Tom’s new girl | Tom Holland x Reader
Summary: Tom has a surprise for you when you come home
Pairing: Tom Holland x Reader
Word count: 0.4k
Request: can you do 19 and/or 45 for tom holland?? (“YOU DID WHAT?!” + sleep is for the weak)
** keep sending requests with this list!!
-
As much as you loved being an actress, all day shootings were exhausting. You had woken up at 5am this morning to get to set and you were finally going home at 10pm. On the drive home, you began day-dreaming about a bubble bath, the warm water and the bubbles sounding amazing after a long day.
A car dropped you off in front of your apartment building and you took the elevator, getting closer to your bubble bath, but you halted as you opened the door.
Looks like your bubble bath will have to wait.
“Please don’t get mad,” Tom said first thing when you walked in, preparing the table for the news he was about to drop. He had this strange facial expression, as if he was holding in a smile.
You took off your shoes and flicked your eyes to your boyfriend. “What did you do again?” you asked warily.
“As you know, I had an interview today-”
“Oh no. Did you spoil anything? Or do anything embarrassing? Is it all over social media already?”
With all the times Tom had accidentally blurted out Marvel secrets during interviews, you sometimes wondered why Marvel still allowed him to do interviews. He has spoiled plot details, endings, and even the existence of sequels before they had been officially announced.
You and Robert Downey Jr once joked about how they should call him Spoiler-Man instead of Spider-Man.
“No. It’s nothing like that, darling,” Tom assured.
A small breath of relief left your lips. “What is it then?”
“Well,” Tom began, “they brought me puppies to play with during the interview and they were really cute and sweet and I may have brought one home.”
Oh god. This was worse than spoiling secrets.
“Thomas Stanley Holland, you did what?!”
You and Tom had many talks about getting a puppy. All of them ending with ‘let’s wait until we have enough down time to take care of it’, but today, Tom completely disregarded all those conversations today and impulsively got a puppy.
Right now was not the right time to get a puppy. You were in the middle of filming a TV show and Tom was about to go on a press tour - which included a lot of traveling - for the new Spiderman movie. How will this puppy fit in your busy schedules?
“I couldn’t leave her here, Y/N. All her brothers and sisters were already sold and she was going to be alone,” he explained, playing with your heartstrings. “Wait until you see her. She’s so cute and sweet and you’ll love her. She had a lot of energy before you arrived, but we played with this rope and she spent all of her energy.”
Tom took your hand and you followed him to the living room where the puppy was sleeping soundly in a small pink bed. You went to the small bed Tom and sat next to it. A smile twisted at the corner of your lips at the sight of the light brown puppy, betraying you. Why did she have to be so cute?
Tom joined you on the floor, sitting before you. “She was the smallest of the group, like me, and during the interview she kept cuddling against me and begging me for belly scratches. All her siblings were stepping on her, so I picked her up and told her she could go to sleep and live with us in my apartment, 'cause she’s gonna be our puppy.”
Tom’s story made your heart melt. His kindness and big heart were some of his greatest qualities.
“I’m sorry I didn’t ask you before taking her home, but I had already told her she was coming with me. I couldn’t break her heart after. She’s only two months old.”
You wanted to be mad at him, but how could you with a puppy this cute?
You reached out and petted the little puppy’s head while she slept. “Did you give her a name, yet?”
“No. I was waiting for you.” The puppy began to wake, her eyes cracking open and shifting on the little bed. “We will not be getting any sleep with that puppy, right darling,” Tom said to the little puppy.
Your eyes flickered to Tom. “That puppy is your responsibility, not mine. Have fun not sleeping. I’m going to take a bubble bath.” You gave Tom a kiss on the cheek and stood, leaving him with the puppy.

Hello! Hope you're well!
I've been really loving your Actor!AU, it's very fun and your art style is really cute!
Was wondering if you'd be interested in doing something where Sylas' actor is talking through the bite scene with Vax's actor? Maybe something like;
"Hey, this is an intense scene. If I do anything that makes you uncomfortable, or that makes you feel unsafe, let us know and we can workshop this bit."
While Vax's actor is just excited to be working with Sylas' actor.
In any case, this is a very cool AU and I'm really enjoying it so far!
Sylas is out here being the veteran actor trying to look out for the younger and make sure he’s not being pressured into anything he’s not comfortable with
Sylas is the like big time name, and while Vax isn’t a rookie, he’s nowhere near as renowned as Sylas. This is his “Oh my god it’s Robert Downey Jr.” moment
AKA, Sylas is a dad and he’s doing his best, and Vax is a fanboy
Also yeah I’ve been doing freaking great! It’s always a boost when people like your art :]

My Little Miss Sunshine
Genre: Fluff
Word Count: 875
Warnings: N/A
Pairing: Tom Hiddleston x Fem reader
Authors Note: This came from a discussion with @holdmytesseract a while back!
“Put your hands together for Sebastian Stan, Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr, and Tom Hiddleston!”
I walk on stage with my three costars amongst roaring applause. Doing interviews with Seb and Chris is always one of my favourite things. They are both effortlessly funny and great at speaking - the only trouble is they are terrible secret keepers. Especially Chris, his facial expressions give everything away. I take my seat after waving to the audience, sitting at the end with Sebastian in the middle and Chris on the other end, closest to the host. Robert was in a chair beside me. We were there as PR for the new Marvel movie that just came out, which hosted a new character played by my secret long-term girlfriend, my little Miss Sunshine. That’s what everyone on set calls her, too, due to her always smiling and being super bubbly.
The interview started as most PR interviews do - the hosts trying to get information about the movie - thank God my Tom counterpart isn’t here to give anything away.
“I hear a new member is joining the Marvel cast.” the host began, and Sebastian, RDJ and Chris immediately turned to face me. Oh boy, here we go.
RDJ was the first to speak, “Little Miss Sunshine, as she’s affectionately nicknamed. She and Tom have been flirting relentlessly the whole time filming was going on.”
The audience laughs, and I laugh along with them because it is true. I did flirt relentlessly with her, but it came so quickly, given our history. “She was cast as someone for Loki to flirt and tease; why would I not flirt with her?” I respond to Robert's prodding with a slight chuckle. Nobody knew about Sunshine and me, and I did wish to keep it that way. Although we did talk backstage before I came on about letting our secret out - although she didn’t like the idea, she was okay if it made the interview easier for me. I kept that fact at the forefront of my mind if needed.
RDJ retorts, “On screen, yes, but you were flirting with her off-screen, too, Tom! It was constant.”
Sebastian and Chris echo his thoughts, much to the audience's approval. I chuckle, knowing our ten-year-old secret would be told today, and I did my best to continue denying it. “I’ve known Sunshine for years; our families are friends. I used to flirt with her years ago, which is why flirting with her came so naturally on screen.” I had hoped that explanation would suffice, even though I knew it would cause more questions.
“A photo has been doing its rounds online of you and her engaging in a rather intimate moment off stage. Can you explain that?” The host asks as the picture in question appears on the screen behind us. I saw the kiss I was sharing with her and knew she could see it from where she was standing backstage.
