Who: The Vision and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Windrose
When: Today!

[The video clicks on to an unusual-looking man with maroon skin and a yellow gem set into his forehead. Though he's been a familiar sight around the Windrose, the Vision doesn't tend to post much so he wouldn't be surprised if there are many unfamiliar with him.

This is a special occasion, however. There's even what looks like a cake in the background.]

There was a slight time differential between my last memories of home and the calendar here. Namely, I seem to have missed the month of June entirely. Given that lack, today is the three hundred sixty-fifth day since I was created.

Accordingly, there is cake and ice cream on the Windrose for any who should care to visit.

[He pauses and furrows his brow slightly.]

I cannot vouch for the taste of either, but I assure you they received the highest ratings from the shops they were purchased at.

[He inclines his head.]

Just Vision, please. Or Captain Vision if you must, as I've been given that duty by our hosts.

[But unless he's mistaken, there's only one Captain for her.]

Me as well, actually. Over on the Starstruck. Bit funny, really, to take the rank now. [ a mild look; a not-quite smile. ]

How does it feel to be one year older, then?

[unbearablynaive]

Indeed. Though I can't say I'm surprised. History paints you as a leader.

[Good question.]

I've changed a great deal, I think. I understand people more than I had before, and I'd like to think I'm more responsible.

History paints a great many things, Vision, but I'm not certain I always agree with its brushstrokes. [ but she smiles in earnest, now. ] But I can at least promise you that most of us need far more than a year to come to grips with responsibility. Good on you.

True. No doubt there was a fair amount of propaganda in the databanks.

[Okay, but anyone Hydra was afraid of gets a pass in his book.]

I'm certain I have much more to learn, but I thank you regardless. I've found the Fleet to be a learning experience above all else.

That applies to the both of us, I feel. Nearly every fresh week, I find something new to astound me.

[ she doesn't much mind. as stiff as her upper lip may be, peggy likes to be astounded. ]

[Exactly! The variety here is like candy for an active mind.]

And I hope it will continue to do so for both of us. Perhaps soon we'll have a new world to explore.

Not too soon. We've got the terraforming below to sort out first, haven't we.

[unbearablynaive]

Indeed. I've analyzed the machines I've been able to find; if we cannot enact repairs ourselves we can at least leave the local government with an action plan. I'd prefer it if we could make progress before the Marsiva gets out of range, of course.

We have been here for an uncommonly long stint. Haven't we? [ ... ] It may be the Atroma want to see these machines fixed.

[unbearablynaive]

Comparatively, yes.

[Now there's a thought.]

I've been helping where I can, but it's a complex job. Perhaps we could focus on it as a group and be more efficient.

Captain Rogers has already leaped into that particular fray. Quite admirably.

[unbearablynaive]

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. It is his area of expertise.

[Bringing disparate elements together to complete a goal, that is.]

[mucked]

I admit, he's never known when to stop and think before...getting involved.

video »

[unbearablynaive]

Yes, well, it's up to the rest of us to provide a balance in that area.

[mucked]

[ amused: ] Good Heavens, is that why he needs a whole damned team? To balance his...more bull-headed tendencies?

[ can u feel the love 2nite ]

[Only people who care can get away with that level of teasing to Captain America, it's true.]

It does tend to be either that or damage control, when both he and Mr. Stark are involved.

video »

[mucked]

Shame, that. I'd have hoped they might be proper friends.

video »

[unbearablynaive]

Have you never known two people with violently conflicting personalities but the same general goals? They are friends, but that does not preclude arguments.

[mucked]

That sort of disagreement does on occasion have it's place. [ but she's from a military background, and although she's comfortable with bending more than a few rules -- she knows to be selective about how often she, ah, 'disagrees' with others.

diplomacy takes compromise, after all. ]

But what manner of arguments do the have?

video »

[unbearablynaive]

[This would be a very different answer if he knew what would happen in the future....]

Mr. Stark thinks of himself as an individual supported by others while Captain Rogers sees a team dynamic. Captain Rogers likes to give orders and Mr. Stark dislikes following orders. Mr. Stark grasps complex scientific processes quickly and becomes frustrated when others fail to do so. Captain Rogers comes from a perspective of humility, while Mr. Stark has one of privilege.

I could go on.

[mucked]

You could. I wouldn't mind if you did. [ she likes to learn things -- especially about these sorts of heavy hitters. but! ]

Yet, it might me uncharitable for me to use our first encounter to mine for intel.

[unbearablynaive]

[That gets a smile.]

I wouldn't expect any less, Agent Carter. I admit, however, that I only knew them for a few weeks before I was taken here, and that I know more of Mr. Stark than of Captain Rogers. You'd likely get as much from watching them interact with one another.

Which means the lion's share of your first year has been spent here, Vision?

video »

[unbearablynaive]

Yes, exactly. The Windrose is more of a home to me than Earth, I'm afraid.
