𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐒.  A SECRET-AVENGERS BASED COMMANDER ROGERS. LED BY BREN. 

omg did you just call me a power ranger? 

"HAHAHAHA- what the fuck."

AND THEN I DIDN'T- 

perhaps he should be expecting acceptance by now, but it never failed to strike steve as a pleasant surprise when someone readily took up his invitation to join the new team. it inevitably pulled the corner of the man's mouth into a crooked grin that he had no intent in hiding.  ❛  huh. that's  –––  good to hear, i'm glad you're in.  ❜  his smile is a tad larger.  ❛  we will be functioning primarily as a black ops squadron, we will work in the shadows. nobody outside authorized personnel will know we exist. for now, we're operating under the name of secret avengers. i'm leading the team along with agent 13. we will be based on a quinjet, travelling and working through the americas. ❜  a beat, letting the information sink in.  ❛  as for when you can disappear, as soon as you can manage. ❜  

were it anyone else, rogers may have shrugged off the comment as a joke and offered up a smile. instead, knowing exactly who he was speaking to, he assumes a solemn disposition and nods as assurance.  ❛  the plants are not mine, it's the neighbour's. but i'll give 'em a heads up about it later.  ❜  he offers sincerely. always one to keep his word. his eyes shift between her feet on the table to her eyes. she'd made herself comfortable quickly.  ❛  no, it wasn't. i wanted to ask for your help. i've got an incoming operation that might align our interests, and you'll be perfect for the job.  ❜   his chin tilts upwards.  ❛  would you like some coffee?  ❜  

blame seemed to be a part of the air they breathed these days. it lurked behind every thought, hung to every particle in the air, weighed down every shoulder it could find. steve had his fair share, carried much more of it than he'd let on, and was not surprised to see his former colleague  (  was she a friend still?  )  take on a good load herself.   ❛  we all do.  ❜  assures the former captain, offering her a smile that feels little more than practised.  ❛  nobody with a conscience walks out of a war feeling better about themselves.  ❜  a beat. he doesn't let it settle for long.  ❛  what have ya been doing these days? workin' with any other team?  ❜
