They way y’all cape for these black celebrities is sickening
You got black women dying from domestic violence left and right and no one says a thing but when it comes your fave who’s a rapper y’all all of a sudden wanna say something
✨Sickening!😜✨
I love when you anons try to come for me and the rest of the "y'all" with the most doltish, chronically online ideologies thinking that you'll get a "gotcha!" by screaming half-thought-out attempts in the box. It's about sad cuz it's like y'all think imma get mad as if mad isn't my default setting. No actually, I'll change. Imma say this with true kindness and love: Kolangyet manman'w twa fwa epi mete tèt ou ak bounda kaka'w nan difé paske ou renmen bagay pi cho 💙😘 idk who "no one" is but I think this is the wrong set of blogs, fwen. Must've been a different person you're referring to 😊
"Cape for these black celebrities" as I bash black celebrities who are bashing black celebrities. Aight. You bring up the women dying from DV like a cover from the fact that we're also talking about a woman experiencing forms of assault. Sounding real weirdo how you wanna ignore anything else discussed on this blog concerning similar topics but wanted to jump only on this one. Specifically. Again, as if I have anything further to prove to you the efforts I put in for DV survivors AND those killed; moreover, as if I am required to always juggle 23 subtopics of an umbrella topic every time I speak about something. Hmm. Funny.
Also, how about you follow @/ablackwomansurvivingrape and go spend time learning things instead of playing keyboard warrior with your asshole? Go spend time helping DV survivors and connecting to resources to provide aid in your area aaand doing works for those affects by deaths—things that I do or have done—instead of sending totally wrong and definitely charged messages to strangers on an app.
I should turn off anon so y'all could come through full usernames and all since it seems y'all real scared to be loud with your chest. But it's okay. Stay that way. You'll always be afraid of me and what I stand for anyway if you gotta say all that with your eyes close in secret. You're a fan. Do what you should be doing and cool it.

Kathleen and Steve went out to the gym where Rumlow and Rollins were training, when Jack noticed her presence, he immediately told Rumlow, and the latter went and hugged her.
“Ughh Brock let go of me, you're all sweaty," Kathleen scolded.
“On missions, you can't get fussy, Anzai," Jack interjected causing her to roll her eyes.
“Kathy, what are you doing here, if you never come to the gym," said Brock as he let her go when he noticed that she tried to push him with her hands, at that moment he noticed Steve's presence. What is he doing here? “he asked in a whisper to her while he looked at the super soldier in annoyance.
“It was just what I was going to tell you, I need you to assemble your team to introduce them, the Director has said that they will have missions together... where Captain Rogers is going to lead some... .” she stopped when she saw Brock's annoyed face” if you don't believe me come back to ask and you better get along because I don't think you want Fury to put you behind a desk “she commented as if it was the most obvious thing.
“I'll assemble the team, in ten we'll all be here," he mumbled and went out to call the rest of the team together with Jack.
“I think he got upset, he was always in charge," he said to Steve.
Tumblr media
During the presentation the team seemed upset, maybe they didn't show it openly, but the thoughts Kathleen heard showed their displeasure. After the team left, only Brock, Jack, Kath and Steve remained in the gym.
“I need to know the new member's skills, Kitty, what do you think we do a demonstration? “Rumlow suggested.
“I pass, you can fight directly against the Captain because we both know that I am not very strong and that you will let me win, besides I don't think that Captain Rogers will mind showing you his skills," said Kath, in fact, she didn't like to train with Brock because he never fought seriously with her, when he asked her the reason he told her that it was because he didn't want to hurt her.
“She is right," Rollins commented and she saw him surprised, she had never agreed with him before.
“I've already seen him in battle, he's good, besides I use my powers more than a melee," said Kath, while the other two got into the ring.
The first one to attack was Rumlow, he threw a punch, but the other one dodged it, so he proceeded to hit him with his knee in the side, every thing Steve did only made Brock angrier.
Rumlow made a key to the super soldier who escaped by punching him in the stomach, they continued fighting until Steve kicked him out of the ring, and Brock fell on top of Kathleen, everything was so fast that he didn't even give time to react to her when he realized she was already on the floor with his friend on top when Steve saw what he had caused he immediately went to see if she was okay.
“Kath, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, are you okay? “ he asked.
“Yes, but Brock, get off, you're too heavy," she replied as she tried to get him off of her.
Rollins helped the Commander up when an overly tall man entered the gym, Kathleen immediately got up to greet him, Steve remembered seeing him but wasn't sure where.
“ Who is he? “asked the Captain.
“Kitty's dad," answered Rumlow reluctantly, wiping the blood from his lip to go greet his mentor, he had hit his face on the floor when he was thrown.
“ Are you going to go say hello to your father-in-law? After you were all over his daughter and it was probably your only chance," Rollins sneered and Brock gave him an obscene wave.
“ What day do you have off? “the agent whispered to his daughter.
“The weekend, but if no one must know that then Thursday afternoon, I can get away from Brock's training, I don't think he'll mind, why? “ questioned she.
“Hank asked me for help, he needs to know things about someone and with your powers, he will be able to, so I'll see you on Thursday," she told him, he turned to see that three people were approaching, internally he was glad to be able to communicate with his daughter in another language, this way he was sure that they would not understand the plans or discover anything.
“Steve, this is my dad, agent Nozomu Suzuki, daddy, well I think you already know Capsicle, I mean Steve... Ahh, whatever.
The agent stretched his hand to greet the Captain, the latter had already remembered where he had seen him, in her pictures, but in person, the agent looked very imposing and unfriendly.
“Sir," Brock and Jack greeted in unison.
“Rumlow, Rollins," the agent replied. Rumlow, are you training the agent? “he raised an eyebrow.
“No, sir, Captain Rogers has joined the team and we were doing a test," replied the Commander.
“I'll see you later," Nozomu nodded and then left the gym.
Tumblr media
Steve and Kathleen were watching a movie, Rogers had a lot of questions, but didn't dare say them.
“ What's the matter? The noise of your mind doesn't let me concentrate on the movie “commented she.
“I have some doubts," he answered nervously, she turned to see him, and he took out the file, "Why is your father's last name different from yours? “she asked.
“Ah... that, what happened was that when my mom was pregnant they had an attack, my parents fought, they separated for a few months, in this country my mom registered me with her last name after I was born they returned and well, it was very complicated to change the last name," explained Kath, although of course, she was only telling him the official version, Steve saw her surprised, the Council had put the doubt in his mind when they questioned him.
“ Why does Fury want him to live alone? “That doubt had been gnawing at him since he had heard that he would have his own apartment.
“That was always his plan until I made him see that first, you would have to adapt, it's one more benefit we have working there, but don't worry you can come whenever you want," she assured him with a smile and he nodded, "By the way, I almost forgot, your girlfriend Beth sent you a thank you message," he was going to take advantage of it to get even.
“I don't have a girlfriend, I don't know what you're talking about," he said innocently, she showed him the video where the waitress thanked Captain America for saving her during the attack in New York.
Steve was perplexed without knowing what to say and began to try to justify what was happening, he never believed that the waitress had misunderstood any of the occasions he had gone to that cafeteria.
Although Kath hadn't said anything about the feelings she once had for Brock either, she looked up when she felt she was being watched and saw that it was Nico, Kath gave her a look that meant she wouldn't dare say anything.

BAKU STANS UNITE!! ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
KH, omg yesssss fr fr on the baku comfort wav cuz not me tearing up and getting emotional just thinking about it again 😭 you would be the GOAT for that not that you aren't already and truly not all heroes wear capes lmao although somehow I imagine that you've probably donned one from time to time cuz who hasn't amirite lol🦸🦹
And just ahhh I have so many questions and I hear the manga is ending soon too and it's making me anxious about what all is gonna happen like would you say you're happy with how things have been progressing? 😬
B/AKU STANS ASSEMBLE LIKE THE MF AVENGERS 😤😤
nuuu don't cry nonny ;3; im really glad the comforts haven't been flopping cuz I really wanted them to be a normal thing even if they are on the rare side xux
As for the ending-
M/HA MANGA SPOILERS
I do think it was a pretty solid ending, like 7 out of 10. I know a lotta people absolutely hated it, but it's an ending I can totally live with (and make wavs with too cuz UA teacher I/zuku being around lots of teens in a school environment? He's begging to get sick at some point and sick teacher I/zuku sounds like an awesome wav idea even tho I couldn't do it cuz spoilers 😭)
But like, I/zuku being a teacher at UA fits so well for him considering what he's experienced and passing that onto the next generation is an excellent idea, and the fact that K/atsuki and the others raised money to get him his own hero suit so he can chase his dream again???? Omg

The Battle
No one had seen Peter staggering through the portal. For what they were walking into, Peter could only guess that whoever was on the other side of things was focussing more on the masses and not on some kid from Queens in a spider-suit.
His eyes widened as he tried to take in the destruction before him. Dr. Strange had said that it had been five years and that they all had to go fight; that this was a battle for the very universe.
Peter had almost thought he was joking-- and then he saw this.
The sky was grey with smoke and fires still burned in the rubble that had once been the compound. Peter was sure he recognized the Asgardian symbol still etched into the grass next to what was left of the long drive that wound its way up to the now decimated building. The labs, the training rooms—his bedroom for all those weekends with Mr. Stark… everything was gone. 
He choked back his panic.  
Peter had tried to explain to the wizard what was happening before they’d even left Titan, but the abrupt, “Not now, Peter. We have to go,” followed by their arrival? Yeah, he’d never gotten the chance.
And now? 
Now he was going to die. He was certain of it.
A wave of nausea washed over him and Peter tried not to visibly hunch over from the pain of his body cramping. Beads of sweat dotted his brow and he’d only walked a matter of feet-- granted, it was from one planet to another, but those portals were closed now and that wasn’t the point. It was happening to him again, and someone needed to know that he couldn’t use his—  
“AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!” 
The hush that had fallen upon their arrival was broken by Captain America’s battle cry, and the multitude of people, aliens, and allies were suddenly surging forward in an attack like nothing Peter could ever have imagined.
He did his best to keep up. Peter was an Avenger too, after all, though he wasn’t quite sure how effective he’d be with the asthma that was now acting up with vengeance. Already he was sure it would kill him before any of Thanos’s minions could.
He felt his muscles straining—maybe even rippling as he pushed himself onward, weaving through the clusters of fighting, trying to find some way to help. A tripping up here or the retrieval of a weapon there was all he could manage but he was grateful that he could at least do that.
He paused, doubled over and trying to catch his breath. He tried squinting through the chaos as he gasped-- hoped he’d see Iron Man red through the insanity—and then he did! 
Iron Man was there, firing repulsor blast after repulsor blast at the enemy and for a brief second, Peter was reminded of why Mr. Stark was his favourite Avenger. Then a mammoth of an alien came up from behind, throwing his mentor to the ground and preparing to strike him down.    
Peter moved without a thought. He ignored the ache in his lungs and the pain that was amplifying through his body again as he threw his arm out and thwipped at the creature’s ankles. Peter jerked at the taut webbing with everything he could muster to no avail. He was too weak. His only hope had been...
It took a step closer, lifting its weapon to aim and then... well, it tried.
Even with the explosions and blasts around them, Peter could feel the earth beneath him shudder at the impact of its body falling to the ground and he struggled to stay upright. It looked at the bindings around its ankles, seemingly confused by what could have confined it... not that it mattered.  The big-small guy from Berlin was suddenly stepping over him and crushing their enemy.
If he hadn’t been so shocked by how that had played out, it might have been one of the coolest things Peter had ever seen.
He took a second to take in the scene, the people around him, and then Mr. Stark. Air not moving through lungs right be damned, there he was, and Peter could finally get the help that he needed. “Hey! Holy cow! You will not believe what’s going on,” He paused to try and catch his breath. “You remember when we were in space? And I got all dusty? Well,” he fought to hide the wheeze. “I woke up and you were gone but Dr. Strange was there, right?” Peter’s head was spinning, but he needed to get all of this out so that Mr. Stark understood. “He was like, it’s been five years. C’mon, they need us and he started doing the yellow sparkling thing he does all the time and, oh.” Mr. Stark rushed forward and grasped his shoulders. “What are you doing?” He didn’t understand.
And his mentor, the man he’d secretly thought of as a father-figure for months—or was it really years?—pulled him into a hug.
“Oh, this is nice.” Peter melted in the embrace, feeling safer than he could remember in a long time.  
Their reunion didn’t last long enough. Peter pulled back a little and opened his mouth to tell Mr. Stark what was going on when the battle encroached again and the two were separated.
It was a blur.  Mr. Stark went left and Peter went right—he’d lost sight of the Iron Man suit within seconds, and still no one knew. And then, if things hadn’t already been crazy enough, the Black Panther and that Squidward guy were in a battle for that damned gauntlet... and Peter was there in the thick of it.
Searing pain shot through his legs and spine so he crouched down, trying to relieve even a fraction of it, then the ground rose up beneath him. He’d barely managed to keep his balance when the Black Panther tossed the gauntlet at Peter directly and continued on with his fight.
He couldn’t hide the shock on his face. He’d caught it and even managed to keep hold of it while the earth below him dropped, leaving him winded and spread eagle on the ground. “Aw, shit,” he coughed out as he tried to catch his breath again. He just couldn’t catch a break.
And then he noticed the silence, again.
Every eye was on him.
In a burst of genius, Peter webbed the gauntlet to his chest and shouted out, “Activate Instant Kill!” Karen complied and within a blink, his red-lensed mask was back in place and six vibranium legs extended from their hiding place. Peter uttered thanks for Mr. Stark and his ability to create something so ridiculously intuitive. The legs brought him back up to standing, but he staggered as he tried to find his footing. The suit had been incredible to use on Titan, but that was before his powers had—
The crowd of enemies swarmed.
He hadn’t moved quickly enough. His reflexes were fighting with his new limitations, leaving him with exactly zero ability to fight back against the dogpile currently punching and kicking on top of him. He felt a couple of his ribs break and he collapsed from the sheer weight on top of him as he curled around their prize. It hurt so much more for his body’s rebellion. His six legs slashed and stabbed at his attackers giving him a hell’s chance of trying to claw his way out. “Help.” Peter choked out, “Somebody help.”
He could barely hear Captain America over his comms, “Hey, Queens! Heads up!” Like a man drowning at sea, he raised his hand up above the fray and webbed hold of Thor’s hammer handle as it flew past.
He couldn’t be sure if he heard or felt the pop of his shoulder dislocating as the hammer’s momentum pulled him from the fray. All he knew was that it hurt like nothing he’d ever experienced in his life. It took everything he had left—and it didn’t feel like much—to not release. Instead, Peter grabbed onto his web with his good hand, brushed against the gauntlet still attached to him, and prayed that his strength would hold long enough to get him far enough away.
A blast from a ship overhead messed that plan up right away as it sliced through the webbing and he plummeted to the ground. He was sure he was going to die in that very moment and closed his eyes, bracing himself for an impact that never came. Someone in an Iron Man-like suit caught him by his dislocated arm and flung Peter back up into the air.
He was sure he’d screamed, even as his vision whited out from the pain, and he was sure he was airborne, even as his head had barely cleared and the wind whipped past him. That he’d landed on something that was rising and dropping in a rhythm unlike anything he could place was confusing, even as his mind began to muddle—though he thought that might be because of the fever.
Dammit! The fever had been the worst last time.
He worked to focus on his surroundings—couldn’t, and then he was falling again.
No one caught him this time.
