The Young Avengers: The X Factor (YARP Part 5)

[Orreed]

OOC: Why do I have to be so emotional?!

Asgardians: They looked around at things.

June: She sat alone, looking at the intricate patterns on the tiles on the wall.

OOC: Aww girl it'll be okay I just got teary a few moments ago from the breakup and it bothers me because I'm not usually emotional lol.

 

[Fairywings]

Jay: "Oh no man. I love long stories! Sure, I talk a lot. But surprisingly I can listen as well if I don't get distracted by a butterfly or something. Don't worry your interesting. And that's really cool. Hm, maybe they could. I mean it's not a casual thing like signing up for school basketball team. I think we have talented people though. It takes more than that. A lot of dedication and practice. I have been training almost of my whole life. Then again look at how great my girl at qualifying competitions and she made it with little training. I am SO excited. Again, archery to me is like your football, maybe even more. I've been shooting since I was a little guy. And Hope being it makes it even more perfect. You going the football team in college?"

OOC: Yes. Mike really embodies and is a symbol of old fashioned pure goodness. Our country needs more of that I think.

Mike: He grinned. "I don't know, the butterfly might be more interesting, it's just me. Yeah, I was playing soccer and baseball and football growing up, and I still keep up with them somewhat, but....it's not quite the same now. It was all so long ago....my muscles are built slightly different now." The last part had the barest traces of bitter notes, but he knew Jay, who was good at reading people, would probably pick up on it. "Yeah, don't take it the wrong way, but your Hope is something. Honestly.....I have no idea what I'm doing. I mean, I've already been offered full rides and more from some schools to play ball, it's just..." He didn't even know if he wanted to play ball beyond high school. His coaches wanted him to, his teammates wanted him to. And Mike liked to please. He thrived on approval from those he liked and cared about. Buffalo had been extra excited about it and him, and that had brought back much of the fire and passion for the game. But at the same time...he wasn't sure about how right it would be for him beyond his high school diploma, or perhaps it was how right he would be for it. Mike remembered back when he went to school with Conrad, when Mr. Wilson was serving and Dad was helping SHIELD and trying to find himself, the way he and Conrad would switch between their houses every couple of days to keep the adults from figuring out their parents weren't actually around and sticking together so they wouldn't have to be alone; he remembered the recurring conversations at one, two, three in the morning ("I just need to - to - to do something, to help, to answer the call, do something good, do something worth it-" "Don't worry about it. One day we'll sign our names on the dotted lined, one day we'll be out there helping people, doing the right thing, making them proud. I promise.") but he didn't say anything. He trusted Jay, but he couldn't say anything about considering going back with Evelyn in ear shot. So all he said was, "I'm still trying to figure out my options I guess."

OOC: Yeah

OOC: Oh and I really like Raven's hidden musical talent! I agree with her being better than Hope being a good balance.

OOC: Yeah.

OOC: Yeah



OOC: Yeah.

Jay: He leaned over his canoe, patted Mike's back, and chuckled. "Nah, you're pretty special. You win over the butterfly any day. I wouldn't let many guys date my sister without a fuss, so take that as a compliment." He saw the uncomfort on Mike's face and quickly changed the subject for him. "Cool. We all still have plenty of time. Who's excited for the gala tonight?"

Evelyn: "Me! Sorry, I'm just a bit excited.", she chuckled.

Jay: "No apologizes needed twin." The forest was getting darker and waves choppier so they started to head back.

Mike: "Well, thank you then. That's right, we have time." He was glad for the subject change, smiled at Jay. "Well, should be fun. Lotta people to talk to. Although technically this is still a diplomatic mission thing."

Hope: "Should be fun. Wonder how many guests will recognize the newest Olympians."

OOC: I can see Hope and Jay being one of the last couples slow dancing on the dance floor

Mike: "You'll be fine."

Mike: "You'll be fine."

Jay: "No problem.", he smiled back. They pulled up to the dock and got out. "Still can have fun on a mission. Work hard, play hard."

Evelyn: She nodded in agreement. "Shouldn't be too hard either. Mike you did a great job talking to everyone at homecoming."

Jay: "Oh yeah it'll be cool if anyone else does recognize us as Olympians! Maybe a lot of them well. Almost everyone here is into tv and smartphones.

OOC: Aww I can see Hope and Jay being one of the last couples dancing too. Cute.

OOC: Aww I can see Hope and Jay being one of the last couples dancing too. Cute.

Mike: He grinned. "Probably too late to tell that to Raven." He shrugged. "Ev, I think this is slightly different than Homecoming."

Hope: "We will see."

