Good morning Keeliai, how are we all today?

[Steph is sitting at her console, leaning back in her chair with her legs propped up on the desk. She's smiling, and for those that know her, it's the sort of smile that should be extremely concerning. Those that don't know her may also be feeling like they're about to hear something they don't want to.

She is going to be a terrible person today.]


I'm going to preface this message by saying that anyone under the age of 16, or whatever the age of legality is where you're from, should tune out now, please and thank you. I'm not gonna be explicit or anything, but it's probably not going to be appropriate for kids. [she gives a pointed look, yes you, Damian, switch off the computer now.]

I was taking an anthropology class back home, and my professor happens to be here too. [she wrinkles her nose, like yes, I know that's super weird, how do you think I feel?] And he's been giving me assignments and stuff, because apparently being kidnapped by a giant turtle isn't a valid excuse not to keep up with coursework. The topic we'd been studying before I got brought here was human sexuality, and Professor Craig suggested I write a paper on kedan sexuality instead. [Hi Bruce.] Except, uh, after the last couple weeks, I'm not really keen on that idea.

But I have been thinking about all these people with superpowers running around, and like - we've got comics back home, right? But they tend to focus on the whole defeating supervillains and stopping alien invasions side of things, which is great, sure, I love a good action story, but there's something that just never really comes up.

[she looks directly at the camera, the very picture of scientific curiosity] Do they - or, do you, for the superpowered people in the audience - ever use their powers for sex? This isn't a rhetorical question, by the way, if you have used your powers in the bedroom, feel free to share with the class.

And in the interest of not excluding anyone from the conversation, anyone who's just a regular old human, or whathaveyou, you can discuss what sort of powers you'd like to have, and how you'd use them to impress the gender-of-your-preference.

Don't feel like you have to respond directly to me, you're more than welcome to talk amongst yourselves. I figured we could use a little lighthearted chat to take our minds off the situation. Don't you agree?

[She winks, clearly trying not to laugh, and sits back in her chair to wait for responses]

Yes. [The word is strangled enough that it's almost a noise. STEPH YOU CAN'T JUST TALK ABOUT DANCING SEX.] Just. You're- this- I'm-

[Hand gestures. HAND GESTURES.]

Yeah, I've. Been through the second one a couple of times. [IMPLICATION BEING HE HASN'T BEEN THROUGH THE FIRST. If he was much redder his head would probably explode.] I know it's not - we did talk about things like this, just not so.

[How do you sentence.]

No. I'm. I'll. Be. Fine. [Can words. Still has his head in his hands tho. It's slightly easier to speak when he's staring at his palms instead of at anything else.]

That was a sentence. [HEY SO WAS THAT. He has at least progressed to covering his face with one hand instead of both.]

[Well that gets him to drop his hands and give her a half-hearted glare. It's unconvincing. Being convincing is hard when you still look like you'll implode at any moment.] I wasn't.

[SENTENCES. YOU ARE NOT BEING SNOGGED IN THE STACKS, ROGERS, YOU CAN WORD.] I didn't expect it. That's all.

[PAINFULLY RED AGAIN.] This isn't. Really. My area.

[He's doing that thing with his hands where he makes little circles because there are thoughts and they aren't forming properly.] Peggy is the first woman I've ever- [NOPE COMPLETE SHUTDOWN NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS. The hand-circles collapse into handwaving.] This is Bucky's sort of thing.

[OKAY he was going to stay out of this, but... well, this is Steve.]

Hey, punk. The alternative to everyone watching you do this is talking with her face to face.

[Not that he thinks Steve will do better off that way, considering the subject and his reaction, but... well.]

[WARK. HELPLESS FLAIL CONVEYED IN A LOOK.] I don't think that's. Entirely appropriate. Given the subject. Matter.

Does that mean yeah? If so, I'm coming over.

Yes, it means yes. [SOB WHAT IS HAPPENING WHY.] Alone.

[No, Bucky's not answering that over the network. But he's chuckling over it all the way to Steve's suite, where he knocks easily and, yep, still amused. When he's within Steve's hearing, he just has to start with,]

Really, Steve, there's a difference between talking about things and doing them. Also why would I not be coming alone? Your mind's racing on you. You've gotta relax!