He came to with a start and a laser focus. The earth around him was exploding and it didn’t matter that he couldn’t breathe and he couldn’t see and that his muscles were screaming out in agony and that his nerves were on fire and that he was so damned hot—all that mattered was that he do his part, ‘cuz Spider-Man was an Avenger. He couldn’t move though, it was too much for all of the weapon fire, save for closing his eyes, curling himself protectively around that damned gauntlet and waiting for the end.
Please, let this end.
And then it did.
If Peter had known to open his eyes, he’d have seen a bright light streaking through the clouds and then cut straight through the ship that had been raining down hellfire, even with his poor vision. He’d have seen the ship darken and then tilt, even as it floated above the battlefield, then crash into the hoards of Thanos’s alien soldiers, decimating their numbers. He’d have seen the streak of light slow, and then descend to exactly where he lay.
But he kept his eyes closed, hoped it would make him invisible...
Someone tapped on his shoulder.
He gasped at the shock of the touch and his eyes flew open, though he had to blink a few times to clear his vision. The dirt and dust were still settling and the grit was irritating his eyes something awful. But then he could see—crouching on the ground before him, a woman, all glow and smile.
He could have wept with relief. An ally.
He staggered as he climbed to his feet. Black spots danced before his eyes, but he fought against them, tried to take a deep breath, and then fought again the pain of his transformation and battle injuries. “Hi,” he rasped out. “Peter Parker.”
Her smile disappeared and her brow furrowed in concern. “Hey, Peter Parker. You got something for me?”
His ears started ringing then, and the earth tipped just a little to the left. He couldn’t understand, “What?”
He thought she was looking at him a little weird, which was okay, ‘cuz Peter was a little weird, but then she stepped towards him, cautious. “Peter? Can I have the gauntlet now?”
His eyelids fluttered and he could see the blackness edging in at the corner of his vision, but he knew he had to fight it. She needed something from him and it was... was...
“Peter?”
He swayed.
“Peter, I’m gonna lay you down, buddy. Okay?”
He nodded dumbly.
She placed a hand on his good shoulder for comfort, he thought, but then she was laying him down in the dirt.”
“Stark!” He heard her bark out to no one. “Something’s wrong with your kid. Get to my position now!”
He closed his eyes as the woman stood up and starting firing at something over wherever because it didn’t matter anymore. He was just gonna rest for a minute and closed his eyes and—his head lolled to the side.
“Peter!” A hand tapped against his cheek. “This is not the time for checkin’ out, kiddo. Wakey, wakey!” The hand tapped again.
“Stark, I need to get the gauntlet over to the quantum tunnel.” Weapons fire blasted over him. “Is there any way you can get that thing off of him for me?”  More blasting. “I didn’t want to damage him or the suit anymore, in case...”
The tapping turned to light slaps and Peter tried to swat it away. “Nghhh.” He turned his head away.
“Hey! Peter! C’mon, kid. I need you to listen to me.”
Mr. Stark?
“We need you to switch your web settings to the solvent. I don’t know if it’s your suit or mine, but a suit is damaged and FRIDAY can’t connect to get Karen to make the switch.” He slapped again. “Pete, we need the gauntlet and can’t get it off without burning you. Are you hearing me?”
More shots and then an explosion off in the distance.
Mr. Stark muttered a “shit.” The slaps started to hurt. “We gotta do this now, kiddo. Please wake up.”
It was like he was just waiting for someone to ask nicely. His eyes widened and he gulped in air like he’d been underwater. He looked around, trying to get his bearings. “Wha’s goin’ on?” He asked, using the last of that breath.
“Thank goodness! Pete, your web solvent. Activate it. We need to get the gauntlet off of you and away, okay? Can you do that, buddy?”
Peter looked at Mr. Stark, who’d definitely been hurt since they’d last seen each other, and then at the woman standing as protector over them. He thought he understood, nodded a yes to Mr. Stark, and then whispered, “Karen, web solvent.” He knew that the change had happened. Karen never let him down—and then he moved his arm to spray and release... or tried.
Mr. Stark saw what he was doing and saw what the problem was right away. “Kid, the shooter’s damaged. You’ll need to use your other...” Mr. Stark must’ve finally noticed his other arm—and the obvious malformation at Peter’s still dislocated shoulder. “Oh. Shit.”
Even for the everything going on inside of and around him, Peter’s brain cleared enough to mutter, “Just move it and double tap.”
Another explosion, this one closer than the last one, went off and the woman looked at Mr. Stark, announced that she’d be right back, and flew off into the chaos.
It was just the two of them.
Mr. Stark looked lost as he shook his head. “I don’t want to hurt you, kid, but we don’t have time...” He gripped Peter’s limp arm and closed his eyes, like he was praying. “I’m so sorry for this.”
“I’s okay, Mr. Stark,” he coughed out. “Fix it later, ‘kay?”
Mr. Stark teared up a little, then nodded. “Yeah, kid. We’ll definitely be fixing this.” He lifted Peter’s arm and manoeuvred it so he could access the webshooters. He looked back into Peter’s eyes and said, “I’ll be quick.”
And with a nod from Peter, Mr. Stark pressed down on the webshooter and covered the gauntlet—finally releasing it from its webbed confines.
The world spun as Peter grunted through the pain of having his arm manipulated. The grunting led to coughing and, as Tony lifted the gauntlet off of Peter’s chest, the coughing became uncontrollable and turned into choking.
“Is he okay?”
The woman had returned.
“I’ve got him. Just deal with that,” Mr. Stark commanded as he handed her the gauntlet and the woman flew off.
If Peter never saw it again...
He suddenly gagged as he struggled to find a rhythm, but he couldn’t. The gagging turned to dry heaving and he could barely inhale. Peter started to panic.
Mr. Stark was right beside, but moved—shifting Peter onto his side and ignoring the lighting pain in his arm altogether as he moved him into the recovery position.
His throat tightened and then his body purged. Bile and Titan’s dust filled his throat and mouth as he tried to expel it, but he was so weak and so tired...
A hand slammed against his back, “Get it out, Peter. C’mon! Out!”
It helped, as he tried to empty himself of that other planet, and Peter thought that maybe he’d be okay until—
Muscles rippled once more and his entire body burned from the inside, out. His senses amplified it all as he could hear everything from the cries of people dying on the battlefield to crackling of flames still not burned out. Beyond the vomit and Mr. Stark’s blood, the smell of dust and ash filled his nose and he choked again as the wind sandblasted his face.
He tried to cry out.
Mr. Stark pressed firm against his back, “I’ve got you, Peter. I’m here.” He whispered, and he leaned over the boy to sweep the vomit from his mouth. “We’ll fix this, kid. I promise.”
And Peter was just grateful that he wasn’t going to die alone.  
The fight was dizzying in its intensity, so he closed his eyes to the onslaught of visual stimuli. His timing was impeccable, as a flash of light bright enough to burn through Peter’s eyelids burst out from somewhere—Peter couldn’t focus on it for the pain of the overload. He writhed as though tortured.
And then the wind caught again—this time it carried with it a different ash, one he’d smelled on Titan and that he couldn’t bear to smell again. He clawed at the ground, tried to get away from the inevitable... tried to get away from the hurt and darkness and moaning and wailing and emptiness...
And then Peter finally succumbed to the nothing.
* * * * * *
“—eter! Wake up! C’mon, ki—“
* * * * * *
“—incredible! His DNA is literally rewriting its—“
* * * * * *
“The overload must have been just—“
* * * * * *
“Hey, Peter Parker, you’re pretty badass considering—“
* * * * * *
“—on his side! Bruce, grab the compresses again, now! Dammit, he’s seiz—“
* * * * * *
“—May. I know. I wish you could be here, too, but as soon as he wakes up we’ll give you a call and set up a video chat, okay?” A pause. “Yes, May, I’ll tell him that you love him.” A snort laugh. “Yes, May. I’ll give him a big kiss and tell him that he’s grounded.” Another pause. “I know, May. Do you need anything? I can have—“
* * * * * *
“—eter? Hey, kid, are you coming back to us now? I’ve waited a long time to see you, bud, and you’re making me nuts here. I can’t do another five, ‘kay?”
* * * * * *
“—don’t wake him up, Pepper. I’m telling you. Dr. Cho did some tests and it looks like he’s coming back to us. We just need him to—I don’t know? Finish cooking?”
Ms. Potts snorted. “Cute, Tony. I’m just worried that you aren’t getting the rest that you need and with everything going on now—“
“Hey, hey, hey! You know you don’t need to worry about me. I’m fine—and tired is like a perpetual state of being for me—even now that I’ve been domesticated.”
Mr. Stark and Ms. Potts laughed quietly, and then Peter was sure he could hear the sound of kissing. He groaned. Seriously? He was dying and his mentor was making out with his fiancée?
“Peter?”
He inhaled deep, trying to wake up a little more before answering, and noticed the mask on his face. He tried to bring his hand up to remove it but it caught on a—a sling? “Wha-?”
A hand pressed his arm back to his chest and adjusted the mask. “Try to be still. And no touching that, too, Pete. Dr. Cho says you need this for a little bit longer, okay?”
“Mis-er Stark?” He finally managed to open his eyes and tried to understand the monitors and equipment in the low-lit room. “Wha’ happened?” He pushed out.
“We had another go at Thanos, Roo, and this time, we won.” Mr. Stark replied, but he looked so sad—
“Mis-er Stark?” Peter remembered the battle, remembered seeing Mr. Stark bruised and bleeding. “Are you o—“ Peter’s words cut off as a jolt of pain lanced through legs and he almost cried out. He caught himself though, and tried to keep going.
Mr. Stark stopped him. “Hey, I’m okay—just worried about you right now.” He ran his fingers through Peter’s hair, pressed his hand against his still fevered forehead, “I am so sorry that you have to go through this again, Spider-Man.”
Peter didn’t know what to say to that, so he shrugged, wincing as he jostled his still bad shoulder. “It’s okay.” He mumbled. “Couldn’t be helped...”
Mr. Stark’s sadness morphed to tortured. “No, I guess it couldn’t...  I’m still so sorry.”
Peter could feel the exhaustion trying to claim him again, but he was missing something. “Uhhh- is somethin’ else goin’ on?” He looked between Mr. Stark and Ms. Potts, who had stepped back a few steps to give the two heroes a moment alone.
“Everything is fine, Peter.” Ms. Potts piped in, looking far less melancholy than Mr. Stark. “Tony is just upset that you’re having such a rough time of it, but all’s right in the end and...” she looked at her watch as she dragged out her answer then looked at Mr. Stark, “I believe we’ve probably delayed telling Dr. Cho that you’re awake long enough, so if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to inform one of the nurses.” She smiled at the boy in the bed, rubbed at his calf affectionately as she walked by the bed, and then stepped out of the room.
It was getting difficult to keep his eyes open. “Mis-er Stark?”
The man leaned forward and pressed a tender, paternal kiss to Peter’s forehead. “Why don’t you rest for now, sweetheart. I’ll tell Dr. Cho that you fell back to sleep and we’ll talk when you’re more awake, okay?”
The smile Peter offered up was kind of goofy. “Okay—but...” Peter looked around the room. “Can you stay with me?”
Mr. Stark knew how much Peter hated the med bay— always stayed, “You know I will, Petey. I’ll always be there for you.”
Peter muttered a quick, “Thanks,” and closed his eyes.
If he’d been more alert, he would have noted the underlying tone that Mr. Stark had used... would have realized that the man was making a promise bigger than an evening.
But he didn’t, and it didn’t take long for the boy to give in to his exhaustion. He’d slept through the last stretch of his transformation the first time—and this time seemed no different, save for the injuries he’d suffered, and even they’d heal soon enough.
And as he slept, he missed the prayer that Mr. Stark offered to whatever deity would listen—that Peter would know just how much he meant it. He would be there for him, no matter what.

I'm dead mando episode killed me (would love to hear your thoughts on it from my grave)
I am dead with you IT WAS SO GOOD AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT.  My sister and I were literally bouncing on the couch and screaming at the tv.
Okay this is what I have wanted THE ENTIRE TIME.  Din & Baby bonding time, plot stuff is centered around Din & the baby, cameos are super cool but don’t overwhelm Din being the main character, preestablished characters unique to the show being used.  This.  Not Filoni making Yet Another Version Of His TCW Stuff.
The opening scene of Din and Baby was PRECIOUS.  They’re both clearly so reluctant to do this but Din has Promised and more importantly, he wants to do what’s best for his kid even if it means separating from him.  Prioritizing someone else’s needs over your wants is true love HE’S SUCH A GOOD DAD
Din being such a fucking dumbass in this episode damn.  Din ilu but where is your jetpack???  Why did you try to get through the Force barrier the exact same way THREE TIMES when you knew it wouldn’t work and after it had knocked you unconscious???
Protective Din fuck yeah
I’m actually thrilled with the kidnapping because it’s RAMPAGE TIME YAY
WHEN SLAVE I APPEARED MY SISTER AND I WERE SCREAMING
Cuz you know who it is and there was The Suspense!!! over whether they were working for Gideon or would they truly ally with Din
HOLY SHIT BOBA FETT BOBA FETT BOBA FETTTTTTTTTT
Although I was also laughing bc I’m pretty sure this is the first time we’ve ever seen him actually be a badass onscreen instead of just standing around looking cool
Yes I know he did more in Legends/EU content and probably in the 3D TCW but I’d never been interested in either of those or him as a character before, but okay NOW I see why people are into him
("Boba Fett?  Boba Fett?  WHERE” is still my favorite Boba moment tho, and a top favorite Han moment)
“I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe” AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
NO ONE EVER WANTS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AOTC EXCEPT TO MAKE SAND JOKES BUT FINALLY, FINALLY AOTC IS BACK AND AS A PERSON WHO UNAPOLOGETICALLY LOVES AOTC I AM SO HAPPY
Also Jango has always been my favorite Fett so I was LIVING for him being acknowledged and especially by Boba
Fucking howling at Din apparently feeling he is the only person in the entire galaxy who can decide Who Gets Beskar
Like the SHEER GALL from a meta perspective of looking at Boba Fett, the Orignial Mandalorian of all of Star Wars, and saying “Yeah I’m not sure if you should have that armor”
Like Din will happily be chill with anyone he meets who doesn’t immediately kill him but if you have Mandalorian armor you need to bring out your receipts immediately lmao
This is what I wanted with other Mandalorian characters coming in though.  Contrasting and comparing others’ Mandalorian cultures/sects/whatever with his and Din having to reexamine his own beliefs with it.  With Bo-Katan we got like two lines about it but here it’s A Thing that’s discussed, plus some Boba background, and Din comes to face his own biases and ultimately decide that yes, Boba should get the armor even if he doesn’t follow the Creed the same way Din does.  Plus the contrast between Din and Boba’s Mandalorian Experiences but also the uniting thread of Mandalorians Really Love Dads.
Anyway the Fetts are Real Mandalorians again as far as I’m concerned.  I have spoken.
Fennec Shand!!  I couldn’t believe they WASTED Mulan herself in The Gunslinger and this made me so happy!!  She’s such a badass and an excellent side character and I loved seeing her again, and it’s really cool that she and Boba teamed up?  That’s a backstory I wouldn’t mind seeing in a tie-in comic or novel or something.
As a SWTOR fan I loved seeing Tython brought to life.  Since SWTOR was 3000 years ago it makes sense there’s little left, but the stone thing was cool.  I wonder what the runes mean?  Although my sister and I were laughing over how much Tython apparently looks like California.
I know I already said it but Din getting yeeted and trying to get through the barrier three times was great
Also why tf aren’t you shouting “Grogu!” instead of just “kid” after we know Grogu likes hearing his name???
