[ Hey look who the revolution dragged in. ]

Really? I'm gone for a few days and you guys tear the City apart? Not that I'm not totally worthy of drunken riots, this just all looks a little too dystopian for my future. Was this because of the heart stuff, because while I admit this is a little literal, you know, might wanna hold off on all the fighting until the internal organs are starting on the inside, at least.

At least it's just further cardiological proof in the first place.

filter (avengers + pepper):
I actually think I've seen the whole movie now. ET gets grounded and taken back home at the end, right?

filter (pepper):
You home?

Well that doesn't matter. Only that he left and I have it now.

Banner has asked for it as well, you two might need to coordinate so Luke and I might bring it together to both of you.

Permavideo

[fe_male]

Coordination done: you and Luke bring it to CS now and we'll meet you there. Deal?

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

Deal.

We... did not do this maliciously. We wanted to make things better.

Permavideo

[fe_male]

I figured, but you still can't have it. Mass destruction when the intent was good is the reason we've been testing the hell out of it.

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

I know. On both counts.

I do not think it would work on the curses, either way, since it did not work on the deities at all.

Had anyone else done this, they'd not have half the blame we have been given.

Permavideo

[fe_male]

I have no idea about that, given that I missed the whole thing. You're probably right though. Like how anyone who plays any Axis or Central power from the last seventy years gets knocked out of their tabletop game first. [ /shrug ]

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

I have no idea what that means. But I shall take it for something supportive.

Permavideo

[fe_male]

Good job.

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

We shall bring the scepter forthwith.

Permavideo

[fe_male]

I'll meet you downstairs. Bruce is busy with an experiment.

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

By experiment do you mean he might get angry upon sight of us and pound us into a Loki flavored smear on the floor?

We'll be there momentarily.

action.

[fe_male]

[ Tony is, indeed, downstairs to meet them whenever they arrive. He's playing on his device but he looks up when they arrive. ]

And to the nonparticipants go the ill-gotten scepters. And yes, that was what I meant.

action.

[doeswhathewants]

[Serrure is holding onto half the scepter, it is impossible to let go, impossible to stop until he has given it to Tony.

Such an irksome feeling, needing to do something that one actually neither wants nor needs to do.]

Ill gotten? It was gotten quite on the level, I assure you. And now you shall have it.

action.

[infernoandhearth]

[And Luke, naturally, has the other half. This is not going as planned. Again.]

The first time. Take it, Tony.

action.

[fe_male]

[ He don't really like being handed things, so it doesn't count at all if he sort of reaches out and grabs both pieces from the two of them, looking down at how they fit back together and then back up at the two of them. ]

Thanks. For, uh. Being civil and stuff. About it.

action.

[doeswhathewants]

We kind of cannot help it. [Just the flattest of looks as he lets it go and shoves his hands in the pocket of his bright yellow hoodie.]

action.

[fe_male]

[ and finally realization dawns.

and it's kind of hilarious. ]

Deities?

action.

[infernoandhearth]

Deities. I need that back, actually.

[Just gonna. Snatch that out of Tony's hands and HE'S OFF before anyone can be like Stop! or Give that back! or something.]

action.

[doeswhathewants]

He has to go give that to Banner. [Serrure says this conspiratorially.]

I suppose we shall hear the siren song of smashing if things go awry. You will understand if I hide behind you.

action.

[fe_male]

What the hell. Why does he have to give it to Bruce? He did get the whole, smash vibe warning that you had earlier, right?

action.

[doeswhathewants]

That's Banner's baby mama. I think he gets to go boldly where others fear tread.

Besides, Banner asked Luke to bring it to him. The punishment is to follow things literally. Which, if you consider what could be done from being compelled to follow most any orders of everyone, well...

action.

[fe_male]

[ Oh, well. Yeah. ]

Yeah that would get out of hand pretty fast. I'll even be magnanimous and nice and not test what you've just said by giving you an order. Call it a welcome home gift, even if those go in the other direction.

How long's it last?

action.

[doeswhathewants]

That is rather generous and might I just say, you are my favorite Avenger. Truly. Even after that time your counterpart almost blasted me in my universe.

[He actually means it. Really.]

Two weeks. It shall last two weeks.

action.

[fe_male]

[ Well, half of it is 'not creating problems for myself in the future it's this new thing i'm trying to learn'. ]

What's not to love, right? Aside from the actions of some of my alternates. Still the prettiest.

[ ouch. ]

Well, good luck with that and all. Keep it on the DL, I guess. If you want to live.

action.

[doeswhathewants]

[Gallic shrug.] There is no point in attempting to be silent. The deities have already informed us they will announce the punishment. Likely as a deterrent to future insurrections and riots and the like.

[Arches a brow.] Right. Something like that. [Leah is pretty. You have too much facial hair.]
