Intervention
Oh, Bea couldn't be having with this anymore. Not after nearly 71 hours.

She found the number, got on the phone. "Hello, is this Buck Rogers, in whatever century is appropriate?"

	"In your case, all good, yes." he agrees. Easy enough to be diplomatic. "And yes... long enough for dinner and a movie, anyway, and maybe to schedule some more time not in the lab. Amazing a thought as that is for her." "Hola." he greets Manny, likewise pleasant enough, and unruffled by the odd appearance. "Newest arrival... Manny, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiles brightly at that. "I could try doing some magic to the door to keep her out for a bit. But I don't want the boss mad..." "I didn't know we had those," he says to Manny while glancing at the Ruffles. He needed to raid the kitchen more often. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Si, my reputation precedes me?" he joked. He looks over at Martin. "No, I bought it with some of my money. Well, I bought several bags actually. You're welcome to some." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll just have to do the boyfriend thing a bit more and get her out of there. I doubt she'd appreciate being kept out of the lab without some pretext." he replies, with a bit of amusement. "And... well, I suppose. Or Anya mentioned everyone last time we talked, in case the T-Bolts and Avengers ever need to work together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thanks Manny but it's okay. I like the sour cream and onion ones better." He wants to ask where he'd gone to buy them where they wouldn't mind customers who were...different. It was hard to find those places, and part of the reason he never bought stuff by himself.

"She's been in there a looong time though...you should take her out more often." He's never actually been in the lab so he assumes there's no place to sleep or eat there. It was best to keep the magic out of her lab. "I know someone on the Avengers," he adds.

	Manny would have mentioned that his job as a celebrity bodyguard and UCWF wrestler had garnered him a sizable fanbase. "Okay then." He looks at Buck seriously for a moment. "You're Captain America's son..right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Buck's knowledge of the majority of pop culture is pretty limited - so having missed out on the UCWF and celebrity world shouldn't be too much of a shock to anyone who knows him.

"I'll keep that in mind. The team and training keeps me pretty busy too... but I'll try and get out this way." He nods in response to Manny's question. "Buck Rogers, yes. Nice to meet you both."

	Martin decides he'll need to ask Manny where he bought stuff, later when they don't have interesting guests. "You are? Cool." Martin knows little about superheroes except for the names of the really big ones. Being secluded for the past three years hasn't helped that much. He's playing catch up. "Do you have the shield?"

	soft_inside 2012-04-05 01:07 am UTC (link)
	"Likewise," he nods. "Just wanted to say Dad thinks very highly of your old man and..gracias to him for helping Dad go straight. It's appreciated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Dad is still using the shield. Maybe after he retires, but there's no plans for that." he replies without hesitation or any sign he covets the role. "I don't really wear the flag colors either, but he did train me." he continues.

"And I will definitely pass that along, Manny. I know Dad hasn't kept in touch with a lot of people - but I hope your dad is doing alright. I know he had a tough road for a long time, if I remember the files all right."

	"What are the Avengers like?" He's curious to hear a member's take. The Thunderbolts, he's well aware, were rather...well Bea always did say she was the sane one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-04-05 02:25 am UTC (link)
	"Businesslike, in a lot of cases. Sure, there's friendships and all, but the Avengers, unlike a lot of the teams, are mostly composed of people who actively want to be super heroes day in, day out - and that's the unifying principle. So there's coordinated workouts, training requirements, regulations... a little different atmosphere than a lot of groups." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Si, he has," Manny admitted somberly. Trying to kill himself by jumping off the Empire State Building being a definite low-point. "but he's happy now and he owes a lot of that to Captain America." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-04-05 09:24 am UTC (link)
	"I don't think we're very businesslike," he admits. "Still, it's cool you're all superheroes." The Avengers probably got to fight demons, he thought. He hoped they would get to too, at least so he could show them that some (he admitted it, some not all. But most he'd argue) demon fighting could be tons of fun. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Buck nods to Manny, "I'm really glad to hear that he's doing so well. I know my dad worries about a lot of the people he's helped. Not everyone does so well with a second chance... but you being here is definitely a good sign. If you're anything like your dad, I'm pretty sure you'll do great working with Anya's group." he responds, before nodding in agreement. "I don't think Anya was looking for anything more businesslike when she moved down here... and I'm not saying its the ideal model for a team or anything else. It works for me, and I've always thought the Avengers were necessary, but it sounds like you're doing good work here."

	Martin smiles in agreement, he did think Manny was a good addition to the team. "I think if this was business-like it wouldn't be allowed to live in your lab for days." Of course living in the lab meant she didn't notice minor changes to things he may have accidentally magicked. It wasn't on purpose! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Gracias, that means a lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, no problem, we're all in this together." he replies to Manny, before a slight grin at the comments about Anya and the lab. "You'd be surprised. Starks have this way of getting away with a lot, though some of us try and make sure she gets out now and then. Toni Rhodes is best at it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