Running my hands through my hair, I gave everyone what they wanted to know. “That was when filming for the movie officially wrapped up. I was so proud of her; having never acted, she did so well.”
“And why a kiss? Especially one as passionate as that? Why not a hug like most of the cast?” The host prods. Everyone, including my three costars, watched me intently, wanting to hear the truth.
“That’s because Little Miss Sunshine has been my girlfriend for ten years.”
The audience erupts in cheers and applause while Robert, Chris and Sebastian look at me, completely stunned. Honestly, I'm shocked that they never put it together until now. I laugh, seeing the reaction to the reveal and watching the realization dawn on their faces.
“That’s why you two were always sneaking off together!” Chris yells with a laugh. “Ten years? TEN? I’ve known you for almost ten years; how am I only learning this now?”
“How did you two first start dating?” The host questions. The question caught me off guard, afterall I wasn’t planning to be asked about my relationship.
“As I mentioned,” I began, adjusting my glasses, “Our families are friends, so we grew up together. We had lost contact for several years once my acting career took off, and admittedly it was mostly my fault. She would text me, and I would just not answer her due to my schedule. One day she just stopped texting me, and I figured she had found someone, so I left it. It wouldn’t be until five years later that we reconnected at her my sister’s wedding, of all places. They remained close through all these years. I was hooked when I saw her again, saw the woman she became. All my feelings for her throughout our teenage years came flooding back to me. Now that I'm thinking about it, I suspect that was their plan all along.”
A soft smile pulls on my lips, remembering how we danced together all night. “That was the happiest I had been since I started acting. Luckily I had broken up with my girlfriend at the time months before, so I asked her to be my girlfriend that night. Thankfully she said yes. We’ve been together ever since and I could not be happier.”

heyy in your professional opinion which of the Sherlock movies is the best? :3
I love you holy fuck
Okay full disclaimer I haven't watched a whole lot of Sherlock movies, I've seen the RDJ ones (Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes: a game of shadows), I've seen The Hound of Baskervilles (Rathbone) and I've seen Sherlock Gnomes
Personally my fave of the lot are the RDJ ones (I like the 2nd one most), Robert Downey Jr. does a great job playing Sherlock (although he does say the m slur. Yeah :( ) and they're very hectic in a fun way! I also love love LOVE how they portray Mycroft, him and Sherlock are close, and Mycroft is UNHINGED. He does NOT know how to read people. I fucking ADORE it. BY god!!!
The 2nd one is my fave specifically bc it centers Moriarty (I know he's overdone but I love him 😔 he's so incredibly cool to me) and. AND. Let me just say there's a chess game. And it mirrors the plot so well. I just wish there was more movie :(
I don't want to go too much into Sherlock Gnomes but. Oh my god it actually has a pretty fucking good moral. And it's also the closest I've gotten to canon Johnlock. And Sherlock is an asshole but we love him for it!! I know Gnomeo and Juliet got a LOT of critique and ik Sherlock Gnomes seems silly but it's good. Irene's straight in it though. Which. [loud incorrect buzzer]
The Hound of Baskervilles is good too!! But it's from 1939 so it's in black and white, the audio's crunchy, and the pacing isn't quite what this generation is used to lol. I'll be honest I. Barely caught shit from the movie. But what I DID catch was good 👍🏻👍🏻
So.
My reccomendations, in order, RDJ Sherlock on top, Sherlock Gnomes 2nd, and Rathbone 3rd.
but please listen to Sherlock & Co. if you like podcasts 🙏🏻🙏🏻 /nf
#FUCK.#YES.#I LOVE THIS.#I LOVE ASKS LIKE THESE.#THANK YOU. TYSM. ILY 🙏🏻🙏🏻#sherlock holmes#sherlock fandom

Cosmic Cameo
Requested: Nah
Summary: Cara doesn't remember much of anything before that fall, but what she does remember might come in handy for what will happen next
OR
In which Cara Cassidy falls smack dab in the middle of the MCU and can't help but to get involved.
Warning: None
Blue, that's all there was. Blue of the sky, no blue of the water, the sound of it rushing into her ears, the cold all over her body.
'Why can't I move? Help, I need help. Someone help me! Please!' She screamed even with knowing no one would hear her.
She can't breath the pressure was too much she has to breath, there was no way the she would be able to swim to the surface and holding her breath was only delaying the inevitable.
'1....2....3.' Closing her eyes, taking a deep breath prepared for the liquid to fill lungs but, instead she is met with air. Her eyes snap open.
Blue, that's all there was not blue of the water the sky, the sound of the wind rushing past her head pushing her hair forward, she was falling.
Stretching her arms forward in a useless attempt to grab something, anything, nothing. Once again knowing your going to die and not being able to do anything about it.
Its coming it had to be. The ground coming closer and closer. What would it feel like? Would it be instant? Better than drowning she figured.
screams of people watching helplessly from the ground grew closer and closer.
'1....2.....3.' Closing her eyes, preparing for the impact, the end.... Nothing.
Blue, That's what she saw, trying to get over the fact that she was seeing anything at all. Blue eyes of a person standing above her, the sound of footsteps and monitors beeping around the room.
"Hello, ma'am?" The deep voice called. "Can you hear me?" It asked.
All she could do was blink, what else are you supposed to do when you're meant to be dead. Cara thought she should be floating face down in a river somewhere or laid out across the cement.
"Hello?" The voice called again. "Do you need anything? Are you hurt?" It asked.
"What do you mean is she hurt?" Another voice sounded from elsewhere in the room. "You should be asking that crater in the ground."
"Can you tell me your name." The voice called ignoring the previous statement.
"Where am I?" Was the first thing to come from Cara's mouth. Finally able to focus she looks to the man standing in above her.
"You're safe." He replied. " Can you tell me what happened?" He asked.
"When?" She asked confused.
"Before, during or after your fall from the sky." the other voice called.
"Tony." The first man chastised. "Do you feel hurt at all?" He continued.
"No, I'm fine." She replied taking a deep breath.
"My name is Steve Rogers. Can you tell me yours?" He asked.
Steve Rogers? Was this a joke or something? Did she land in the middle of Comic Con or a Cosplay contest or something?
"Funny." She scoffed.
"Ma'am?" He asked confused.
"I said your real fun-." Chris Evans, it was Chris Evans. "Where am I?" Cara asked again.
"Where do you think you are?" The other voice asked. That can't be... Looking over to the source of the noise, Oh My God! It's Robert Downey Jr. "Or Where did you come from? You can answer either." He said walking around behind her back.
"I came from..." Trailing off as her mind went blank. "I'm.... Where am I?" She reverts back to her initial question.
"You're in the the Avenger's Tower." Chris replied. "We found you and brought you here to make sure you were okay."
"That's a nice way of saying making sure she's not a threat." Tony interjected once again.
"Am I on the set?" Cara asked.
"What set?" Chris asked.
"Avengers." She answered.
"Yes, ma'am we are the Avengers," Chris confirmed. "Now we wanted to know if you could tell us how you fell." He asked staring intensely into her eyes.
What was he talking about, did he think that she thought that the Avengers were real so he was trying to humor her, maybe he though she was crazy, but he brought up Steve Rogers first.
