come and get your love
①Comment with your character. Feel free to intruce yourself real quick if you'd like! This meme is open to Marvel characters of all iterations, not just the MCU!
② Pick a scenario or use RNG and respond to others!
③ PLEASE MARK FOR INFINITY WAR SPOILERS. We want this to be a fun place for everyone to play without fear of being spoiled! In the same vein, feel free to let others know if you are Infinity War compliant!
④ Feel free to go completely off-script and make up whatever scenario you want. These prompts are just starting points! This meme is your oyster.
⑤ Have fuuuun!
① Skrull Invasion → You're on planet Earth and the Skrull are coming! Are you ready to fight? Perhaps the better question is...are you really sure your friends are who you think they are?ANGST
② Sparring → There's few better ways to see what you're made of than to face off against your fellow heroes! Enter the sparring ring and give it all you've got. Or perhaps you wind up facing an old friend in the Grandmaster's Contest of Champions!
③ Chitauri Assault → Time to take down hordes and hordes of alien goons! Maybe they brought their space whales, too. They're bringing the party to you!
④ In Pursuit → Your enemies are fleeing and it's up to you to pursue them and bring them to justice!

⑦ Mind Control → Against their will, one of your comrades has begun to attack you! Will you fight back and possibly harm someone you hold dear? Or will you stand down and open yourself up to danger?
⑧ Escape → You've been captured by your enemies! Or perhaps The Collector just added you to his museum. Time to find a way out!
① Fallout → Heroism exacts a price, and it is often personal in nature. How do you cope with the fallout of your latest conflict? Was victory worth the price you paid? Or worse, did you lose?CRACK
② Injury/Illness → Even for the strongest of heroes, the battlefield can be tough. How's that broken arm healing up? That serious road rash? Or are you the one providing healing and comfort to one in need?
③ Last Moments → Somehow has gone terribly wrong and you are dying. What will you say? What will you do? Or perhaps you are the one holding your comrade in their final moments.
④ Betrayed → One of your teammates has betrayed you. How will you respond? Will you reach out and try to forgive, or will you fight the one you used to call an ally?

⑦ Loss → You've lost. It's over. Maybe you're the only one left. Or...maybe you're not.
① Speed-heroing → It's like speed-dating, but with heroes and friends, at the Avengers Facility. A possible catch: you can only introduce yourself as your alter ego.FLUFF
② Dance Off → Maybe the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Maybe you're just having a good time at a party. Either way, dance off, bro!
③ Team Building → Nothing boosts team morale like an outing to laser tag or paint ball! It's important to unwind every now and again, so why not shoot your super friends with a nerf gun for a change?
④ Party Bus → Are you up for a ride on Tony Stark's most technologically advanced party bus? Hope you're prepared to party like it's 2099. Also, it flies. Eat your heart out, Miss Frizzle.
⑤ Interdimentional Mixer → You're at this party but none of the people are the versions of themselves you expect them to be! What sort of timey-wimey tomfoolery is this? Why do all these universes have numbers?
⑥ Trapped in the Drive-thru → You're trapped in the drive-thru. All you wanted was an Egg McMuffin, dammit!
⑦ Truth Serum → You're forced to tell the truth! That secret you've been bottling up for years? Yup, it's coming out.

⑦ Hobby Exchange → Teach someone about a hobby you enjoy and they can teach you about one of theirs!
① Trip to Knowhere → Get ready to gamble and drink yourself dizzy! And if that's not your cup of tea, perhaps visit the Collector's Museum, where you are sure to see all sorts of strange specimens from across the galaxy.WILDCARD
② Shawarma → After any great battle, a hero must have their victory feast. Who's on the shawarma bandwagon this time?
③ New York Tourism → You're in New York! Whether this is your first time or you live here, there's plenty to see. Why not hit up the Statue of Liberty? Go to a Broadway show? Take a pic with Times Square Spider-Man?
④ Beach Party → It's the Beach Episode. Put on your swim trunks, get out the volleyball, and fire up the grill!
⑤ Late Night → You're up late and wondering around HQ. Do you stop in the kitchen for some midnight baking? Take a walk outside? Reprogram the whole facility so the AI only responds to your voice?

