Winter & Vision's (not so) Excellent Adventure

Who: Winter, Vision, & You
Broadcast: n/a
Action: Forest, planetside
When: July 9th

[ This thread is going to serve both as a canon update to post Captain America: Civil War for Winter and Vision, but also be used as a monthly catch-all with prompts. ]

[ It's been a few weeks since they've landed, so Winter's finally gotten over most of his initial uneasiness. Enough to finally venture into the forest for a hike and get the lay of the land. He's familiar with the beach and the markets, and he's heard things about the forest and a certain tree, so he needs to see for himself if the rumors are true.

It's relatively peaceful, and he hasn't come across anyone else yet. He's making his way around a fallen tree when an animal jumps out of a nearby bush and startles him. Winter stumbles back, and his immediate reaction is to reach out with his left hand to steady himself. Unfortunately it's still broken, so it doesn't cooperate like it's meant to. Which means that he trips and falls. Down a steep hill. Only having one functioning arm means he raises his right to shield his head until he can manage to slow down or run into something. Which is exactly what he does before his head smacks solidly against a hard surface. ]


[Meanwhile, the Vision is similarly engaged in heading toward the tree to investigate it. He’s heard you need someone’s hand to hold in order for the magic to work, but his curiosity has the better of him and he’d like to observe it in action first. A scuffle down below his flight path catches his attention, and he swoops into the forest to see what’s going on just in time to see Winter, of all people, taking a tumble down a steep hillside. He rushes over to try and intercept the man before he seriously hurts himself, and in his rush he miscalculates his own density and slams down hard enough that Winter smacks his head against the Vision instead of catching himself safely.

Oops.

The impact is enough to snap the Vision’s head back and hit it against the tree he’d been trying to prevent Winter from hitting. So now there are two enhanced individuals knocked out on the forest floor. How very impressive.]

Vision. There is no feasible way you will recover a stable emotional state until you confront your doubts.

Which, I can see, you're a little wary of doing.

Besides, I'm sure your ship will survive your, ah, emotions.

[Yes, so clearly the solution is to resign until everyone else in the case gets sent home to witness his failure. And then confirm the resignation as permanent, because he's no good at anything anymore. Clearly.]

They deserve a leader who can focus on their problems and not his own.

[Rogers being unable to separate the two was what tore them apart at home, more than anything else.]

No such leader exists. If they did, they would not be much of a leader either.

[You're seriously cramping his angst here, man.]

Because I don't feel particularly qualified at the moment, then.

[ It's what I do. ]

Were you ever?
unbearablynaive: (dose abs)

[personal profile] unbearablynaive 2016-07-28 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
I felt I was, once.

[A lifetime ago, by one measure. Or like three hours ago.]
precedented: (Without a ruler)

[personal profile] precedented 2016-07-28 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Then who is to say you won't feel that way again?

You are called Vision. Try and remember you can have more than one at a time.

I'd hope to regain it. Thus the temporary nature of the administrative leave.

[He grimaces again.]

I can try. I cannot promise success.
precedented: (I desire no results)

[personal profile] precedented 2016-07-28 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ Enigmatically. ] Who can?
unbearablynaive: (oh dear)

[Tony Stark]

Someone who wouldn't be having this discussion in the first place, I think.

[ I don't think he counts. In recent light of events. ]

Very . . . astute.

[He'd promise it anyway, whether he could deliver or not. That's the kind of person he is.]

I suppose I had better get started, then.

[Look at how thrilled he is at the prospect. Wow.]

[ Leto laughs. This has been very entertaining indeed. ]

Good luck.

Thank you.

[It's food for thought, and he has a great deal of thinking to do.]