"What did you say your name was again." She asked thinking maybe she had heard wrong.
"Steve Rogers ma'am." He restated.
"And we're in New York aren't we?" She asked. "In the Avengers Tower." She continued.
"Yes." He confirmed.
"You're Steve Rogers," She states before turning her head around finding Robert leaning in a table watching her from afar. "And you're Tony Stark." She pointed out.
"You know me, I'm flattered." Robert says putting his hand over his heart.
"She awake." A new voice emerged into the lab, Mark Ruffalo. "Has she said anything?" He asked.
"Let me guess." Cara replied before any of the other character could. "Dr. Bruce Banner."
"Have we met?" He asked confused as to how this unknown woman knew his name.
"No but its not hard to to figure out." She replied. "So what's going on here, are you guys like methods?" She asked. It was pretty clear either one of two things was happening right now.
1.) She had hit her head walking down the street and some how ended up being found by Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, and Robert Downey Jr. in the middle of a rehearsal for the next Avengers movie.
But considering both Steve Roger and Tony Stark are very much unalive.
2.) She had been magically teleported into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and now she was stuck until she figured out her purpose in order to return home.
But considering that was crazy.
"You know I have a question." Robert says coming closer. "How are you not dead?" He asked causing the woman to give him a confused look.
"Tony." Chris glared.
"No, she fell from the sky and left a her sized hole in the earth." He continued. "And yet here she is talking and breathing."
"Wow if I didn't know any better I'd think you wanted me dead." Cara sassed to the older man.
"Don't take it personally." He replied.
"Kinda hard not to." She rebutted.
"It's just it would be nice to know who or what you are before we unstrap you and sent you off into the world." He informed. Unstrapped? Looking down at her hands for the first time Cara realized she was indeed restrained.
"what the hell?" She muttered pulling in the metal cuffs that appeared to be attached to the chair she was sitting on. "I don't suppose you'd take these off if I asked nicely would you?" She asked smiling up at the smug looking man with the goatee.
"No." He answered,
"I guess were going with option 2." Cara mumbled.
Oh My God! I could save them, I could save Natasha and Loki and Tony if she had time, she could stop the Avengers from breaking up, she could save Killmonger from dying, everyone from getting dusted. But she knew she couldn't do that from here.
"I think there are something we need to discuss before those can come off." Steve states being as calm and collected as he was portrayed in the movies.
"Things like what?" Cara demand growing frustrated with the lack of mobility. "Why you kidnapped me? Why your holding me against my will?" She asked rhetorically.
"Well no," Bruce chimed in fiddling with a pen nervously. "Our line of questioning was going in a different direction."
"North, East, South...?" Cara sassed.
"What are you?" Bruce asked ending the remainder of her sarcastic remark.
"What do you mean?" She asked taken aback by the sudden question.
"What are you?" Tony repeated. "Alien? Asgardian? Angel?"
"I'm human." She stated plainly as it seemed to be the most obvious answer.
"Right," Tony replied crouching down slightly to eye level with the young female. "And regular human appear out of a portal and fall hundreds of feet at a thousand miles per hour and walk away with out a scratch?"
Leaning in closer staring straight into the eyes of the smug looking billionaire.
"You did." She smirked refusing to be the first to look away. From what she had observed from her many rewatching of the MCU was that you never back down first, and while Tony Stark was nothing to scoff at due to his sarcastic nature and witty references he definitely wasn't the most intimidating person she could be in this position with.
"Good point." He sighed out quickly standing back to full height. "Tell you what Icarus, how about once the list of human who have done that extends past you and I, we'll talk about getting those restraints removed." He shrugged turning his back before beginning to tap on some sort of screen.
"Stark now is not the time for your childish games." The Asgardian prince slightly scolded before approaching the restrained young woman. "I am Thor, son of Odin, prince of Asgard and Midgard is under my protection state you business in this realm?"
"..."
"Please?" The god questioned taking of his mask of intimacy with a slightly hint of a smile.
Cara couldn't help but smile back, it was moments like these that she couldn't help but see Thor as a puppy or a child. A 6 foot 6 puppy.
"Thor, son of Odin, prince of Asgard and protector of Midgard. 'Wow that's a mouth full' I have as much business in this realm as the man taking his morning jog through the park or the bird that is probably flying over the city. I'm just trying to live." She pleaded hoping she was pulling off the innocent look she was going for.
"Welp I for one believe lady..." He trailed off into confusion upon realizing he didn't know the name of the young woman currently being held in the room.
"Cara." She assisted.
"Thank you." Thor stated before turning back to his fellow avengers. "Lady Cara."
"Cara huh." Tony questioned. "I would have guessed something more biblical like Castiel or Lucifer."
"I'm not an angel." Cara groaned out shutting her eyes and throwing her head back in frustration. "And even if I was, what's it to you?"
"I'm sorry?" Steve asked.
"What I mean is I haven't done anything wrong, I haven't broken any laws or hurt anyone. You have no right to keep me here." She clarified.
"Look you may not know this but the last time a portal opened up and something came through it spelt bad news for everyone." Natasha spoke for the first time from her place near the exit.
"I think everyone knows about that, what I don't know is what it has to do with me." Cara said through gritted teeth. "I mean no offense but don't you people have better thing to do than to keep me captive? I know I do."
"Things like what?" Clint interjected. "Enslaving the human race?"
"Oh my god!" Cara groaned.
How was she ever going to save everyone strapped to this chair being held captive by the people who she was trying to save.
She had much bigger thing to deal with like Bucky, Thanos, Wanda, Ultron... Oh god how was I gonna stop Ultron, there was no way I could convince Tony Stark that he was wrong about anything yet alone his master plan to save the world. Maybe keeping the scepter away from him altogether.
But no Ultron means no Vision ,and what would no Vision mean for Wanda? I can't even imagine.
"Is there someone else I can talk to?" Cara huffs. "Maybe someone with a better pair of listening ears and a basic value for human right and freedoms. Nick fury perhaps?"
"How do you know who Nick Fury is?" Natasha asked coming to stand closer in an attempt to intimidate.
"I know a lot of things." She shrugged.
"I doubt that. Cause if you knew anything you would know Fury is de-."
"Hiding out after faking his death, yeah I know that too. Natalia." Cara informed holding eye contact with the former Russian spy.
"Who are you." She asked making sure not to waver her gaze.
"I'm Cara." She stated firmly. "And as much as you people want to see me as a enemy I'm an trying to prove myself an ally."
Breaking her eye contact with the red head to meet the eyes of the remaining Avengers in the room, before returning to Natasha.
"And I can prove it if you would just let me out of these restrains." Nodding toward her restricted wrists.
"I'm sorry." Steve replied causing the 24 year old you grow her head back in frustration. "But we can't take that risk."
Cara didn't remember the Avengers being so annoying before, what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty. She needed them to trust her but had no idea how to make that happen , pretty sure the truth would land her in some max security mental hospital.
There has to be a way to blur the truth and she knew just how to do it. No matter what how she got here or what may be different because of it she knew more than anything that these people loved to be right she would just let them think they are.
