[The kid looks a bit different this time around. A bit more comfortable in his surroundings. Looking and sounding less like a brat and more... well, like the hero he is sometimes.]

So what is there to do on this ship? I've heard a few things about jobs, including... protecting people? Supposedly there's some really weird stuff that happens on board every now and then, and not everyone can protect themselves.

[He sets the communicator down, and steps back. And for those a bit more in the know, they might recognize the straps on his shoulders, the round edge of a disc strapped to his back. He's not unshouldering that, though, instead reaching up his left, gauntlet covered hand, hitting a button on the side.

With a slightly Star Wars-esque sound, a bright, energy projected disc is bursting out from his wrist, forming a large, see-through circle with red and blue bands, a large, white star taking up most of the middle. He raises his arm to further show it off]

I get that apparently you guys don't like kids fighting. But I have my own weapon, and I can prove myself pretty easily to whoever wants some help.

[His eyes narrow a bit, then, and he's pointing at the camera as his lips twist in a scowl]

And by the way? I want to talk to Tony Stark right. Now.

[Okay, screw this.

Secrets suck. And he's mad at Tony anyway, so... screw trying to follow his rules.]

Yeah, I suck at it. Does it matter?

Not really. Curious, though. I recall things a little different.

[mstitel]

A lot of people do.

[He sounds guarded, on edge.

Either that or it's just residual pissiness over another mention of people being different from how they should be]

So what's your version?

Never known them to be an 'item', as it were. The widow was swooned by the hawk.

[The widow swooned by the hawk... hm. Hawk as in...]

You mean the archer?

[... Because that's just... weird.]

I do. Not so much were you hail, I take it.

Being that you are alive and all.

[mstitel]

Yeah, not... so much.

[What was it Tony had said? Don't talk to anyone about the Avengers unless they knew about the Avengers?

... Way for there to already be a loophole.]

So you know them?

[snaketrap]

One of them, indeed.

[mstitel]

Three. [Okay, he's confused. And a little more on the wary side again] You just mentioned three of them, but you only know one?

[snaketrap]

[ Calm. as. ever. ]

The ones that I know are not the ones that you know. This is my meaning by 'one of them'. One version of them, I suppose can be said.

[mstitel]

.... Oh. [Well that... makes sense, actually, and has him relaxing a bit in response to it]

Gonna give more on your version?

[snaketrap]

What would you like to know?

voice | encryption 100%

[mstitel]

... What the Avengers you know are like.

[Because Tony... is just being a jerk about this whole thing.

Even if James kind of gets why he's freaking out, it still... well. It has him bitter.]

They'd banded together fairly recently. One might say their wide differing personalities took a bit of adjusting to.

voice | encryption 100%

[mstitel]

I've... heard some stories about that.

[Oh, but, there's another question nagging at him.]

Did you work with them?

[snaketrap]

Sometimes. I was one with an agenda of my own, so to speak. I knew your Mother well.
