✮ video.

Who: Steve 'belated bday boy' Rogers
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: the ss star(spangled)struck
When: current

[ after the incident which involved steve rogers, a misunderstanding regarding technology and some ( very flattering ) photos of one Peggy Carter, Steve tried to avoid addressing the entire network regarding anything less than a security threat.

And then today happened.

The video opens up to the Starstruck though the ship looks drastically different due to the large number of red, white and blue balloons and confetti that seems to be everywhere. To make matters weirder, there seems to be a rather big cake reading 'Happy 1776th birthday, your Highness' and a song that seems to be playing every few minutes and rather loudly.

And in the middle of it all, there sits Steve Rogers himself and his smile is absolutely long suffering. He looks up and waits for the song to end before speaking rather hurriedly, mostly since he's worried it'll start over. ]

--- My birthday was last month but - thank you. Tony. For arranging alla this.

[ is he saying it through gritted teeth? Oh yes. And why? ]

And more importantly to Pinkie Pie who dedicated her time and effort to doing all of this. It's - very kind of you. Can't say I've ever had that much done for my birthday before.

[ and now if you'll excuse him, he's off to kill Iron Man. ]

Hey, Hank.

[ he saw the post but he'll never make fun of you, bro. Though, he'll never say it but you do pull off the look pretty well. ]

Yeah. Before I served the country in battle they needed my help in - other arenas.

[ GDIT TONY. ]

Hi.

[he appreciates that, Steve. Don't worry, there won't be any teasing from this end, either.

Also pls]

Huh. [a little sympathetically] It isn't exactly appropriate for a birthday, belated or not.

Yeah well. If you've met Tony Stark, you'd know 'appropriate' is not something he's very good at.

[ why is this steve's life. ]

He must have thought this was funny.

[your life is more "why this" than Hank's sometimes and that's impressive]

So I'm learning.

It isn't that funny, it's a war bonds advert. Half the people here probably don't even know what those are. You'll likely get more birthday wishes than jokes?

[ the life of an Avenger, to be honest. ]

Well -

[ he looks over to the cake ]

I guess he counted on the music, the 1776 and the royal title effect.

[ he is sporting such a headache already. ]

I guess this was meant for him more than to the rest of you.

He's . . . definitely something.

I'd say don't give him the satisfaction of a reaction, but -

That's what everyone says.

[ Steve would say an asshole but he's actually too Captain America to call Tony names in front of other people. ]

it's too late. He knows me pretty well.

[you know exactly what would happen if you said the word "asshole"]

You could always get him back, but you don't seem the type.

Not really great at pranks.

[ and more importantly ]

and I'm not nearly outrageous enough to think of anything that will even make Tony blink.

[ look, at least he admits it. ]

Mmm. It could worse, though? I mean - you get cake out of the whole thing.

[food is a bright side, Steve, embrace it]

And a half-dressed girl wasn't hidden in it so I guess all in all, it could definitely be worse, knowing Tony.

[ line fais. ]

That - er. Yes, it could definitely be a lot worse.

[why would you put a half-dressed girl in a cake]

[ because it's tony stark, Hank. ]

-- How long have you been - ?

[ he gestures towards the screen ]

Ah - a couple of days. [he rubs at his forehead]

I'm sorry.

[ all the sympathy ever. He honestly can't imagine what would be his reaction if the Atroma ever pull that specific trick on him but he does think Hank is handling this very well. ]

How long does those thing usually last?

[he will never admit to how badly the initial freaking out was. Never ever]

Usually? A couple of days, from what I can tell. So it should be done with soon.

[he hopes]

I hope it will. Can't be easy.

[ not just getting clothes but..everything. the whole changed body experience. Steve went from very small to his bigger self but that must be a whole lot different than turning into a lady ]

I doubt there's anything I could do to make them change you back but if you feel like birthday cake, there's plenty leftovers.

[ look, comfort food must be a thing that will somehow help ]

It's - not easy, no, but it isn't - . . . it's just strange.

[he won't go into detail about just how strange it is, like how breasts are weird or how his balance is all off or any of that. Still, Steve's offer makes him smile a little]

I could go for cake. [cake is an excellent comfort food] I suppose I can't hide over here forever.

[ honestly, steve would be hopeless as a girl. trying to be proper and still manage a female body - imagine how the others would laugh at him. if this ever does happen to him, he already knows Tony can't ever learn about it.

ever. ]

No one will say anything here, I promise.

[he lucked out in that not too many people teased him, so that's made it a little easier]

Alright, I'm on my way over.

[and so, Hank psyched himself up to take the shuttle over to the Starstruck for cake and to talk with Steve in person.

. . . he pauses in the bay to look up and give the speaks a look cuz of that song. 'Cuz holy crap]

Wow.

[ Steve is waiting for him there, leaning against the wall, a grimace in place. Honestly, he smiled seeing the video for the first time. Some of those memories weren't all too bad, after all. but this - this is the 50th time this song had played today and he's officially tired. ]

--- Yeah. You should see the corridors.

I'm almost afraid to.

[he's decided Tony Stark is a menace] I get that it's supposed to be - you know, but he could of at least switched it up a little bit.

He thinks this is funny. The old Captain America theme on repeat. Especially as he told her I'm 1776 years old today.

[ there is no handling tony stark. he cringes when the girls sing who’ll rise or fall, give his all for America? ]

-- you know it was really popular back in the day.

That's . . . [he sighs. He feels bad for you, Steve] Really ridiculous. I hope she didn't believe all of it.

[he tilts his head at the cringe, but doesn't ask]

I can imagine. It's - catchy. [and out of curiosity he may have watched the video, so he can see why] A lot catchier than the recruitment commercials they used to show when I was a kid.

Oh she believed every last bit. Pinkie Pie is trusting, something that Tony used to make all of this happen.

[ said as they step out into the corridor, all decorated in white, blue and red balloons ]

Well, Captain America was something America needed back then. For morale.
