6/3 evening - private - mass text;

[sexandoutrage]

Just a friendly reminder, folks, that our friendly neighborhood alien chucklehead is watching us. Lock your messages, people, even if it's only vaguely important. And if you don't trust that, do it in person.

If he shows up to movie night I'm going to be very disappointed in all of you.

[Private]

[widows_kiss]

Uh oh. Do I want to ask what spawned this friendly reminder?

[Private]

[sexandoutrage]

This friendly reminder is brought to you by the fact that it was confirmed by Loki that he's pretty much mouth breathing on everything we do.

[Private]

[widows_kiss]

Maybe he's just mad that you didn't invite him to movie night personally.

[Private]

[sexandoutrage]

Well, maybe next time I will, and he can sit next to you.

[Private]

[widows_kiss]

Maybe we can show him the Grinch.

[Private]

[sexandoutrage]

Animated or Jim Carey.

Re: [Private]

[widows_kiss]

Animated. Mostly because I still refuse to watch Jim Carey.

[Private]

[sexandoutrage]

Great call, actually. Also, for the record, this is not enamoring me to the idea of him deciding he can hang out with us.

[Private]

[widows_kiss]

I didn't think it would. Then again, I'm not sure there's anything that can accomplish that just yet.

[Private]

[sexandoutrage]

Yet? There's a YET?

Re: [Private]

[widows_kiss]

Tony. There's ALWAYS a yet.

[Private]

[sexandoutrage]

Maybe for super spies and government agencies. Not me.

Re: [Private]

[widows_kiss]

Maybe if you didn't keep hanging out with us super spies and government agencies, that would remain true.

Besides not even you could have factored in a monkey wrench like Wonderland tossed into the mess.

[Private]

[sexandoutrage]

Hey, if you'll remember, you guys stuck to me like the gift I never wanted, not the other way around.

[Not mentioning, of course, that whole thing where they dropped off the stuff his father had left with them, and it being the reason he's still upright.]

And while I might not have predicted Wonderland, no, what I DO know is that considering making the Norse GOD OF MISCHIEF a team player is a very bad idea.

[Private]

[widows_kiss]

Funny. I told Fury the same thing about you.

[Private]

[sexandoutrage]

Yeah, I know. I read the...What was it? Assessment.

But unlike certain crazycakes demigods I could name, I've never actually tried to take over a planet I'm not even from.

[He doesn't even go here, okay.

Re: [Private]

[widows_kiss]

Somehow I'm not sure he's much of a team player anyway. And there's too much bad blood. It's personal, for all of us. At the same time, I'm not convinced that a common cause or a common enemy couldn't make him a valuable ally, if only for a time. I think we should be careful in picking our fights here.

[Private]

[sexandoutrage]

Hey, that's your thing, not mine. You want to play nice with him, go for it. I'm gonna reserve judgement. I mean, he threw me off my balcony. We're not what you'd call friendly.

Re: [Private]

[widows_kiss]

He brainwashed and used my partner. He killed my handler and one of the people I owe my life to more times than I can count. He tried to blow up an airship I was on, nearly got me killed by rage incarnate and partially demolished the city I now call home and hundreds of innocents in it. He led an alien army into a world that had never done anything to him, just because he had a bone to pick with his adopted brother.

Friendly is not on the table here.

[Private]

[sexandoutrage]

And all of that is why I have no intention of playing nice, neutral, or otherwise with him now or ever.

Besides, he cornered Pepper when we first got here. He shot his load before he ever got it near me.

Re: [Private]

[widows_kiss]

There was a mental image I didn't need.

Look, I'm just saying sometimes situations change. Threats change. And the person you were planning on putting a bullet through the day before is suddenly the only one who can save your ass tomorrow. We're at a disadvantage here. I just think we should keep some options open. Even if they are utterly distasteful.

[Private]

[sexandoutrage]

Alright, fine. Besides, that sounds like a job for super spies. We genius engineers are gonna stick to what we know, and get cracking on going home.

Deal?

Re: [Private]

[widows_kiss]

Deal. If you do find someone or something for me to shoot, however, let me know. There's not a whole lot of jobs for super spies piling up around here.

[Private]

[sexandoutrage]

You could, I don't know, actually be a spy. You're good at that act.
