[Rumlow has his set-up casual, his feet up on the table, and there's a toothpick sticking out the left side of his mouth. He's clearly sitting with two feet of the chair off the ground, but more predominant might be the healed burn scars that mark the left side of his face but particularly around his eyes. Much of the burns has clearly healed (miracle of pod life), but there is enough there to speak of previous considerable damage. His hair looks great though.]

New here. You don't care, and that's great. I'm looking for information on one subject in particular, so I won't waste time with semantics.

I need information on dragons. Specifically anatomy and how to kill them. I've got a wager with my future wife where she wants me to be the knight in shining armor and slay a dragon, but aside from the komodo kind, we don't have dragons where I'm from.

[He picks the toothpick from his mouth, twirling it in his fingers.]

Sure hope these ones taste like chicken though.

[He winks at the camera, offering a charming grin. Oh right, he wants to name drop because he knows it will annoy the person in question to the maximum degree.]

Also, if anyone knows Jessica Jones. Hit me up.

[He offers a mock little salute and the video ends.]

[ This gray-eyed fellow with a squashed face eyes Rumlow thoughtfully over the feed. ]

Do you believe yourself capable of killing a dragon?

[Well, there are worse people in this world. He doesn't judge much.]

Anything is possible with the right research, right equipment, and right team. Hence why I'm doing public recon.

[dendarii]

[ Miles nods at that, tapping lightly at the side of his face. ]

A professional, then.

[ukase]

[He hopes that's some kind of sign because otherwise he's going to assume that's a strange ocd tick.]

I didn't get these scars over a barbecue on a hot summer's day.

Dear heavens. Please tell me the concept of your future wife and Jessica Jones aren't somehow linked.

[ukase]

[What can he say in defense? He's never been a romantic, and all of this is actually to get a rise out of her.]

Well, she practically proposed to me, so who am I to deny her acidic request for martial bliss?

[vorrutyer]

[ With a laugh, he says fondly - ]

She's going to destroy you.

[ukase]

God I hope so. She told me it'd be with her bare hands, so looking forward to that.

[He'll just go out of his way to see how far he can push her first.]

[assholic]

[Well, he's already got her name, so if he really wants to track her down, it's not going to be that hard.

... Goddammit.

Which is why he'll get a video of an annoyed looking pale black-haired woman, scowling at him like she doesn't own another facial expression.]

Are you fucking kidding me right now? Are you high?

[ukase]

[They had previously conversed (threatened) over text, but he has no reason to hide at this point, nothing to actually lose in his books. He has her name, but she can't say the same about him.

At least he can see the complete package that he's dealing with now. Plus one already.

He grins at her, slipping the toothpick back into the side of his mouth.]

Drugs are bad Mrs. Wallace told me when I was a wee lad. So no, not high. You're even more spicy looking than I imagined.

[assholic]

[That earns him a noise of disgust, and she silently vows never to play on the network while drunk again. Ever. Not even if there's a fire.]

Look, Freddy, our little chat was fun and all, but you're more than deluded if you think I'm not going to actually backhand you to the literal moon if you show up at my door with a dead dragon dick.

[badgerlock]

You'll need to swallow at least a handful of ladyfingers, that should make you strong enough to fight one.

[Also, it'll kill you, but hey, it might give the dragon indigestion if it eats you.]

[ukase]

That's awful specific instructions. You know this from experience?

[Back to the pod he goes then. Worth it.]

[badgerlock]

That's what we say in my world. The flowers should be common enough.

[kaleorbekaled]

Um...Jessica is a friend of mine, but she was probably just kidding if she said that to you.

[Especially considering the colourful exchange above.]

[ukase]

[Huh, a kid. Though who really knew, considering HYDRA had their own personal murder-popsicle for years.]

You think so? I suppose, since you're her friend, you'd know what she likes and dislikes, yeah?

She really has a girlfriend of the romantic kind?

[Jones clearly had about the romantic range of an eyedropper.]

[kaleorbekaled]

She likes drinking, sarcasm and fighting.

[Kale is so helpful.]

Mmhmm. She hasn't said a lot to me about her. She likes to keep her personal life private, and I don't think it's serious enough to introduce her to all of her friends yet.

[But she can be legitimately helpful to Jessica by helping to keep up the lie.]

You're bringing new meaning to the concept of an old-fashioned romance.

[ Tony's gonna keep it light, despite some of the red flags going off in his head right now. ]

I killed a dragon in a simulation, back on Thesa station. Mostly we just ran at it with swords until it died. Nice username, by the way.

[ukase]

[Oh look, he recognizes you! Hard not to given all the tech that gets bought and modified from Stark Industries and the big ass ugly building in the middle of New York. This guy is worse than jock itch!]

Probably read your old man's written book on it. Has all the tricks of the trade to being a romantic gentleman.

[Have some more red flags.]

Sounds like a bunch of untrained losers running a bad op. What can I say? I'm an American patriot.

[inacan]

[ Aww, it's so nice to be recognized by bad guys, it warms him up inside, really! ]

That's my dad: real winner with the ladies.

[ Tony is already adding this username to his network tracking algorithm. ]

Yeah, well, I learn by doing. Did you serve? Air Force, Marines?

[originallutece]

I would love to watch you try. Do tell me when you'll do this, I've never seen a man burnt alive by a dragon before.

[ukase]

Sure thing! You can come with me and have a front row seat!

[shashka]

[ well, that's something else. ]

Nice to see that Americans never change.

[ukase]

Is that supposed to be a useful comment?

[shashka]

You were expecting something else?

[ if you want to fight a dragon one-on-one what else do you expect, after all. ]
