[Isobel is Dan Dreiberg and Laurie Juspeczyk's daughter, open to any type of shenanigans. ]

[w e l p one holding the other captive or some weird neutral conversation?]

[Canon hero without powers but could also be played as a female take on Hawkeye. M/F for ships and somewhat current canon wise.]

[ Well.

Canonically the Marvel Universe's foremost dirt man, who has been a crook and a hero (even an Avenger). Commonly found robbing banks, uncommonly found saving the world.

Would genuinely love the idea of him teaching a kid to be a super crook. ]

[Go ahead and set the scene~ I'm game!]

Oh my god.

[ Spoken in a tone that is a perfect mixture of surprise and awe, Flint looks on in horror...

And pride, as his daughter holds a car over her head.

It was a mixed bag moment. On one hand he had promised Sandy she could join him on a job when she could do exactly that in the faulty dad logic that giving your kid a task you didn't think they could do had landed hundreds of homes with puppies. On the other hand, he'd wanted to drag her into 'the business.' He was stuck with the terrible choice of breaking a promise to his daughter or putting her in harm's way.

But overwhelmingly the pride of seeing the fruits of their practice made his slack jawed expression soon sprout a radiant smile. Going out into the quarry, cracking stones. Learning the secrets to transforming on the fly, just changing small pieces. Moving stones not part of her body. Other tricks. As well as more normal work outs- more flesh and blood to transform meant more stone.

And absolutely most importantly, how to stick her pieces back together. He'd put a lot of emphasis on that one. ]

You did it! Holy cow, you did it!

[ His arms expand and shift hovering just beside the car- not taking the weight from her but ready to catch it if she slipped. Part of him hopes she does- then he could maybe use it as an excuse to keep her from joining him in a heist. ]

H-Haha...HAHAHA!

[She sounded every bit as shocked as he was at first before she started laughing. Her tiny stone chest heaving with giggles as her legs shook and she almost lost her grip on the car. There was a crunch of steel as her fingers dug into the axel, something that would cost a pretty penny to repair. Good thing it wasn't her car.]

I'd like to see Spider-girl do this without her webs!

[Of course any member of the spider family was probably able to do that with a little effort but Sandy was having her moment. Her knees had started to buckle but after a deep breath and a grunt she was standing up again keeping it balanced overhead with both hands.]

...I don't know how to get rid of this.

[Lifting was one thing, throwing was the next lesson.]

Okay, yer not out of the woods yet- when you got it above yer head, you plant your feet-

[ He demonstrates, turning his own body to heavy stone to better illustrate. Putting his feet down hard enough to crack the ground and sink them in a little. ]

Then you turn your whole upper body at the waist, keep your arms straight-

[ Whilst keeping his elongated arms hovering nearby for safety, he just sprouts himself a brand new pair to show her how it's done. ]

Then snap, quick as a whip! Give it all you got, turn and toss! Don't forget to shove off with your wrists.

[ Good thing there's nothing to fear wrecking in the abandoned quarry- though he'd have to steal them a new car to get home. ]

OK...alright. Plant my feet.

[She took another breath and felt her feet sink into the ground, smoother then how her father had done it. No cracks but rather it looked like a statue of a girl had just sprouted out of the ground holding up a car. The first time she'd sunk into the ground like this she'd gotten stuck and had to dig herself out.]

Turning...turning...careful.

[She twisted trying to keep her wrists from bending too far, so focused on her form that she wasn't even thinking of the next step which would involve aiming.]

TURN AND TOSS!

[ She turned alright, and the car went flying right for Flint. She gasped realizing all too late she'd aimed terrible and even though in the back of her mind she knew he'd be OK, she still gasped and lost her focus on her feet causing the ground gripping her ankles to turn to mud. She jerked forward awkwardly and fell flat on her face.]

[ Current vampiric supervillain or semi reformed anti-hero...? ]

(F/F for shipping - open otherwise.

She's a pirate queen, but can be an antihero.]

[ I love comics and superheroes. Fight me.

