D3 / MCU Breakfast Mingle
Who| Bruce Banner, the whole MCU cast, open to people who live in D3 or would drop in on D3 during breakfast time
What| Bruce is a stress cooker. He made a lot of food during the night. Now everyone has to eat it. MCUers have gathered to help with this.
Where| D3 kitchen and dining area.
When| Early morning after the first night under curfew.
Warnings/Notes| Possibly discussion of past violence. Twitchy old people with tribbles.
Bruce doesn't do well when he feels trapped. He felt very trapped during the night and didn't have even a wink of sleep. So he kept himself busy with cooking.
And boy, does it show.
There is a ton of food, all over the counter and on the table. Some is still cooking in the oven or on the stove. There are familiar things, like crepes and popovers and pancakes and muffins and bacon, but there are also completely foreign things from other countries, primarily from Latin America, Northern Africa, the Middle East, and India. And to go with all of this are a ton of different spreads, some of which are clearly not even from the continental United States.
There is also, of course, hot coffee and cold juice to drink. Or tap water, if that's what you feel like.
Honestly, it looks like the weirdest breakfast buffet ever.

Though, she has to admit, the idea of Tony Stark being a secret zen master is almost as funny as the fact that Jane makes funny faces when she's really focused on some new spacetastic discovery.
"I don't think that's really a habit worth breaking. Well, other than the disappearing part. That part sounds like it sucks." Though, maybe not so much for Bruce 'I am a mystery wrapped inside and enigma folded into a burrito.' Banner.
no subject
He looks a little more dry about it than he needs to, jut to play up the humour of what he said, because really Tony really wasn't someone to spill his unease, let alone his soul to just anyone.
"Isn't that bad really. He's a private person, I'm. As private as a celebrity can get, also busy. But like a pet cat he keeps coming back."
no subject
Okay, that's fair. Though if she has any weird midday nap dreams about the Hulk as a cat, she's blaming it on Tony. "Dude, you'd be shocking me if you said he wasn't private." The idea of Bruce being anything but private honestly would be a huge shock to her system. "So, were you guys up to some kind of crazy cool science before they dragged you here?"
no subject
Tony does know there's stories like that, sometimes they get sent to him in various ways. It's as weird as the stories are grammatically poor.
"Nothing all that interesting, just some basic experiments. We weren't in the same room that's for sure, I had just finished telling J.A.R.V.I.S to compile and organise the data Natsha released to the Internet during S.H.I.E.L.D's fall when I showed up here."
It had so very much annoyed Tony that it happened that way.
no subject
Or that she's maybe written a couple of those aforementioned stories on the kink meme. No one can prove anything.
There's something about Tony's words that his her like a ton of bricks. To the best of her knowledge, SHIELD was still keeping on with keeping on. Okay, they hadn't raided Jane's lab since Puente Antiguo and they had moved both of them to Tromso during Loki's shitshow. But for the most part they had stayed out of their way, which Darcy was totally cool with, thank you very much. "What do you mean SHIELD's fall?"
no subject
Really, Tony wouldn't be at all surprise to find out she's penned fan fic about him or any of the other Avengers.
When Darcy questions him and looks a little confused, Tony just raises an eyebrow.
"Uh, what is the last major world event do you remember before coming here?"
It didn't really matter what time she was pulled from, Tony wasn't going to pretend he never said it or anything like that, more it was good to know how much she needed to be brought into the loop.
no subject
And none of them will ever see that fanfic. Ever.
She hopes."Would being involved in trying to stop a bunch of evil Keebler elves from space from destroying the universe as we know it in London count? Did that even make the news in the US?" Which she knows for a fact did make the news because her Facebook feed exploded about the shit going on in London and she got a shitton of phone calls from concerned friends and family. "Because that happened like...four or five months ago.
no subject
"I'm going to ignore that. For the record."
As she recounts what happened before it all makes sense she was actually pretty close to the actually moment happening too.