WHEN THE BABY WAS KIDNAPPED I TOTALLY DIED THE CONCEPT ART EVEN HAS HIM CRYING OH MY GOD
We all know Din was crying under his helmet for at least 50% of this episode
Gideon is SUCH a good slimy villain, so creepy and chilling (and he got STYLE), I absolutely loved his villain monologue even if it’s delivered to.....a baby.  Even if we’re getting some hints that Grogu is possibly more developed than previously indicated by his behavior, Gideon’s still delivering his Evil Speech to a toddler which is amazing
YO WOW WE NEED TO TONE DOWN THE DARK SIDE TENDENCIES THERE GROGU
Like usually he just has A Big Moment but this time he just goes buck wild with those poor troopers.  Plus we’re so used to seeing him little and innocent and cute so it was very jarring (in the best way)
Despite the seriousness of the situation I fucking lost it at the Baby Handcuffs.  Like who had to order those?  Which poor peon was ordered by Gideon CRAFT ME BABY HANDCUFFS?  Were they custom made?  They’re so tiny!!  Baby commits Baby Crimes and goes to Baby Jail
THEY SHOT THE BABY.  I DON’T CARE IF IT WAS A STUN BLAST THEY SHOT HIM
Mayfeld?????  Why?????  I really hope Din takes Cara along too.  I’m loving this Avengers Assemble thing again, although I definitely want Greef and Cara along as opposed to any of the other Guest Stars we met this season
(Frog Lady can come though, she’s cool)
Maybe Cara’s New Republic ties will help?  Not quite sure how but that’s a cool thread they could use.  Again since she’s a big secondary character on the show, and unique to the Mandalorian, she’s one I’d love to see more development with as well - what made her decide to rejoin the New Republic?  Will this cause conflict between her and Din in the future?  etc.
Like this is what I’ve been craving, it was so suspenseful and good, I cannot WAIT for what’s next!!!

Percy Jackson & The Avengers: Convergence - some badass demigod training!!
Hello, and welcome back to...my horrible explanation for being absent! Coming up on this episode, you'll see me explain that I had my first 2 lacrosse games of the season and was left with bruised ribs. If anyone ever says that women's lax isn't a real sport cuz there isn't contact, you can tell them that someone from a fanfic website said they had bruised ribs from playing.
Anyway, I hope you like this chapter. We're starting to get some actual plot movement I think so have fun with that. Honestly, I kinda forgot what happened in here so...yeah. Please comment, like, follow, and reblog! Stay safe & happy reading!
- your author
Ω ♆ Ω
Percy and Annabeth woke up to the sound of a startled shout. Frank's startled shout, to be specific. They both shot up right away, their battle instincts kicking in, but Frank had seen enough.
"Seriously guys!? Again?" he exclaimed.
"Nothing happened!" Annabeth reassured, "We just fell asleep!"
"We did kiss a little," Percy muttered, and Annabeth shot him a death glare.
"Not. Helping," she whispered scathingly.
A sense of complete déjà vu washed over Percy. Except this time, the rest of the Seven were standing in the doorway, watching on with various amused expressions on their faces.
"Oh, this is perfect. Coach Hedge is gonna love this," Leo smiled in maniacal glee.
"No, Leo," Piper ordered, "You're not going to do that. Instead, we are going to get this meeting over with so I can get some sleep."
"Aw...you ruin all my fun!" he exclaimed.
"Someone's gotta do it when Calypso isn't here," Piper said.
It was true. Calypso and Piper are probably the only ones who could actually control Leo. Calypso because of Leo's fear of losing her or just general fear of her, and Piper because of her charmspeak.
"Ok! That's enough. We're getting sidetracked. We need to start this meeting." Jason clapped his hands to get everyone's attention.
He gave Percy a meaningful look; one which said to 'take it from here.' So Percy did.
"Um, well, Annabeth and I wanted to talk to you guys about what's been going on. We need to come to an agreement on what we are allowed to say and do with the Avengers. I don't think we should show them the full extent of our powers because it seemed like those spies were looking for a reason to lock us up," he started, "And I'm not particularly fond of being put in a cell. How about you?"
"Yeah. And we need to figure out a way to deal with the bombings without them figuring us out. The mortals seemed pretty Hades-bent on releasing the big secret, and that never bodes well for people like us. I know that we need their help, but I don't trust them." Annabeth said.
"We can just say we were born with the powers, and have no idea why. I mean, it's technically true," Jason offered.
The others all nodded in agreement.
"Ok, now what about the pattern? What is it?" Piper asked.
"All of the places are big parts of the Greek and Roman world. Brooklyn Bridge is near Manhattan, the home of the Gods, Portland: Mt. St. Helens, where Typon used to be held, LA: entrance to Hades, Long Island: Camp Half-blood, and San Francisco: Camp Jupiter," Annabeth answered.
"Woah," Jason whispered, shocked.
"Yeah, but that's not our biggest concern. We also need to figure out how to hide our identities from the world while we're fighting with the Avengers," Annabeth said.
Everyone else there hadn't even thought of that. It comes in real handy to have a daughter of Athena around sometimes. Ok, not sometimes, all the time. All of them would be really dead without her quick thinking and planning.
"Um, I could try to see if the Aphrodite cabin could cook something up?" Piper suggested, "But most of them are still getting used to fighting, so they won't really know what to make. They need help with the designs."
Leo shot up from where he had slumped down into the desk chair, "I can help! Well, the Hephaestus cabin can. We can help design it so it's battle-ready."
"Good. We'll need those soon, I think. I have a feeling that we're going to have a lead soon, so we need to be ready when it comes. This is just one quest, so there is no need for people to think we're some kind of superheroes," Annabeth said.
"Aw! But I already had a name picked out!" Leo exclaimed.
He looked like he was about to let them in on his superhero name, but Annabeth held up a hand with a glare that clearly said to not speak unless he wanted to lose some very important parts of him. That kept him quiet, for sure.
"Is that all?" Frank asked, towering over them all.
"For now, yes. Remember, say the absolute minimum and stick to twisting the truth. If you reveal any new information without the others knowing, call a meeting to let us know," Annabeth confirmed, nodding her head.
"Great, now I can go back to sleep," Percy said, pulling Annabeth back down with him.
The others filed out soon after that, already hearing Percy's soft snores as they left and returned to their respective rooms. Ok, so Jason and Piper stayed in the same room like Percy and Annabeth did, but nothing happened. It was just nice to be in the arms of someone who cares about you, you know?
Ω ♆ Ω
"Up and at 'em, kiddos! It's training day!" Tony gleefully exclaimed over the speakers that Percy was absolutely sure he did not see in his room.
Percy groaned when he saw what time it was: 6:00 AM. He knew he wasn't allowed to (and that it was wrong, of course), but he wanted to kill Tony so badly in that moment. It would be quick! Nobody would suffer!
But, alas, he had to actually work with the man-child. It might not come off like it, but Percy takes war very seriously, and this was starting to feel like a war. Or at least, it would become one if they didn't stop it soon. And to do that, they needed the Avengers, apparently.
That was the only reason that he followed Annabeth in getting up and ready for the day. He took a little longer than Annabeth, but at 6:30 AM, they were stepping out of his room. They saw that the others were slowly doing the same. They were all tired. There weren't any big dream incidents, but that doesn't mean that staying up until midnight and then waking up at six in the morning won't do something to you. Even Leo looked exhausted, with big puffy eyes from rubbing them in an attempt to wake himself up quicker. If Leo Valdez was tired, then you knew that it was too early for this.
Also, you have to remember that they'reteenagers. Teenagers aren't meant to be up super early- it's a scientific fact, Percy thinks. Annabeth once told him something about their melatonin not releasing until later at night, so they could stay up and sleep in later.
What? Percy pays attention to what she's saying sometimes.
"I hate Tony," Piper grumbled, practically falling asleep on Jason.
"You and us all, chica," Leo mumbled before letting out a huge yawn.
"What did he say was going on? Training?" Jason asked, looking over at Annabeth for answers because she seemed the most awake of the group.
"Yep. Training, whatever that entails. I don't know, so be prepared for anything. I really hope it has nothing to do with electronics, but knowing our luck, and how Tony has been so far, it will, so just try not to get too close," she answered.
Leo tiredly saluted her, "Yes, ma'm."
Hazel rolled her eyes, "Come on, Repair Boy."
She grabbed his arm and started leading the way towards the living room, which was their best guess at where the Avengers were.
As they were walking, they were interrupted by the disembodied voice of JARVIS, "Excuse me, but I was told to direct you to the training room, where the Avengers are currently assembled and waiting for you. Shall I proceed?"
All of the demigods were still really weirded-out by the AI, and there was no way it was ending soon. It's just a reminder that they were currently in a building basically composed entirely of technology, one of their greatest liabilities. Liabilities were a dangerous thing in their lives.
"Yes..." Percy answered hesitantly, unsure where to look.
"Then please follow the arrows projected on the ground, sir," JARVIS said.
Sure enough, there were large white arrows pointing them away from the living room, so they followed them. It was about a two minute walk to the elevators, where they were told to go to the 60th floor, which was apparently one whole training room by itself.
Ω ♆ Ω
"So let me get this straight, you guys want us to...play a video game?" Frank asked, gesturing to the giant room around them.
The Seven were quickly ushered by the Avengers into a big room with a bunch of white, padded tiles all around them as soon as they had reached the training floor. There was only a viewing window and an exit that disappeared when the door was closed. Then, Tony explained what they were going to be doing. None of them really understood it yet.
"No! I want you to fight the LMDs! The robots! They will simulate different levels of skill to evaluate your skills. Understand?" Tony punctuated each word, quickly losing any sense of patience he had started with.
"Yeah. We got it," Annabeth sighed.
Ok, she was sure she was the only one of them who realized that they were about to break one of the rules they established last night on the first day. They were about to fight robots. TECHNOLOGY.
This should go well, Annabeth thought.
Steve interrupted before Tony could make a snarky comment, "Good. We'll start with fighting separately and then together as a group. Afterwards, we'll see how you work with different weapons."
"Aye aye, Cap," Leo joked.
"Leo, focus. We're about to fight ROBOTS." Annabeth tried to get the son of Hephaestus to understand the severity of the situation. "You have a back-up plan, right?"
He could talk to machines. Robots were machines. Therefore, he should be able to get them out of this mess if anything went wrong.
He gave her a nod of understanding, and Annabeth settled back into her natural stance rather than her tense one. Well, she's always tensed for battle. At least in her natural one it's less obvious.
"Alright, who wants to go first?" Tony asked over the intercom.
"Uncle Leo will go first, right?" Percy joked, referencing to one of Leo's favorite nicknames for himself.
"Sure! I just need to know how much damage I'm allowed to do," Leo said, looking up at the Avengers.
Annabeth was shocked that he had even thought to ask that, and apparently the Avengers were, too.
"Um, just let go. There's nothing you can do to break this room. I designed it myself," Tony answered, still arrogant even through his confusion.
"Come on out, the rest of you," Natasha instructed.
Once the rest of the demigods had exited the room and stood next to the Avengers at the viewing window, Tony pressed a button on a screen that made a compartment in the walls of the room open up, revealing a row of floating LMDs.
"Now, I'm going to start you at Level 2, okay? It gets harder as you move up. The LMDs should stay the same form throughout every level, though. Ready?" Tony said.
Leo pulled his war hammer from his magical toolbelt and lit it and his arms on fire, "Ready."
Tony had to shake himself out of his shock before he pressed the start button, but when he did, every one of the mortal heroes had sat on the edge of their metaphorical seats, eager to see just how powerful these kids could be.
Plus, the kid had just pulled a giant war hammer from his normally-sized toolbelt, and then proceeded to light himself and the hammer on fire. They were bound to be curious after that display.
They knew the very basics of the young heroes' abilities, but most of that stuff was based on just what they had been told. Actual, visible proof is what they wanted.
All at once, the LMDs transformed into the Avengers minus the Hulk. Repeat, they changed into the Avengers. Leo had to fight a copy of the Avengers, alone.
Percy was freaking out inside. Sure, he trusted his friend, but Leo was a joker, and he tended to not understand how serious things were. In this case, he hoped that didn't happen.
"This should be interesting," Natasha remarked.
"No, this should be terrible. Tony, you never told me you were using this setting," Bruce said, rushing up to the other scientist, "He's just a kid."
"I think they've made it clear they aren't just kids, Jolly Green. It's fine. If they wanted to be treated like the rest of us, then they need to pass this test," Tony said.
Bruce looked like he wanted to say a lot more, but Jason stepped up to stop him, "He'll be fine, Dr. Banner. Leo may not look it, but he's powerful and he's smart. He can handle this."
Jason looked so sure of himself that it was enough to convince the doctor that it would be okay.
In truth, Jason had no idea how this program worked. There was a good chance that Leo did not, in fact, have this handled.
While this was being discussed, Leo had already started to fight the Iron Man LMD. He was currently alternating between swinging his hammer at it and firing balls of fire. The LMD had only been hit a couple of times because it kept maneuvering around the attacks by flying away.
It was getting tiresome, and Leo wanted it to be over with. So, he dropped his hammer and set a determined look on his face, glaring up at the robot.
The Seven were grinning, already figuring out what was happening, while the Avengers were just plain confused. What was the kid gonna do? Glare them to death?
Then, Leo started grinning and they knew it was all over.
He crouched down onto the ground and placed a hand on the floor, closing his eyes in concentration. The LMDs seemed to be as confused as their originals.
Three seconds passed before Leo's grin grew even more, and then he spoke a single word, "Stop."
And they did. Every single LMD lost their form and fell to the ground, limp and unmoving. Leo stood up, dusted his pants off, and turned to the viewing window to see his teammate's reactions.
They were priceless.
"That's how you do it," he said, "Am I done?"
Tony literally shook himself out of his stupor, "Yeah, sure. I need to reboot the LMDs."
When Leo came through the door, the rest of the demigods crowded him, patting him on the back and laughing at his dramatics.
"What was that?" Natasha demanded, breaking through the teens to tower over Leo's elf-like form.
Okay, maybe tower isn't the right word. She was taller than him, but not by much. Natasha was just very intimidating.
"Uh...fighting?" Leo tried.
Natasha's glare hardened, "You know that's not what I mean. What did you do to make the LMDs stop attacking?"
Leo glanced at Annabeth, who nodded in consent, "I talked to them."
"You did what?!" Tony exclaimed.
"I talked to them. They were pretty boring, to be honest, but I was able to shut them down," he answered.
Tony let out an incredulous laugh, "That's not possible! You can't just TALK to machines!"
"He can, and he did," Piper said, smiling proudly at her best friend.
"But–" Tony's voice died out.
"How come you never told us of this ability?" Natasha asked.
"You never asked," Percy answered simply, not liking her interrogatory tone at all.
The spy looked like she wanted to continue the conversation, but Clint whispered something in her ear and she stepped back with one last glare.
"Welp! That was fun! Who's next?" Tony clapped his hands.
Everyone turned to see that he had gotten the LMDs back online and back in the Avengers' form.
Piper sighed and started to walk to the door, "I guess I'll go next."
Before she could enter, Steve asked, "What weapon are you going to use? Your powers won't work on the robots."
Piper smirked at him over her shoulder before pulling Katoptris from its sheath on her thigh. Apparently, the Avengers had yet to fully break through the Mist, and they could not see her having that strapped there this entire time. But when she pulled it out, they seemed to finally be able to see it for what it truly was. It makes you wonder what they thought was there before. A ruler, maybe?