Taking a deep breath Cara prepared for the worst before saying it.
"Not even for Loki's scepter?" She asked and was not surprised when everyone in the room shifted their full attention to her even Tony who seemed content with ignoring her pleas for release.
"What did you just say?" Clint asked wanting to find the scepter more than anyone after living through the effects of it.
"I know where it is." She tells him before looking around the room. "Look your right. I'm not human or at least I don't know if I am." She sighed in fake sadness.
"What do you mean." Steve asked.
"I mean ever since I can remember I've had these visions. A man falling from a train, a rainbow bridge, a ballet studio, an old man in a cave in the desert." Cara listed significant events in the lives of the heroes standing before her. "I never knew if they were real or if I was just crazy. I swear I have no idea how I came through any portal and I sure a hell don't know how I'm still alive, but what I do know is that I would never try to hurt anyone." Cara finished allowing her eyes to slightly tear up.
There was a collective silence among the group as they all attempted to figure out how this stranger knew so much about them.
"I got it." Tony said breaking the silence. "There is a whole museum dedicated to cap and his old war buddies." Tony explained away your first 'Vision'.
"Anyone can study Norse mythology, Widow over there released all of shields files and my kidnapping is public record at this point but nice try." Tony finished with an unimpressed look on his face. She could feel the other members also start to accept Tony's debunking of her story.
'Damn it, think of something no one else would know something, anything!' She screamed at herself.
"I think that is enough games." Thor said seeming to have changed his previous vote for your innocence. "Your attempt to fool us have gone on long enou-." Stopping once Cara started speaking.
"I've looked forward to this day for as long as you have, your my brother and my friend. Sometimes I am envious, but never doubt that I love you."
"What is that supposed to be?" Tony asked.
"Loki." Thor replied not taking his eyes of the young mortal girl. "Before my coronation on Asgard. My brother said those exact words to me."
"You can't read that in a book." Cara smiled gently, but you can watch it in a deleted scenes video. Honestly Cara was just glad that it actually happened in this world otherwise she would look even more crazy. "So what about letting me go?" She tried again.
"Sorry your gonna have to do better than that." Steve approached arms crossed.
"Loki's Scepter." Cara states. "I can help you find it." She offered.
"How?" Thor asked.
"I've already told you how." She replied. "But you have to promise after I do no more restrains and I'm free to go." She attempted negotiate.
"How about no more retrains and we'll see." Natasha offered.
"How about no more restrains and I'm free to go."
"How about you spend the rest of your life in a super max prison?" The red head countered.
"you know Drakov is still alive right?" Cara asked shock spreading across Natasha and Clint's face before they quickly mask it with a glare. "How about no more restrains and I'm free to go."
"Fine." Steve spoke before the petty argument could continue. "No more restrains and your free to go after we have the scepter?"
"Perfect." Cara smiled nodding towards her arms and legs.
"Tony." Steve states, nothing happened as the billionaire pretends to not have heard the request. "Tony come on."
"What if she's lying?" Tony asked. "We're just gonna let her roam around my lab touching things."
"There are six of us and one of her." Steve pointed out.
after a few moments tony let out a groan before pressing a button causing the straps to retract, stretching her arms and rubbing her wrist Cara takes this time to look around the high tech laboratory.
"So." Tony begins. "Where is it?" He asked raising an eyebrow at the girl.
"Where's what?" Cara asked before Tony took a step towards her. "Okay, Okay fine." She chuckles slightly.
"Hey, I gave you a shot don't make me regret this." Steve reprimands.
"Okay, You would thing at this point in time you people could take a joke." Cara muttered looking towards the ceiling as if searching for something. "Jarvis?" She asked.
"Yes Ma'am?" The A.I. replied.
"Hey Hey you don't talk to Jarvis." Tony scolds. "How do you even know about Jarvis?" He asked.
"I'm not answering this question again." Cara deadpanned. "Jarvis can you bring me up a satellite image of Sovkia?" Cara asked.
"Right away ma'am." He answered projecting a holographic image of the small city inches from the her face causing her to back up a few paces.
"Good thanks now I need you to search the other perimeter of the city for heat signatures." She informs. "Anything moving in formation consistently." She added.
"Here you are ma'am," Javis responds. "This area has shown a consistent path of small heat signatures recorded footage from the satellite shows for about the last three months or so."
"And are there any significant power sources coming from the area near the or inside of the signatures path?" Cara continued.
"Yes, there is an abandoned factory building just inside of the heat signatures path though it is emitting a significant amount of power." Jarvis confirms.
Turning to face the group of super individuals Cara opened her arms up wide.
"Heat signatures are patrols, that building is where you'll find your scepter and a one Baron Strucker as well." Cara informed. "Any questions from the class?" She asked rhetorically, though that didn't stop Bruce from raising his hand.
"Yes, Dr. Banner." Cara called.
"These abilities you say you've had them all your life?" He asked. "And you had no idea about the increased durability of you body? Have you ever given blood? Has there ever been any unexplained anomalies in your D.N.A.? If its possible I'd like to run some tests on your blood and determine the limitations of you body." Bruce rambled on not really giving the girl a chance to answer any of his questions.
"Um....Yes, No, No, and maybe if you buy me dinner first." Cara replied. "But I kinda meant scepter related questions." She clarified.
"So you saying that this building is where the scepter had been the whole time?" Natasha asked.
"Well not the whole time but it is there now." Cara replied. "So am I free to go?"
"After we get the scepter." Steve reminded. "But for now I think this is a pretty solid lead , so we'll hold off on the restrains for now but you can't leave this building. Am I clear?" Steve asked.
"Yes dad." Cara replied sarcastically receiving a stern look in return. "Fine I will not leave this building."
"Thank you." He replied.
"We need to move on this now before H.Y.D.R.A. gets wind of this and moves locations." Clint says studying the hologram of the building. "Jarvis can you play back the perimeter movements for the last three months and let me know if anything has changed between now and then?" Clint asked.
"The movement seems consistent Agent Barton." He replied.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Natasha asked Clint looking away from the electronic display.
"Yep." He answered. "We land in far wood of the south side looks great." He continued.
"perfect, we shall leave immediately." Thor states walking towards the exit.
"Thor." Steve called stopping the god in his track. "Be need and plan of attack we can't just go in there guns blazing." Steve says.
"How would that be different from all the other times?" Tony asked.
"We can not wait any longer and risk loosing it again." Thor counted. "Lady Cara is an unlikely advantage that may not be around to assist again."
"He's right just because you miss the scepter doesn't mean I was wrong and doesn't mean you can keep me here." Cara agreed. "We have a deal." Cara was all for helping the Avenger but she was not going to be some sort of prisoner she had thing to do people to save just like them.
"I said once the scepter is in our hands." Steve clarified.
"It is in your hands and your letting it slip through your fingers." She rebutted.
"Hate to agree, like really hate to agree with E.T over here." Tony started. "But we have to move on this as soon as possible."
"Still not an alien." Cara added.
"Predator?" He asked.
"Fine," Steve caved. "Two day. And then we move, Is everyone okay with that?" He asked receiving nods all around.
