What is this thing you call "love?"

[sneaks]

How to Love No matter how straightforward it may seem, the human emotion of "love," especially true, unconditional love, is complex and often hard to understand. All that forgiveness, all that dedication, all that light in the dark - how can one person have all that inside of them? You don't understand that, possibly because you're not a human. You're a calculating robot, an alien with a completely different frame of reference, or an artificially created being told only to feel certain ways. If you are a human, however, that doesn't necessarily clue you in to all the secrets of affection. Cold, uncaring assassins, brutal warriors, ruthless womanizers and maneaters, or the just plain broken can often feel like robots among their own kind. But you want that to change. You have a stirring in your chest for someone and you want to know what love is so you can make them happy. This is the first time you've ever wanted to do so and be so unselfish. Hopefully, they can be a good teacher and help you open up, getting you both closer... ...or you could end up with someone as inexperienced as you. Well, there is something to be said about learning together. Comment with your character, preferences, and what side you'll be playing (learning, teaching, whatever you'd like). Reply to others. Do the thing.

[Yes, of course! I'm good with either too! Ladies' choice!]

hope a 'during cw' is okay!

[She's getting a bit stir-crazy.

Normally, Wanda doesn't mind staying indoors, but it's the knowing that she can't go out that gets to her. It's like being six-years-old again, grounded and stuck in her bedroom, but the circumstances for her lockdown are due to reasons more severe than simply feeding her mother's kholodets to a stray cat.

She deserves it, she supposes, and it's for everyone's own safety, she reasons--until the Accords are signed and tensions are soothed. And at least she isn't alone; although he's essentially playing the part of babysitter, she finds that Vision's presence is an added comfort to her captivity. Which is probably the reason why Tony assigned him to act as a safeguard while everyone else is away (beyond the fact that he may be the only one equipped to 'handle' her in terms of powers), but she'll ignore that for her own sake. She likes Vision, and would rather keep thinking of him as a friend and teammate instead of...whatever role he's been assigned to mitigate the mess she had a large part in.

As of now, she's decided to retreat to her room to find something to do to distract herself. She's read, watched some television to keep her connected to the goings-on elsewhere, and now she's sitting cross-legged on her bed, hunched over her guitar and plucking random chords out to give her fingers something to do, trying to drown out the silence of a near-empty facility. Perhaps she can pretend she's here because she wants to be, not because she has to be.]

Yes! It's A-okay!

[voicedbyjarvis]

[He volunteered for this (even if Tony made it sound like he was the one asking Vision to stay with Wanda), not thinking that his intentions might be misread. He meant well, thinking that the young woman might feel less of a prisoner if it was him that stayed with her. But he knew now that it had not been the best idea, and after she ate the pizza they ordered, Vision had given Wanda some space, trying to respect the fact that she seemed angry with him, or so he thought.

It's the sound of music that stirs his curiosity: he's noticed in the past the guitar in Wanda's room, but he has never had the chance to hear her play yet. His interest gets the best of him, and Vision walks over to her room, careful to use the doorway instead of phasing through the wall.]

This is the first time I have heard you play the guitar [he states obviously, though he simply means to start a conversation. He is not a fan of the silence either.]

(Medical leave timeline as discussed)

Kristen had been on leave since the shooting for only a few days but this trip had opened her eyes on every level. She and Tony were in the same boat when it came to mature relationships: mostly bad luck for him and her ex being abusive. So while on the sofa watching him make a late dinner she made a observation,"I like to think its fate, how one night on a Bond site can bring two people with the worst romantic luck together." but she was smiling now. She had already made plans to transfer to DCPD once a position opened up so she was much happier knowing Gotham would be behind her soon enough.

Jack knew something was wrong the second he entered the apartment. He was old enough to sense tension in the air. "Tony," he calls keeping his tone light and teasing. "You around...and decently naked?"

sorry i wrote a novel >>

[bifroster]

[Being a brainy person had its perks.

Being a brainy person had a lot more downfalls and problems than a lot of people wanted to admit, even those people who were closest to them. Put that together with too much curiosity and a lot of bad luck? Well, it was a recipe for disaster. Jane knew this all too well—but she would do it all over again if she had to. She helped save the world, traveled across an Einstein-Rossen bridge, and went to Asgard. Yawning, she popped a number of joints as she stood up from her desk. Three months ago, she rejected a position in SHIELD. If Coulson was still there, she would have considered joining, but luckily for her, Stark Industries gave her a second option.

Like she could say no to an opportunity to that.

In those months, she had developed some habits: more coffee, more late nights in the lab working on something, and checking on Tony here and there. So much had happened to all of them that it was beginning to feel like they were part of some secret club. Aliens and all of their ancient evils.

Stifling another yawn, she easily finds Tony’s lab and is not surprised to see him still awake, some tool in his hand.]

Hey, Tony. What has you up at this hour?

[What time was it anyways?]

[Jane, like anyone else, was awed when they first saw Captain America. Why wouldn’t they? The last few generations had only grown up with stories of his amazing feats, the missions he and his team had accomplished, and the mark he left on history. If anything, a lot of it was probably blown out of proportion and the real details were lost with those who lived them.

She spotted him in a café she had come to like in the last few weeks since she had moved to New York. After Thor was unable to come back due to the Bifrost being destroyed, she had to continue on with her work and it took her to the Big Apple (maybe she could get half a chance to pick Tony Stark's brain). However, that awe lasted for all of one minute. The café was crowded, people were itching to get their work day started so it would be done sooner. Someone was bound to get pushy.]

Oh my god! Are you okay?

[Super solider or no, hot coffee spilled all over someone's chest was still hot coffee.]
