Tolstoy will live forever. Some people do. But that’s not enough. It’s not the length of a life that matters… just the depth of it. The chances we take. The paths we choose. How we go on after our hearts break. Hearts always break. And so we bend with our hearts, and we sway, but in the end… what matters is that we loved… and lived.
@viudanegraaa is it okay to tag you in this nonsense
It hits Steve like a bolt out of the blue one day.
Tony is texting him about–everything, really, from his robots to where they’re going to go out for dinner after Tony beats him at basketball to the Next Big Thing he’s working on that should probably be Top Secret but he trusts Steve so implicitly that it doesn’t enter his mind to hide it. Steve has never had anyone trust him as much as Tony does. Hell, even Bucky has hidden things from him. And he trusts Tony just as much.
So he types “I’m going to marry you” before he even really thinks about it. He stares at his phone. They’re not even technically dating but he knows he’s going to marry Tony someday.
Tony’s response is slow but exactly what Steve expected. “No ones going to marry me I’m a handful.” Tony would think that. He was much too critical of himself.
“I am,” Steve insists, and then, before Tony can argue, adds, “I have two hands don’t worry.”
“You’re such a goober Steve,” Tony responds after a while.
It’s not an acceptance. It’s not a denial either, though.
(“Would Tony wear a ring or would it be too dangerous,” Steve asks Natasha later.
She sighs and doesn’t look up from her magazine. “If you were the one who gave it to him, I think he would risk the degloving to wear it.”
“I’m gonna marry him,” Steve tells her.
“Keep in mind that Tony’s a spring bride and you should be golden,” Natasha answers.
Steve looks at her for a long time. “You could look a little more surprised.”
“Everyone knows you’re in love with each other except for you two idiots,” Natasha scoffs.)
Nick Fury is the security advisor to SHIELD Corporation and CEO Alexander Pierce’s best friend. When Pierce informs him of a potential take-over due to stolen plans and secrets from the company, Fury comes up with the idea of stealing them back. He gathers exceptional people from the unspoken fields to form a unique team of cons led by Captain Rogers, a good man out for revenge from Hydra International for his past. When Fury discovers a dangerous twist to SHIELD’s situation, he is taken out and the team he brought together is put in danger. In the face of threat, this team of loners and cons decides to fight back. To con those who conned them. One win leads to the idea of doing more and the cons decide to use their skills for something more than just money. They decide to avenge those who have been conned by the powerful. They decide to be the Avengers – criminals with an essence of justice.After all, a little re-con hurt only those who deserved to be hurt, right?
I told you all that I would do an Avengers version of Leverage 😛
