs rough. Scratching, screaming, roughhousing, biting. Lots and lots of biting.
When itâs tender, itâs tender. Loki whispers softly in asgardian. Sylvie admits things she never has before. They trace patterns on skin. Kiss tears away.

One thing that pisses me off not just about the miraculous fandom but modern fandoms is fans inability to consume long overarching stories.
Like so many people are complaining about how long the reveal is taking or why haven't certain characters outgrown this trait yet or why is this character arc botched or abandoned. Like guys we just got the confirmation this show will be 7 seasons long PLUS like 3 tv specials. We're only roughly halfway through the series.
Once the reveal happens half the tension in the show is gone! I'm not saying leave the reveal till season 7 and make us wait 9 years this isn't HIMYM but miraculous is not a fast paced story. It's a long haul story. I just wish more fans would be patient. Miraculous is in the extremely fortunate and rare position that it will have a conclusive end and not be suddenly cancelled. That was and still is a huge problem for shows and cartoons with dedicated fans but networks pull the plug for stupid ass reasons.
So miraculous fans please chill the fuck out on things not resolving right away. We still have 78+ episodes plus the tv specials. If we get the end to certain things now it'll be so boring.
I think the concept of Instant Gratification describes the issue with many modern fandoms today. I hate to sound like I'm anti-technology, but the constant stream of quick and short bursts of entertainment allowed by the information age has made people more impatient. It's not about waiting for the climax to get a deeper sense of satisfaction, it's about getting that instant gratification right this instant. It's why one-shot fanfics are all over the place, when multi-chapter stories used to be just as common and popular, if not even more so, and itâs also why people are less willing to read a fic thatâs still a work in progress. It's why people refuse to watch Youtube video essays even as they leave comments on the topic based on the title and thumbnail alone because, while they couldn't be assed to watch a 20-minute video (let alone an hour long one), they sure can spend that time calling the Youtuber names and making arguments the video actually already refutes. It's why a lot of online arguments happen only because one party read nothing but the first and maybe the last paragraph of someone's post and skipped all the explanation for their point of view (if I've ignored an counter argument for one of my posts, it was either because I missed it or because said counter argument did this. I have attention deficit issues so I do genuinely forget responses sometimes, but I'm also not writing a second essay for someone who's proven to me they won't read it).
Of course, it's only by constantly consuming only fast-paced content that you can become this impatient. People have different ideas about stories based on what stories they have encountered in the past.
Another thing that influences the Miraculous fandom in particular is that, while I love to show off exactly how much Miraculous has done to build up the overarching plotlines, Miraculous isn't really a show that's about a single story. It's easy to understand why people think it is one though: there's one main villain, we keep discovering more about the mythology, one of the main plot threads is the romantic relationship between the leads and singular episodes and plot elements tend to get payoff later. What is the purpose of a show if not to progress the story? Because the heroes aren't getting closer to defeating Gabriel or getting together, people think that the story isn't accomplishing anything.
I'll do a comparison to illustrate why these things aren't as clear-cut signs of a continuous storyline as people think. In the Spider-Man comics, you can pick any issue up and the chances are that the villain will be a part of Spider-Man's already established Rogues Gallery, who's back for more after who knows how many defeats, and those past defeats might even get referenced in callbacks to previous issues. It's also very possible that Peter and Mary Jane's relationship is the central focus with them not being together yet, having relationship problems or even having broken up (in really old issues the girl might be Gwen Stacy and short-term options have also always been available for romantic entanglements). Does this mean Spider-Man is a continuous story where the only point is that all the villains get put away for good and Peter and MJ live happily ever after? No, it doesn't. Spider-Man is designed to go on indefinitely, so there's no clear ending point. So, what is the point of Spider-Man then, if there is no Ending?
It used to be the single issue, because comic books used to have every issue be a stand-alone story about the hero and their supportive cast. These days it's more every three-to-six issues, because superhero comics are written to have short story arcs that can then be collected into trade paperbacks. A superhero series is not a single story; it's a series that functions as a story engine, meaning the series can generate several shorter stories where the hero helps fix a problem or solve a mystery.
In the superhero genre a villain will never get killed off or removed from stories permanently as long as the writers think they can still come up with stories to tell about them. The hero's romantic life will never be completely smooth sailing unless the writer is using other things to ramp up the stakes. Everything always allows for there to be another adventure.
I think the huge success of Avatar: the Last Airbender made people think that a series that is a single story is always superior to a series with multiple shorter plots. When I was liveblogging Sailor Moon, a viewer offered to give me a list of all the non-filler episodes because they genuinely thought I'd feel like I was wasting time on the show otherwise. This attitude is simply not based on fact. It's not fair to compare Miraculous Ladybug to Avatar, because they're both setting up to do completely different things. Miraculous Ladybug is trying to become a brand, like Batman or Spider-Man. It is part of the "Zag Heroes" lineup, a series of French-created superhero franchises to compete in the America-centric superhero market. This challenge is good for the genre, because Marvel and DC have started resembling each other more and more as these companies stew in their old ideas and copy everything that worked for the other one. The superhero genre needs new blood.
Also, Avatar: the Last Airbender first became popular by doing episodic plots for almost the entirety of the first season because it's actually not a wise choice to expect the audience to be willing to commit to a story that'll only give payoff later when working with an untested IP. Very often shows with longer story arcs start with the episodic format to hook people first, and sometimes the more linear plot is introduced specifically because the audience for the show is now expected to be both dedicated enough and older and capable of keeping up. Because, here's the thing: you can't expect little kids to remember every episode or even every character you've introduced in your show. I'm not sure if people are ready to hear that but I'm throwing it out there anyway. Kids are not dumb, they can understand more complex storylines, but many kids are still training their memory, so they might not remember the details of complex storylines that go on for too long.
This is why the news that Miraculous Ladybug's fourth season was going to have a recommended viewing order originally had me concerned. Miraculous is being branded for kids. The plot requiring too much skill in memorizing story details will make it less accessible to kids and might put those two additional seasons at risk. However, it seems that the "constantly changing status quo" concept of Truth, Lies and Gang of Secrets was a fluke and the evolution of the show is more subtle, so they might not be cutting the amount of episodes for those final seasons because the show is getting too complicated for kids to follow all the important details.
Regardless, Miraculous Ladybug being an adventure cartoon TV show instead of a comic book or a more cheaper-to-produce TV drama does mean that Miraculous Ladybug isnât expected to go on for decades like a superhero comic or a soap opera. Because of this, it can have evolution and changes and even a planned ending. The show is expected to end at some point, even by the people making money off of it, mostly because making a cartoon like this indefinitely costs a lot of money, and kidsâ adventure shows tend to see a decrease in returns if they go on for too long.