"Great, better rest up Icarus." Tony called to Cara as he heads to the exit.
"For what exactly" Cara asked following him out of the lab and down the hall stopping and waiting at the elevator as who she assumed to be the other Avengers come to a stop behind her.
"For the mission," Tony said stepping into the elevator. "You coming?" He asked noticing no one was following. "This H.Y.D.R.A. base may be legit but you could still be leading us into a trap and if you are I'd like you to be as close to getting shot as possible." He smirked pushing on of the floor buttons.
"And if I'm not, cause I'm telling the truth." Cara insisted. "I'll be an unprepared civilian in an active war zone." Cara pointed out.
"Then you can wait in the jet." He shrugged as the lift came to a stop and the doors opened revealing the living quarters. "Besides I'm sure Widow wouldn't mind slipping in a quick lesson."
"Of course not." Natasha said walking past the curly headed girl patting her on the shoulder.
"yeah, I'd defiantly take you up on that if I was ready to die." Cara replied.
"That might actually be a good idea," Bruce stepped in. "it would be a great way to test your reflexes and pain tolerance."
"Or you could shoot me." Cara suggested. "Yeah I like that idea bet-.." She joked but was cut short as a flash of light flew across the room and hit her in the chest sending her hurdling into a wall.
heads snapped from the girl to the source of the attack only to spot Tony at the bar with the iron glove on one and and a drink in the other. Standing up from the floor Cara looks over her body, nothing seemed broken and nothing hurt.
"What the Hell?" She glared. "You could have killed me." She whispered mostly to herself checking running her hand over the back of her head before checking her palm for any sign of blood.
"Look at that not even a limp? Scratch?" Tony asked putting his glass down. "Is your shirt even slightly singed? Now that's what I call durability."
"I think we got the durability part Stark." Clint said walking over to the girl helping her to the sofa as she assured him she was fine. "She fell three thousand feet." He reminded.
"Just checking," He defended. "Never hurts to check, well it didn't hurt me or her." He pointed out.
"Your lucky I wanna keep you from dying." Cara muttered to herself.
"What?" Tony asked.
"Nothing." Cara sighed. "Nothing at all."
"Anyways," Tony said squinting his eyes. "Let's get you set up with a room and ready for that training." Tony said taking off down the hallway Cara rushing to follow.
"I'm still not doing that." Cara said slowing down as she falls into step with the older man.
Two days that was all, this was good right? It gives her a chance to get her plan together like how was she going to find Bucky or maybe stop Scott from going into the quantum tunnel and missing five years of his daughter's life. However that was caused by the snap which won't happen if she could figure out how to stop Thanos.
"Here you go," Tony said stopping in front a door typing in a few numbers.
The door slides open revealing a quite luxurious bedroom with various shades of grey covering the walls and floors.
"I hope this is up to you standards." Tony says following her in. "I mean it's not Asgard, but."
"I'm not from Asgard, Tony." Cara said rolling her eyes.
"Well, goodnight." Tony brushed off turning to leave.
"Goodnight?" Cara asked.
"Oh it's a term we use here on earth, before you go to sleep," Tony informed sarcastically. "and sleep is when us human close our eyes and our bodies recharge for the upcoming day." He finished.
"I know what sleep is." She counted.
"But we're still confused on the term goodnight." Tony pointed out.
"I just didn't realize it was night, I actually have no idea what time it is." Cara suddenly realized.
"The time is currently 11:46pm ma'am." Jarvis' voice flows through the room.
"thanks Jarvis." Tony answered before continuing on his way out. "Make sure to rest up cause there's no way that training with widow isn't happening." He called over his shoulder allowing the door to close behind him.
Looking around, Cara made her way over to the bed allowing her body to fall backwards and letting out a sigh.
'I'M SO SCREWED!" She shouts into the empty room. "when I chose M.C.U. New York over D.C. Gotham I didn't know this was going to happen."
All the things she had needed to do, the death she wanted to prevent. She couldn't even begin to think of a way to get into Wakanda to warn them of Killmonger, or maybe get to Killmonger and talk him out of trying to kill T'challa, Maybe stop King T'chaka from dying and the Avengers from falling apart.
There was no way she could remember all this and what if the changes she made weren't for the best... Would the T.V.A try to stop her?
Writing it down would be a disaster waiting to happen, if anyone found it Avenger or otherwise who knows what could happen.
"I need a shower." She muttered sitting up on the bed, running her hands over her face in frustration.
"I can get the shower prepared for you ma'am." Jarvis replied as running water sound from one of the closed doors in the room. "Do you have a preferred temperature?"
"Warm?" Cara asked.
"Warm water is typically between 110 - 90 degrees Fahrenheit." Jarvis informed.
"Ummm 100." Cara answered with a shrug, all these were problem she could solve tomorrow, for now the only thing on her mind was showering and getting to finally rest her mind.

"Excuse me? What tattoo did you get removed?"
He smiles saying "A few, actually. Why do you ask?"
I narrow my eyes at him and Scott says "What grown man keeps a tattoo of his ex-wife's drivers license miniaturized on his chest."
I smile and say "Wow. I'm offended. Thought I was the one in a million, y'know."
Scott says "God, I still remember the argument it caused. Mom was so mad when he came home with that."
I laugh saying "Chris' 18th birthday."
Scott nods saying "You got your license that year, and you both were very drunk."
I smile and Chris nods "I remember. Definitely. We made the guy put Evans as your last name instead as Dylan."
Scott says "Yeah. And the first pool day we had that summer, James pushed Chris into the water and everyone saw the tattoo."
Chris sighs saying "It was definitely a statement. My dad.. god he was so happy when I got it removed."
I smile saying "My drivers license to this day is still my picture from when we went down there together on my 16th birthday to get it. They never changed the photo, even after we went to legally change my name on my license when I was 18 years old."
"God we got married young."
Scott says "I've been saying that since the beginning."
We approach the food table and I smile to him
"I know. It's your heaven in the form of a food table."
I nod and look to him as I look at the huge selection of food. I shake my head saying "They have every type of danish to exist. Oh my god."
"Don't vomit from all the crap you're about to eat."
"I have a very high tolerance to junk food."
"Oh trust me. I remember the amount of pure sugar you consumed a couple months before Jack was born."
I nod and smile saying "I remember you creating this cookie brownie skillet thing for me and oh my god I wanted to marry you all over again in that moment. Especially after you ordered that cheese pizza from Frankie's."
He nods and says "I believe I was rewarded with a really great thank you."
I punch his arm and laugh. "Shut up."
"I remember it!"
"You're so annoying."
I look up while I'm chewing on the way too big of a pastry in my mouth
Chris yanks the pastry from my mouth and I put my finger up while I chew quickly
He says "Just spit it out."
I shake my head no and he says "There's way too much in your mouth."
I laugh while I chew and smile as I cover my face. Scott says "Gross." Chris attempts to suppress a smile and I hear him laugh
I nod as I finish my bite and Scott shakes his head. He says "How did you two even fall into bed together? Do you two have any self control do you?"
