Okay, being human sucks. Sorry to all the normal people out there, but it really really does. It's been almost a year since I had to deal with this bullshit. And it hasn't got any more fun than it was last time.

That said. Bruce's Clinic, Maryanne's Vittles, and the Theater all have solar panels on the top, so they should have electricity once the cells charge up enough. But the Vittles has gas lines to the stove, you'll just have to use matches to light it.

I wasn't able to get over to the hospital to see if it had solar panels or if it was on the magic grid. Or Mitchell's pub. That's where the 'being human sucks' comes in. Everything takes for-fucking-ever to do.

I'll try to escape tomorrow and look then. Unless someone that's more adept at climbing than I am is willing to do it. I'd love you forever. Elfiekins, you guys are included in this. I will bow to your overwhelming gracefulness ~~this once~~. Because I seriously don't want to fall off stuff, I like my brains inside my head.

	I've tried to at least learn the basics about them. The rumors are..interesting at least. I just feel like things are different between us, beside the serum. He's...I've just, seen more I guess. Maybe it's just me. No, nothing really bothers me then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You been using the internet? I think, since you weren't there, that they were mostly used to bolster the troops morale. He's still got that innocent edge? Not that you're tainted. There are the fruity pops? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah sometimes, and SHIELD gave me some files back home. At lest I didn't have to do the USO tours again. Yeah, something like that. Any without blueberries? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They didn't debrief you in person? USO wasn't as fun as they looked?

I worry about spending to much time with him... To be honest. But he's so sweet. I didn't actually mind that he stepped on my toes.

I don't see a single blueberry one in the bunch. Why, allergic? And yes I am chilling out in the frozen food section of the supermarket. It's hot outside and its still nice and cool in here.

They gave me some of the basics but there was too much, I couldn't make someone sit there and tell me everything that happened in seventy years. They weren't...terrible, but it wasn't something I ever wanted to do, it didn't feel any better than being home and not enlisted.

Why? He...could probably use someone who doesn't make him feel terrible every moment.

Yeah. It's a pretty good idea, I might try and get out of the apartment tomorrow, I've been hoping Tony would be able to get the power up so I wouldn't need to worry about the stairs. Steve came the other day and said he only made it half way before he had an attack...I feel like being bigger has just made everything worse and don't know how far I'd get.

That should have been their job Cap. Leaving you to figure out stuff on your own, was, pardon my language, a very shitty thing to do. Oh yeah, I can understand that I guess.

Because I'm not a good influence. And he's corruptible. Just ask the farmboy that looks like Thor.

Remember there is no pressure on you to get down those stairs any faster than you can manage. If you feel like you're even getting the slightest bit winded stop and park it. It's better to grumble about not being able to make it than it is for you to have an attack. And take it slow. And if you want me to come walk them with you, I'll be glad to do it.

I woulda felt bad, they had better things to do, especially after everything that happened with Loki. I managed, or well, I am managing, there's still a lot I haven't figured out.

He's not that innocent. I mean, between the depression and war and ~~Bucky~~ hanging around street kids after Ma died...I knew what it all was, before the serum, just hadn't been able to do a lot of it.

Yeah I know, I'm half tempted to go down and find some place ground level to camp out but Tony says he should be able to get the reactor up soon. I don't know, I think I might be more worried about my heart, it's been..worse than I remember. ~~Don't tell Peggy~~

Even if they would have made it someone's job? I mean they were waking you up after 75 years. They should have had a shrink dedicated to you, and just you. If I would have been able to go to school I would have jumped at the chance. I would have done it for free, just to make sure you were okay.

I could make those 'street kids' pass the white glove test. I'd blow his mind. I could probably blow yours too. If I was so inclined. I know myself, and I know how to work what I have. I'm also a shameless flirt.

I know ~~the ponies~~ Tony's fiancee and her brother, are staying on the first floor, you'd have some really nice neighbors. I might even be coerced into bringing you something to eat when I bring Mac his carrot soup.

It's...I'm fine with it. I'll catch up eventually and there's always going to be a phone or a computer nearby if something comes up that I don't know.

Okay, yeah probably, but he's, most likely lonely. I mean, I'm him but not at the same time so I can't say for sure but, I would be. And it would hurt to see me the way I am, when I'm better at least. And to see me and Peggy, and I just, think he might like it, having someone else to talk to.

~~I get less nervous alone.~~ You don't have to do that. I've got some food here and I wouldn't want it to go bad anyway. I'll think about it though, see how long Tony thinks it will take.

True, I'm sure you could get any answer you needed out of anyone.

Oh I'll be friends with him. It's just probably not a good idea for me to be left alone with him. I'm not exactly... The girlfriend sort, if you get my meaning. Friends yes. True blue till the ends of the earth.

Alright, just let me know. It's not like I'm making an extra trip or anything. ~~Unless I do~~

	And I know everyone thinks it but I'm really not that bad with the technology, I just have to get used to it for a little while then I can just figure out what I need without bothering everyone. Oh yeah, that...friends is good. Alright, I will. And it would still be plenty of extra effort, I'm all the way on the fifth floor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh I didn't think you'd be bad at it, sugar. I just figured that it would be easier to hear somethings from someone who cared, rather than a cold hard machine.

It's cowardly, but I just can't do more than that. ~~I can't give away something that's not mine to give anymore.~~

Honey, I have a six month old son. Who can crawl faster than you can say 'oh my god don't do that!' five floors ain't going to hurt me none.

Sometimes, but most seem to just get annoyed after a while, I'd rather not get in the way like that.

It's not cowardly. No one has to do something they don't want and you're no less for it. If anything you're better for knowing what you want and not trying to force something you don't feel.

It's really alright, I wouldn't want any of the food I have up here already to go bad and be wasted.

Computers have that habit too. They give the blue screen of death. Either that or they just plain don't like me.

I try to let anyone that seems to be inching in that direction, how I feel. To avoid the whole 'leading him on' scenario. I'll be honest, it ain't won any hearts.

Alright, I'm not going to push. But I will tell you, people do sing praises over my hamburgers. Just ask Dean Winchester. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't keeled over from a coronary, or gained a hundred pounds.

I've never seen that happen. Is it bad?

Well that's not real fair. It's better to let someone know, they shouldn't change their opinion of you because you didn't want to be their gal.

I've heard they're real good, I'll think about it. He uh, special, at all. 'Cause before this thing took it all out I could eat all day and not even be full, so maybe he's got something too.

I don't know. I'm not technology savvy. Usually turning it on then off makes it go away... And if that doesn't work there's Bruce, Tony and Q to fix them.

The farmboy I told you about? He might have had a crush on me, before I told him. But I didn't know he did until... Sometimes just being nice can be treacherous.

I'll even make some without the bits of cheddar diced up into it just for you. No, he's just a gluttonous lusty supe hunter, that knows he's nice to look at.
