Euro 2012 and a Meme

[redfiona99]

I've nothing much to say about the group D games other than Gerrard, Ibrahimovic and Shevchenko all played a captain's innings. Especially Shevchenko. Quite frankly, I hope a lot of pundits choke on their words.

I stole the meme :)

Can I have the Magnificent Seven? Maybe Chris? If that's too long ago, hmmm.

Avengers, Bruce?

Sadly, it's been that long since I've seen any of Mag 7, so I'll have to switch to option 2.

You know I'm now tempted to ask for Victoria from Revenge - I'd be interested to see what you come up with for her. But I do adore Bruce as well :)

Once I've seen the rest of series 1 I might do that as an extra. Would you mind if I made a post about the universe I'm using for number 10? It may have expanded beyond all sensibleness as I thought about it last night.

I'm intrigued to see it. Universes have this habit of expanding...

Being posted in pieces so that some of them will see the light before doomsday

5 - In Space

Bruce was claustrophobic, everyone knew that. Quite why they'd sent him up to the space station to fix it was beyond him. It was beyond everyone, including Tony. "All he's going to do is have a freak out."

"Someone needs to fix the drive manipulator." Steve always was the sensible one.

"Hello, genius engineer here."

"Tony, Bruce is the man who designed the damn thing, he knows more about it than anyone else. I don't doubt that you could fix it, but it's better if there's an actual fix, not a Heath Robinson job."

"All my other repairs have worked." Tony was sick of Steve doubting his abilities.

"All your others weren't on the only thing keeping this up in the air."

7 - Band/Singer

Because I like going with obvious options, Bruce is in a band called the Avengers, and equally obviously, he's the drummer, very much in the Animal/Keith Moon mode. He's embarrassed by it, because he's nothing like that in real life/offstage. Thor is the bass player. He used to be in a death metal band with Loki but left to join the Avengers and, oh boy, do those two bands ever not get on. Natasha is one of the singers and multi-instrumentalist. Guitar, violin, banjo, you name it, she can play it. Hawkeye is the keyboard player. Steve Rogers is one of the two guitar players, while Tony Stark is the other, and the constant source of tension between the two is whether Tony ought to be allowed the solos he wants, because sure, they're good but do they add anything to the songs.

10. Matriarchal - It would be called 'Copenhagen', and it's Bruce and Maria Hill, and after the film. Bruce has Hulked out somewhere and Nick Fury was sent to bring him back. Bruce isn't used to it, because it's always been Coulson before.

Bruce could hear Colonel Hill approaching. He'd come out here to the balcony at the top of SHIELD's headquarters so that no one would bother him. He still wasn't fit for human company. But that was never going to stop Hill. Neither of them had any time for pleasantries. "I wasn't expecting Fury."

"I only send my best for the Avengers."

"Romanova?"

"Already out on assignment. Listen, I know you don't like Fury." Bruce really didn't. He blamed it on Fury being ex-military. He never had got on with the army, which was his Dad's fault. People kept trying to tell Bruce that he ought to go easy on his Dad, that he'd been under constant pressure to prove himself given his gender and his rank. Bruce felt that might be an excuse for some things, but not using his only child as a guinea pig. It wasn't just that, of course. Fury was a shock after Coulson. Phil had been blandly attractive the way all company spokespeople were, the perfect face for SHIELD. Fury, with his scarred face and eye-patch, wasn't. He was also always three steps away from insubordination.

"But Fury's the best I've got now."

I wish I could write more of this. It's an interesting verse. Natasha is the undisputed leader of the Avengers, and Tony Stark is generally held to be lucky that he's got money from his father.