"Friends can fuck." Chris says
My eyes widen and I go into a coughing fit. I laugh but cough loudly as I push Chris. Scott says "God no they can't."
Startled by an outside voice, all three of us flinch when we hear the loud “Chris!”
I turn with the other two as my eyes widen with the approach of Robert and Scarlett
Scarlett smiles to Scott saying “Hey Scott.”
“Hi Scarlett. Nice to see you again.” Scott smiles to Scarlett
Robert extends a hand to me saying “Robert. Nice to meet you.”
My eyes widen and I mutter “ohmygod Robert Downey jr..”
Chris chuckles at my momentarily long fan girl moment as I shake Robert’s hand for too long. He pats my shoulder and I say “holy shit. Iron man.”
Chris shakes his head laughing saying “sorry. She doesn’t get out much.”
“Yes I do. Don't embarrass me in front of iron man.” I push his shoulder.
Scarlett says “holy shit."
All of us look to her as she continues "I didn’t think it was you at first but just seeing the two of you together.. y/n, oh my god.”
My eyes widen and Scott says “uh..”
Robert says “I’m out of the loop. Scarlett you know her?”
Scarlett says “Of course I know her she was Chris’..”
Scott clears his throat saying “Oh Jules! You need to meet Paul!” quickly switching the conversation away from the topic of me
I look to Scott as he gives me a look and Chris says “Oh yeah... Paul Rudd.”
I gasp and look to Chris. He smiles and Robert says “What is she doing?”
I shake Chris' arm up and down repeating "No way. No way. No freaking way. You were just not gonna tell me?"
He laughs and says "I guess I have to introduce you to him now."
Scott shakes his head saying "She had a Paul Rudd poster on her wall after Clueless came out. She was obsessed with him."
"I had a clueless poster, that just happened to have him in it. Alright, I wasn't that obsessed."
Scott shakes his head and Chris says "You made me watch the movie at least a hundred times."
Scarlett says "Now that's commitment."
I look past them and I spot a familiar face. I say surprised "Is that Lizzie Olsen?"
Robert says "Elizabeth? Talking to Paul Bettany? Uh, yeah."
I smile and remove my hand from Chris' arm. I begin to walk away and he says "Wait-"
Scott says "I'll go chase after her."
Scarlett gives Chris a look and says "You brought your-"
"Robert, did the Russo's tell you about the update to the script?"
Scarlett looks to him, narrowing her eyes at him as I say "Lizzie!"
She spins on her feet and looks to me confused. She says "y/n?"
I smile and nod. She quickly approaches as she laughs "Oh my god! I haven't seen you in decades!"
I hug her tightly and Scott says "Wait, what?"
She says "Oh my god. How have you been?"
"Good. I've been good. Look at you, oh my god you're so beautiful. And successful!"
She laughs saying "Thank you. I can't believe you're here. How are you here?"
I look to Scott and say "I'm here with Scott and Chris."
"You know Chris?"
Scott scoffs saying "That's saying it lightly."
I glare at him and Paul says "Pardon the intrusion, how exactly do the two of you know each other?"
I look to him and smile. Liz says "Her brother was in most of my sisters movies and shows. They did a lot of acting together growing up. So, off the screens our families got to know each other pretty well. I hung out with her on set while our siblings filmed. And we were in ballet together. God I haven't seen you in forever."
I nod saying "How are your sisters?"
"Good. They're working on their fashion line. They've taken a break from acting. But they're good. How's James?"
"He's good. He quit acting too, he's going to be so interested to know that I ran into you. You know how close he was with Ashley."
She smiles saying "And we always said that we wished they'd get married so we could be sisters."
I laugh and Scott says "Honestly, how did I never know this?"
Paul says "Alright, I've got to know, how do the Evans' know.. I'm sorry, I never got your name miss."
Lizzie says "This is y/n dylan."
Scott mutters "Evans." I cough over his voice and say "I grew up down the street from Chris and Scott."
"Oh really? What a small world!"
Scott says "Yeah. Who knew."
Paul says "I'm Paul Bettany, pleasure to meet you."
I smile and say "Of course. Nice to meet you too."
Scott rolls his eyes and I clear my throat slightly
I am going to slap him if he doesn't lose the attitude.
Lizzie says "What brought you to Atlanta?"
"Oh, just visiting Scott and Chris. Nothing too special."
Scott says "And to get some legal documents signed, right Jules?"
"Oh?" Liz says
I nod, gritting my teeth saying "Yup. Still have some adult things I need to handle. That's apart of being a grown up."
Paul nods and Scott says "Yes, because avoiding or putting things off is very childish. Very high school. Don't you think?"
"Considering some of the things people put off are related to high school. It doesn't seem that odd."
He scoffs and says "Yeah, maybe. High school problems that went on for ten years or more. Right?"
I narrow my eyes at him and then turn back towards Elizabeth. I smile and say "It was so great to see you. We should grab lunch or something soon."
"Yes. Of course. Here, why don't I give you my number?"
I nod and she slides her phone out of her pocket. I slide my phone out of my pocket and we switch phones. She fills in her contact for me as I do the same
Robert steps away from Chris and Scarlett at the directors request as they need to get him to costume and makeup.
Scarlett looks back towards me and Lizzie as we talk. Chris clears his throat as he says "Well I should-"
"Why is your wife that I haven't heard a thing about in a very long time suddenly back here now?"
Chris clears his throat saying "What?"
"Your wife. y/n. I haven't seen her since the filming of nanny diaries."
Chris pauses, he sinks into his shoulders and I look over towards Chris as Paul runs off to go shoot the next scene. Lizzie says "Alright, I've gotta run off. Message me alright?"
I nod and she quickly follows after Paul. Scott says "Alright, I can't believe you knew the Olsen twins and never told me."
I ignore him as I walk forward towards Chris as Scarlett leans into him for answers. "You guys obviously still aren't an item? That doesn't make any sense if you were. You're with Jenny."
I pause as I reach them. Chris just stares at Scarlett blankly as she says "Chris?"
"Hi Scarlett." I chime in
She says "y/n. I was just about to ask Chris where your son was. Last time I saw him he was probably only 5 years old and he had the cutest little buzz lightyear costume on. Helmet and everything."
My eyes widen slightly and Chris tilts his head slightly. We momentarily make eye contact and I falter at the memory as I say "Pretty big movie you guys are shooting." quickly changing the topic off Jack
She looks to me confused and says "Yeah..it is. Where have you been y/n?"
"Oh. I moved to California. Hey, Scarlett I heard you had a daughter. Congratulations."
She smiles and nods "Yeah, Rose, A few months ago. Are you two just going to keep avoiding questions?"
"What questions?" I quip
She narrows her eyes at me saying "Where's Jack?"
I sink into my shoulders and my throat tightens. She says "He should be, what 10 or older?"
My chest tightens and Chris says "Scarlett. That's enough."
"What? I haven't heard a thing about him or-"
My arms wrap around myself as I shake my head. Chris says "It's not exactly a story for today okay? I think you're needed in makeup. Like the others."
She sighs and nods. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be intrusive. It was nice to see you again Jules. Don't be a stranger alright? We used to be friends back in the day you know?" She smiles to me
I nod and slap a fake smile on my face. It drains off my face as she walks away and I stare blankly at the trailer in front of me.