"I've got this," she stated before slipping into the training room.
Ω ♆ Ω
It was obvious Piper had been taking more lessons on dagger-fighting with Annabeth. As soon as the first person attacked, she was slashing and stabbing like crazy. Her lithe form was swisting out of the way of punches from Steve's copy, while Clint's arrows were shooting at her from behind.
Tony had clearly upped the level of difficulty after seeing what Leo could do.
Piper ducked under one of the arrows, and then shot back up to land a finishing blow to the center of LMD-Steve's chest. Then, she ripped Katoptris out of the robot and turned to throw it at Clint's copy, which just barely managed to avoid getting stabbed.
She was running on pure adrenaline now. It was best to imagine these opponents as monsters. Sure, when they actually fought humans, they would need to not kill, but these were just robots.
Cilnt's robot shot it's last arrow, and it exploded right before her face, stunning her into stillness. In that couple of seconds it took for her to recenter herself, Natasha's copy jumped onto her back for a chokehold. Piper struggled, but the LMD had been designed to know all of Natasha's known skills, and it was working. The Iron Man LMD landed and shot a stunning shot at her chest: the final straw for Piper to finally surrender.
She knew they wouldn't kill her, but she was not in the mood to be knocked-out. It left you with a massive headache.
So she tapped out.
"Ok ok, I'm done. I'm done," She panted as she was released, rubbing her neck.
Piper was not happy about having to surrender, but it seemed like the Avengers had been thoroughly impressed with her skill with such a small weapon.
"I'll do next," Annabeth declared, high-fiving Piper on her way out.
"Good luck," Piper said.
"Don't need it," Annabeth responded, pulling out her drakon-bone sword.
Out in the control room, Tony said, "Is that a bone?!"
"It's whatever you want it to be," Hazel grinned, manipulating the Mist just a bit.
"You scare me sometimes, Miss Metal Detector," Leo muttered, glancing at Annabeth's sword, which had shifted into a machete.
He wasn't sure whether to be impressed by Hazel's skill, or weirded-out by Tony's brain.
"Make sure to move to difficulty up a bit," Percy told Tony, "She'll be insulted otherwise."
The billionaire seemed to be getting used to the teens' weird ways because he didn't even flinch when he heard that, and instead moved to comply.
"And...here we go," Tony said over the intercom, "Good luck, Annie."
"My name is Annabeth!" she shouted before going into the fight.
In this level, every single one of them attacked at once. Annabeth back-bended under Steve's copy's punch, and then kicked up into LMD-Natasha's face. After, she turned and sliced the Iron Man armor on the side, just under the armpit. She had picked that as a point of weakness before she had even stepped into the building.
"She's good," Natasha relented, watching as the daughter of Athena thrusted her sword into Steve's robot foot.
Seeing that Clint's LMD copy was not going to get any closer to her, Annabeth pulled out a hidden dagger and threw it in a perfect line to hit it in the center of its forehead. Then, she turned and blocked a punch from Natasha's robot, who had recovered from the face-hit. The spy copy used the Iron Man LMD to jump up and wrap her legs around Annabeth's neck, trying to do a scissor hold, which failed because Annabeth rolled forward, slamming Natasha's head into the ground. The left a big enough dent that the LMD wasn't getting back up.
That only left Iron Man to deal with.
She settled into a fighting stance, but didn't attack, choosing to wait for her opponent to make the first blow.
Percy was grinning. This was what they needed: a good way to blow off steam without it possibly ending with one of them dead.
"What is she waiting for?" Steve asked.
"She's playing with it. It's fun for her," Jason answered, "It's Annabeth."
Finally, the robot got impatient and attacked. It sent a stun blast at her, which Annabeth quickly avoided. After, she ran up to the wall, kicked off of it, and jumped up to drag the Iron Man LMD down to the ground, where she sat down on it and landed a few punches. But she quickly realized punching wasn't doing much good.
"Judo flip! Do the judo flip!" Leo exclaimed, jumping up and down in excitement.
When it wasn't him being the one attacked by Annabeth, it was super entertaining.
Annabeth sighed, but a smile was pulling at the edges of her lips. She hauled Iron Man up, who was still recovering from being slammed down to the ground, and got a good hold on it's arm. Then, she flipped it over her shoulder with an ease that only came from years of experience.
With a huge smile on her lips, and a last glance at her carnage, Annabeth walked back out to the control room.
"How was that for a kid?" She asked Natasha.
"Not bad," she got for an answer.
Ω ♆ Ω
Jason, Hazel, and Frank's individual tests went-by pretty quickly. Jason electrocuted all of the robots, rendering them immobile.
After that, and with another new batch of LMDs, Hazel used her Spatha to slice and cut through the robots. In the end, it proved too hard for her to do it with just a sword, so she pulled a chunk of the wall out and smashed it against the LMDs until they were in many different pieces.
Frank ended up having to forfeit, but not before getting every single Avengers copy but Steve down. Steve ended up having him in a chokehold that was just too difficult to get out of. And Frank had already transformed into many animals, so he wasn't sure if he could've changed back if he had transformed again.
If it wasn't obvious, Percy was avoiding doing his turn. He was trying to stay in the corner, and out of the notice of any of the adults. However, that wasn't possible with two spies in the room. They notice everything.
"Percy? Your turn," Natasha said.
So much for that plan.
Percy hesitated, "Um...about that, I don't think I should go."
Natasha raised her eyebrows in mock-surprise, but it was actually Steve who spoke, "You have to go, son. In order to work well together, we need to know each other's strengths and weaknesses. This will never work without you doing this."
"Plus, we promise it's completely safe," Bruce added in.
Percy sighed, admitting that he wasn't going to be able to worm his way out of this one. Instead of fighting, he turned to whisper to Annabeth, "Don't let me get out of control."
Annabeth gave him a sad look, "Percy, I know you have control. I trust you. You just need to trust yourself. You would never hurt us. I know that for certain."
The Avengers were watching this interaction like hawks, but the other demigods were averting their attention. This happened sometimes, Percy and Annabeth going into their own world that only they could understand, and it was best to just let them be. Plus, privacy is a real thing people. The moment seemed almost too intimate for them to interrupt.
Percy still seemed to be having trouble believing Annabeth's statements, but he went into the training room without another protest. His shoulders were sagging in defeat, and he seemed to be folding in on himself. He was never one for attention, but that was a bit much in Leo's mind.
However, Leo and the rest of the Seven didn't have a full grasp on just how uncomfortable Percy as with using his powers now. They didn't know what happened in "that place."
"Are you ready, Percy?" Tony asked, readying the LMDs again.
"Yeah, I guess," Percy answered.
Annabeth was rocking back and forth on the balls of her feet, "Just breathe, Perce," she whispered under her breath, "You can do this."
She had to put on a brave face for her boyfriend, but she truly was terrified of Percy's potential. She had seen it first-hand in their trip underground, and it was nothing to be underestimated. The Avengers didn't know what powers they were playing with here. She only hoped that her insistent trust she was putting in Percy was going to amount to truth.
"We'll start you on Level 5? Based on what your friends can do, I think this will be a good start," Steve asked.
"Sure," Percy responded, bringing Riptide from his pocket.
"What's he going to do with a pen?" Bruce whispered to Clint.
The Seven all smiled at each other. Little did the mortals know, that pen was definitely not just a pen. It was always amusing when people saw what Riptide truly was for the first time.
"Alright. Here we go," Tony said, starting the simulation.
Percy closed his eyes, inhaled, exhaled, and popped the cap off of his pen. Opening his eyes, you could tell something had shifted in him. He was in his natural element now, and nobody could stop him from achieving his goal.
That goal just so happened to be mutilating some billionaire's robots.
"Let's have some fun," Percy said, charging the first LMD.
He was a flurry of motion. His fighting style was a mix from Greek, Roman, and modern martial arts that he had learned from Annabeth. He'd kick one adversary just to turn and thrust his sword into another one trying to attack him from behind.
"He's amazing," Bruce said in wonder, mesmerized by Percy's skill.
The son of Poseidon was relying only on his hand-to-hand and swordsmanship skills, rather than his powers, but that barely slowed him down. If the mortals wanted a display of his competence, then he would give them one.
Annabeth had a proud smile on her face as she watched Percy judo flip Natasha's robot over his shoulder and slammed it hard enough to the ground that it "died," ending his fight.
That had gone well, considering Percy's worries.
However, he knew better than to let his guard down just yet. As all demigods know, life never gives any breaks. That, and the Fates are cruel.
Ω ♆ Ω
"Ok, guys. Let's take a lunch break, and then we'll do some more training, but this time, with only abilities," Steve said.
Percy had put his sword away, and was not standing in the viewing room with the rest of the heroes, mortal and demigod alike. All of the teens looked and felt exhausted, so it was a given to take a break.
"Got it, boss," Leo saluted, turning and exiting the room, heading no doubt in the direction of the kitchen.
"I guess that means we're leaving," Percy laughed. A real, genuine laugh.
It made Annabeth smile larger than she had in a long time. Improvement is always good.
Soon, everyone was gathered around the kitchen and living room area. Percy and Leo were scavenging for food while the Avengers and the rest of the Seven talked. So far, the hunt was not going as planned.
"Tony! Are you seriously telling me you're a billionaire, and you can't afford some decent Cheerios?!" Percy yelled.
"Yeah! Who goes grocery shopping around here?" Leo exclaimed, holding up the near-empty jug of milk.
The Avengers all looked at each other in confusion, "Who DOES go grocery shopping?" Bruce asked.
"Pepper, sometimes, I think. She must've been busy this week," Tony answered, "We can just order some Chinese or something for now."
"That should work, but if you're going to house these boys," Annabeth pointed to Percy, Leo, Jason, and Frank, "You're going to need a lot more food around at all times. Their appetites could rival that of an elephant."
Hazel let out a tiny laugh, realizing Annabeth's little pun about Frank. She received a small smirk in response.
"Teenagers," Tony muttered, rolling his eyes, "Always hungry."
"Now wait a second, Tony, I remember seeing you eat an entire large pizza by yourself just a couple weeks ago," Natasha remarked, smirking at her teammate.
Tony only glared in response, and then he told JARVIS to order lunch.
"Well, while we're waiting, I'll explain what our next exercise is," Steve said, "Basically, we're going to see and document your powers, but in a more controlled environment. You won't be fighting anything, but this will be more focused on precision than quantity. We need to know your full capabilities so that we know where to put you in a fight. Is that okay?"
He was asking their permission as more of a courtesy than an actual question, obviously, but the demigods still nodded their heads in confirmation. It wasn't like they couldn't leave at any time if things ever got too out-of-control.
Or at least, that's what they told themselves. In all honesty, nobody trusted each other yet. They could be shot down by the Avengers if they tried to run away, for all they knew, and that's what the scariest thing was. Neither group really KNEW the other group's intentions, only what they had told each other.
Everyone was walking on thin ice, whether it was known to them or not.
Ω ♆ Ω
I hope you liked it! Remember, this is also on FF, Ao3, Inkitt, Webnovel, and Wattpad.

BAMFs of 2019
Here's last year’s CHAMP -
THANOS
Tumblr media
(Thanos: ”WTF did you just say?” #Mood)
Let's see if he made it back.
But, first, let’s take a look at some honorable mentions, as well as some people who were trying too hard:
Rey - 
Tumblr media
Of course she is a total BAMF. So, why isn't she on this list? 3 REASONS: 1) She looks like a racist ex that I once dated. How can someone who decided to date you (a black man) be racist? Did y'all see the movie "Get Out"? You didn't know that the story was based off one of my relationships did you? So, yeah, she ain't ever gettin on this list.
2) The force is cheating - their I said it.
3) This last movie sucked. This rap she did didn't help her cause.
ALSO - there’s this - her rapping. I repeat, she ain’t ever getting on this list.
Nic Cage - cuz he's Nic bleepin Cage
Cardi B - cuz she’s Cardi bleepin B
Hooded Justice - if only he had been in more episodes. A black man disguising himself in a hood, as well as white, to fight evil in his neighborhood, that the police force (of which he is a part of) refuses to stop. Hell yeah! I love "Watchmen".
Lupita! - her brilliantly scary performance in "Us" is def BAMF material.
The Rock - honestly, The Rock is so awesome, and has been for so long, that he needs to be extra awesome to make it.
Trying too Hard. Please STOP:
Batwoman -
Tumblr media
I like Ruby, but she's like an elf. She's an elf model. It's not bad to be an elf model, but... If a villain in Gotham, let's say "Bane" 
Tumblr media
has me cornered, and Batwoman shows up to "rescue me", Imma start praying. He'd swing her around by that red hair of hers until her head pops off.
Rambo - He’s like 80! C’mon, Sly. Please STOP.
Dark Phoenix - a movie about her temper tantrum 
Joker -
Tumblr media
 - not with all of that awkward dancing he was doing
NOW, finally, the top Bad Ass Muthas of 2019!
12) Greta - 
Tumblr media
Say what you will about climate change, but you can't deny her passion and dedication, and how inspiring it is (unless you're Prez Trump or Fox News) to see and hear a kid like her do her thing. I admit that her winning the honor of "Person of the Year" is too much. But, we all wish our kids would be this dedicated to what they believe is positive change. Plus, she has a kickass soundtrack. Gets me hyped every time!
11) Dave Chappelle
Tumblr media
Back in the day, comedians used to be brought on stage, tasked with the difficult job of making a room full of different types of people laugh. Now, it's not just about the job of jokes, but you have to do so without offending anyone, and with clean living. When did we start holding a comedian's behavior to a higher standard than we do elected officials? Dave saw this, and kept doing what made him popular anyway. In a world where most comedians are running scared from difficult topics, Dave plunges right in. BAD ASS. 
10) Linda Hamilton - 
Tumblr media
Old as bleep! We have what's-her-face here, 
Tumblr media
who is kinda badass herself, but despite being a badass cyborg (or whatever the hell she is), she still felt the need to ask for help from Linda bleepin Hamilton. LH traded her Hospice bingo card in for some guns and went to town on some machines! It'd be like if your home was being surrounded by aliens, and despite you having some fire power in your home and 911 at your disposal, everyone's first thought is to call grandma. That'd have to be one BAMF of a granny!
9) Masvidal - 
Tumblr media
Allow me to describe this brotha to y'all who might not know.
Some guy was talkin smack to Masvidal, and that guy got kneed in the face by Masvidal (fastest knock out in UFC history = 5 secs). Some guy was arrogant enough to say he was the baddest mofo around, and Masvidal scheduled a fight with this dude for a literal baddest mofo around belt. Plus, that same night of the fight, when he was talking to the media after he had won, he started mocking Conor McGregor, talkin bout Conor don't want none of this. He was talking trash, publicly, about Conor, while people were feeding him pizza. BADASS!
If there is ever a fork in the road, and on one side you see The Rock, Jason Statham, and Will Smith chasing after you, and the other you have Masvidal sitting down, eating a slice of pizza, you had better take your chances with the three action heroes over this BAMF.
8) Nunes - 
Tumblr media
If you don't know who she is, I wouldn't be surprised. The UFC botched her marketing before and after she fought and beat (badly) Ronda Rousey - yeah, RONDA ROUSEY; remember her? Nunes pretty much ended her career.
The UFC was so certain that Ronda was going to win, and so shocked when she lost, that they missed an opp to get behind a fighter who is better than Ronda (though mad respect for Ronda), and is currently holding TWO belts (first woman to do so). ALSO, she's the first openly gay UFC champ in history. She's so sweet too! - well, unless you're locked in the octagon with her, then she turns into a werewolf.