For this meme, I can play Han as a side-kick to a more powerful friend or we can give people from the SW verse force powers who doesn’t normally have them as an AU. Whatever. It’s all for fun. ]

cheerful teen girl here, not a hero in canon but some kind of apprentice theme would be fun?

[Either regular civilian having Dreams (and hoping he manifests powers), or a new hero working on both powers and fame. Probably needs a mentor.]

[Has powers, has training... prefers to be a civilian most of the time. Not above using his powers to prank people.]

[Somewhere between supervillain and anti-hero. But don't tell him he's not the hero!]

[She's great on a team and could easily be the local Q, can go either way on having powers.]

[Absolutely, positively a super-powered criminal.

Either it's a full-on AU where he's always had the standard "Flying Brick" package and he uses his powers to be a classic supervillian, OR it's something much closer to canon where he was normal until his accident/coma left him with some kind of ~mysterious ability~. Bonus points if said ability is something passive and antithetical to his persona, like telepathy or healing.]

[ Set on the path to becoming a professional hero, he's well learned, talented, and capable of manipulating both fire and ice. Gen only, please! (Voicetesting as well, so apologies for any slow replies). ]

[you know who he is.]

[ Pulling this asshole out. Major trigger warnings; check out details on journal. ]

((I have Jiaying here from the Agents of SHIELD side of MCU. Her actual age is 90-ish but she looks like she's permanently in her 30s. She's an inhuman who can absorb another person's life force to use to keep herself young and recover from injuries.

If this sounds good for you? I'm okay with any of triggers and/or things going dark. She hates humans in general but tends to get other people to do her dirty work for her. I figure they could run into each other and try to wreak havoc?))

[ And just like that, Jaiying and Kilgrave were set upon the streets of Manhatten, now no longer dead, and with a divine mandate emblazoned upon their persons.

Kilgrave rubbed the mark on his arm, a faintly glowing mark of a scythe. ]

Death's a bitch.

[ It was funny because Death was apparently a woman. ]

Edited 2018-06-10 23:58 (UTC)

[She nurses the one on her arm, clearly unhappy and clearly not laughing at his joke.]

A new life is pointless if she expects us to save it.

[Save humans? Her? It's ludicrous.]

Not a silver lining type, I take it.

[ Kilgrave? He liked living. Living was fun. Dying wasn't fun. Dying sucked. He thought dying again was a bad idea. ]

I actually tried to be 'good' once. I thought I was rather good at it. Not good enough for Jessica, but what is?

[ Don't kill murderers? How impractical. ]

There's no such thing as 'good'. It's a facade.

[One used for manipulation and deceit]

[ What an unpleasant woman. ]

What happened to you to make you so sour? Get murdered by the one person you love the most?

[ Like he did? ]

[She soured even more at the question. But if they were stuck together she might as well be honest about that]

Yes.

[I have this guy from Crimson Peak. IDK if you are familiar with his canon. He was abused by his sister, he would marry women for their money and then they would kill them. He's very tortured and susceptible. I also have a dark F if you prefer?]

[ Canonblind! I suck at m/m, but we could do gen or some other interesting scenarios. Did you habe anything in mind? ]

[Can do gen or I have females. I was thinking he could corrupt Thomas and use him in some way?]

[ Watched the trailer! Any ideas for super powers or why he's in a modern setting? ]

[I was thinking that we could steal from the Captain America universe, a little, maybe someone took Thomas and iced him and use him for things and Kilgrave finds out about it? Wants him for his own nefarious purposes? The two work together and they do terrible things for their own enjoyment, at least in Thomas' mind, but in reality he is under the power of Kilgrave?]

[Part of the state sanctioned police with a Black Widow-esque skillset. Doesn't really like any of these superheroes, but has to work with them anyway. But is open to a lotta things powered or no.]

[A merc that can be hired by good guys, bad guys or whatever with extensive gun and combat skill and a mild touch of kinetic manipulation in the things she throws.]

[A sort of questionable citizen with emotional manipulation powers. Not concerned with saving the world, just using her powers to get what she wants.]

[Grubby street kid with a knife and ill precognition skills. Just trying to survive, but can get into bigger things.]
