@coulsonx continued from here
maria stalled her hand before reaching for the comm, considering coulson’s request. it wasn’t that she didn’t trust him, it was just that — well, like he said, there were a lot of patrols. she didn’t want him to get stuck. that was the problem with someone needing to stay on the outside. at least if she was down in the bunker with coulson, she knew someone had his back.
he was perfectly capable of taking care of himself, but he still didn’t have eyes in the back of his head and if someone snuck up on him, that was that. maria wasn’t close enough to stop him from getting hurt, although she could make sure that no one managed to get phil out of the building — in the worst case scenario. not likely, but part of her job was to consider the worst case and make sure it didn’t happen.
“i thought you knew how to vulcan nerve pinch them,” maria teased, relaxing infinitesimally when she heard his voice in her ear after a long moment of silence. “you’re telling me you don’t have a closet nearby you could have dragged them into?” she reached out, snagging a flute of champagne from a passing waiter and lifting it to her lips to mask her talking.
“a dongle? what is this, eighth grade computer class?” she let out a quiet laugh, looking towards the windows. so far, no one that mattered seemed to realize that anything was off, and she was good with that. “fine, you can have a minute, but if i have to come down there and risk this gown, i’m going to make you buy the replacement.”
she dropped her glass on another tray, working her way through the crowd until she was positioned close to the doors the tours were going through. she claimed one of the tall tables, wiggling her fingers at the group of men waiting for their turn. she’d never understood the appeal of wine cellars — wasn’t the point of wine to drink it, not let it get dusty on a shelf? “do y’all know how many tours are left tonight?” she asked, putting on her best southern belle.

“ i am the deepest shade of jaded. ”
𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐘 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐒 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐄 and not a single day would go by without doing so. at least spending a few minutes with each other meant something. it’s a slow building block to a sustainable relationship. counting each other’s issues and picking them out will only generate more distrust and more questions without having to try. taking this job granted the opportunity to explore their language; what was he like without the suit? where did she go to buy groceries? the little things that really mattered to her. and oddly enough, she wanted to know just how mundane she’s willing to be -- if that kind of trait was embedded into her.
with bright chirps of robins and finches just outside of his window, it was a faint and soft lullaby that could drift her right back to sleep. her head rests near his chest, clothed loosely under the sheets with an arm over his abdomen. a lazily tangle to simply bask in each other’s space before getting the day started. she knew she should’ve asked him to stay over last night but she couldn’t bare to bother him. for once, instead of resisting and being terrified of the worst, this was her step in being open and honest as she possibly could. her arm stretches out slightly to reach for his hand, yawning quietly and buried her face briefly, “ do we have to move? ” she complained, muffled against his side. she felt his warm hand glide and rub across her back, feeling the vibration of a sleepy chuckle escape. of course, they do. otherwise the director would be suspicious, annoyed, send out a scout or all of the above: she knows the drill.
miss ‘hartley’s’ activity in the neighborhood maybe in slight jeopardy. she was ever so lucky not to be seen by the mailman. and she would never enter his home without breakfast in hand. but right now, the weight of the world left her shoulders for a couple of minutes to really enjoy his company before the day starts. fight after fight across the states left the fox weary to pursue anything further than what was on the surface, the obvious attraction and charming wit carried by both. it’s the only time where there was no tricks up her sleeve, no slick remarks. she felt the tips of dark strands being toyed with, lightly brushed and toyed by his hand. after a long moment of listening to the soundtrack of the neighborhood, the rasp in his voice broke the silence with something somber, as if he meant it in more ways than one, ‘i am the deepest shade of jaded.’
she opened her eyes for a moment, shifted her head to rest her cheek closer to his chest. how can she show that she’s sympathetic to how he feels? it’s a constant train of thought for her, of how to go about being as kind and gentle as she can exude in order to be sweet to him and to her own heart. what can she do to make so they don’t hurt each other -- it sounds so over the top, a basic answer for those who are used to being affection. but it struck a heartstring to hear him say that. and sam wished there was some way to heal those wounds. with an inhale to consume the feeling and an exhale past her nose, the hand she stretched out brushed along his palm and wrist, moving to tangle digits together and rub her thumb just along his knuckles, “ yeah, you are, ” as if to say she understands in her quiet tone. eyes were closed once more, her grip moves in to hold his hand with more warmth, “ let’s take a real vacation after this mission? ”

