Not even sunrise, Wednesday morning

[heroic_jawline]

Steve was an obnoxiously perky morning person, even when (like tonight. He'd fallen into a Wikipedia hole) he hadn't slept for more than a few hours.

He stretched his legs out at the bottom of one of the endless sets of stairs in Fandom, singing (badly) under his breath: "First to fight for the right, and to build the nation's might...and the Army goes rolling along--"

He grinned over at his partner. "Ready?"

[OOC: For the guy who can fly so he doesn't have to run, probably, but open to anyone else up at an ungodly time to run!]

Comments

"I know two yous with their name on a building," Steve said, "so I'm thinking this might be limited to you and that guy running for president."

[imafuturist]

"Wow, comparing me to corporate Hitler. That hurts."

If Trump won, he really would turn super villain.

[heroic_jawline]

"Think if I socked ol' Donald on the jaw I'd get a lecture or a medal of commendation?" Steve asked. "I found some interesting web pages. I've been educating them on how World War II really worked."

He'd been starting internet flamewars, Tony.

[imafuturist]

Which probably meant JARVIS was busy trying to hide the IP address to keep things from coming back to the shop. He worried like that.

"Probably both," Tony replied dryly. "Oh god, did you find Neo-Nazi sites?"

[heroic_jawline]

"Yeah," Steve said. "They're just so wrong."

And on the internet! They are wrong on the internet, Tony.

[imafuturist]

"Yes they are," Tony assured him. "And anyone with a brain knows it. Just promise me to not read the comment section on any website."

The genie was already out of the bottle, Tony.

[heroic_jawline]

"Too late," Steve said, wincing. "It's also too late to tell me about SafeSearch on Google before looking myself up."

[imafuturist]

"Damn it, JARVIS." Worst net nanny ever. It probably didn't help that he measured levels of internet wrong with Tony. "If you start sending me cat memes, I'm going to be both proud and frightened."

A beat.

"Oh god, send them to SHIELD."

TONY NO.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve smirked. "Too late. Hill isn't that amused by a cat playing a piano. Natasha sent back a guinea pig with a pancake on its head."

[imafuturist]

"I don't think Hill has any sense of humor," Tony replied with a sigh. "And you've completely ruined the Black Widow's mystique there."

He'd always picture that guinea pig now. Instead of being a little scared and into it.

[heroic_jawline]

"Then she sent me a Buzzfeed list of '27 Ways the Black Widow Could Kill You Using Just This Desk Drawer' and added twenty more," Steve added.

[imafuturist]

"I'm almost surprised there aren't more," Tony said. "So you and Ms. Romanoff, huh?"

And he had to say it with a terrible Russian accent too.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve's ears went red. "No, nothing like that. I think we're friends. Kind of."

[imafuturist]

Consider it Tony's revenge for the morning.

"Friends are good," Tony granted him, grinning with pride. "You not sure?"

[heroic_jawline]

"Well, it's Natasha," Steve said with a little shrug. "She's never really playing it straight, is she?"

[imafuturist]

"Point." And she wasn't even a double agent with HYDRA in Steve's universe! "Clint knows her best. At least where I'm from they were partners."

A beat.

"Of course, that's why he ended up in prison..."

[heroic_jawline]

"Clint went to prison?" Steve gaped.

[imafuturist]

"He was framed," Tony readily admitted in Clint's defense. "But yeah. I shot him while he was escaping. Good times."

[heroic_jawline]

"Oh, you told me about that when we first met. I was a little shell-shocked at the time," Steve said, biting into a jelly donut.

[imafuturist]

"Can't guess why," Tony teased, taking another pastry to keep Steve from eating all of it.

[heroic_jawline]

He was making a pretty sizable dent in the pile, true.

"It was a very long...month," Steve said with a rueful laugh.

[imafuturist]

One if these days Tony was going to take him to a buffet to watch how it went.

"Weird," Tony agreed. "And now look at you. Yelling at Nazis online and finding porn."

His little Steve was growing up!

[heroic_jawline]

"I'm becoming very 21st Century," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

Tony laughed at that, snagging another pastry to just keep close while he finished the one he had. "You're still you. It's just catching up, not changing you into something else."

[heroic_jawline]

"Well, arguing on the internet definitely cuts down on the black eyes and bloody noses," Steve said. "Bucky'll be happy."