7) MANDO
Tumblr media
I don't know about you, but all of this talk of teamwork from comic book movies can be a bit tiresome. The Avengers, The Justice League, The X-Men. Everybody wants to form a band. What happened to solo acts? What happened to lone rangers? People may say "There's no I in TEAM." Yeah, that's the prob! What about I?! Sometimes, you're Justin Timberlake, and the rest of the group is simply holding you back. That's Mando. He's Disney's updated (non-racist, unless you’re talkin drones) Lone Ranger. He doesn't need teamwork (maybe a weekly cameo, and a baby tag-along, but that's it!). He has beaten up gangs of robots, burnt people up, taken people out Jason Voorhees style, cut people in half, blown people up, blown off heads, BUT because it's Disney, we haven't seen any of that good stuff. He'd be higher on this list if they gave my man an R-rating.
6) Capt Marvel -
Tumblr media
Captain Marvel is definitely the most powerful person on this list. She is probably also the fiercest person on this list. In Endgame, when she saw her black daddy (Nick Fury) on the screen, talkin bout Thanos snapped him away, and then something snapped inside of her, and she said "I'm going to go kill that mofo." The Avengers accompanied her, but I don't think she would have needed their help. She didn't really need their help in the final showdown with Thanos. He threw her aside, but you know she was coming back, until Tony got in her way. She is so fiery that it wouldn't surprise me if in her sequel, she goes back in time in order to rematch Thanos by herself, to prove her dominance. The reason that she's not higher on the list is because she's so damned destructive. She's just like The Hulk in the fact that she shows up to destroy everything. Now, she's a lot more focused than The Hulk, but she's so powerful that she does more damage. And she doesn't have much of a personality (so far), so it's hard to gauge her badassery of attitude, you know?? Like, if you're a villain, and you get in the way of a gorilla, that gorilla will destroy you in a very spectacularly badass way, but... it's a gorilla, you know??
I’M NOT CALLING HER A GORILLA. Don’t go snitching on me to her.
I just don’t know if she’s a hero or simply has anger management issues. Is she badass or too powerful not to do badass things?
Either way, RESPECT... or she'll come for that ass.
TIME FOR A BREAK - 
Let’s break from all of this badassery with some cuteness
Tumblr media
Look how cute it is - I CAN’T TAKE IT!
Ok, back to action.
5) Iron Man - 
Tumblr media
Look, Iron-Man started this shit! Who knows what would have become of the MCU had Robert Downey Jr. blew it. Tony Stark assembled the team (granted, he was partly the reason for the break-up), he gave us Spider-Man (with that suit) (he also gave us Ultron, but let's not get bogged down with details), he held his own against Thanos in "Infinity War",
Dr. Strange thought HIM worthy of saving, and no way time travel would have worked in "Endgame" without him. Plus, in the very end, he out-smarted Thanos, and countered Thanos' one-liner ("I am inevitable.") with his own ("And I... [five minutes later - I swear that's what it felt like] am Iron-Man.").
Paid the ultimate sacrifice. Hell yeah, he's on this list. I felt kinda bad for his wife. After IM3, she was barely around. And when Tony died, she was barely comforted... cuz nobody knew her. Oh, well.. she be aiight.
4) Thanos - 
Tumblr media
This dude saw his demise coming, and still went straight ahead towards the foes who cut his head off. BADASS! He was exceptionally crafty in playing The Avengers and blowing up their base. Then, he was just sitting around waiting for the main Avengers (Capt, Iron, and Fat Thor). He wanted to gloat a bit first. BADASS! And had Gamora not betrayed him, and had given him the gaunlet, he would have beaten The Avengers AGAIN!
He even died with a cool pose (he took a knee and got his "Thinking Man" on). BADASS!
3) Arya Stark - 
Tumblr media
This young lady scared the bleep out of me. She has my fear AND respect. I was actually scared for whomever her current target was... I was like "Run, fool! She gonna get ya! Damn, Arya, you didn't have to do them like that!"
Now, I know I talked about Ruby Rose being a ridiculous choice for Batwoman, but if Arya Stark left on a voyage to Gotham and became Batwoman, I'd buy that. I can see her killing Bane very slowly. This woman is a frickin psychopath, and I love it. She's fearless! She also went up against the top cheese of the white walkers. Y'all remember that badass move she had at the end!
YES! I only wish she had said something cool when she took him out, like... "You've been Starked." No, that's terrible, but something like that. I wish she was the one sitting on the throne, but they... you know... did what they did.
2) Capt America - 
Tumblr media
I think that it's fair to say that Capt America was the rock of The Avengers After the snap, he was the only one to keep his shit together; he actually worked to help others keep their shit together.
Meanwhile, Widow is crying in the dark every night while having a PB sandwich and bourbon dinner. And she just gave up on her hair.
Tumblr media
Thor became an alcoholic.
And you could say Hulk was ok, but... was he?
Tumblr media
I mean, that ain't right. This is avoidance behavior if I've ever seen it.
But, Capt kept it together. Then, that fight with Thanos at the end was one of, if not THE best one on one fight of the series. Using both Thor weapons, meaning he was both badass on a fighting level and a righteousness level - which ain't easy to accomplish. And when he straped tight his shield in that trailer, and gritted his teeth - hell yeah!
Tumblr media
Chills. Capt to Thanos: You motha bleeper"
1) John Wick - 
Tumblr media
Three movies with no time in-between to shower, sleep, take a piss, brush his teeth, NOTHING! His life for the last few years (it seems like) has been running, lurking, hiding, beating ass.. and beating ass some more. Lord knows what this dude's kill count is up to. His nickname is "Baba Yaga" Have y'all seen what the actual Baba Yaga looks like?
Tumblr media
Terrifying. And yet, not as terrifying as John Wick when he's angry at you.
The amount of endurance and focus that has gone into this long stint of murdering (only fueled by rage and a few shots of bourbon from time to time) is uncanny.
In JW3 he makes a guy eat a book (imagine what must be done to a person's jaw for that to happen), he gets shot, stabbed, hit my two cars (seconds within each other)... Nah, y'all ain't hear me! TWO CARS! The people in the cars were trying to kill him! He fought two super ninjas - like IP Man caliber, he beat up an army of soldiers, crawled through a desert, got shot by a friend who betrayed him, fell off of a building (bouncing around a few times before hitting the pavement), and was somehow still good to schedule a fourth movie after all of that - which I assume will pickup right there.
He doesn't have any superpowers (though you wouldn't know), but his tenacity is to be envied, and outdoes everyone else's on this list.
BAMF!!!

The mcu is pretty okay with continuity errors right? I mean there’s not too many blatantly obvious ones that you can spot, unless you spend hours on tumblr. Unlike the xmen series (which I love and adore with all my heart)
But I just thought of one and it’s kinda big??? After starting to rewatch the series in order properly (since I have most of the dvds and just got disney+) So iron man is supposed to take place in 2008 right? I mean it came out that year, in homecoming Happys all ‘I been carrying this ring around since 2008’ which is supposedly when tony and pepper got together.
Some people think hulk comes before iron man 2 others think it comes after, personally I think it comes before iron man 2, partly because of the release dates and because of finer details that I’ll come to in a min, either way we know iron man 2 comes around 6 months after the first and Thor starts roughly half way through that film (coulson has to go to New Mexico) and hulk can’t have happened long before that because Erik makes a comment about a scientist who did research on gamma radiation and got his life’s work taken away by shield (hint,hint).
Anyway, erik then starts working for shield (as seen in end credits scene) and as Loki’s there he can’t have been working there long before the attack on New York. Cap has clearly not spent much time out of the ice from what we see in avengers assemble so we can assume that all this superhero biz took place around 2008/2009 including the attack on New York, this would add up with opening scene in Spider-Man homecoming as it says 8 years after the events of avengers the events of homecoming begin, we know that this information adds up because the film only takes place after civil war from 2016.
But see this is the big issue, as we all know in endgame Bruce, cap, Scott and tony go back to the the attack on New York in which it says is 2012, without the information homecoming gives us this is all fine and makes sense right? We can kinda forget how close the earlier films are supposed to be set together and guess it’s a few years apart? Even with those oh so important details? If the events of homecoming really are 8 years after avengers assemble and the attack on New York really did take place in 2012 are we to assume that the avengers have been living in the future far longer than we have realised? But even then that wouldn’t make sense seeing as Peter Parker was born 10 august 2001 and that would make him 18/19 in homecoming which would be 2020 when he specifically says he’s 15.
So it all comes down to when the FUCK AVENGERS ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE CUZ TO BE HONEST WITH YOU IT SEEMS TO MAKE MORE SENSE IN 2008/2009 BUT ENDGAME HAS OTHER FUCKING IDEAS?????? Is it just me??
May I also add how FUCKING DUMB THE AVENGERS ARE? Do you know what would have been sooooo much easier than fucking going back to different years and shit? Going back on the day that infinity war took place, go to whatever shitass planet thanos landed his purple grape nutsak on, where he went to retire and heal before he snapped the stones out of excistance (and I mean like arrive there the same time he would have) do the same old manuver that they pulled at the beginning and have Thor chop off thanos’ head again (pretty pleasurable to watch tbh) grab the gauntlet with all the stones in and hulk can snap all the peeps back no probs, no tony dying, no Nat dying, no struggle with 2014 nebula and thanos, just freaking pip squeaksss easy, might not be as entertaining to watch or have gamora back and Loki in another timeline but GUESS WHAT BITCH THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HECKIN LOT EASIER THAN THE WAY THEY DID IT AND YOU HAVE A FUCKING TIME MACHINE THAT DOESNT FUCK UP YOUR OWN TIMELINE SO GO STEAL GAMORA AND LOKI FROM THE TIMELINES THEY DIED IN YOU DUMB HOE (I mean I love endgame it a great film and a fantastic emotional rollercoaster but still guys????)

END GAME SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!! WARNING!!!!
So I just watched endgame and woah! I wanna make a list of my thoughts.
Thor slicing off thanos' head was EPIC
The reason Tony went to help is because he needed Peter back and im MELTING. He literally had the picture framed guys i CANT
One of the first things he said when he got back to earth was "I lost the kid"
Everyone's acting was amazing. RDJ was perfect, literally perfect. Tom's acting during Tonys death scene might be his best work. They way he made his voice all shakey shattered me.
Thor being FAT was hysterical
THE FORTNITE WHY
I loved that so many characters were in it. People i wouldnt even expect like the shield- hyrda guys, the old sorcerers supreme lady, thor's mom etc.
Thor talking to his mom was so sweet I loved it
Natashas death scene was so heary breaking. She sacrificed herself for Clint amd everyone else cuz they were her only family
Tony getting to talk to his dad and find out what his dad really thought of him was so touching. He basically forgave him so Tony literally had no burdens when he died.
Cap getting to see Peggy was so cute and as much as I would've loved from him to not be old at the end, im still happy for him
Dr. Strange bringing everyone through the portals was SO COOL
PEPPER POTT IN THE IRON WOMAN SUIT YES PLEASE
"Avengers.....assemble"
STEVE ROGERS IS WORTHY
PETER PARKER IS WORTHY
Wanda kicking the crap out of Thanos slayed my life
Thor going crazy with that lightning slayed my life
Steve kicking the crap out of Thanos with Thors hammer slayed my life
All of their reunion scenes were so cute but
TONY AND PETERS REUNION MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE PART OF THE WHOLE MOVIE!!!
Peters all "hey mr stark remember when i got dusted back there i might have been dreaming but u weren't there and dr strange opened the portals and-"
AND TONY JUST FREAKING HUGS HIM!!! HE'S LOOKING AT HIM ALL LOVINGLY WHEN HE'S RAMBLING THEN HE HUGS HIM. THEY FINALLY GOT TO HUG AND IT WAS REAL AND SWEET AND PERFECT I LOVE IT
And Peter just goes "this is nice" MY HEART.
The fact that Peter saved Tony right before too
Peter activating instant kill mode! He hammered those fools!
Dont worry guys peters got it
Nvm he doesn't
"Hey queens!"
^loved it
Peter crawling into a little ball on the ground while he's all beaten up was so cute and sad at the same time. Shows he's still a kid and it really gives my spiderman hoco vibes.
Peter's little convo with captain marvel was so cuuuute
THE SHOT OF ALL THE MARVEL GIRL BEING ALL BAD ASS WAS AODJOSLD
Peter's just there like (¤.¤) woah
The only thing i didn't like about that scene was that Natasha wasn't in it. But it's the next gen, the ladies following in her foot steps so I guessss that makes up for it
Carol not even flinching when Thanos hit her was COOL
Also thank u Carol for saving Tony at the beginning
Speaking of the beginning, TONY HAD ME ROLLING WHEN HE WAS YELLING AT CAP AHAHHA
This movie was so freaking funny yall
Thanos getting snapped will forever be the biggest "oh how the tables have turned" right next to the video of the jonas brothers
"I am Iron Man"
Is Tony Starks last living sentence in the mcu.
We got so many iconic quotes in this movie "i am iron man" avengers assemble" "dont do anything stupid till i get back" "how can i youre taking all the stupid with you" "i can do this all day" "On your left" etc etc
Caps reaction to seeing himself was SO FUNNY
"THATS AMERICAS ASS"
Tony idk what you're talking about, caps ass looked great lol
Tony and his daughter were literally so freaking cute
"I love you 3000"
Tony didn't have a cheap death and im so glad about that. When characters die, I always get so angry cuz I feel like their deaths are stupid. But Tonys is good, as much as I didnt want him to die. He had forgiven his father, he created his own family, brought back everyone else he loved, and saved everyone he loved. Seeing him there with half his body burnt was heart breaking but Tony Stark saved everyone. He died saving everyone and thats AMAZING.
Peter's reaction to seeing Tony dying was the saddest scene I've ever scene. The way he ran up to him and was like "no mr stark we won sir we won" and the fact that he finally called Tony by his first name. Peter was literally bawling and it was so....sad. no other way to describe it
Pepper holding a crying peter
Pepper telling Tony its ok and that he can rest now
The funeral scene was so sad. They really had to put his arc reactor in the center
"Proof that Tony Stark has a heart"
Cuz when that thing stopped glowing u can bet my tears were flowing
I love that everyone was at the funeral. U can tell Peter was trying so hard! Not to cry
HARLEY WAS THERE ARE WE KIDDING. I LOVED THAT SO MUCH
Tony started this journey with basically no family and he ended it with a wife, best friends, teammates, a daughter, 2 kids he basically fostered lets be honest, and a world forever greatful to him.
Morgan and Happy talking was adorable but!! I cant be the only one who noticed the cheeseburger thing. As soon as she said that my mind instantly went back to the first Iron Man movie when he comes back from his kidnapping and hes like "cheeseburger first"
She gets it from he dad.
Peter and Neds hand shake and hug was adorable.
The only thing that I didn't really like was that Steve made Sam the new Captain America. I feel like it should've been Bucky.
This movie was amazing and I will forever love the characters and the actors. This is Marvels best movie.
P.s. I would've done the 'see more' thing but I dont know how to do it and I needed to get this out of my system. Also feel free to add on. Also someone needs to write a fix it fanfic where everyone lives. My Peter Tony heart needs HELP.

Healer of My Heart
Pairing: Bruce Banner x Avenger!Healer!Reader
Summary: Bruce’s injuries may be irreversible to even the most advanced technology, but not if you have anything to say about it. 
