CLINT BARTON: you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. @markmans

“  SEE, YOU MAY CALL IT LUCK, BUT I CALL IT SKILL. IT WAS COMPLETELY CALCULATED.  ” ever the one to attempt to diffuse tension with humor and sarcasm. she knows it hadn't exactly been a one - and - done deal, and she did cut it quite close at some point; but what's life without a little risk? with a hand still pressed to the cut on her shoulder and the torn up the fabric of her suit, diamond shrugged lightly on the un-injured one. “  easy peasy lemon squeezy !  ” though it seemed like clint wasn't all too enthused about her carelessness. “  um, yea, on a more serious note ... if yer' have any bandaids or maybe some gauze, i'd appreciate it.  ”

DIAMONDBACK RACHEL LEIGHTON

[throwsdiamonds]

“  IT'S JUST TWO BLOCKS OVER, REALLY, YA' CAN'T MISS IT. they've got a big ugly neon sign and everything.  ” she added with a pointed finger out the window as if it was just across the street. rachel's smile widens in an instant once emily offered up her pickles and moved them to her box. “  i love pickles, i'm the type o' gal that'll eat them straight outta the jar. but to each their own, right?  ” she leaves the fries to instead dig into the pickles just transferred to her, and rachel realizes there's another jab incoming. but hey, wasn't that why she was there in the first place? “  nah, ain't always been like that. grew up with three older brothers, so you kinda learn it the hard way.  ” there was a pause when she thought back on everything, her childhood home and how it'd been torn apart simply because she wanted to be one of the guys. “  ran with some tough crowds when i was younger, really wanted to be like daniel, my brother. ... didn't turn out well for any of us.  ” ricky dead, willy dead, and danny sent running for the hills. the leighton family was never whole again. “  found out really quick that i shouldn't take shit from anyone, and honestly, life's been loads easier since.  ”

emily sees in rachel what she wishes she saw in herself. self-confidence, an air of competence she embraces instead of shies away from. she is unabashedly herself (or that's how emily sees it; if rachel is concealing obvious parts of herself, emily wouldn't know or notice), and the handler craves that easy level of self-assurance. if only she could be bolder. if only she could smile more. "these are amazing — where was this place again?" she sips her drink, staining the straw with plum lipstick, and raises her eyebrows expectantly at @throwsdiamonds. "are they close by? i need to order from there again — this burger is amazing." at rachel's hasty change of topic, emily sighs... but accepts it. seems like she's not interested in playing with that topic. that's okay. "here." she carefully forks the pickles off her burger and slips them onto rachel's takeout box. "never been a fan, but that just means more for you, right?" another sip of soda adds a pause. "how do you stay so confident all the time?" she tries again. "you seem so... comfortable in your own skin. have you always been like that?"

( this is basically just a very self indulgent list of various fluff, angst, and suggestive themed dialogue sentence starters. )

