midnight texting
The Midnight Texting Meme It's the middle of the night and you're trying to catch some z's — or brooding alone in the alleys, as one does — when your phone dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this hour? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? ● Post with your character's name and canon on the subject line, indicate preferences as needed |

You really thought...?
It is. No, only guesses. Probably somewhere in Eastern Europe, statistically, but... it was an area rife with orphans and families that cannot afford to feed all their children. He was spoilt for choice.
Winter. It feels a little easier to breathe, and there is so much coziness around. And I love Christmas.
no subject
thought that i'd go live with bill. that he'd be able to adopt me, raise me properly. in a home as his daughter. i think he really wanted that too.
we needed the resources though.
they have those dna tests now. that i hear people find families on. even if not that, you might get a better geographical range.
winter is nice. except i've grown used to san francisco winter. bit different.
no subject
Alexei... talks like he wanted that now, too, but I don't know. One of the first things he said to Natasha and I after we broke him out of prison was about how everything went well for us because of how many people we had managed to kill. He drank SO MUCH of the kool-aid, I am always wondering how much is still in his system.
And let some corporation have my DNA on file? Where they can do whatever with it, or a government can demand it? Not a chance in hell.
I'm a walking stereotype. I like how foggy San Francisco gets, and the food is good, but it is not cold enough for me.
no subject
he advocated for my wellbeing, but they did what they wanted regardless.
so he blamed a lot of it on himself despite how we really had no other options
but i don't know
alexei seems really proud of you, but i know how twisted that must feel
hah i never had a choice. they have mine. did all sorts of fucked up experiments with it.
that's fair. i'll probably go spend christmas there.
no subject
I don't know if Alexei ever hated the things I did, or if he does now. Maybe. Maybe he did and he is just better at moving on than me. The second part is true, anyway.
It does feel - yeah, exactly that. pretty twisted. Obviously there are silver linings, I have never had to explain any of it to him, and I
I think he's a little too good at moving past it, sometimes, for me. He pushes it aside so easy, but I still feel it hanging over me. I guess that is my problem, though.
I'm sorry.
I bet it is beautiful there at Christmastime.
no subject
not sure we all process grief and regret the same way
but if you wanted to talk maybe he'd listen
yeah. but it's not as if they can track me any more with it than they already were
it is nice. i spent so many years away from bill, after the blip. i think i owe it to him to be there this time
no subject
It's hard to want to act on the want to talk. And it is very easy to let him talk instead.
Thank god for shitty silver linings.
Oh, good. Thank you for confirming it will be a visit. You should take him some of the ridiculous merchandise and cereal that Alexei is hoarding.
no subject
he loves you, though. maybe writing it to him first would be easier? so you have time to think of all the phrasing and word choice, and he can't interrupt?
yeah, other than the bit where they uploaded my dna to some skrull.
heebie jeebies.
but if you used a fake name they wouldn't know it was you anyway. not unless they already had something to connect it to. and if they had something to connect it to, they already have your sample on file.
what else would it be? hah i think he'd get a kick out of the cereal. i was thinking of getting him one of those 'proud father of an avenger' shirts that alexei wears too. do you know where he got it?
no subject
Damn. Big heebie jeebies.
Yes, I guess that is true.
Isolation, which you have told me you do?
It's so silly he wears that shirt. I'll find out for you.
no subject
nick fury better keep his ass in space, is all i'm saying.
oh, i wouldn't be going back to the only place there's people that know me for that.
it's a very endearing shirt. thank you.
no subject
If he doesn't, I'll help you fuck him up.
So I should worry if you say you're going somewhere else. That is good to know.
It is endearing, but also you are a softie.
no subject
i have 3 whole reasons to hate that man
which might not seem like a lot, but they're big reasons.
finding out he was still alive was such a disappointment.
if i say i'm going somewhere, i think informing you is a good sign i'm not going to get lost. otherwise i'd just go. but there's no danger of that, okay?
:( shh. i work very hard on my prickly image.
no subject
Hey, 3 reasons are plenty. 1 reason can be plenty, if it's heavy enough.
Okay. Good.
I am saying it in a text conversation WITH you, I don't know why you're shushing me. I haven't hired a skywriter to announce it or anything.
no subject
well, i know he was an ally and close friend of your sister's.
but it feels like a nice fuck you to him especially that we're the avengers now.
sometimes i do like time alone, to recover. but if i need that for longer than an evening, i'll try to provide an estimated timeframe.
shhhhhh.
no subject
Sometimes she was guilty of terrible taste, like anyone.
I would appreciate that very much. I'll try to do the same.
Make me.
no subject
fair, i believed their lies just as much.
come here and i will.
no subject
going on yelena's personal calendar]
Okay. Where's here?
no subject
Here.
no subject
[At least she was chilling on her bed, so there's no extra embarrassing anything as a result of her jumping.]
Why would you say come here and I will if you were up there spying on me the whole time?