Chris says cautiously "y/n?"
He continues carefully "She didn't know. I haven't told many people. I will make sure to tell her the truth. She won't bring it up again."
I shrug and say, nearly ignoring what he’s saying "He was only five, Chris. Five years old. That's all we got with him." slowly the composure slips away.
He nods saying "I know. He was too young."
"It isn't fair."
"I know. We can't do this here honey."
"I shouldn't have left you. You were in pain just like I was. You lost him too."
He shakes his head saying "y/n. I'm glad you want to talk about this but this is really not the place. I will talk all this over with you, you just need to get out of here. Scott will take you to get some coffee to calm you down and I'll leave set early tonight."
I frown and say "I'm being over emotional."
"You are not. You're being appropriately emotional. Losing a child is difficult."
I nod and step away from him. He says “I’ll get Scott. And you’ll be in good hands with him.”
I frown and he looks over to Scott who picks at the cards on the bulletin board. “Scott?”
Scott walks over saying “Hey..., Jules?”
I glare at the ground clearing my throat saying “Hey Scott. I’m gonna leave my rental car here with Chris. What would you say to accepting Chris’ wishes of getting us off set and grabbing a coffee or something?”
He scoffs and says “we aren’t going to just play buddy buddy all over ag-”
Chris slaps his shoulder, pushing him as I slip my arms over my abdomen. Tightening them as I nod quickly
“Yeah. Sorry. Yes. You’re right. You’re definitely right.”
Quickly I reach for my bag on the table and Scott looks to Chris confused as I fish out my phone in my bag
I hear a quick bicker between the two and Scott says “Aaa fine, I can’t just piss away 25+ years of friendship.”
He grabs my arm and pulls me away. I look to Chris as his sad eyes watch me leave
Scott talks to himself as I pull my attention back to where I’m walking as I can’t see Chris any longer at the distance away we are now
I blurt out “he made you help me. I know he did.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
“You don’t go from yelling and being so incredibly mad at me to this.”
I pull my wrist from his grip as we continue walking.
He says “He didn’t have to say anything. You have that dopey look on your face and I felt guilty. We don’t have to talk about anything but I’m still not leaving you.”
We get in his car and silence sits there as he turns the key in the ignition.
The car starts and he begins driving
My emotions well up within me and the sound of the road isn’t enough to muffle out my quick growing sobs
Scott looks to me confused as I don’t even form cohesive sentences as I blubber about Jack.
About my old life.
How I ruined everything
"That stupid costume he wouldn't take off. It wasn't stupid. He was so cute.."
“I should’ve been a better mother.”
He says “what? Who-”
“They both deserved better than me..”
“y/n. what the hell has gotten into you?”
He pulls off the road so quickly and I shake my head as I pull on the door handle desperate to just escape the Evans family
It’s too much
Years on years of suppressed emotion is drowning me.
I shake my head and he says “here.”
He hands me a ziplock baggie and I push it away saying “I don’t have a sandwich that needs to be bagged leave me alone.”
He laughs and says “For your breathing you goof.”
“I’m- im fine. Just a lot. It is just a lot. A lot of suppressed emotions. A lot of pain. And it’s all floating to the surface.”
“Yeah. Me too. God I haven’t seen you in forever. You haven’t aged a day miss y/n.”
I smile and shake my head
He says “that drowning feeling goes away with time. don’t run. Whatever you do. Don’t run. It doesn’t help.”
I frown and nod slowly.
But there’s nothing more I’d like to do.
I want to run.
I need to run
It’s in my nature. I run from my problems and suppress them until they overwhelm me
He says “just don’t run. he can’t take it, not again.”
I frown and nod slowly. “I won’t.. I won’t run.”

'“You’re an Irishman, are ya?” Cillian Murphy says, his features visibly softening, as I begin talking over Zoom. “Thank god.”
Two truisms about Cillian Murphy that are often repeated online: He hates doing interviews, but he loves Ireland. If he must talk to the press – which, being the lead of Christopher Nolan's mammoth blockbuster Oppenheimer, he absolutely must – the least I can do is give him a chance to talk about our shared homeland. So, with this introduction, we're off to a good start.
It's about 10 days before Oppenheimer drops, but Murphy and the big A-bomb movie – along with Greta Gerwig's Barbie – already seem to be taking up the majority of the internet's consciousness. In the film, he plays J Robert Oppenheimer, the man credited with leading the creation of the atomic bomb during World War Two. Though he has starred in a handful of Christopher Nolan blockbusters already, this is his first as a proper leading man. So, the scrutiny is greater than ever. He is wearing it well. “I'm not a huge fan of talking about myself,” he says, “but I fully believe in this movie, and I love promoting it. So I'm very comfortable with all of that.”
GQ: How often do you get people calling you “Sillian”?
Cillian Murphy: Less and less now actually. But it doesn't bother me. Then I very pedantically explain to them that there's no ‘K’ in the Irish language and it gets really boring.
You used to live in London, but moved to Dublin in 2015. I heard you said your kids were getting English accents so you took them home.
Yeah. That was a joke. [Laughs].
Well, people have really run with it. Do you need to personally relate to characters, and could you do so with Oppenheimer?
Well, first of all, it's imperative not to judge the character. Because then you've lost as a performer. You have to try and understand [them]. You have to be like a kind of emotional detective. But your job primarily is to define the truth in the character to try and portray them in a truthful way.
Emily Blunt said recently that during filming you didn't go for cast dinners because your ‘brain was too full’. Robert Downey Jr. said that at times it felt like you were ‘icing’ him. How much did playing Oppenheimer affect you?
It was a big part, and there were big, big questions that were grappling with, these huge ethical, moral questions. And Chris had written the script in the first person. So I knew that a lot of the weight was on my shoulders, even though we have this incredible ensemble. There was a responsibility that I felt about playing the part. That's just the way I work. I get very consumed by the work, and I don't really have time for hanging out. And in this movie, I was [regularly] skipping dinner, you know, so I wasn't great craic to hang out with. But that's just the way it was. It's just the nature of the work.
You’re not method, though, right?
Well, here's the thing, right? Method is like a euphemism. We all have a method to get to the final result. And whatever that method is, it's personal and unique to each actor. It's become sort of confused, I think, with the Stanislavski approach. But every actor has their own individual method.
Yeah. But you’re not what people generally view to be method, staying in character the whole time?
Inevitably, if you play a character for a long time, and I was researching him for six months, then shooting it for however long that was.. And you're playing them 18 hours a day every day. By osmosis, you're exchanging atoms, You become consumed or immersed [by it], that's just the way it is.
You mentioned skipping meals. What was the weirdest food day that you had while you were losing all that weight?
Oh, man. I just want to be very careful on this. This was for work, and we structured it pretty well. Inevitably, you do start getting competitive with yourself and all that, but it was for a purpose. He was a very, very slight guy. And he was very self-conscious about that. And it gave him this very unique, particular kind of iconic silhouette. And when you're that weight, it affects the way clothes hang on you, it affects the way you walk, it obviously changes the shape of your face and all that. So that was very useful for the character. But I really don't want to make a big deal about ‘oh, Cillian lost all this weight’.