Warnings: <<*ENDGAME SPOILERS*>> feels, slight angst
Word Count: 3105
Request:@no1brucebannerfangirl requested “Can I suggest a Bruce Banner x Reader where the reader has healing powers and is able to repair Bruce’s arm? ‘Cuz I heard that his arm injury is permanent and THAT’S NOT OKAY!”
A/N: Since Reader is a healer, I took the liberty of changing a few extra canon things! Hope you enjoy it hon!
Tumblr media
You all stood in silence - it was done. The stones were all in place, and it was time for someone to wear it. You were the first to shakily reach for the Iron Gauntlet, but several hands grabbed at you, pulling you away from the box.
"It should be me," you snapped. "My powers… we've seen what it did to Thanos, and Rocket told us what happened when the guardians wielded one stone. Who knows what it would do to a mortal? My advanced healing might be able to handle it.
"Besides, compared to all of you, I'm the most expendable. You're Earth's mightiest heroes. I'm a healer. The world doesn't depend on my existence like it does all of yours."
They looked uneasy - you made a pretty solid argument about your powers, but you were too precious to all of them. You may have been 'just a healer,' but you had made them each a better person, and you really held the team together in tough times. Bruce was the first to speak up.
"You can't do this Y/N, we won't let you. Me least of all. Besides, the gamma, it's like… it’s like I was made for this."
He nodded to someone behind you, and iron-clad arms circled you waist, pulling you back.
"No. No! Let me go, Tony, let me go!" You fought against his hold and almost broke away, but Steve caught you and caged you into his chest, immobilizing you.
"Steve. Steve let me go. Please! It has to be me. Not him, please no!"
You beat against his chest with your fists and tried to escape his hold, but it was useless. Steve looked down at you with a remorseful look as he shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Y/N, I really am. But Banner's right. And it's his decision." Steve nodded to Bruce, and you struggled even harder as he reached for the Iron Gauntlet.
Bruce smiled sadly at you and breathed, "It'll be okay. Let me do this."
Traitorous tears escaped your eyes as Tony covered the three of you with his holo-nano shield. A tense moment as the gauntlet expanded, an ethereal and foreboding glow, and then Bruce was yelling in agony as a myriad of colors and power visibly flowed through his veins. You clamped your hands over your mouth to contain your own screams. Steve was trying to cover you view of Bruce, but you couldn't look away.
It should have been you.
> > > > > > >
A metallic snap, and the air was suddenly lighter. Bruce was splayed out, right arm a charred, smoking mess. Tony's suit was administering a suture spray to suppress the damage already done, but you knew it wouldn't be enough. You ripped away from Steve's loosened grip and stumbled forwards, dropping to your knees at Bruce's side.
"Move. Move!" You nudged Tony out of the way and cradled Bruce's face, your hand barely covering the curve of his jaw, but his groans subsided and he leaned into your hand nonetheless. You gingerly placed your other hand on his injured arm, letting your powers take over.
Bruce let out a relieved breath as the charred and cracked skin of his arm started to very slowly knit together, so slowly it was nearly imperceptible. You could see the muscle and sinew slowly rebuilding itself beneath the charred mess, the semi-healed skin turning from ashy gray to a sickly green.
Whew. It was working. You slumped a little, leaning to hug Bruce as you continued to heal his arm. It was taking more of your energy than you had anticipated, and the process was much too slow for your liking. The skin was still damaged, his arm immobile and emaciated as you crumpled onto his chest.. God, you were tired.
Bruce's left hand gently caressed your head, the sight and feel slightly comical due to his hulking size. Heh, you were really going loopy if you were making horrible puns.
Your hearing was muffled, and you could barely make out Bruce's voice saying, "Y/N, please stop. You're wearing yourself out. I'll be fine, I promise."
You tried to respond, you really did, but the words just wouldn't form on your tongue. Your mouth was too tired, brain a muddied mess. A hazy voice pierced your thoughts.
"Guys, I think it worked." Scott Lang's disbelieving laughter was heard in the background, scarcely leaving his lips before the air vibrated and the building shook, suddenly exploding the space around you.
Panic filled you as the shock-wave sent everyone careening in different directions. The floor gave way beneath you, plummeting you into unknown depths. The mix of emotions and exhaustion you were experiencing, with the sudden adrenaline and panic, was too much for your over-stimulated body and you blacked out as you and Bruce fell into the darkness.
> > > > > > >
Soft. But… firm? You opened your eyes with a groan, seeing nothing but darkness. Your body hummed with nervous energy, exhausted but alert. A rattling cough, a strained groan, the shifting of metal and concrete. Your ears were suddenly assaulted with a symphony of sounds.
Your eyes soon adjusted, and you saw Bruce straining to hold up a giant slab of concrete that threatened to crush you both. Gasping, you scrambled to move, but you were pinned to the spot.
"No Y/N, don't move," Bruce grunted out the words, and you heeded the warning.
Taking stock of your surroundings, you were filled with dread at the sight of the obliterated building. How were you even alive after an explosion like that? The answer - Bruce. His body was shielding yours, half smothering you as he struggled to both keep you safe, and to hold up the concrete.
"Bruce, what happened?" Your hushed whisper seemed loud in the space between dripping water and crumbling foundation.
"Explosion. Barely managed to save you," he grunted again, shifting to stabilize his grip.
"Okay. Okay. Oh god, I hope the team is okay. We're gonna be okay, right? We have to be." You rambled hysterically as you looked around, trying to shut yourself up, but your mouth kept moving without your consent.
"Maybe… maybe I can call for help. Somebody will come, right? Those bastards are too stubborn to die. Oh god, please don't let them be dead. This isn't helping."
Bruce let out a strained chuckle, "No, no it's not helping, but I'm just glad it's you I'm trapped with. Even in an impossible situation, you can make me laugh.”
"Very touching, but could you bozos stop yapping and help me out from under here?"
Rocket's pained voice echoed in the space around you. Another groan, and you heard Rhodey's voice ring out, "I got you buddy, just hold still."
You heard a metallic clang, Rocket's relieved sigh, and the thud of more falling concrete.
"Rocket? Rhodey? You guys okay?"
"Yeah Y/N, we're fine now. You and Banner okay? Keep talking so we can find you."
"Oh thank goodness. Rhodey, be careful. We're stuck, and the area's unstable. Is anyone else around?"
Rhodey's voice grew closer, "No, just us, as far as I can tell. Hang tight, we're coming to you."
"Wow. Okay. We're gonna need backup for this."
As they came into view, Bruce snorted and you sassed, "Y'think? We figured we'd just chill out here, maybe have a picnic. Care to join?"
Rocket laughed dryly, "Ha ha. Okay, wise-ass. I'm going to see if anybody else survived."
"No, wait! It's safer to stick together -"
You were cut off by Bruce's shout, curling in on yourself as he suddenly scooped you towards him and strained to hold the concrete up.
"… Hello?"
Nothing had ever sounded so beautiful as Scott's echoing voice.
"Scott! We're over here! Be careful though, everything's unstable."
You saw his miniaturized form navigating the rubble, and you nearly cried when he said, "Oh hey! What's up guys? Here, let me take care of that for you."
In the blink of an eye, Scott was a giant, grabbing the four of you in one hand as he flicked the huge slab of concrete away.
"Okay gang, let's go find the others," Scott's optimism was astounding.
As he carried you all to safety, you started to heal Bruce's arm again. He knew that resistance was futile, so he sat back in Scott's palm and let you do your thing. "This is so weird. I'm used to being the biggest one around here." You just laughed at Bruce's glum face.
The team was soon reunited outside the destroyed compound, the relief short-lived as you now faced Thanos' army.
"Suit up kid, can't leave our super-medic without protection."
You caught the bracelet that Tony had tossed your way - your very own nano tac suit. You grinned and tossed him a lazy salute as you activated it.
> > > > > > >
"On your left."
You were exhausted. Again. But you supposed that running around trying to heal your wounded teammates would do that to a girl.  As you had been healing Tony's concussion, you had looked around to see Steve standing alone against Thanos and his entire army.
So yeah, when you heard Sam's voice over the comms, you choked back a sob of relief. They were back.
Tumblr media
After Steve's triumphant "Avengers, assemble" call to arms, it was chaos. You darted around trying to heal and patch up as many people as you could. There were so many allies on the battlefield, it was so hard to keep track of what was happening. You flitted around, doing your best to heal the injured and moved on to the next person. The battle was still raging when you saw it - Tony and Thanos in a clearing. You raced towards them with an unnatural speed.
There was a small shock-wave when Tony snapped his fingers.
"Stupid, dramatic bastard," you sobbed as you fell at his side, his vacant stare crushing your heart.
"C'mon Tony, stay with me. We need you, the world needs you," You slammed your hands against his chest, draining all your energy just to heal his deteriorating heart. One last effort - "Morgan needs you."
With those words, you pushed your remaining energy into healing him, and you briefly heard, "Kid?" before your vision faded.
> > > > > > >
Ugh. Everything hurt. Newly conscious with eyes still closed, you tried to gather your bearings. What the hell had happened? Oh. Right. You had almost killed yourself trying to save Tony… Tony! Your eyes flew open and you saw yourself in a sterile-looking, but comfortably homey, room with a sleeping Bruce at your bedside.
You put your hand over his large one resting on the bed, and promptly fell asleep again.
You woke days later, feeling a lot better. Each member of the team visited you and caught you up on what had happened after the battle with Thanos. The others came and went, but Bruce remained a constant.
"So let me get this straight… we won?"
"Yep."
"And Thanos and his goons dusted?"
"That's correct."
"And Tony's okay?"
"Well, I wouldn't say okay, exactly, but he's alive thanks to you. He's on the mend."
"Oh thank goodness. Which brings me to my next question. We're in…?"
"Wakanda."
"And I almost died."
"Yes. Which I'm still pretty pissed about."
"Hey! I couldn't let Morgan lose her dad."
"And that's why I adore you, but I can't stand to lose anyone else. Especially not you."
"… I'm sorry about Nat. I know you two used to  be close," your voice softened and you fiddled with the blanket covering you. "I miss her, Bruce."
He gently massaged your hand, lost in his thoughts now. "I miss her too, Y/N. I really did try to bring her back."
> > > > > > >
Tumblr media
"And how's my injured healer doing?"
You smiled at the young girl that walked in. "Shuri! Well, I'm still alive, thanks to you. A little queasy, but it'll pass. How's Tony doing?"
"Stark is progressing well. You did the most important part and saved his heart, the rest is manageable. He should wake soon." Shuri talked as she scanned your body with her kimoyo beads and studied the data.
"You're healing nicely as well. Try not to use up that healing power until you're fully recovered, hm?" She hummed and looked pointedly at Banner before waving goodbye.
You looked at Bruce in confusion, "What did she mean by that?"
"Hm? Oh nothing, it's nothing," his left hand went from cupping his face, to scratching his neck, then settling at an odd angle on his lap. You noticed his right arm remained immobile.
You narrowed your eyes at him, "You're a terrible liar, Bruce. Tell me."
He sighed and lifted his right sleeve - arm still emaciated and damaged.
"You mean… Shuri couldn't…?"
"No. Despite everything that she tried, the only thing that can even begin to repair it is… well, you."
"Ah. I now understand why she said that."
"Yep."
"Shit. And now all I wanna do is fix it."
"Yeah I thought as much," Bruce only sighed.
> > > 6 Months Later > > > >
"Hold still please."
"It's itchy."
"I haven't even put it on you yet, you big green baby!"
"I meant my arm."
"Yeah well, that's what happens when something takes forever to heal," You eye the sling. "Well, mostly."
"I can't even tie my own tie."
You smile, "And that's why I'm the one tying it for you."
Your fingers continue their work, carefully folding and manipulating the fabric.
"How'd you learn to tie a tie, anyways?" Bruce fidgets until you poke him in the chest pointedly.
You shrugged, "My mom taught me, said I should always know how to do thing 'just in case.' And hey, lookie here, she was right! It's certainly come in handy now."
You pat the perfect half-windsor knot, letting him know you were done. "Ta-da! Lookin' sharp in your suit there, Banner."
"Thank you Y/N. You look beautiful, by the way. "
"Why thank you, Sir Jeffers," you say with a laugh.
"Sir… what?" Bruce just looks confused.
"Eh, it's from a cartoon thing. You ready?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Oh wait! Last minute healing session!"
"Y/N…"
"Hush, it'll only take a minute. Slow as it may be, every little bit gets you closer to normal."
You spent a few minutes channeling your energy into his still-injured arm. It was mostly back to normal, the skin his now-normal green and the muscle mass was almost back to its original state, but still a work in progress.
"Thank you, Y/N." The quiet emotion in Bruce's voice put a lump in your throat.
"You're very welcome, Bruce." You pat his arm and stood up, a little weaker from the healing now.
Brushing your hands together and smoothing out your stylish pant suit, you grinned and said, "Now let's get to our seats, I can't wait to see Pepper's dress!"
Bruce offered you his good arm to escort you out. "Why are they having another wedding, again?"
You took his arm, "Because half our friends were dusted, and the remaining ones had a stick up their ass at the time? Besides, now Morgan and Peter can be the flower children, while Harley is a dashing groomsman! Peter is still a little miffed about that," your laugh was music to his ears, and he couldn't help but smile.
You made it to your seats and sat through the ceremony. It was breathtaking, and you choked up as Tony and Pepper said their vows. Even old man Steve shed a tear and smiled a little wistfully. You had offered to regenerate his cells, but he had declined, saying he'd had enough lifetimes, and it was time to step down. You were a little sad, but you'd understood and respected his choice.
The ceremony ended, and the reception was now in full swing. Tony and Pepper walked up to you and Bruce, hugging you both tightly before Tony quipped, "Hey kid, where's my wedding present?"
"Tony!" You laughed as Pepper smacked him on the back of his head.
"What, saving your life and fixing your arm wasn't enough?" You crossed your arms and stared at him with a raised brow.
"I - I wasn't -"
Your straight face split into a shit-eating grin  at his floundering. "Oh my god, your face! Priceless. You know I'm kidding. What the hell am I supposed to buy a billionaire? I got you the Avenger set of Hot Wheels."
Tony shook his head and Pepper just laughed. He grew serious as he pulled you into a hug and whispered, "I really owe you, kid. You've given me the greatest gift I could ever have asked for." You pulled away, both of you misty eyed, before you shared a parting nod as the newlyweds went to greet others.
Tumblr media
Bruce stuck by your side throughout the night, and you eventually ended up on the dancefloor, his good arm wrapped around your waist.
You looked up at Bruce and joked, "I can't believe you made me heal Tony first. We could have been properly dancing."
He smiled sweetly. "You take good care of me. And besides, we'd never be able to dance properly, I'm more than twice your size." He paused, "And I couldn't let Morgan see her dad like that, not if you could help him."
You practically melted from his pure and sweet demeanor.
"And that, dear Bruce, is why I adore you."
Dancing with only one arm was awkward, so you discreetly did the last bit of healing needed on his arm and said, "My feet hurt, can you pick me up please?"
Bruce looked at you a little funnily, but complied with his good arm and held you to his wide chest, you being seated in the crook of his elbow and arms around his neck. You slyly undid the strap to the sling behind his back and let it fall to the ground.
"What the…? Aw man, hold on Y/N, give me a second please." Bruce saw the sling fall and bent to let you down and grab it, but you deliberately 'lost' you balance and fell back.
Bruce gasped and reflexively went to catch you with his right arm, catching and cradling you before you could hit the floor.
"That was stupid," he admonished. "You could have gotten a concussion or -"
You grinned up at his dumbfounded look.
