Morning Workouts (open)
Frances fiddled with the pod and hummed when the song continued on the weight-room's speakers. Heading to the punching bag, she stretched her arms over her head and then pulled at her shoulders slowly to get at her back muscles. Mm, after a strong round of coffee, this felt like a good morning for a sweat-out alright. By the time the first two songs finished, she was plenty warm to start the weights. She hopped to the ground and started the push-ups, one arm at a time.

	She laughed and grinned crookedly. "You mean besides my idiotic impulse to run with or pick fights with supers, all with just a prehistoric weapon?" With a grunt, she switched weights. "My parents helped me train, then it escalated as I grew. Can't be middling if you want to be part of Earth's Mightiest, legacy or otherwise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nodded as he added more weight. "I can understand that. Bows aren't prehistoric. They're elegant weapons. I spent time learning how to use one while I was on the reservation." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't get me wrong, I'm pro-bow-and-arrow all the way, even with shiny Stark suits and Asgardian blades kicking around." She smiled, another bow-bro in the house! "No kidding? Hey, the range is always open and checking out your style'd be awesome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure. Anytime you want." He saw her in action, but really hadn't a chance to watch and see how good she was with a bow. This would give him the chance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So gracious, Michael!" she teased. "Bike rides, bar hopping, target practice? Oh the trouble we can get into!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mike blushed. "I'm sure we can find quite a bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-08-09 06:29 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah we can. She smirked. "That's the spirit! We save the world, might as well enjoy it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have a feeling you don't have a difficult time enjoying it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She laughed and had to grin crookedly, caught. "This job makes you enjoy every day you get." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	american_eagle 2013-08-12 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	Mike smiled. "I guess I'm going to find out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Only if we're lucky," she snickered and added louder. "Come on, only an adrenaline junkie would pick this kind of work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Does anyone do it out of pure altruism?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Michael! You wound me, such skeptical expectations of your teammates." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	american_eagle 2013-08-24 04:57 pm UTC (link)
	Mike smiled. "Why do you do it? The adrenaline?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-08-24 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	She shrugged at him and then smiled wide in response. "Question is, why do you do it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	american_eagle 2013-08-24 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	"I asked first, so you have to answer and then I will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She stuck out her tongue, but relented. "My parents did it, new bad guys all the time, the job's never done... All reasons to pick fights with giants. And yeah, it's fun." Resting her chin on her wrist, she smiled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	american_eagle 2013-08-25 04:26 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled. He wasn't surprised that she did it because it was fun. She was the type to enjoy the adrenaline. "I do it to protect those who can't protect themselves from these kinds of things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Commendable, noble," she agreed and nodded her head along. "See? Altruism in the team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mike grew up traveling the world with his mother and had seen people under the heels of others. Even on the reservation he had seen it. He wanted to fight for those who couldn't do it. He shrugged. "Was curious about motivations." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-08-25 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, you know I was going to mention the spokesman contracts and celebrity parties," she play-shrugged before grinning back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll leave those to you," he said while he added more weight now that he was warmed up. "I'm content to stay out of the limelight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-08-25 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	She laughed and shook her head. "Sorry, sunshine, but you're an Avenger now. May not be Jersey Shore, but they do enjoy following the lives of the good guys." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe I can just blend into the background or hide," Mike said. He was camera shy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not after we finished bedazzling your suit," she teased. "What about some neon piping too, pimp it out totally?" She bat her eyes innocently, lips pursed to keep the smile down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
