Hanging out.
Mac made his way to the Avengers' place with a back of pork rinds under his arm. He knockedo n Steve's door.

	The door opened a moment later, and Steve appeared in the doorway. He looked a little on the tired side, but otherwise in pretty good health. "Oh, hey Mac," he said, and smiled. "What's up?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I, MacKenzie Rider, son of Her Highness Namorita Prentiss of the Royal House of Atlantis, come bearing trade goods." He hands Steve the pork rinds. "I wish to barter for a decent bottle of root beer. How you doing, Steve?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve breaks into a bigger grin. "God, pork rinds. I'd almost forgotten what they tasted liked. That's definitely worth root beer." He goes on, "Doing all right. Seeing Samson. Got an appointment in the next couple days with Anya's dad for an arm rebuild." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good to hear." And Mac'll walk with him down to the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once in the kitchen, Steve will pulls a couple of bottles of the requested root beer out of the fridge, tossing one to Mac. "How you been, man? Haven't had much chance to talk since I got back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-01-22 02:48 am UTC (link)
	Mac catches it and opens with refreshed relief. "My time on Dad's beat was a heck of a learning experience, I've got two new second-cousins-once-removed who are wonderful girls, and I'm dating a devastatingly intelligent hot chick. Life's good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2011-01-22 02:56 am UTC (link)
	"Damn, man," Steve says. "Sure sounds like it. Who's the chick? Anyone I know?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-01-22 02:57 am UTC (link)
	Mac smiled. "Awesome Andrea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2011-01-22 03:06 am UTC (link)
	"Duuuude," Steve said. "Niiice. Awesome, even." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-01-22 03:16 am UTC (link)
	He smiles. "Thanks, man." Pause. "How're you and Anya doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2011-01-22 03:27 am UTC (link)
	"We're good," he says. "Taking things slow. Getting to know each other again." He grins. "Kinda had it out with her old man, actually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-01-22 03:28 am UTC (link)
	"Hoo, boy, what'd you do? Was it the If You Know What's Good For You conversation?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2011-01-22 03:35 am UTC (link)
	"Pretty much," Steve says. "The whole "what kind of man are you going to be" blah blah blah, speech." "I think I held up my end pretty well. He didn't activate the kill-sat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-01-22 03:39 am UTC (link)
	"Man, do I not want to answer that question yet. I'm a delivery boy. With some Avenging on the side, too, and eventually a military commission, but a delivery boy. Mom wants me to go to college, but I don't have her knack for that stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2011-01-22 03:53 am UTC (link)
	"Nothing wrong with any of those things," Steve said. "Soon as I'm cleared back for action with the team, that's pretty much exactly where I want to be. I'll figure out the rest when I get to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-01-22 04:22 am UTC (link)
	Mac nods as he drinks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2011-01-22 05:11 am UTC (link)
	"It's funny, really," Steve goes on. "All that fighting, you'd think I'd want a vacation or something. But really? I just want to get back to being able to punch out the bad guys." "Is that weird?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-01-22 05:14 am UTC (link)
	"No way, dude. You got stuck being a general. You want to be a New York superhero again. No moral ambiguities. No impossible struggles. We're the good guys; they're the bad guys, and those bad guys are going to hit the floor with a satisfying 'thump'." And not an explosion, Mac doesn't need to say. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2011-01-22 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Point," Steve agrees. "When'd you get so smart?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-01-22 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	"It's second-hand smart, from the beat and stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2011-01-22 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, well, keep it up. Much as it pains me to admit, we need more thinkers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-01-22 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	"Long as nobody tries to put me in charge." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2011-01-22 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	He laughed at that. "Fine by me, man. I guess James is running the show these days anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)
