They look like they’re at a meeting with the teacher and she just told them Jack Francis Jr. Punched a kid in class and they “don’t know why” but they both know their kid is bullied and he just defended himself and don’t buy any of the school’s shit
“ “Frank Castle died.” He walked up to her, placing his hands
right next to her cutting board. Elektra looked up from the cheese she was
preparing, and without looking down stabbed one on the end of her knife and
brought it to her mouth.
“Well I hope he’s not dead,” She said
with a smile, “Because I’m going to need his help.” ,,
In the ideal modern lotr au, all locations should have an eery, abandoned vibe (like they do in the books). The kind of locations you stumble over on a road trip and are haunted by for the rest of your life.
Tom Bombadil’s house as an old tourist trap that hasn’t been altered since the 70s run by a too-friendly owner and his suspiciously beautiful wife.
Weathertop as a giant factory that became redundant decades ago and was left to rot.
Rivendell as a breathtakingly beautiful hotel that was fully booked every night in its heydey, but now is lucky to have more than two guests at a time.
Moria as an abandoned subway system… but is it abandoned?
Lothlórien as a fairytale themed amusement park built in the 50s that went out of business and was reclaimed by nature.
Nate is a reluctant vampire who got turned in the same
incident that killed his son. He only goes after bad guys, and he’s never
killed anyone (that he knows of) but substance abuse is substance abuse, and
the fact that he can’t look in a mirror and see how bad he looks gives Sophie
many a fretful morning of “You were out again all night, I can see it. You didn’t
even wash up” accompanied by grouchy grunts from a freshly-self-loathing Nate.
Eliot is a were-creature of some kind. No one knows what,
because no one who’s seen him fully transformed has lived to tell the tale.
Those who have seen glimpses just know there are a lot of teeth involved. A lot of teeth.
Parker isn’t quite girl and she isn’t quite ghost. She’s
stuck halfway between – the result of not getting out of a certain exploding
house quickly enough as a child – which makes snacking a task sometimes (and
kissing even more so) but the perks are worth it. Being able to literally walk
through walls has made her the world’s greatest thief.
Hardison is human. Completely and totally. But in a world
where vanilla humans are often prey, he’s learned to defend himself with a
grasp of both technology and actual magic that rightfully earn him the title “wizard.”
He frequently uses fictional mages as aliases and Eliot will never let him live
down the time a flustered “Agent Gandalf” got laughed out of an FBI field
office.
Sophie is fey – as fey as they come. No one knows how old
she is (and no one dares ask) and while her acting skills leave much to be
desired (the fey can’t actually lie, after all), when she casts a glamour it
takes a strong mind to see anything other than exactly what she wants them to
see.
Oh man, can you imagine. Nate used to work for The Crown, but after the death of his son he can’t deal with all the back room deals and rich people getting away with stuff and he’s like: FUCK IT, life of crime it is. We’re gonna steal your loot and make sure you pay for being dicks to ordinary people.
There are many legends of Pirate Queens around the globe. What noone realises is that three of them are all Sophie. (One legend of a dread pirate king is also Sophie.)
Eliot has done some bad things for bad people. When he finally managed to flee from the service of the Dread Pirate Moreau, he tries to keep a low profile. He can’t exactly go straight, his face is on too many Wanted Posters (he may have a Very Distinctive scar), and even long haul fishermen have to go to port eventually. Eliot is the reason nobody on the ship has died of scurvy. He can even make Parker eat her vegetables.
Hardison is always fiddling with new navigation equipment. Hell, he’s built more accurate compasses just because he can. There’s a reason they manage to outrun any ship the Crown sends after them. A lot of the jobs they pull is helping escaped slaves. The young ones get dropped off at his Nana’s, who never questions where Alec got all that gold. She just scolds him that he needs a clean shirt and a hot meal.
Parker has been on ships since she was very, very young. Archie caught her trying to pickpocket him and promptly decided to make her his ‘cabin boy’. Once she was too old to be passed off as a boy, she was already such a fierce pirate that nobody questioned her. She does all the rigging. Nate really wishes she’d stop jumping off the crows’ nest. The more superstitious pirates whisper that she can control the weather. She never has any sea-legs problems.
The dinghy is named Lucille. They’re on their fourth one already.
Sterling, of course, works for the Crown and is still a smarmy bastard.
Coming back from a solo mission, Clint invites Natasha over promising a meal that won’t kill them both. After much debating with himself, he decides to give Natasha something he bought for her a while back. He tries to make it sound like a joke, but lowkey hopes she likes it. Natasha pretends she’s completely unfazed by the gift and acts like it’s ordinary business, but she’s lowkey pleasantly surprised and also kind of moved. After that, they both act like it never happened.They know the other knows they’re lying, though. So that’s okay.
When Vision hits a wall in his research project, Tony suggests that he find a partner. Vision resists and drives quite a few candidates away, but maybe a Miss Maximoff may be up for the challenge?