"Huh. So, they took you pretty much just before it happened then. Well, Be careful of any S.H.I.E.L.D agents that show up. Not really people worth trusting. I don't know the full details, just that our living legend and Natasha told the world that Hydra's back and they're wearing eagles instead of snakes on their lapels."
It's a fact that annoys him. He doesn't even know how many agents he's actually had to deal with that have actually been Hydra, a group that had been a major problem for both Steve and his dad once upon a time. They were part of the reason S.H.E.I.L.D was formed. However that's where all his knowledge ends. For all he knows even Fury could have been part of it.
no subject
"I mean, there were already some trust issues after Coulson and his buddies brought about the great iPod theft of 2011." Along with the rest of Jane's equipment. Which all came back, but her iPod didn't so yeah, it's personal. "So how many of them are actually modern day Nazis? A lot? A little? About half?" Mostly because she'd really like to know how many of them have looked through Jane's research, because she is an A+ friend and intern.
no subject
At first he had been surprised if for no other reason than it was his technology in those carriers, other than exploding there was no reason they should be falling out of the air.
Then of course he found out they were in fact, exploding.
When she mentions Coulson his eye's snap to her for a second but he quickly breaks the look at her. Still more than a little annoyed that he is still upset about the man dying on them like an idiot.
"You'd be better asking the good Captain that. Because all I know is that Barton, Natasha and said Captain aren't batting for Hydra. Or Fury, though with him being dead he doesn't get to be put in either corner."
no subject
Of course she notices the way he looks at her at the mention of the late agent. She isn't dumb, as much as some people may seem to believe she is. And right away she feels like the biggest dick in all the land for referencing Coulson. She's known he's dead for a while now, after an awkward phone call on Jane's behalf about some piece of technology (well, at least before Jane decided to crawl into a blanket burrito of woe over Thor) that they had failed to return and being connected to a dude who definitely wasn't Agent Beige.
"Yeah, that'd be a great icebreaker. 'Hi, I'm Darcy. I already know who you are. How may of your former co-workers are actually playing for the dark side?'" She snorts slightly. "Fury?" She has no damn clue who Fury is, or at least she's pretty sure she doesn't. "Is...was that a codename or just a really awesome name?"
no subject
Really, Tony's being a little mean. Sure, he could answer that question easily but with a combination of him not being entirely too sure of the full story and the ache in his skin that he felt from realising that once again he was duped into giving his technology to the bad guys.
It's just a topic he didn't enjoy.
"For S.H.I.E.L.D. That's probably a perfect ice breaker these days. At least it'll certainly get some kind of reaction out of them which would be interesting. As for Fury. Real name as far as I know, he used to be the guy who ran the place."
As much as a director can when they have to answer to the wold security council anyway.
no subject
Though, really, she can't help but snort at the fact that he approves somewhat. "I'll keep that in mind." She isn't sure how to bring up what she really thought beforehand. Which is dumb because, duh, of course not, but still. "I always thought Coulson was the one in charge."
Maybe she should change the subject. Make sure they talk about something decidedly less awful. "Have I missed out on anything else since then? Y'know, something less world shattering and more happy pop culturey?"
Way to be obvious, Darce.
no subject
So when she makes a very obvious change in subject her just gives her a bland look.
"I'm going to suggest you don't take up a career as an interviewer."
no subject
Which doesn't mean she isn't going to stop prying. Or talking. Because is so not the Darcy Lewis way. "So what do you think I should do since my future as the next host of the Tonight Show is firmly in the shitter?"
no subject
"Apple promoter? Cornering the market in providing hipster interns to harried scientists?"
He gives a wide handed gesture as he offers his suggestions, not at all sounding too serious about either of them.
no subject
"Any chance you'd want to invest in the scientist version of the babysitter's club?" She's mostly joking, though she has to admit that it isn't the worst idea she's heard.