A scenario of your choosing! Go wild! Please remember to mark for spoiler warnings and/or any content warnings as applicable.
we were meant to be obvs
It's been a short time, indeed, since everything's been corrected and those who had been taken (killed, Peter's mind fills in numbly) were returned to their rightful places in the galaxy. But he hadn't had a chance to see Dr. Strange watching him — you know. Vanish. Evaporate? Peter had admittedly been drowning in anxiety and panic when it had happened, so focused on the terrible feeling curdling his stomach that he barely registered that everyone else, save for Tony, was truly gone.
But they're back. And Peter's trying figure out a good way to reconnect to the guy he'd beamed into space with. They were comrades, right? Heroes. It only felt right to say hi, to thank him for helping. Protecting. All that... good stuff. So he knocks on the front doors of the cool building with all the cool thingies (Tony explained it better, but you know...) —
And when the front door is answered (please answer Mr. Dr. Strange.), Peter is standing sheepishly in his usual high school outfit, backpack snugly in place. He holds up a bag of — McDonald's? He has brought an reunion offering of McDonald's. Cheeseburgers and fries, bought with some spare change sitting between Mr. Stark's cushions back at the base.]
... Um. Hi.
OMG! Yes we are! Awesome username bro high5?
He's not exactly expecting Peter's visit, and when he opens the door, he raises an eyebrow, slightly surprised by the young man's presence at his doorstep:]
Peter? Is everything all right?
[His gaze drops to the fast food bag in Peter's hands, and he arches an eyebrow slowly, amusement lighting up his eyes:]
You do know that this kind of food is likely to kill you, right?
[Too soon maybe, for a death joke?]
no subject
[Peter's only real source of coping is jokes, right about now. As uneasy as the memories continue to make him — he can't exactly stop living long enough to embrace those ugly emotions. Instead, he's gonna buy a wizard some Mickey D's.]
I just... wanted to check in, I guess? I wasn't really that social when we all came back, and I hadn't checked in on you — you or anyone, really, but Mr. Stark's been in my personal bubble so much, I figure I'd branch out, too...
[He's rambling, sorry, bud.]
no subject
Indeed there are. [But the kid really doesn't know that being 'dusted' out of existence is the least painful way to die. Strange would know, Dormammu made sure of that before striking a bargain with the sorcerer.
The rambling manages to pull a corner of his lips upward, and Stephen opens the door completely, moving away from the entrance, a silent invitation for Peter to come in. If Stark has been in the kid's bubble, as Strange would have expected from the billionaire, then maybe Parker needs a break, some peace and quiet, and he can definitely offer that.]
Well, I'm quite fine, though I suppose it's nice of you to check.
[He walks to the dinning room of the Sanctum, assuming Peter would follow, and passes by the Cloak, who's floating by the door of his study. It waves 'happily' at Peter as they pass it by before following them.]
How have you been, Peter?
[Stephen asks as he sits down at the table, nodding toward one the empty chair. He knows how hard it is to come to terms with dying and coming back to life. And truth to be told, he still felt guilty the boy had to go through that in order to defeat Thanos: it was necessary and inevitable, but it still didn't make any easy to take as a decision either. He might have told Stark that he wouldn't hesitate to protect the Stone, and he didn't, but doing so hadn't been as easy as he thought then.]
no subject
[Gotta be polite; it's one of his new friends, obviously. He looks up from his unearthing of chicken nuggets and burgers and fries, looking a little surprised (stupidly, because how have you been is such a normal question to ask anybody). He smiles thinly.]
I've been pretty good. I got an A on my trig test, so.
[That's a victory, as far as he's concerned.
He's distracted by a new thought:]
I hope you like any one of these. I should have probably called you, but... I don't really have a phone number for the magic phone you probably have here. So, my bad...
[Look at him, filling up the air time before he actually says what he's come here for. A social champion, this one.]
no subject
The expression of surprise on Peter's face is noted but not commented on, and Stephen simply arches an eyebrow at his reply. It's not exactly what he meant when asking about the kid's well being, but he doesn't push the issue, letting Peter speak of what's on his mind in his own time. In his past life, he might have been annoyed by the lack of straightforwardness from the teen, but Strange has grown out of his impatience. Mostly.
He reaches out to take a burger and some fries out of the growing pile of food in front of Peter. If the teen looks up from the bag, he'll see that condiments and plates are now on the table, without Stephen having left the room:]
I'll admit that it might be well over a decade since the last time I had this particular brand of food. [He's old, he knows, no use pointing that out, Parker.] And I do have a normal phone, I just don't hand out the number often.
[And so saying, Peter will find a white business card at the bottom of his McD's brown bag when he finishes emptying it out, with only Stephen's number written on it. The sorcerer figures out that it might be useful for him to have it. If only to call ahead of showing up at the Sanctum.]
no subject
A decade? Man, you're torturing yourself here.
[And if he sees that card, well. He's just gonna pocket it and not bring too much attention to it, 'cus Stephen doesn't bring a lot of attention to it either — and he doesn't want to seem like an overeager kid about having the contact numbers of actual damn heroes. Steve had even given him a phone number, had told him to take care of himself. It almost made up for the trauma. Almost. Not quite.
He clears his throat and is already grabbing a burger, half-starved.
His metabolism is off the charts thanks to his powers — he always wants snacks, food, anything to keep the energy up. Or maybe that's just puberty doing weird things. Or maybe both... God, he's feeling kind of silly. He forgot how he was gonna even say anything he wanted to say—]
Thank you!
[Oh, wait, he just coughed that out like the thank you was punched out of him.]
I mean. Umm.
I... wanted to thank you. For — for, you know. Helping on Titan.
[... To be more specific:]
For helping Mr. Stark. I mean, I know... you did what you had to for the universe more than for just any one person, but — you still saved Mr. Stark's life. And Mr. Stark means... a lot to me... so I just — [He wipes his hands on his jeans, biting his lip.] I never got to say that to you. With all the fighting.
