late night boredom

[poorgirlsarcee]

Who: Mira and any Avengers around
What: movie night?

Okay, so popping in a movie at dark thirty in the morning probably wasn't a good thing, but Mira had taken over the TV and was curled up on the couch with a large bowl of popcorn beside her, one of the robotic teddy bears she had been working on in her lap, shifting a little she made herself comfortable before pushing the button to turn on the movie.

Movie of choice tonight? Young Frankenstein, because who can resist a black and white? The pile on the table before her is just as silly, Men in Tights and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  Snagging a handful of popcorn she pops one kernel into her mouth at a time as the movie starts.

With May's help, Jay had been out of his room more (and more not alone when in his room). Though some of his new found habits were hard to break. Like grabbing something to eat when most people were asleep to not bug them.

So, he was a little surprised to hear the TV going when he headed toward the kitchen. He doubted it was some villain making themselves at home while waiting for an Avenger to wake up, but it never hurt to check.

He poked his head in the room to see what was going on. Young Frahnk-en-steen and Mira with a disemboweled teddy bear on her lap. "Don't eat any of those gears instead of kernels."

[poorgirlsarcee]

She was actually paying attention to the movie hugging the bear, when Jay spoke she jumped with a startled yelp!

"Hey, you know it's not fair sneaking up on a girl Jay." Though she did huff a little about the comment. "Gears weigh more, besides, I don't need more iron in my diet... wait, maybe I do with how easily you can throw me around." And yes Jay, she's tossing a handful of popcorn your way.

[lil_hulk]

He stepped more fully into the room, completely not afraid of flung popcorn.

"Tiny white gals are easy to fling around." He had some experience with that. "Why up so late? Only time you can get the TV?"

[poorgirlsarcee]

"Actually, can't sleep. Been that way about a month, just kind of got tired of writing music in my room so I didn't wake anyone." She sat up a little more setting the toy on the floor in front of her.

"Isn't it past your pumpkin time too though?"

[lil_hulk]

"Just don't trip any alarms, and you're good. I hear some of the people around here wake up grumpy." And she wouldn't like them when they were grumpy.

"It's about time for my late-night snack where I don't run into anybody. Seems that plan's been foiled." He shrugged.

[poorgirlsarcee]

"Yeah, I don't like tripping them unless it's important, figure a movie marathon and popcorn wouldn't be enough to do it. And staying to reasonably interior rooms." She did grin a little though. "An' would rather not have the whole team comin' down on me for slipping up."

"Could have been worse. Don't have me stop you from grabbing something to eat though."

[lil_hulk]

"Seems safe enough." He paused and squinted. "As long as it's not Kree porn or anything."

Nope. Still black and white Mel Brooks. They were all safe.

"Afraid I'll lose my girlish figure?" He was tall, broad-shouldered and very much not curvy in the right parts to have that kind of figure.

[poorgirlsarcee]

"Ugh, I don't even watch human porn or animal documentaries that might have mating in it." Hey her parents had been in the industry, she would rather not risk accidentally seeing her mother in one thanks.

She laughed. "Yeah that's exactly it." The movie was just about over. "Besides comedies aren't much fun to watch alone." She smirked.

[lil_hulk]

"So, you don't watch any animal documentaries, I'm guessing." Considering the mating was part of the cycle of life for them, it popped up pretty frequently. Particularly with all those mating dances and stuff.

He scratched the back of his head. "Alright. If we go for something with archers over knights, I might come back."

[poorgirlsarcee]

She snickered a moment. "Yeah, not since high school. There's a reason I went into robotics as my Scientific field. Biology makes too much of a mess."

"Men in tights work?"

[lil_hulk]

"But it's a fun mess." Or so May had taught him.

"That'll work. I'll be back." He disappeared out the door to make himself a big sandwich. Jarvis usually had everything stocked so he would have his choice of ingredients.

[poorgirlsarcee]

"In practice, but ugh learning about it through books not so fun."

"I'll get the movie ready then."

She had forgotten about the bear for the time being. While it was ignored it moved away from the room.

By the time he was back she was back on the couch, the popcorn she had thrown at him tossed away.

[lil_hulk]

Jay hadn't noticed the bear was gone by the time he returned with his massive sandwich. He used an entire loaf of french bread to make his snack. He saw nothing wrong with it as he was still a growing boy according to his mother.

"Think I'm ready."

[poorgirlsarcee]

Mira glanced at the sandwich. "Need chips with that thing? Or iced tea?" She snickered before reaching for the remote. Hey if she couldn't tease someone in the group what's the point of being in a group.

[lil_hulk]

"There weren't any Salsa Verde, so no chips." Jay was particular about his late-night indigestion. He settled in on a chaise lounge so he had plenty of lap for his plate.

"Didn't break any teeth on popcorn kernels or the gears, right?"

[poorgirlsarcee]

"Gears weigh more than popcorn, told ya that." She giggled tossing a kernel of popped corn into the air catching it in her mouth as she pressed play.

[lil_hulk]

"Depends on size and what material they're made out of." He said it with conviction. Since he had been around Reed Richards quite a bit when he was younger.

He had to open his mouth real wide to get a bite into his sandwich, but he managed to get one.

[poorgirlsarcee]

"I'll stick to plastic or metal gears for my little machines. Besides they're just toys, I'm not into the big flashy toys... well other than my bike. But that's a special case."

She was actually impressed having figured he wouldn't be able to. "Okay you're the one to not challenge into an eating contest got it." She nibbled a little more on her popcorn.

[lil_hulk]

"This is a tiny sandwich if I'm green," he noted around a mouthful of sandwich. He saw no need to be polite and wait 'til he swallowed. He wasn't spraying bread crumbs at anyone but himself, and they were both facing the TV so no see-food.

[poorgirlsarcee]

"Still amazed you can handle eating it without getting sick." She did snicker a little tossing a handful of popcorn his way. "And manners, don't talk with your mouth full."

[lil_hulk]

"I'mma growing guy," he commented after swallowing. He smacked his lips slightly. It was a damn tasty sandwich.

He glanced to the tiny missiles bouncing off his arm. "It's a compliment to the chef that I can't stop eating."

Even if the chef was himself.

[poorgirlsarcee]

Mira laughed. "It's dark thirty at night pretty sure you're the chef there big guy. Besides you're loud enough to wake the dead with your eating I can't hear the movie." Not that she was really paying attention to it.
