Re: General Pissy, Captain Tightass and Special Snowflake + Carol
She took one step to the side, clasping her hands behind her back. She let the introduction of Tony go in one ear and out the other. Really, who didn't know that Tony was Iron Man (never mind the fact that he presently wasn't...) She Nick's words breeze by her - how many times could she meet and re-meet Tony Stark? It wasn't until Fury pointed at Steve she became visibly flustered. There it was - that chink in her otherwise marble resolve. Carol's jaw fell a little slack.
Captain America? The Captain America. Holy fucking fuck balls. Carol cleared her throat, before her restoring the previous decorum.
"Thank you, Mr. Stark. Permission to speak freely?" She only waited a beat before continuing. "The question is not whether I'm up to it, but whether or not you can keep up with me. Sir." Carol was a pilot. It meant there was a certain amount of swagger, ego, to her character under that stiff upper lip so ingrained in everything about her by the Air Force. She had balls just as big, if not bigger than Tony Stark, and she wasn't about to let him, or this little boys club, forget that. But, y'know, with respect of course.
