What, you don't miss Ritz cracker apple pies? Annie kind of wants to try one.

Yeah, it was a weird one. I think it missed me, although maybe I wouldn't know if it hadn't.

[worthallthis]

I think you'd know after the fact once you got back to normal wouldn't you? Anyway it doesn't look like you were making an idiot of yourself on the network, at least.

He tries to remember Ritz cracker apple pies. Apparently that's one of a handful of things that hasn't come back yet.

is a cracker apple pie any good?

[punched_hitler]

You'd think, but I guess I never can be sure.

Yeah, actually. I mean, it's more like applesauce pie, if you ask me, but it'll do. Hell, it's got more calories, too.

[worthallthis]

I guess when you show it to Annie you'd better save some for me. I won't say no to more calories. Especially if we're rationing. Better get the biggest bang for our buck, right?

[punched_hitler]

Hell, I'm sure she'd want you to be there when she tries it. And I bet Godric wouldn't mind if I used his kitchen to make it.

Maybe you could find a board game to bring. [Many birds, one stone, right?

... Actually,] Do you know what a Rubik's Cube is?

[worthallthis]

Yeah, Stark always seemed to have one in the common room at the Avengers compound. Barton would get frustrated with it at and lob it across the room at least once a week. I always thought it was rubix.

[punched_hitler]

I guess I don't know how it's spelled. Annie and Godric want to give me one, see if I can solve it. They made it sound pretty hard.

Guess I never found it in our compound.

[worthallthis]

Maybe Stark didn't have one in your compound. Who knows what little shit I changed just by being there.

Honestly I don't know how it's spelled either. But if they give you one, I definitely want to see you try and solve it though. See if you beat Barton's record for throwing it.

[punched_hitler]

Maybe not. Who knows.

I'm not sure whether that's a record I want to beat or not. I do bet I could throw it harder and farther, though.

[worthallthis]

Yeah pal you probably would

Do you and Annie need any help with the party? Got someone letting you into the Enclosure and all?

[punched_hitler]

I think we're set, but if you wanted to come early, don't let me turn you away.

You've got a bit of time to get your hair just right, though, pal. Don't worry if you need it.

[worthallthis]

My hair's too short to worry about getting it just right Steve

[Not that he hasn't fussed with it sometimes, anyway. Or had bad hair mornings. Mostly, though, he leaves it alone. That's why he hopped it all off, to begin with.]

Might take a while to pick the right jacket though. I don't got a lot of nice clothes in here, might need to go to the wardrobe, ugh

[punched_hitler]

Yeah, somehow that never seemed to stop you in 1939.

Well, I guess that is what it's for. I'm sure it's got something.

Can you manage on your own?

[It's partly a tease - but partly an actual question. He's mostly sure B's over the overload he used to feel when faced with too many decisions, but it seems kindest to check in a roundabout way.]

[worthallthis]

Pretty sure it's even shorter now than 1939.

[He winces at the last one, and considers just how embarrassed he ought to be at how obvious his problem with places like the wardrobe had been, back in the day.]

I'll be fine. Unless that was a thinly veiled request to come along because you missed me in which case I absolutely need your help

[punched_hitler]

Pretty sure you're talented enough to find a way.

[Not embarrassed at all, in Steve's opinion - which is, admittedly, somewhat biased.

And then he spends several minutes waffling between the warring desires of wanting to see B up and moving, and not wanting to be breathing down his neck when B feels like no time has passed at all.]

I mean, only if you think you can trust my fashion advice.

[worthallthis]

[Aw Steve. Good thing B kinda wants to see you, too.]

Not one bit but it might be funny to see what you suggest. Meet me down there in about 20?

[punched_hitler]

Well now I'll have to find you something outrageous.

I'll be there.