 

[Orreed]

Mike: He grinned. "Probably too late to tell that to Raven." He shrugged. "Ev, I think this is slightly different than Homecoming."

Hope: "We will see."

Evelyn: She laughed. "Yeah, just a little late." Evelyn let out a playful sigh. "Yeah yeah I know. This is a MUCH bigger deal. But hey, they have the same basics."

 

[Fairywings]

Evelyn: She laughed. "Yeah, just a little late." Evelyn let out a playful sigh. "Yeah yeah I know. This is a MUCH bigger deal. But hey, they have the same basics."

Mike: "Yeah, I suppose."

 

[Orreed]

Mike: "Yeah, I suppose."

Evelyn: "Yeah." She smiler and kissed his cheek.

Jay: They kayaked for about a hour. It was nice. "Probably should head back and get ready for the ball.

Evelyn: "Yes. Thanks everyone, I had a good time."

Jay: He grinned. "Me too." Jay wrapped his arm around Hope and they headed back to the castle.

Evelyn: "Oh Hope, like always your welcomed in my room if you would like help."

 

[The Villianess]

Evelyn: She met up with the others, ready for their African mini adventure. "I guess aimlessly wander around and take everything in. It'll be fun."

Jay: "The thing is, you can't just read the guidebook, you've got to throw yourself in! Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, get charged double and end up kissing complete strangers! [beat] Well don't do the last one. I'll just kiss my Hope! The first part was a quote. No shame is quoting Doctor Who!"




OOC: I think both good. If I stumble upon something else I may suggest it later if that's okay.




T'Challa: The servants brought out seasoned duck. "How are you Maria?"

Agent Hill: "I'm well," she said. "How are you?"

 

[Orreed]

Agent Hill: "I'm well," she said. "How are you?"

T'Challa: "Great thank you." They started to talk about diplomatic topics.

 

[Orreed]

OOC: Perry I was thinking Mike should be thier student council president. Maybe the current one could move. Sure he's only a sophomore and new but he's really likeable and the quarterback. Plus he has connections with old students the Starks and the Bartons. Evelyn could be his compain manager. Considering she's outgoing, friendly, and is like her mom where she's great at manipulating she definitely could help get a lot of votes.

 

[Fairywings]

Evelyn: "Yeah." She smiler and kissed his cheek.

Evelyn: "Oh Hope, like always your welcomed in my room if you would like help."

Mike: "I had a great time too."

Hope: "Yeah I'll come."

Raven: She checked her watch. "We should go start preparing." She headed back to her room.

Conrad: "All right." He headed back to his room.

Andrea: She went to her room as well.

Conrad: "All right." He headed back to his room.

OOC: Good idea.

Evelyn: "Cool Hope."

Jay: "Aww Ev I want an invite! Pretty me up.", he joked.

Evelyn: She laughed. "If you insist twin. Maybe I'll put a bow in your hair."

Jay: "Yes score. See you all tonight."3

OOC: Thanks
And random but sorry if it seems I'm not checking as frequently. I have been playing a lot of League Of Legends which takes about 40 minutes per game and you never really get a break. Many times I play multiple in a row and or am in a Skype call with my teammates.

OOC: Ah

Hope and Mike: They laughed.

 

[Orreed]

OOC: Ah

Hope and Mike: They laughed.

OOC: Yeah
and don't worry if I have time I try to do it during the loading screen. And if I'm not on a Skype call I always respond between games.

Jay: "Evelyn I get the shower first." They were sharing a bathroom.

Evelyn: "Sure no problem. Oh Hope if you're gonna shower maybe you go to yours first and meet up."

Jay: "How about she showers with me?", he smirked.

Evelyn: She just shook her head and knew he was joking. Hopefully...

OOC: Not worried.

Hope: "Yeah, I think that's what I'll do." She blushed red. "Jay!"

 

[Orreed]

OOC: Not worried.

Hope: "Yeah, I think that's what I'll do." She blushed red. "Jay!"

Jay: He laughed and hugged Hope from behind. "I'm sorry I'm kidding love. I mean, but we could...", he joked.

 

[Fairywings]

Jay: He laughed and hugged Hope from behind. "I'm sorry I'm kidding love. I mean, but we could...", he joked.

Hope: She smirked at him. "You wish. You're just lucky Captain Rogers and Uncle Tony haven't heard you, or I'm pretty sure my dad would find out."

 

[Orreed]

Hope: She smirked at him. "You wish. You're just lucky Captain Rogers and Uncle Tony haven't heard you, or I'm pretty sure my dad would find out."

Jay: "I can neither deny or confirm that.", he grinned and was still hugging her. "Yeah, I am lucky. I'll see you soon love." Jay modestly kissed her. "Love you."
