She watched him walking towards the exit of the building, and she thought for a moment that he wouldn't even notice her. It felt fitting, since she'd spent so long avoiding her team. Maybe it was better that they forget about her and move on with their jobs and their lives.

She knew it was wrong for her to keep quiet so long about her recovery. But she'd been struggling, and unable to deal with the event herself, so how could she tell everyone else? She shook her head to herself, eyes burning slightly with the hurt of all the memories.

She was about to turn away when he looked up, eyes landing directly on her. Philly watched as Steve froze in place, face going slack with shock. They were a room apart, but her heart began to pound anyway. She took a deep breath, meeting his eyes and keeping her face calm.

Lifting a hand slowly, she gave him a timid wave. She didn't know how he would react, but she had decided long ago that she'd have to tell him in person about her recovery. Phone calls don't do anything justice.

Fully Alive || Philly and Steve

It was a normal day for Steve. Well, as normal as it could be for him. Really, weird was his new normal. The unexpected was now expected for him. It made him worry about being caught off guard, because it would have to be a truly horrible thing to catch him like that.

It would either have to be a terrible thing, or something so absolutely wonderful that he wouldn’t be able to comprehend.

And as he turned around and started to head out of SHIELD headquarters, he saw something totally and completely unexpected.

Philly was standing there, barely looking like she had a scratch on her.

Philly, who’d been stabbed and was believed by Steve to be dead. It had been a while now, and he had accepted her death, but all of the emotions surfaced again when he saw her standing there.

He was speechless. He simply stared at her, not sure that she was really there.

Philly giggled, waving her hand and pushing the bottle back in his direction. "I'll take your word for it, Ward." She grinned, and she actually felt comfortable sitting with him this way. It was free and simple; something she hadn't had time for since the accident in New York. She stared at his face for a moment, eyebrows knitting together as her thoughts drifted around her mind.

"Thank you for rescuing me." She said, but this time it was with serious gratitude, and a sincere smile. She watched him take a drink, handling the sting she knew came with the liquid well.  "I know that it seems like nothing, but I've been dreading this night for weeks and now I feel good. Happy." She grinned down at her hands resting folded in her lap. 

She glanced up at him, eyes shining. "Plus, there's always the bonus that I could possibly get you drunk and learn all of your deep, dark secrets." She giggled again, leaning over so that her shoulder bumped his for a moment.

Philly raised an eyebrow. "I know nothing about Quantum Physics, Simmons. I'd be of little help." She sat down in another chair and rested her chin on her palm. "And we got an anonymous call from the creator."

My character is very sick but refuses to stay in bed. What does your character do to keep them there?

Philly's eyes widened slightly; she didn't drink. It wasn't so much a lifelong promise she'd been carrying out. She'd picked up the habit after her recovery, just tending towards not drinking more often than she picked up a glass. "Oh.." She said, laughing softly and allowing her voice to trail off. She bit her lip and looked at the bottle. 

She met his gaze and gave him a sheepish smile. "I have a terrible tolerance, Ward." She played off her awkward pause, sliding down the wall next to him and crossing her legs in front of her, her dress flowing smoothly over her skin. She was shorter than him now, looking up at his face as he spoke.

She laughed at his comment, shaking her head. "Hey, I went willingly, so you can't get into any trouble for it." She rolled her eyes. "I'd much rather be here anyway, parties aren't my type of scene." She wrinkled her nose, listening to the voices coming from the other side of the wall.

Philly rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah. I'll drink until I can't stand anymore and then I'll cry or something. You have to remember they're watching me for signs of PTSD." Philly tried to joke, but it fell a little flat. Then she laughed. "I knew you'd be excited to see Bruce. I was on the phone with him the other day discussing hotel options, and he mentioned missing your annoying banter." She winked at her friend, running a hand through her hair.

When You Call | Toni Stark

"Hah, I’m hoping Steve doesn’t ignore me all on his own." Philly winked at her friend, shaking her head. Then she grinned, shaking her head. "You will not get me drunk. It just isn’t possible." She brushed an eyelash from her cheek that was tickling her skin. Then she met Toni’s eyes, hers becoming amused again. "If it makes you feel better, the man I’m in love with doesn’t know how I feel." She giggled. "So I’m almost always away from him!" She shrugged. "This trip will be much more than interesting."

