Filled! Avengers, Steve/Tony; Breaking News 1/3nightwalkerJune 30 2011, 05:51:01 UTC
Well, someone beat me to it, but here's what I came up with!
It's kind of in the Marvel Adventures Universe, I guess?
Breaking News
They hadn't sat down to watch the news - as a team, they generally avoided anything that could be considered work on their rare nights off. So they were gathered in the television room, watching one of those police shows that were so popular these days, the kind where instead of everyone being a cop and running around arresting bad guys, everyone was a scientist who told the cops which bad guys to arrest. It was one of the only shows on TV that the entire team could agree on and even then it was only because Tony, Hank and Peter liked to mock the science while Jan and Ororo mocked the women's wardrobes. Logan would watch almost anything that wasn't animated so long as they left a beer within arm's reach, Hawkeye would watch anything that had explosions or the occasional car chase and Steve was generally known to be a mild TV addict who'd watch almost anything that wasn't flat-out terrible. So they'd settled in for a team night, complete with popcorn and drinks and spent an entire hour with nothing more serious to do than tell the resident geniuses to hush up and let them watch the show already.
The episode ended and the evening news came on, but no one seemed in much of a hurry to break up the evening. It had been a crazy few weeks and Steve knew he was enjoying the normalcy of a quiet evening together. The only thing that would make the evening perfect, he thought wistfully, was if Tony was sitting a little closer. But there was a lot to be said for everyone being together without an apocalypse.
He was about to suggest that they find a movie to put on before everyone started wandering off, when the newscaster announced in a serious voice that they were going live to the Governor's office. Steve bit back a groan, anticipating some disaster, but the cameras were showing the governor sitting at his desk while several other men gathered behind him. Cuomo was signing a document and Steve's brain caught up with the reporter's words a half second after Tony launched himself off the couch with a triumphant shout.
"They did it!" he hollered. "Son of a bitch, all those Senators were worth every penny I paid for them!"
Steve rolled his eyes at the ceiling, almost positive that Tony only said things like that to yank his chain.
"Brb," Tony said, already on his phone. "I gotta tweet this."
"Did you just say 'brb' out loud in a non-ironic way?" Hawkeye asked. "Tony, you really need to spend less time on the computer."
Steve leaned back against the couch and watched Tony's impromptu little dance as he tapped at his phone. He loved Tony like this, excited and happy and practically bursting at the seams with energy. "Marry me," Steve said.
Tony's head snapped up and he blinked at Steve. "Seriously?"
"Seriously," Steve said, very aware that everyone else in the room was staring at him.
Tony held up a finger in the universal sign for Steve to wait a minute, then typed something into his phone.
Peter pulled his phone out of his pocket.
"You follow Tony on Twitter?" Hank asked.
"Yeah. Why?"
"Because you live with him." Hank said.
"Well, I didn't at the time," Peter said, a little defensively as he hunched over his phone. "Anyway, I follow Cap, too."
"I have a Twitter?" Steve asked. "I didn't know I had a Twitter."
"You update it, like, every other day," Peter said.
"I'm pretty sure I don't." He cast an exasperated glance in Tony's direction. "Tony are you impersonating me on Twitter?"
"'Can't comment on awesome news'," Peter read out loud from his phone. "'Getting proposed to.' Holy crap, there's already a CapTony hashtag. How many followers do you have, Tony?"
