Movie Day (Open to T-Bolts)
It was Saturday and that meant spending the day with Buck, but apparently bad guys had no consideration for her love life and had decided to attack. How rude. The Avengers were called out and Buck had texted her to let her know something had come up which meant that Anya had a free day.

There was the temptation to go hide in the lab or even go into the office, but she decided to stay in her pajamas and make her way down to the rec room. It had been forever since she had been able to sit and watch a movie. Today she was going to take advantage of the cancellation in plans and do her best impression of a couch potato.

She popped in Breakfast at Tiffanys and stretched out on the couch.

	"There is an Iron Man movie, two of them, and they're really not accurate. But they're fun to watch." Anya smiled. "I can make popcorn. Coffee and popcorn are about the only two things I can make without destroying the kitchen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"...Can we watch one?" He's not sure if that might be a request she wouldn't appreciate so he tacks on: "But you can tell us the parts that are wrong! They don't get a lot right in movies."

For a moment he goes quiet as he realizes that none of them can do popcorn until he hears that Anya might be able to. Well, even if something did blow up at least he'd be able to see these kitchen explosions for himself at least once. "Yes! Someone can."

	"It'd be fine with me," Manny concurred. Manny blanched for a moment, before whispering to Martin. "Better stay behind me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We can watch them," Anya said and sent the command to the system to load the first Iron Man movie. She stood up. "I'll be right back with popcorn." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Martin gives Manny a glance that makes it clear he wants to watch this. Anya using the kitchen? If she blew something up it'd be fun to see the rumours were true and if she didn't? It'd be just as shocking. Win-win. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny gave a resolved sigh and mentally prepared himself for what may happen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Less than five minutes later and minus any smoke or fires Anya came back with three large bowls of popcorn. Popcorn buttons on microwaves were amazing inventions. Even she could get it right and not destroy the kitchen in the process. "Popcorn!" she said triumphantly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Martin doesn't seem to react or register anything for a second once she enters the room. Then at once he snaps out of it and shakes his head a little before cheering at the sight of the popcorn.

While she'd been in the kitchen he'd gone into astral form to safely watch the popcorn making. There were no explosions sadly and he'd come back to his body shortly after she'd arrived with the popcorn.

Martin beams at Anya as one of the three bowls glows blue and floats its way over to him. He's very glad she went for separate bowls, now he could actually have popcorn without worrying.

	Manny eyes Martin curiously for a moment, convinced he was pulling some kind of mystic shenanigans. When martin took his popcorn, Manny took a bowl, able to hold it with one hand easily. "Gracias." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"De nada," Anya said as she took a seat on the couch. "I will apologize now for my laughing. I can't watch this movie without laughing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-07-16 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you," he chimes in as he places the bowl carefully in his lap while sitting crosslegged on the armchair. "What's the funniest part? And are you in the movie?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think this is the origin-story, Martin," Manny informed. "Odds are I don't think he even met Anya's mom yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-07-16 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Mom's not in this and it is an origin story. Which they got wrong. Mom's in the second one and they got that wrong too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So what did they get right? Other than the name." He's in the middle of considering what a movie of another superhero would be like. Or a superhero team movie, that'd be fun he thought. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not enough women," Manny teased. Anya's father was a notorious playboy before getting married afterall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Jarvis was quite put out that they made him an AI." Anya sighed. "Yeah, for Dad that wasn't enough women. They got the armor looking right at least. The portrayal of Pepper was decent, but there should have been a thing between her and Happy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Martin listened curiously about all these changes in the movie and wondered what they'd get wrong in a movie about Dr. Strange. Probably all the magic stuff.

"If they made a Thunderbolts movie I wonder what they'd get wrong...I mean other than the magic stuff obviously. They might tone stuff down..." The collateral damage parts at least. And he imagines they'd want to tone down Kelly for audiences.

	"That's Favreau's character, right? Manny looks over at Martin. "If they do a movie then it'd be about the originals, they have a story of redemption, people really go for those." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah," she said. "Happy's pretty awesome. I spent a lot of time with him and Pepper." "If they made a TBolts movie, it'll probably be about the old team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He knew very little about the old Thunderbolts, but just enough to follow along. Watching the start of the movie he muses, "So if we're the Thunderbolts...does that mean we're also going to be a redemption story?" He knows what he has to make up for if he can, but doesn't know if the others have anything. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny scratches his head. "I'm not sure that's how it goes." Manny raises an eyebrow. "Did chicas really go for such bad pick-up lines?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Apparently it's the goatee thing. At least that's what I've heard. Dr.Strange has one too," he comments while keeping his attention on the screen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny scratches his chin. "Being famous can't hurt his cause either. heck, when I was still competing I had a couple girls come on to me. Guys in the business called them 'ring rats'. Never liked the term, myself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Being super rich doesn't hurt either," Anya commented. She shrugged. Dad's philandering was in the past. It didn't bother her like it used to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