"Cat got your tongue?" you cheekily asked.
"You - you - healed me? Completely?"
"Yep! Now c'mon and put me down, you owe me a proper dance!"
Bruce shook his head and smiled adoringly, "You're really something, you know that?"
"Only for you," you sighed happily. This was it, this was home - in Bruce's arms, surrounded by your crazy makeshift family.

endgame rant
because i have a lot of feelings and need to get em out *SPOILERS*
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
during the movie i enjoyed it so much but afterwards the more i though about it the more flaws i found. 
- first of all, natasha noooooo!!!!!!!! i was bawling during that scene cuz i new what was gonna happen and it hurt so much. even the big guy sitting next to me was crying. And i guess it makes sense clint and nat were the ones to go to vormir considering the soul stone requires a sacrifice and they are the ones with the strongest bond in the original avengers and nat obviously wasnt going to let clint die because of his family. but it does kinda pisses me off they killed off the only female og avenger especially when she admitted she finally had found her family and she deserved to be in the ICONIC female assemble.
- steve, steve, steve... most of the movie was okay for him but what was that at the end???? he didnt even said goodbye to bucky lmao. Also him picking up the hammer, although it resulted in an epic fight, felt really weird, like out of place. He really his america’s ass though.
- tony, tony TONY !!!!!!! nope no no no. he had everything he ever wanted, he was finally happy and then he decided to be his selfless self one last time and now im hurt. Sorry but it should have been steve. i mean, he’s the one who didnt have anything left, he’s the one who didnt moved on, he’s the soldier. so IM PISSED OK, not at you tony, u i love 3000. also the scene with his father was so bittersweet and omg he said he’s name was howard potts!!!
- carol ! wtf was that??? she was badass and beautiful and i love her (the haircut !!!!! the pantsuit at the funeral !!!!!) but the way they used her seemed a bit easy, like “oh no tony and nebula are stuck, let’s bring carol” and “oh no everybody is getting shot, let’s bring carol” and it makes me wonder what kind of adversaries they’re gonna give her in the next movies... but otherwise each time she fought thanos was so epic (the headbutt !!!!) and when the canons started shooting at the sky and everybody was like “????” -> poetic cinema ! But im kinda disappointed we didnt get to see a tony/carol friendship and she didnt even interact with fury, i hope we get some peter/carol mentorship in the future.
- yay sam ! im glad he’s the one getting the shield also when i heard “on your left” i almost screamed.
- when all the dusted appeared through the portals was so fucking EPIC !!!! and the big “assemble” gave me chills.
- thor omfg! it made me laugh during the movie, not gonna lie i couldnt stop but now it does feel kinda cheap. like marvel was “oh he was funny in ragnarok, let’s make him the joke in this one”.
- valkyrie !!!!!!! you’re doing amazing sweetie and it’s what you deserve. But what happened to her accent?? in ragnarok i even thought tessa was english but in this one it sounded really bad.
Scott and rocket must be protected at all costs Nebula was badass af, 10/10 I think this was the first time i actually liked clint Wanda was on fire!!!! Did shuri even have one (1) line? smh Peter, as usual, was a precious bean. always introducing himself Was joe russo the lgbtq character we were promised? lmao Pepper potts in the suit !!!!!! And i think that’s all... so yeah i have a lot of feelings, not all good but overall i guess it was a decent conclusion to the last 10 years... except for tony, i wanted him to take over stan lee and make the cameos !

ENDGAME THOUGHTS
I’ve seen it, and I have things to say...
Okay, so, let’s start with the light-hearted stuff first: 
Bruce Banner finally accepting the Hulk as a whole ??? yes
America’s Ass
WHY IS STEVE WORTHY OF MJOLNIR
Steve winning the battle with his other self by naming Bucky ?? marvel cant resist the gay tm even if they tried 
Carol Danvers and her lesbian haircut can fuck me up with a rake 
There was a brief moment where I shipped Natasha and Carol, but that just fell off a cliff ;)
Peter Parker emerging from that portal looking FiNNER than ever. my poor starker heart
WE FINALLY GOT TONY AND PETER HUGGING 
i like the way Steve said “avengers... assemble” meaning everyone on their side was an avenger, even the smallest of them all. they just... thats the perfect fucking ending. theyre all avengers. 
loki just randomly grabbing his cube and disappearing 
is gamora like... alive? why is gamora 
tony stark being the motherfucking hero agAIN literally just proves that without him marvel is and will be nothing. he invented time traveling... it doesnt get better than that, folks 
every single character together on the same planet fighting the same evil 
my relieved ass when thanos got dusted 
“this is the one?” “the options were him or a tree”
Tony fucking Stark lived happy for five years with his daughter okay
Now, onto the sadded stuff: 
Thor, as far as I know, was written that way for this movie to add some commedy, but it just literally broke my heart to see him like that after losing everything. 
Continuing with Thor, the encounter with his mother. She’s just really wise, and understanding and I’m so glad Thor got the closure he needed on that department. 
I’m going to express how insanely mad I am about Steve’s ending. First of all, I feel like the happy ending that Tony deserved they gave to Steve. I’m not saying he shouldn’t have ended happy as well, but common. I understand that he wanted to live a life with Peggy, but even if it was six seconds for the others, he left Bucky alone. He doesn’t have Steve, Tony, Natasha. Anyone, and he didn’t even get the shield? catch me on CNN news hitting marvel writers with a frying pan. 
What the fuck was Natasha’s ending? It felt flat and it was really... quick. I just... don’t like it. 
Tony dying. I cried so hard that my little sobbing stopped me from watching the whole scene. Peter finally got his hug, and then he was calling for him saying “mr. stark... we won! mr. stark, do you hear me? we won... tony?” just... breaks my heart. Pepper calming him down, telling him that he could rest in peace... it just, also breaks my heart. Peter has no mentor, Pepper has no husband and Morgan has no father. I love you 3000. im crying as i write this, obviously. he deserved so much better. “proof that tony stark has a heart”. fucking hell, my heart is so sad. the fucking funeral is just,,, the worst thing that has ever happened to me
i love that peter reconnected with his friends and all but you could see the sadness in his eyes. specially in the funeral, when aunt may was holding him. 
happy is just such a good person, and i know he’s going to miss his boss. hes going to take care of that little girl like it was his own daughter
we didnt get enough groot/rocket and im pissed. 
we also didn’t get bucky/steve recognition aT ALL and if anyone wants to talk about this pls come to my dm’s 
BUCKY KNEW WHAT STEVE WAS GOING TO DO AND HE LET HIM DO IT ANYWAY BECAUSE HE LOVES HIM 
i truly dont know how im going to get passed this 
my starker heart was going to explode “i lost the kid” and the hug and “tony...” and fucking hell 
peter sorrounded for women. which isnt sad but i remembered now 
doctor strange telling tony that it was the only way literally just fucks up everything 
i didnt see doctor strange in the funeral ?? i might have been crying too hard to notice tho,, but if any of u did can u let me know. where my boy at 
tony got closure with his dad as well and that simultaneously breaks my heart and leaves me a little calmer 
loki had no respectful ending whatsoever and im mad 
im happy for clint and scott but they did my man stark wrong 
was that rando at tony’s funeral harley? i thought i was going to see much more tbh 
they better not leave sam and black panther in nothing just cuz theyre black cuz everybody a racist nowadays. im watching marvel.
Conclusions: 
I have a bunch of theories, which im not telling right now cuz i have to get them together. 
you can all bET your fucking asses that im rewriting the end and im making it both starker and stucky 
beyond being a heartless movie, it has been the best one yet. the time traveling thing was a little confusing but the effects, the whole steve meeting steve was super well done and it kept me on the edge of my sit the three fucking hours. this has definitely been the best movie marvel has ever done. 
tony will forever remain in my heart, and my page is not going to acknowledge his death. 
tony stark was one of the few happy things i had left from my childhood and now its gone. my heart aches tremendously. I will never comprehend whats the reasoning behind it because tony is the whole foundation of marvel, and without him, theyre nothing. i cant believe hes dead. i cant believe it and i just... that should not have been his ending. i love him, i loved him and i will always love him. Rest In Peace, my love. 
“And I’m... Iron Man”

As I’m rewatching the pilot episode of LEVERAGE and Eliot had to be an IT guy, I'm now thinking about how to get Steve Rogers in glasses and undercover as an IT guy somewhere lol 
I'd love to play AGAINST the stereotype that Steve had or has so much trouble adjusting to modern technology. There are so many fandom wide ideas/concepts that are, from what I’ve seen, accepted by the majority that I DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO, and this one is right at the top of my THAT IS NOT MY CANON list. 
I don't understand why people want to put him in that box, ignore the mind that accompanies the muscle, but this cartoon sums it up very well (from HERE but if anyone knows the artist or original source, please let me know!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
THIS is Canon Steve for me. 
Marvel’s Avengers Assemble cartoon also plays with the stereotype and I appreciate it A LOT. In that cartoon, Steve is still RELUCTANT about technology but that’s REALLY DIFFERENT to being intimidated by or unable to grasp tech. Steve having a healthy amount of suspicion about humans being plugged in all the time and everywhere? THAT makes way more sense to me than “Steve needs help installing Windows” or “Steve doesn’t get the iPhone.” Steve never struck me as a dude who couldn’t adapt; his learning curve is off the charts, ain’t it? Why so many believe that would change when it came to modern tech has always been beyond me.
So yeah, I’d love an idea for Steve having to go undercover as an IT guy and probably Tony? Thinking that’s a JOKE and that he would have to give him a crash course in some basics but then having Steve blatantly refuse, Tony EXCITED to watch Steve crash & burn, but then as he’s listening in/watching the op go down ... realizing Steve knows A FCKING LOT and being BLOWN away. This would have to be early on in Steve and Tony’s relationship, though, cuz I also hate it when people don’t give Tony credit for knowing Steve on certain levels. After TIME together, I fully believe Tony would give Steve a hard time about not WANTING to be into tech versus not knowing how to use it. Again, THAT dynamic is in Marvel’s Avengers Assemble and I love it so much. I also believe that Tony sees the potential in people and can fully recognize their abilities and what they can do if they CHOOSE to do it.  
If we went with the easy way of Tony looking dumb for underestimating Steve, though, Bucky and Sam can be there to laugh at Tony’s underestimating the pretty blonde because it’s fcking FUNNY when people make asses out of themselves by assuming stuff and get faced :P It’s basic but for me, entertaining.
Problem is I have no actual idea for how to make this happen, nor am I versed in tech enough to make it believable lmaoooooooooo. 
BUT IT WOULD BE FUN CUZ UNDERESTIMATED BRAINY STEVE ROGERS IN GLASSES IS AMAZING:

A Idea I Will Never Finish
Authors note: see, I made this for my freind but also because speaks to me and it told me, boys in spandex. So this is Steve/Tony from the marvel universe : avengers assemble to be precise. Yuri/viktor from the anime yuri on ice. Last couple is H20vanoss from YouTube. It's also got some idea points on it so uh..yeh. Also the dances are not in order I apologize.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ideas:
* Steve does tap dancing skating like minimi.
* tony can do a enter the madness type of dance.
*The collector is the one who trapped them and forced them all there
*Yuri and Viktor, Evan and Johnathan, Tony and Steve, all trapped in a universe together, and they're all trying to get back home, and the only way to do it is to win the grand Prix finals
*Winner gets to pick one other person to go home too so like if Tony won, he could pick Steve or Evan or whoever to go home too
*During this time together they all become friends so whoever wins has a very hard time choosing cuz winners go home losers die
*So when it comes time to decide everyone's crying and what not
* the readers get to decide. Who goes home.
* two go home as promised and the two winners are back home, processing what happened and crying over the lose of their boyfriend's and friends
*THEN a extra chapter with the happy ending!
* Jon dances to twisted by MISSIO
* Tony's ice skating outfit is a red top tainted with black that fades and is linked with gold.
*steves ice skating outfit is a simple suspenders, dress shirt and pants.
*evans is a burgandy almost brown. Covered in fake owl wings and a little owl tail of feathers from the back of the pants aswell.
*delirious wears a long sleeve but comfy sparkly blue top with rhinestones all over it.
*yuuri's dance is that of a person stuck in a painting or idea ready to be put onto paper. Or a painting that falls in love with its artist!
The story:
The music began and tony could feel his heart pounding violently as he glided across the ice.He hasn't put his feet on the ice scince the loss of JARVIS how could he possibly put his heart into this routine? "GOOD LUCK!" yuri cried to the genius. God Steve was watching why did he pick this song? He could seduce all the girls out there but he wanted Steve. But Steve didn't want him WHY did he pick this stupid fucking song?!? cause, he's tony stark and he was going to fucking do this. As his name was called by Vicktor tony made his way out onto the ice. He took a deep breath and as the music began to start up he began to let all that anxiety fade and put on his usual charm but this time it was different somehow. Maybe it was because he was actually showing his feelings instead of letting them stay dormant and hidden.
Tony began the routine he put his heart and soul into his arms and let his body become his hands as he expressed his emotions and his wants. He felt like he could fly. He lept into the air landing a perfect flip with a toe slid. He began to spin in harmony with the music and make his way back up and start moving around again. He let his movements show his past problems, his life and how he was stopped again and again only to never give up and succeed in his work. He let his arms capture his aura as they slid around his body in perfect caresses. He wanted to be loved he wanted to be cared for. But he wanted to be put in his place he wanted to be hated. He yearned for his father's love but he never received it and at this moment, as tony began to slide into a sitting spinning move he felt himself slip away and give in to his own story and become the character he knew as the locked up Prince who wished for love and adventure.
As tony heard the music come to a close he began to stand up and as he stretched his hands up to the sky as if asking why. Once it was over his mask hid away the pain that was once on his face and he made his way off the ice and into the locker rooms as quickly as possible. Yuri looked sadly into the hallway where tony had just disappeared to. "you could defiantly feel the pain of the trapped prince." yuri said then turned his head as he heard a familiar sniffle. Oh no!! VICKTOR WAS CRYING AGAIN?!, Yuri let out a eh type of squeak and flailed his arms trying to stop his husband from crying.
Evan felt himself let out a small tear. He felt so bad because he never knew what it was like to have crappy parents. Because Evan wanted to help everyone but he couldn't. He heard Vicktor call out his name, which meant it was his turn. Evan Fong is well known to play hockey so this was going to be a piece of cake for him but he wasn't worried about himself he was worried about Jonathan. Delirious had never been on the ice before if he remembered all their stories correctly. But in Practice it seems like his determination has transferred from delirious to Jonathan because he wasn't giving up. Jonathan had fallen and fallen and even Vicktor had asked Jon to stop but he begged them to let him do it. Vanoss let out a sigh and pulled on his feather covered skating outfit. This part was SO NOT NEEDED! THE RHINESTONES THE FLASHYNESS!! But... He had to get him and delirious home. He promised delirious he would but delirious had looked mad at him then. Delirious must still be mad at him but vanoss slid onto the ice and got into position. Right now he had to focus.