Philly couldn't help but giggle as Ward pulled her out of the gala. Usually she just sat around and drank water at a table by herself at events like that, watching people dance and talk. Ever since the accident, she'd avoided approaching people she used to work with, worried about how they'd treat her. She knew it had to be difficult not to see her as fragile after everything.

"Something tells me this will be a lot more fun than the gala itself." She laughed, enjoying his grip on her arm as he pulled her along. He was by far the best companion to bring to a boring event, she decided.

"Is that your favorite poison?" She asked as they walked, eyeing the bottle in his hand. She wasn't one to get drunk, but she could imagine Ward after a few glasses, and she grinned. "Looks kind of strong." She said playfully.

Philly giggled but then frowned. "Well, count yourself lucky. They force psych evals on me all the time. Guess that comes with dying." She rolled her eyes.

Midnight Hour | Natasha Romanov

Philly nodded. “Good plan. That would be great.” She grinned. “Would you want to stick with us for this?”

[thistakesprecedence-blog]

Philly bit her lip, studying the patterns on the table and then watching Tony rub his fingers together for a few moments. She shook her head, but then she took a deep breath. "Crazy dreams. Bad ones. Of things that I can't figure out." She sighed. "Stuff that I'm starting to think is actually true, and that what I think is reality... isn't." She looked at him, eyes wide and sad.

Here With Me | Tony Stark

Philly rolled her eyes. “Oh, yeah, that’s just what I need, Stark.” She giggled, running the pad of her finger around the rim of her glass, chasing the straw through the ice. Then she bit her bottom lip again, watching the frozen pieces move out of the way for the straw. It made the image of Loki and his sly grin pop into her face, and she stopped herself from flinching away from the table.  She caught Tony’s gaze. “Do you think I have PTSD?”

Philly gives her a tight, but genuine smile, nodding. "Wouldn't be giving you the task if I thought you couldn't do it. Fitz has a copy if you want him to come in as well."

Seen the World | Jemma

Philly nods. “Decipher it. You’re the best we’ve got for now, Simmons.” She gestures to the file. “No  one has been able to do it thus far, so there’s a lot riding on you.”

[thistakesprecedence-blog]

Uh oh! Your character is watching mine get hit on and is feeling possessive. How does your character handle this?

[thistakesprecedence-blog]

Philly followed him, a little twinge taking her by surprise as he moved away from her. She smiled politely at the bartender but shook her head, turning slightly to face Ward. Though she didn't drink often, she had the urge to, but knew that doing so tonight could possibly get her into trouble if she was to be addressing the crowd.

Her eyes widened slightly at Ward's question, and she swallowed hard. Crossing her arms, she shrugged her shoulders up against the sudden chill running down her spine. "Oh, God. Well, whenever Stark finds me and drags my butt up onstage." She bit her bottom lip, glancing over to the raised platformed being occupied for the moment by a live band.

She stared at Ward, searching his face."Unless Tony never finds me." She scrunched her nose up slightly. "Maybe I could avoid going up in front of a hundred people and talking about how I came back from the dead." She shrugged.

The moment his hand landed on her back, Philly's smile became more genuine and her shoulders relaxed out of the tense lock she hadn't realized they were in. The reporters wouldn't get her, she wasn't alone, and all she had to do was go through one door to be free. She let out a breath, glancing over at Ward with a wry grin. 

When they were inside, the door sealed firmly behind them, she laughed quietly, looking up at him. "That always eats away at my nerves. Some of the things they yell are so awful." She brushed a hand through her hair, smoothing it some. "Hopefully that didn't ruin your night, since the fun is just starting." She said playfully, raising an eyebrow at him.

She glanced over her shoulder at the crowd of team officials and SHIELD agents in suits and gowns, holding sparkly glasses or dancing together. Tony and the rest of the Avengers were in the throng somewhere as well.  She shook her head, and then she turned to meet Grant's gaze again. "Looks like they started without us." She rolled her eyes, still grinning.
