…He just wanted some tech to help throw off evil ninjas, make sure they wouldn’t see him coming. Trick their tuned senses. How did he end up here, playing unqualified therapist to a potentially eccentric inventor?He was talking metaphorically, right?

  “You helped Steve Rogers and his crew… and that could have gotten you arrested. If you love helping people, even if it’s at a cost to you personally… I don’t know, that honestly sounds tragically heroic. Maybe you should get yourself a costume.”

          It had been an idle thought, one of sentimentality that the man doesn’t particularly adhere to in normal circumstances. Remnants of an entire afternoon of a podcast series seeping through which had delved into the philosophy of everything revolving around the topic of love - from the detrimental to the uplifting, sonnets of Petrarch merged with Diotima's Ladder. If the engineer was to gauge what made others tick in moments of crisis involving those near and dear, the subject matter was one to be intrinsically tackled from a variety of angles.

“Yes. I suppose that does sound pretty familiar.” Wanda didn’t look directly at him, but instead at the broken necklace in her hand. Her mother’s Star of David that had been taken from her when she and Pietro had been thrown into their cells and that she had somehow managed to recover before leaving. 

Send Me a Symbol to look into my Muses Memories!Send me “☼” for a memory they can’t forget

A memory… Ever since I came back from, my space excursion I feel like my memories have grown fuzzier and fuzzier. Being trapped in space for a couple of years, makes it worse. But surrounding yourself with familiar things, familiar people, familiar smells… It’s like riding a bike. You never truly let go of those memories. Even if they take some time to come back. 

The smell of your mother’s perfume, the rage of a family dispute triggered by the smell of barbecue. 

But that’s not what you wanted to know, was it? No. You wanted to know about a memory I cannot forget…

“I mean, the things you can do? Uncommon, but I’ve see stranger. As for off putting? You’re a kid, you’re socially awkward. Hell, most adults are socially awkward these days. Quite a few of us have taken note of you, and we’re fairly impressed.”

Sources have confirmed with the Daily Bugle that the identity of the man spotted entering the building was Clinton Francis Barton, the Avenger known as “Hawkeye”. His body could not be identified in the wreckage of the collapse but DNA tests are currently being conducted by the local morgue.

Also identified in the incident was Mary Walker, a former employee of Rand Enterprises who was arrested on Christmas Eve after an encounter with the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. She had escaped and was being hunted by the state police. It is believed that Barton hoped to capture the escaped convict while doing vigilante work unaffiliated with the larger Avengers organization.

A supposedly abandoned warehouse building in Brownsville has collapsed in an internal explosion. Traces of explosive substances were found at the scene, and a significant amount of damage was sustained by the adjacent structures.

Witnesses say that they spotted a man and woman entering the space some time in the early afternoon and shortly thereafter, several blasts like gunfire were heard from the warehouse structure. Forensics has identified remnants of splinter bombs manufactured by Mori Industries, which were fired prior to the detonation of more powerful explosives that took down the building.

A number of charred bodies were found among the wreckage of the building, more than the two that were seen entering in the afternoon. The warehouse was not currently in use by any business enterprises so it is unknown who was operating in the space at that time.
