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!
⑤ Heist → Time to steal that invaluable vibranium shipment before the bad guys do. You'll need all your best covert stealth skills to pull this one off.
⑥ Training → Power up the Danger Room and throw yourself and a partner into a training scenario of your choice! Just try to be careful in there. It is called the Danger Room, after all!
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?
⑤ Fight → Sometimes, even your closest friends can become your enemies. Disagreements can lead to verbal, and perhaps even physical altercations. Or perhaps you're seeking reconciliation afterwards?
⑥ Worst Fears → Your worst fears have manifested around you. Maybe it's an illusion, but what if it's not? How can you go on faced with losing everything you care about?
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.
① Avenger's Tower → Remember that nice tower Tony Stark was working on before it got ditched for the New Avengers Facility? Everyone has their own room designed just for them! It's like a big sleepover and all your weird friends are invited.GEN
② Reunion → It's been awhile since you've seen some of these people. Will you give them a hug? A hearty handshake? Try not to get too misty-eyed!
③ Movie Night → Grab the popcorn and a snuggly blanket! Are you watching the latest action flick with your friend? Or perhaps something a bit spooky so you can have an excuse to cuddle with your partner?
④ Confessions → It's time to tell the object of your affections how you feel about them! Don't get cold feet now. This is the moment you've been waiting for!
⑤ Stolen Glances → Maybe it's the first time, or maybe it's been going on for awhile now. Either way, there's someone you've been making eyes at, and...did their fingertips just brush yours?
⑥ Domestic Life → Hey, sometimes even Earth's Mightiest Heroes need to cook and clean. What's the occasion?
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?
⑥ Capture the Flag → It's a game of Capture the Flag, and powers are off-limits. You wouldn't cheat, would you? Everyone here definitely plays fair.
⑦ Denny's → It's 2 A.M. and you're at Denny's. Sure, you feel like hell, but how about that Grand Slam?
A scenario of your choosing! Go wild! Please remember to mark for spoiler warnings and/or any content warnings as applicable.

If you're gonna keep talkin' ta me, ya might as well come over here an' have some coffee. We might disturb the truckers over there.
[ She does not expect him to take up her invitation; in fact, in Rogue!land, this is an attempt at a Strategy! Maybe he'll be so annoyed by her invitation that he will leave her completely alone?
...in her defense, it is 2 am. ]
no subject
Afraid?
no subject
Huh? [ She blinks, confused at his question. Why would he think she's afraid? Of who? Him? ...oh, the truckers. She doesn't glance at them. She assessed them when she came in. They do look like the type to give an identifiable mutant trouble, but even tired, she could handle it if she had to... she'd rather not have to, now that he brought it up. Bad PR. ] Nah. Polite. I was raised not ta shout across a room.

[ erik's tone is so casual, it can't be faked, except it is. everything about him is. designed to manipulate and sneak into the borders of people's lives. using who he is to its fullest potential. ]
Doubt anyone will hear you.
no subject
Also, the vague horror-movie echoes in his responses do not escape her. "Afraid" and "Doubt anyone will hear you" and she almost expects him to say next: In space, no one can hear you scream. It's something that she notes, but doesn't really invest in. With history like hers, it's hard to know what's paranoia and what's instinct, and it only really matters if a threat legitimately manifests, and that hasn't happened yet, so. /mental shrug ]

This relaxation lasted until her pancakes were delivered, along with a lovely portion of bacon and scrambled eggs, and she was starting to think that her night was looking up.
This, of course, was a mistake. One of the truckers paused on his way back from the bathroom by her table and stared at her a good long minute. "Don't I know you from somewhere..."
Please no, please no, aaaargh -- and then he finished his sentence with the telling word: "...freak?"
She sighs and looks up at the trucker, gloved hands curled around her utensils. She'd just been about to cut her food.]
Can we please not do this now? Please? I just got my pancakes. Just -- go on back ta your friends.
[The trucker took a threatening step forward. "Don't tell me what to do, mutie."
...Rogue sighs again (though a muscle in her cheek twitches because she hates that word and it makes her want to do something not very X-Man-like) and carefully put down her fork and knife. She turns to face the trucker, holding her gloved hands up in a clear: Look, I'm not attacking you kind of way.] I'm just. Tryin'. Ta eat at Denny's.
[She could see the other truckers were still mostly involved in their conversation, but one of them was glancing their way. ...maybe he'd be a decent human being and come tell his friend off for bothering harmless girls just trying to eat a stack of pancakes in peace?]
no subject
so for now, he'll watch from the corner of his eyes. and he might interfere. erik's never against a fight. ]
no subject
Rogue takes a controlled breath. X-Men have rules about this kind of thing. She wasn't in uniform, but that didn't matter. ]
With all due respect, mister, I have just as much of a right to eat here as you do.
[ Rule one: Do not escalate the conflict to violence.
"Mutie freak."
She picks up her fork and tries to activate #ignore or channel Jean. Rule two: If violence occurs, use the minimum about of force required to get out safely.
The man makes a noise deep in his throat and her eyes widen, but she's not in time to drop her fork and move her plate to avoid him spitting on her food. Some of it lands on her cheek.
"Eat that," and, apparently satisfied with himself, the man begins to walk away.
Rule three: Maintain the position of respect for all life, including your own.
It's three that always gives Rogue difficulty - if she lets this pass, lets it end here and quietly asks for another serving, then what's to stop this guy from doing this to someone else who couldn't take it? What's to stop him from doing worse?
Maybe that was her mother's voice inside her head. Or maybe she was just really pissed off. She wipes her cheek with the back of her gloved hand and calls loudly: ]
Excuse me, miss? Could I please get another serving of pancakes? It seems like I've got a little bit of racist asshole in mine.
no subject
I hear those come around often.
no subject
Rogue's eyes narrow, but if he's leaving, she sure doesn't want to keep him around, so she swallows back her retort.
She glances from the trucker to the man on the counter and then tries to catch the waitress' eye. Ugh, she wants to get up and wash her face, but she's not sure what kind of sign that'd send...
After a little while, the waitress comes over, her tired face pinched with worry: I'll get you that new order for free if you get it to goo.
That... shouldn't have hurt like it did. ] No. No, I want to eat right here. I don't mind paying for it.
no subject
Why does she need to go? Ain't this the country where everyone's free to eat where they like? Or is there a law I missed?