❛ i could keep you safe. they’re all afraid of me. ❜

❛ i’m trying to fix your hair, so hold still. ❜

❛ your heart is beating so fast right now. ❜

❛ promise me you’ll still be here when i wake up. ❜

❛ you’re not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜

❛ i thought you’d like some company. ❜ 

❛ clean yourself up. you're getting blood all over the place. ❜

❛ here, give this a try and tell me what you think. ❜

❛ you can kiss me, you know. ❜

❛ come back to bed. ❜

❛ you look good like this. ❜

❛ working together again, it’s just like old times. ❜

❛ how is it you always know what i need, huh? ❜

❛ you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. ❜ 

❛ i can’t imagine losing someone like that. i’m sorry. ❜

❛ you know you can always talk to me. ❜

❛ the only one who gets to kill you, is me. ❜

❛ so, what do i owe this pleasure? ❜

❛ ah, so you aren’t heartless after all. ❜

❛ may i have this dance? ❜ 

❛ it’s okay, you can touch me. i won't break. ❜

❛ enemies make the best lovers, you know. ❜

❛ hold still. this might sting a little. ❜

❛ we can't keep doing this. ❜ 

❛ you look like you've got something to say. ❜

❛ just relax and let me take care of you. ❜

❛ thought you’d be lighter without all that blood. ❜

❛ i had it under control. you didn’t need to do that. ❜

❛ everything looks so beautiful from up here. ❜

❛ you treat all your ladies like this? ❜

❛ well? how do i look? ❜

❛ can’t sleep? ❜

❛ do you mind if i smoke? ❜

❛ i’m scared of ending up alone. ❜

❛ i don’t think i’ve ever seen you smile. ❜

❛ how long has it been since you've slept? ❜

❛ you are losing my interest, and that’s very dangerous. ❜

❛ i’d suffer hell if you’d tell me what you’d do to me tonight. ❜

❛ you look really pretty right now. ❜

❛ i’ve never cared for anyone the way i care for you. ❜

❛ i’m not wearing any underwear. thought you’d like to know. ❜

❛ just a few more stitches and you’ll be as good as new. ❜

❛ i’d say we make a pretty good team. ❜

❛ i want you to forget this ever happened. ❜

❛ i'm here for business — not pleasure. ❜

❛ if i didn't know any better, i'd say you were jealous. ❜

❛ you'd look better down on your knees. ❜

❛ fine, keep acting like you hate me. ❜

❛ kiss me again. ❜

❛ are you asking me out on a date? ❜

❛ just sit there and look pretty and let me handle this. ❜

❛ you okay? caught you staring off into space again. ❜

❛ well, i do feel better now that you're here. ❜

❛ i'm not drunk enough for this. ❜ 

❛ why is it whenever we see each other, you’re covered in blood? ❜

❛ i was wrong about you. ❜ 

❛ the first time i met you, i had no idea you'd mean this much. ❜

❛ you gonna be a good girl / boy for me? ❜

❛ i’m not afraid of you. ❜

❛ books mean more to me than people anyway. ❜

❛ i just wanted to say thank you for protecting me. ❜

❛ how about a kiss goodnight? ❜

❛ i don’t have time for distractions right now. ❜

❛ you shouldn’t be out here by yourself. ❜ 

❛ if i have to think about one more thing today, my head will explode. ❜

PATRICK BATEMAN: last night didn't mean anything. you know that, right? @americanedpsycho

IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME STORY... a multitude of drinks turn into a night of feverish entanglements and the morning after always shorter than the one before. never stay put in one place for too long. it's a sentiment that rachel herself recognizes, and has learned to live with. attachments aren't really safe in her line of business anyway. “  yea, yea, yea. i gotchu', big shot.  ” she's been on the receiving end of every line in the book. can't be seen with the likes of you, the most common one ( although they usually don't mind at night ). rachel scooted to the edge of the bed and bent over to grab her clothing from the floor, then began to dress. “  well ... yer' got my number if you should be up for another meaningless night some other time.  ”

[throwsdiamonds]

EMILY KELSO: i don’t pity you, like at all. i wish i was like you. @satellitewar

“  THERE'S LOADS OTHER GALS OUT THERE YOU SHOULD ENVY MORE THAN ME.  ” envy or not, it wasn't far from rachel to figure out why. she's always marched to the beat of her own drum; growing up with only brothers, one had to figure out how to take care of themselves. rachel dips a fry into the small cup of ketchup before hungrily devouring it whole — what an awesome idea it'd been to grab some take - out on the way to emily's place. “  but i guess i do have some good things going fer' me ? like these insane fries,  ” so evident that was trying to deflect the situation from herself, rachel had her own issues she'd never wish on anybody. “  hey, are you not gonna eat your pickles ?  ”

rach really said, u aint friendzoning me

[throwsdiamonds]

woke up and told myself, today i'm gonna rearrange my whole pinterest

[throwsdiamonds]

SHE DOESN'T HESITATE TO ENTER ONCE INVITED, EVEN MOVING DEEPER IN TO DUMP THE BAGS ON HIS COUCH TABLE. rachel shrugs off her already unbuttoned jacket and hangs it on the arm rest, only to turn to face steve and feign an offended look. “ what d'ya take me for, a criminal? ” corner of her pinkish lips eventually pull into a smirk as well. it wasn't a completely ridiculous question, but he also knew she was one for theatrics. “  of course i paid for it, gotta support small businesses, right? i got the receipt if you really wanna see it,  ” she raises a brow at him, though it wasn't long before she moved to sit and make herself at home, beginning to unload the contents of the brown take out bags.

rach shows up at steve’s doorstep with take out.

the door ringing isn't usually a great sign. it tended to mean something was awry, a problem rising that only he could come to solve. that is, when he didn't order anything. sometimes the door ringing just meant pizza or something equally as junky. regardless, it was never both. so imagine his surprise when he opens the door expecting the latter and gets the third, more sinister ( and much pinker ) option.

" ... rachel. " second time he says her name like that this week. was starting to become a habit, much like his slightly dumbfounded face. steve blinks, looking at what she's got in hands. harmless, hopefully. " i'm guessin' you wanna come in? " the corners of his mouth pull into a smirk on their own accord, and he finds himself opening up the way so she can enter the apartment. soon as she steps in, he frowns. " you paid for the food, right? i'm a regular at that place. "

[throwsdiamonds]

but... pants are so restricting, steve...
