[Well, it's evening in the Eastern district. A sleepy-eyed vampire is awakening in her coffin in Tony Stark's mansion. She opens up the lid and stands up, stepping out of the box and unaware that the journal has clicked on

[staring back at America, pulling back at the same moment he does.

Furious, accusing look. SHE would NEVER kiss him of her own volition, so logic points that it was HIS fault this atrocity has occurred.

Merry Christmas, America. Here's an Elf-Punch to the face]

[First run-in with American superstrength? The Nazi is pinned, and looking murderously back at America, seething, and seizes his wrist in both hands, attempting to push it off her]

Vhotever it vas you just did!

[hellbornhuntrss]

[Yeeeellling back, struggling to get fucking AWAY from America and using her will to oppose the urge to kiss him again]

[After talking with Rip--maybe more like talking "to," considering she didn't say a word--Tony abandons his current pet project the Mark V, and ventures through the mansion to find her and probably America. The yelling proves an adequate way to track them. Tony turns the corner to find--

[America pinning Rip against the wall.]

America, what the hell are you doing? Let her go.

[hellbornhuntrss]

[slowly, and with malice]

Yes, America. You heard Tony.

Let.

Me.

Go.

It's Aaron's fault. I'm almost positive. He--

[Tony walks over to them, and hey, what's that. Yes, it's another mistletoe appearing above Tony and Rip. Tony has barely enough time for his eyes to widen before he steps forward, slips a hand through Rip's hair around the back of her neck, and kisses her right-on.

[And Tony Stark is a very good kisser.]

[If possible, Rip goes very, very pale and still, her knuckles beginning to clench.

She's starting to shake again. Better do something, America]

[Tony feels a tug on his arm and that's enough to break whatever took over. He parts from her just a little, eyes still half-lidded but once he fully comes back to himself his eyes shoot open and he stumbles away.

[He kissed Rip. He kissed Rip.

[Tony opens his mouth to say something. Nothing comes out.]

[action]

[hellbornhuntrss]

[Still shaking, apoplectic, her eyes practically bugging out of her head as her gaze flickers between Tony and America and back again.

With a shriek of rage, and with the aid of Bending, Rip reaches forward, seizes Tony's goatee, pulls it off him, and slaps it onto America's face.

Yes.

In one piece. Revenge is sweet]