" pass me those binoculars a second... "
aye aye, captain. . . she almost says it aloud, & for a moment allows herself to be grateful for the ability to maintain some sense of professionalism even in her current state: bored, cramped into a tiny car in the middle of the night with none other than @coulsonx. she shuffles quietly, hand reaching to grab the tool at her side before she’s offering the device to to the man beside her.
“ y’know — I kind of hoped that if i was going to be pulled off my assignment on the iliad, it would be for for something a little more exciting than this . . .” hazel hues are hidden in the shadows, but still they search his visage for a sign of why they’re really stranded a safe distance from this warehouse they’ve been surveilling for the last several hours. no one has gone in, no one has come out. doesn’t he have people for this? to no avail, his expression offers up what was to be expected: few hints. “ c’mon, let’s at least find a way to pass the time. . . ”

her phone vibrates against the top of the bedside table ------ once, twice, three times before it falls silent again, only to repeat the little dance two more times before a hand emerges from underneath the blankets to slowly drag it towards the bed before it too disappears beneath the sheets. out of sight out of mind doesn't seem to want to apply to the device ----- it isn't long before the buzz starts up again, even if this go around is muffled significantly by the weight of her pillow.
"someone can't take a hint this morning," she murmurs with a groan before attempting to bury herself deeper into the space under his chin she's dutifully spent the majority of last night cultivating for herself; one final effort to ignore whoever it is waiting for her on the other end of the call. but there comes a point where avoidance shifts into curiosity, and as much as she would rather stay here for the foreseeable future, the unknown eventually convinces her to dig the offending cell out from under the pillow and listen to the newly curated playlist of voicemails that await her.
"shit. i need to go to lowtown," the effort to push herself up from the mattress is half hearted at best, regardless of the pressing issue that's waiting for her on the other side of town. but before she can begin to swing her legs towards the edge of the bed she feels the warmth of his arm around her waist, a gentle push against her sternum with the open palm of his hand.
❛ no , nooo - come back to bed. ❜ / @coulsonx
"i wish," she can't see him fully when she attempts to crain her neck and glance behind her, just the arm that's laid claim to her and the even way he breathes. it's so tempting. "maybe you should petition my boss on my behalf," a suggestive tease delivered with a raised brow and a sliver of tongue between her teeth. the benefits of being one's own boss suddenly increasing by one. "see if you can be persuasive enough to get me a pass to go AWOL."

name : zed.
pronouns : she / hers.
preference of communication : tumblr dm’s to start. then ask for discord & usually i’ll drop it (but i am a lil nervous about that sometimes tbh)
name of muse(s) : steve harrington (you are here), agent coulson @coulsonx, a multimuse @eldritchsacrifice, & a sci-fi horror oc named majerie victorias @thebiophage.
experience / how long ( months / years ? ) : i starterd rp’ing online in AOL chatrooms when i was like 7 or 8. i’m currently 32.
best experience : i’ve met some of the best friends i’ve ever had in rp. my current best friend (whose coming to visit in a month~) i met back when disney rps were a big thing. we both wrote these horrible evil muses and just bonded over that. now we have a billion and one muses together. she pushes me to write and try new things all the time, and to better my skills. so the best thing is meeting her, and then meeting all of the wonderful friends i’ve met since then~
rp pet peeves / deal breakers : fetishizing people as a whole (their sexuality, gender identity, kinks, etc) really turns me off. tumblr has a way of being super disrespectful about wlw characters but over-sexualizing mlm characters and it’s really uncomfy to me. otherwise: i really hate massive age gaps, like an 18 year old muse and a 45+ year old partner and it was rampant in the rp group circuit for a while (most of my rp pet peeves are from rp groups). i also really do not like when someone asks to plot and then leaves the entire onus onto you to figure out said plot. so the “hey wanna plot” and followed by “what ideas do you have” while offering none of your own. lastly: people that romanticize evil muses. muses are evil. there’s nothing romantic about it. don’t apologize for it, don’t give some justification behind it. just be evil. there’s nothing wrong with wanting to explore an evil muse if you do it tastefully.
muse preferences fluff, angst, or smut : i’m a big ol simp for angst plots. the angstier the better. i like fluff in moderation ---if a thread or plot is just fluff i lose interest. smut is conditional. it depends on the muse connection, depends on my chemistry with my writing partner, depends on my mood for the day. sometimes i just do not have the brain to engage the lizard center to write it. other times it come ezpz. but overall - i prefer angst.
plots or memes : god, memes. a lot of the aforementioned “do you wanna plot, what ideas do u have” thing BURNED ME OUT. there was a period of time where i bent over backward to pull plots out of my ass to try and get something with everyone and now i have 1 braincell to spare. so memes. memes are great prompts, even. they make you think out of the box.
long or short replies : i always tend to get pretty long with my replies, if only because i really like exposition behind the dialogue or thought process. i have 0 issue with shorter replies, i just ... have a hard time doinf them myself.
best time to write : when muse strikes, so long as i have access to a computer and little distraction.
are you like your muse(s) : i wish i was like steve. he has such a good heart, even if he’s a little bit of a moron about it. he’s really just this great guy and he’s grown so so much. i’d say i’m really nothing like any of my muses. i tend to write characters who had personalities quite the opposite of myself, but i know i also put a tiny piece of myself into my muses when i do choose to write them. so i suppose i just have to discover what part of me is in steve!

