Happy Steve Bingo - Museum
2018-Dec-12, Wednesday 12:36 pmSteve's favourite part of Avengers outreach is the hospitals; his least favourite, the museums. He's not sure if it really counts as Avengers outreach anyway; he's usually the only one going, and it's always related to history, but--
It's just there's work that needs doing now he feels gets ignored in the hyperfixation on the then.
"Are you sure this is right?" Steve asks Lillian. She's the new intern, professional and put together and her hair so bright a blue that Steve's actually a bit impressed. Hair dyes sure have come a long way in the intervening decades.
"Positive," Lillian says. "Stark said you'd love to take his place."
Steve considers the itinerary again, and has to admit that, for once, Stark isn't actually wrong. He's... touched. It's thoughtful.
"He's not wrong," Steve says, and he goes to get ready.
It's an art museum. A showcase of the impact of the rise of heroes on modern art, with a whole panel of speakers who actually know what they're talking about, and it's less about Steve spouting off 'what really happened' and more just... being there, a member of the community that's having this effect, and he's not even on any panels, he can just... roam.
It's.... nice.
Thanks, he texts Tony between speakers.
No problem I hate that stuff Tony shoots back, quick and easy, but still--
It's kind, the only way Tony's ever willing to be--in passing, brusque, and every attempt to not seem it.