Jonathan felt over overwhelmed but he also felt like he had all the power in the world. Was Evan transferring his power to him? That didn't matter what mattered was how fine Evan's-NOPE gotta concentrate and watch Evan skate. Jon knew that vanoss could Ice skate but he had absolutely no idea that he could skate so gracefully. He really was an owl on the ice, his moves were calculated and graceful. He was in flight and looking for something. Most likely to find happiness and share it with everyone. That's right he knew the story Evan was dancing to. A old folk tale of a owl who searched for the answer of happiness and wished to trade it for wisdom. As Evan did a another toe flip Jon felt his heart beat faster and faster as a laugh began to bubble. He could feel Evans joy from across the rink and it made his heart absolutely burst with need. Need to protect this man, need to provide for this man, and a need to stay by his side as long as he possibly could. Evan stopped his performance with a flushed huff and his hands spread out in a "TAKE ME IF YOU DARE WORLD" type of way. Jonathan couldn't help himself "YEAH THAT'S THE WAY VANOSS!" He waved and smiled like the proud (husband) friend he was. Now if he was correct it was captain- he means Steve's turn.
Steve couldn't feel his feet. He felt like he was frozen in the ice again and he didn't know what to do. If he failed it would be on tony's shoulders and tony had way too much already on his shoulders. Steve could NOT fuck this up. He couldn't even remember his motto from dr. Esrkinstine. Wh-what was it?? "not a good man but a good soldier" no no that wasn't right. Steve felt himself hypervenilate. As his vision began to blur he let out a sigh. He made his way onto the ice and waited for his song to begin. He closed his eyes and thought of his past as his chosen music began to start.
Viktor felt his ocean blue eyes widen as he watched the soldier dance with grace and finesse. He was magestic and full of absolute angst. Vicktor felt his eyes tear up as he began to see the story the captain was portraying with his quadruple flips and passionate hand movements. A god who had to give up everything to be a god only to realize how much pressure it was to be a god. As the captain bowed in submission to his life Vicktor heard his yuri cheering the soldier on. Vicktor let out a whistle as the captain opened his eyes slowly and shyly made his way off the ice. His face was flushed from all his moves but it was mostly flushed by his embarrassment. He had never felt like just a thin little boy from Brooklyn after the serum until this moment. He felt like himself again and he felt released. Steve then realized this is what it feels like to be free.
Jon wasnt as nervous as the others were because of evan's little power boost. So he walked with confidence and with a manly hug (yeah right.)from Evan, he made his way onto the ice. He got into position. On his knees with his head down. The music starts up as he begins to pull himself up and he stands straight. (ha!) as delirious starts to slide across the ice he begins to think of his story as he does a toe out flip.
Evan has never seen his friend so graceful. But then again they haven't even met face to face before until now. Jon had the face no one would have expected but of course Evan still cared for his best friend no matter what face or voice he truly had. He loved his bestfreind and only wanted the best for him. As Jon kept dancing yuri began to speak out loud of what story the Caucasian was trying to portray. "a poor lost raccoon who has been turned away by every animal in his path until he made a friend with an unlikely bird and he promised to protect that bird with his life." yuri said as viktor began to tear up again, "POOR RACOON!" he cried as Jonathan ended his dance with a sitting spin move and his hands moving from his chest to the air infront of him as if thrusting his heart into someone's hands.
It was viktor's turn and he knew just what to dance to. He cupped his future husband's face and with a smile he said "don't take your eyes off me, dear" Yuri blushed but nodded as Vicktor slid onto the ice and got into his position as well. As promised yuri did not take his eyes off him and he felt his blush go farther and farther down his body as viktor's story was told. "an artist who has been looking for inspiration and has finally found it in a lover." yuri whispered then covered his face to hide his blush but still kept the crook of his fingers open to watch viktor like he promised. Viktor have a quadruple spin as he ended on his knees hand thrusted out as if asking yuri to join him. yuri felt his dark brown eyes shake with emotion as he stared at this man and reminded himself he once again wanted to spend his life with this man. He let out a loud whoop and screamed out his name full of joy. "VICKTOR!!!!" Vicktor rushed to his loved one and gave him a short sweet kiss then a lingering hug. "yuri... You are my insperation" he whispered. They both smiled at eachother lovingly as their two gold bands glistened in the blinding lights of the ice rink.

A/N: Harold Lloyd gif was made by yours truly! So, since Tumblr links no longer work you can find the other parts of this short series in my masterlist. And again, I encourage you guys to watch the movies and shorts I mention in this as they are all wonderful and amazing (heads up though: some of them are silent!) and all can be found on YouTube.
Tumblr media
Day three seemed to go by kinda slow and you kept watching the clock throughout the day, waiting for the time to hit when Steve and you were to drive over to the theater.
You had went out shopping a little earlier that day, going to your favorite vintage clothing shop - a place that had everything from 1920′s to 1950′s inspired clothes and dresses and found a really cute day dress that looked like it could be from the 1930′s.
Steve liked when you wore clothes like that. He would say that they look much better on you than any “modern day” style. But then again, he said anything looked good on you. You also believed that he liked it mostly because it brought him back to that period in time. And you were happy to have anything spark those memories, cuz it meant that you were in for a walk down memory lane with him and it was the best feeling both of you could have.
When it was finally time to go to the theater, Steve couldn’t believe his eyes.
“Wow, [Y/N]. You look gorgeous,” he said as he took you by the hand and turned you around to look over the dress.
“Thank you. I found it at that vintage clothes shop, the one I told you about.”
“Oh, you mean the one that you always go to?” he asked as he locked the front door behind you and escorted you to the car.
You nodded. “That’s the one. I’ll have to take you there some time. They have clothes for men there as well.”
Opening the door and gently letting you sit down in the passenger seat, Steve placed a kiss on the top of your hand. “We’ll make that our next date,” he said giving you a wink.
When you got to the theater, Steve helped you out of the car and held your hand as the two of you walked in and stood in line to get the popcorn and drinks. And when you got all your snacks for the movies, the two of you walked in to a quarter-filled theater.
“Not as bad as last night, huh?”
“Hush up,” he said and playfully nudged your arm.
Finding seats around the same area as the two previous nights, you both settled down and waited for he movie night to begin. As the night before, there was plenty of time to wait before the movies and shorts actually started which again made you need to pull out your phone and play some games on. This time you brought your earbuds with to also watch some videos on YouTube, mostly other shorts of Charlie, Buster and Harold that weren’t being played on the big screen.
When you felt Steve tap your arm then point to his ear, you removed your earbuds to hear that there was going to be a five minute delay which then you heard moans and groans from all parts of the theater, mostly from the kids. But that five minutes went by quickly.
When the lights went dark and the first film started up, you had a smile appear on your face as it was one of Laurel and Hardy’s famous silent shorts called Liberty.
The theater made have started out quiet but laughter rang out seeing Stan and Ollie in prisoner outfits being chased by a cop, getting in a get-away car and trying to change into normal clothes. Even more laughter happened when a cop started chasing the car which sent Stan and Ollie into panic mode and made them quickly get out of the car, only to find out they had each other’s pants on.
The laughter was practically non stop through out the rest of the short as Stan and Ollie keep trying to find places to change pants but had no luck and had even worse luck while they were behind a seafood restaurant with Stan having a crab fall into his pants and begin to have problems with the crab nipping his butt.
A lot of gasps and ooo’s came from the kids all over the theater as they watched Stan and Ollie somehow get stuck at the top of an unfinished building and almost fall off of it several times, due to the crab still being stuck in the pants which were now properly on Ollie.
Tumblr media
And squeaks of joy scattered throughout the place when Stan and Ollie were finally able to safely get back down on the ground.
When the lights came on for the first break to start, Steve looked over at you and smiled. You smiled back and placed your head on his shoulder, the two of you waiting quietly for the next one to start. And quickly start it did.
Your smile got even bigger seeing that it was one of your favorite Buster talking shorts called The Timid Young Man. You remembered that when you had started really getting into watching everything Buster had did, you were very hesitant with watching his talking stuff because you weren’t entirely sure if you were going to like the way he sounded. But when you heard his beautiful low, Midwestern, gruff, flat baritone voice, all your worries went out the door because hearing it made you melt into a puddle.
The audience sat in silence and watched as a girl ran out of her wedding ceremony, saying how she didn’t want to marry the man then watched the scene change as another girl gets a key to Milton’s, Buster’s character, room and wakes him up to tell him that their wedding was that day.
“Last night you said you couldn’t live without me,” the woman told him.
“Oh, I must’ve been drunk,” he replied, which made the audience burst out laughing.
The audience then watched as his butler told him to leave and go up to the mountains so he wouldn’t have to marry her. It then turned into him picking up the runaway bride on his drive out, getting into a heated standoff with another driver and finally getting to camp where the woman set everything up while Milton went fishing, which in turn had the whole theater laughing over.
Tumblr media
Plenty of laughter came and went throughout the short, especially when the driver they had met earlier wandered on to their camp and Milton tried to get rid of him by doing several different things including pouring gasoline into the man’s salad. And when the short ended and the lights came on, you could see smiles on so many faces in the theater.
Another break happened and as you and Steve sat quietly waiting for the next one to start, you felt a tap on your shoulder. Looking behind you, you saw the couple you and Steve talked to the night before. Your excitement caught Steve’s attention and he turned around also getting excited to see them. The four of you talked for a bit during the break and got quiet when the lights dimmed down.
The title card of one of Charlie’s famous silent short’s called A Dog’s Life flashed across the screen and you were in a moment of quietude. It may not have been one of his laughter filled comedies but it did have some laughs here and there.
As soon as the dog appeared on the screen, you heard so many awww’s from every corner of the theater and most of it was from the kids. But you couldn’t help but smile too as the screen stayed on the for for a bit.
But laughter started when The Tramp got busted by a cop for trying to steal a hot dog and when the cop tried to get him, The Tramp evaded him by rolling out from under the fence, untying the cop’s shoes and kicking him when the cop got stuck under the fence.
It became quiet while the audience watched The Tramp wander around looking for a job and then finding that there was one but several others wanted it as well, the laughter broke out again seeing the poor Tramp get out smarted by the others.
But when the scene came of The Tramp saving the little dog from a bunch of other dogs, all the kids in the audience whooped and cheered which then turned to more aww’s when The Tramp took care of the little dog by giving it some milk that was left over in a bottle on someone’s doorstep to drink.
Laughs came when The Tramp came across a street food vendor who had a plate of sliced bread on the counter and he started stuffing them in his mouth, only stopping when the owner turned around to suspect The Tramp of something. And laughs came again when The Tramp snuck the dog into a pub by hiding it in his oversized pants.
You nestled your head on Steve’s chest as you watched The Tramp meet a girl in the pub, quickly fall for her but then get tossed out because he had no money to pay for his tab. Steve looked down at you and placed a soft kiss on the top of your head which made you smile and sigh contently.
Watching The Tramp go back to his outdoor sleeping spot with the dog, who he named Scraps, was the most adorable thing you could ever see.
Tumblr media
But soon the movie was over with laughs happening throughout the rest of the short and it was time for a longer break.
You and Steve took turns to go to the restroom and Steve got a couple boxes of candy from the concession stand as well. Coming back, he handed you a box of Reese’s Pieces, your absolute favorite. Eyeing it like a vulture, you snatched it out of his hand and as you started to open it, all he could do was laugh.
“What’s so funny?” you asked, shoveling a handful in your mouth.
“You,” he said. “It’s almost like you’ve never had candy in your life before.” “Well, excuse me if you bring over my favorite kind. I can’t help how my mind tells my body to react upon seeing my favorite candy.”
Steve just chuckled and shook his head. Another several minutes and the lights dimmed down once again for the next movie to start.
A talking Harold Lloyd movie called Feet First started and this was another one of your favorites from Harold. After all, how could you not love how hard he tries to be the best shoe salesman possible along with his sweet and boyish voice.
The audience watched as he helped a girl who got in a bad scrap with a man after her car hit his from behind then seeing Harold and the girl both instantly fall for each other.
Steve joked that that’s not how things worked in real life which made you jab your finger in his side.
“Ow,” he whispered while flinching a bit.
“Oh, don’t be such a baby,” you whispered back and linked your arms around Steve’s arm, adjusting the way you were sitting in your seat.
Laughter came and went as the audience watched Harold meet the girl again and believe her to be the boss’s daughter, which made him want to impress her even more. And then watching as he accidentally gets stuck on a ship eventually meeting the girl again along with his boss and his wife.
Gasps from the kids throughout the theater happened when Harold escaped from the ships crew by hiding in a mailbag which then got picked up and brought ashore to New York but fell off a delivery cart onto a window cleaner's cradle, which was then hoisted upwards.
More gasps and ooo’s followed as the audience watched the bag get caught on the side of the building as Harold struggled to get out of it. But laughter soon followed as everyone watched him get out of the bag after landing on the cradle and going into panic mode, clinging tightly to it and yelling for help while the two window washers at the top of the building hoisting it up were totally oblivious to then fact that Harold was on it.
Soon it was a mix of gasps and laughter as you all watched Harold try to get into the building while also trying to not fall off, along with the cradle going up and down only causing problems for him.
Tumblr media
When the happy ending came and the movie finished, the lights came on and the last break of the night started. You decided to pull out your phone and scroll  through your social media for a bit while Steve did the same, which made the two of you show each other several different posts which made you both laugh until the final movie started.
It was another talking Buster movie, which this one also happened to be one of your top three favorites called Speak Easily. Even though most fans considered his talking movies to not be good at all, mostly due to how MGM treated him, making a character for him that acted like a total buffoon, there were still a few decent ones and this was one of them.
The audience watched as the timid and shy Professor Post, Buster’s character, was told by his assistant to get out and see the world because the Professor was such a lonely person. He told his assistant that even though he wanted to, he couldn’t afford to spend his money to indulge on “a whim”.
Giggles from all the kids throughout the theater came when the assistant gave the Professor a letter saying that he inherited $750,000 which made the Professor excited and that he decided he was going to go out and “buy companionship”. Laughter happened while you all watched the Professor pack his trunk with anything he grabbed, including his own bed.
Quietness came while the screen showed the Professor board the train, meet the manager of a dancing troupe that was on the same train and immediately fall head over heels for one of the dancers named Pansy. Aww’s filled the theater while watching the Professor take care of a baby from someone that was part of the troupe but laughter rang out when the Professor noticed his trunk wasn’t on the train and stopped it, causing an argument with the luggage man.
Gasps came from the kids as you all found out that the letter the Professor got was actually written by his assistant only to help get him out and see the world because the assistant couldn’t stand seeing the Professor be so lonely from day to day.
Laughter came and went throughout the rest of the movie as the audience watched the Professor miss his train, meet back up with the dancing troupe at the opera house and quietness fell upon the theater when the sheriff came to take the troupes things but then the Professor paid the man which then made the manager decide to let the Professor take over the show and manage it to repay him for his kindness.
More laughter came with seeing the Professor trying to direct the show so they could get it on Broadway, get somewhat flustered and tongue-tied with a spoiled actress who joined the production, incorporating new dance moves into the show, the actress “buttering up” the Professor and then seeing the two of them get drunk at her apartment. 
Even more laughter happened when both of them fell asleep in her apartment and the Professor not realizing what happened until he woke up the next morning and tried to sneak out quietly but didn’t even manage to make it out of the bedroom without waking her.
Tumblr media
As more laughs came and went through the last bit of the movie with the show being put on, the manager finding out the Professor didn’t have all that money, the show crew trying to keep the Professor away from the stage and Buster causing chaos that only he would know how to do, it was sure a delight to end the night with.
When the screen went black and the lights came on to say that night number three was over, you and Steve waited until almost everyone was gone to walk back to the car. Linking your arm to Steve’s as you slowly walked through the parking lot, you placed your head on his shoulder.
“So, can I ask you yet if you’ve been having fun with this?”
You looked up at him and giggled. “And I’ll say again, do you really have to ask? This has been one of the greatest dates we’ve done.”
He smiled at you and kissed the top of your head. “You’re exactly right.”