@coulsonx asked: ❛ you’re not getting rid of me that easily. ❜
“oh, but i really could get rid of you that easily.” maria gestured to the computer beside her. “it’s just one form that i have to fill out.” three if you counted the whole ‘in triplicate’ nonsense, and of course she’d have to justify it to fury, but it wasn’t as hard to get rid of someone as they made it seem. not that she actually would do something like that. not to coulson, anyway, but it wouldn’t do to have him get complacent about his job. she needed him around — both hands, and all that jazz — and she liked working with him. not something she could say about most people. the whole dating each other part of it definitely had something to do with that, but she wasn’t about to be swayed by a (very pretty) pair of eyes.
but if she ever did put it through it was proof that she’d been replaced by an alien. “but you’re right, i’m not going to get rid of you, whether or not it’s easy. because i like working with people who aren’t idiots, and —” she offered him a stack of paperwork, standing up from where she was perched on her desk. “your clearance is high enough that you can help me with this part of my job.” maria winked, brushing a kiss over his cheek. “there might be a few other reasons to keep you around too, i guess.”

THE STATE OF BLISS WILL SPIN ANYONE INTO THE DEEPEST CYCLE, whether if it’s in lust or in rage, it harvested her completely. as it does for him. melting together could’ve been their deadliest combination, not knowing if the other was ready to put forth the kind of work that was needed (or regretted) as far as she was concerned, there was no regret... just wondering if there’s more. if she’s capable of handling it right now. the past couple of days was where her willpower kicked in to skip a few drinks, really focus on herself for the sake of her kin and for a certain operative that dropped in on her life again.
their kisses were not the same. poverty for the taste of each other consumed them both so quickly, she was swept up from her legs to be carried over to her bed this time. hands gripped his collared shirt, once pristine and pressed only to be ruined. heavy breaths pass each other, hips straddled the agent, pulling off his shirt one sleeve at a time in hurried fashion. hands go to cradle his neck, just like old times. palms slip down his chest... and she suddenly feels a change in terrain. this was not the same body anymore. a furrowed look takes place as she peels back gently to really look -- right over his heart, or what could be his heart, “ wait? ” she finally speaks, her thumb grazing over the large scar from tip to end, “ what the fuck is this? ”

A WALK IN OBSCURITY BENEATH HER DARK CHAFFON, NOT A SOUL WAS aware of her presence, no matter how many interpol agents spread across london like roaches cowering for food. a little excitement to amp up the next target on her list. it was hardly a task for evelyn to achieve. go in, scour the area, keep her filthy paws away from all surfaces, boots clean off each floor she walked across and slice the throats of those who deserved their six feet drop. and of course, that was before her encounter with shield. her last escape nearly exposed the whole operation, scrapes off her knees and bruises across her back. what felt like simple wear and tear ended up being more with one particular agent.
every nook and cranny of london was known, not a single space was untouched. tonight was yet another undeserving soul to prowl the streets with no justice. digits held her glass of the last few sips of champagne. word beneath the city spread quickly over shield’s involvement on her moves. fine. a challenge never hurts. a gathering to mask the target, semi casual as she floats between bodies that disguise her presence. eyes trained on a few familiar faces by the agency that was breathing down her neck. she recognizes him immediately; a matte black and perfectly pressed suit. before she knew it, light steps circle the agent, aware to keep the clicks of her heels in tune with the others that pass. her words travel sickly sweet, just around the corner of his shoulder, “ you’re quite persistent, aren’t you? ”

@coulsonx played muse roulette (wanda) !!
__________✦ THERE IS A DEGREE OF DISBELIEF PASSING ACROSS FEATURES AS SHE TAKES IN THE OTHER BEFORE HER. in the crevices of her chest, she can feel a beating heart ( weak but there !! ) reminding her she is alive, even after everything that has happened in the last few years. she doubs her past self would even recognize the woman she has become. with powers strong enough to level a universe at the tips of her fingers && only the desire to leave the world better than she found it, she struggles to hold her destiny at bay. much like atlas carrying the sky. ❛ what could your organization want with a witch anyway ?? ❜ she is used to the fear, the unknown she brings to sow the seeds of CHAOS for all to see. to be sought out for help ?? well there is a first for everything she supposes. who is she to judge when she can cast hexes && fly ?? ❛ don't you all keep a roster of other heroes ?? ❜
