awakened to cheers after years on the faultline

WHO: THE AVENGERS
WHERE: The new Avengers Embassy, at Stark Tower (the one that's not the Porter building)
WHEN: Tuesday, Sept. 25th afternoon to evening
WARNINGS: Probably nothing?
SUMMARY: Max Lord introduces the newest member of the Avengers to the team: Black Panther! Everyone, get to know each other, this is for mingling of all sorts.
FORMAT: Quick.


[ It's not exactly a meeting; they can discuss pertinent issues (as always, Max has a whole agenda of topics to bring to the table) another time, because today, what Max wants to talk to the Avengers about is short and sweet. It's something to celebrate! Within their brand new Headquarters Max Lord stood in a brown suit and a checkered tie, a table laid out with food and drinks running the length of the wall to his side. ]

Now, I know we have a lot of Avengers business to discuss, especially since some of us were gone for most of the month. But that's not what we're here today for. But of course if you want to talk shop later I won't stop you.

I'd like to present you all with the newest addition to our team: please welcome Black Panther to the Avengers. I think we can all agree we had a few [ Er. ] holes to fill... and this is our guy. In fact, I think a few of you know each other already.

( I put up a few working subthreads but feel free to make your own! This is for mingling and working out fun team dynamics, do and talk about absolutely whatever you want to. c: )

You can do the math, and I'll slam your findings down on a table, all official-like.

[She snickers a bit.] Never let anyone say we're not a terrific team.

[trickshot]

Hey, we're definitely the best team.

_{( And then, under his breath: )} And good teams don't need outside interference.

[mocks]

Would you call this interference?

[She gestures at... well, everything.]

[trickshot]

Unless you've got a better word for it? Yeah, I would.

[mocks]

We asked him to do all this. It's part of the job.

[trickshot]

I know that. It doesn't mean I have to like it.

that icon :c he looks so sad

[mocks]

Aw, Hawkeye. Give 'im a chance. He's done a good job so far, hasn't he?

he's trying to think it's really hard for him :c

[trickshot]

I dunno. How do you measure how good someone is at things like this?

poor precious babbu

[mocks]

He's kept me and Quicksilver outta prison. And we've got allies across the globe now. Real ones, ones that like us.

;v;

_{( Clint sighs, and relinquishes his hold on her for a moment to rub a hand over his face. )}

I know. I know. I just...

We shouldn't need help, you know? We should be able to handle these things ourselves. And not just our problems.

[mocks]

As much as this pains me to say it, I don't think getting a little outside help is such a bad thing here.

[trickshot]

The help I don't have a problem with. It's when it becomes a thing--when we start relying on it--that I get worried.

[mocks]

We'll just have to stay on our toes, in that case. No getting lazy.

[trickshot]

_{( He just leans in and rests his forehead against the crook of her neck. )}

Okay, Birdie. We will.