Taking this lead role on has brought a lot of attention. I've read recent interviews you've done that it's not necessarily your favourite thing. Do you at times feel like the pressure of being the leading man, especially in a movie on this scale is a lot to deal with?
Yeah, but to clarify the thing about interviews, I love talking about the movie, I love talking about music and books and art. I'm not a huge fan of talking about myself. And I don't, and I don't think anyone really is, but I fully believe in this movie, and I love promoting it. So I'm very comfortable with all of that. And in terms of, you know, how it changes your life or anything like that, or changes how people perceive you that that hasn't changed for me, you know, my life has been exactly the same as it always was.
The Oppenheimer script is very dense. How much does that impact how you go about shooting it?
You have to be completely prepared. I knew the script more or less before we went into work, which isn't so not something I've ever done before. Only in theatre, because there was so much text, and it was quite dense. I wanted to not be worried about the text when I went on the floor. But then, a lot of the scenes I have with Downey, it was quite loose and quite improvisational. I mean, acting with him was was was was just extraordinary. He's just electrifying, the most available engaged, present, unpredictably brilliant actor I've ever worked with.
The film ends on a close-up shot of you, taking in the weight of what the preceding 3 hours have meant for the future of mankind. What are you thinking in that moment when you’re shooting it, knowing you’ve got the weight of the movie on your shoulders?
You can't let it get into your head. You've just got to think about the truth of the scene. For example, when we were shooting the Trinity test, all of us actors and Chris and all the crew, were aware of the weight of that sequence, and what it meant, but you can't let it control you, you know. And I think I've learned that over the years, you know, when you get on the floor, and you get on, you just forget about that stuff. You have to train your mind to not let it affect your performance.
Were you there for the actual explosion that was created?
I was there for components of it. There are different sort of sections of it. I was there for some of it. With Chris, everything is done for real. I've never done a green screen scene with Chris and I never will, I imagine. So what it does is it puts the performer into the atmosphere, or the environment as close as possible to what the character is feeling. You know, and I've, I've been out in boats with Chris on the sea and up in mountains in the snow. It just elevates your performance.
There has been a lot of chatter about the sex scene in this movie, and a wider chat about whether sex scenes are necessary in film at all. Where do you fall on that?
I think they were vital in this in this movie. I think the relationship that he has with Jean Tatlock is one of the most crucial emotional parts of the film. I think if they're key to the story then they're worthwhile. Listen, no one likes doing them, they're the most awkward possible part of our job. But sometimes you have to get on with it.
With a bit of distance between yourself and Oppenheimer, are you able to judge him just a little bit?
I'm really not going to give you an opinion on that. I really strongly believe that the film should ask the questions of the audience. And I don't want to prejudice anybody's point of view, when they go into the movie theatre, about what how they feel and Oppenheimer. What I will say, is that Oppenheimer – Chris called him the most important man that ever lived, whatever you think about that. That's up to you. But we are living in a world that was changed by Oppenheimer. We're living in a nuclear age because of what Oppenheimer did.
You and Christopher Nolan have discussed how you nearly got the role of Batman. Is there a part of you that thinks that it was maybe for the best that you didn’t?
Yes, I think it was for the best because we got Christian Bale's performance, which is a stunning interpretation of that role. I never considered myself as the right physical specimen for Batman. To me, it was always going to be Christian Bale.
Tom Hardy didn’t make it into this Nolan film. Do you have plans to work together again?
He's one of the best actors in the business. And we've developed this great trust and shorthand and there's a nice kind of chemistry, I think, between the two of us. I'd love to work with him again. Maybe there'll be a Peaky Blinders film. Maybe we'll get to do it there. I'm not sure.
What’s the latest on the Peaky Blinders film?
I have no update for you, man. I'm waiting to hear, but it's a tricky time with all these strikes and everything going on. I’ve always said that if there's more story to tell, I'd be there.'

The stewardess
Pt.1
Chris Evans x reader
Warnings: cussing? Idk horrible, awful, disgusting writing because I haven’t done this in a while
Prompt: Y/N is a stewardess on RDJs yacht. This years guest: Chris Evans.
Word count: 835
Authors note: oh my god. Damn. Yeah. Yeah I’m back! So this is the start of a new series bc I have recently become obsessed with Chris Evans. For those of you wondering, I will be continuing two shorten the road once summer starts. It’s more difficult to write because I am following the plot of the movie so it takes longer. This is just the start of more fics. Also the writing is awful bc I haven’t been doing it!
Not mine!
You would think living on a yacht owned by one of the worlds most famous actors would be amazing. And you would be right. Hi, I’m Y/N and I am the stewardess on Robert Downey Jr's yacht.
When I first got this job, I needed money. I knew how to cook and I had worked as a bartender my last 2 years of college. After I graduated, I got a job at a restaurant in NYC. This restaurant however, wasn’t just any restaurant: it was a 2 Michelins star restaurant at the top of the Empire State Building. My plan was to work there for a few years a learn some skills from the chef so I could eventually open my own cafe. This plan though, didn’t really hold up. On the 2nd year of working there I was hired by my current employer RDJ. He saw me and tipped a fuck load. He came back a few times and specifically requested me as his waiter. After the 5th time, I was to be the new stewardess on his new yacht.
That was 2 years ago now and RDJ is practically my father now. He let me stay and manage his yacht even when he wasn’t on it. I went everywhere the yacht went. South of Frace, Monaco, Costa brava, you name it. RDJ was also a fantastic host, he always was inviting his friends with him on these month long trips along to gorgeous European coastlines. I had met Gwenyth Paltrow, Mark Ruffalo, Tom holland and a lot more. This summer he invited Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie to join him on his trip to Monte Carlo.
Now I must admit, when I got the call that CHRIS EVANS was going to be on the same boat as me I got a little too excited. I had been waiting for RDJ to invite him because I may or may not have a small crush on him. But I mean who doesn’t? He’s charming, funny, hot and he knows it. They were supposed to be arriving tomorrow and I needed to prepare. That meant making sure the maid had changed and made the beds, going and buying food from markets and stores to stalk up for the meals me are Collin would be making. Collin is the head chef on the boat and is from london. Collin is definitely an interesting person. He is 3 years older than me and thinks he knows everything, but we get along well enough. I packed up my bag and grabbed my keys to go shopping for everything single food item you could think of.
The next day RDJ, Chris and Anthony arrived at around 1. I watched carefully as Chris got out of the car. Damn he was fucking hot. Once the car drove away I headed down to greet them.
“Hi!” I said cheerfully to the three men
“Ugh Y/N!” Said RDJ as he embraced me. “It’s so good to see you! Let me tell you, that flight was a rough one I could really use some….refreshments” he said raising his eyebrows
I giggled “yes ofc they are right inside waiting for you”
He gasped and clapped his hands together cheerfully “perfect! Gentlemen! This is Y/N my stewardess!” He introduced me to the two men.
Anthony walked over and greeted me but Evans just stood there. Sunglasses on, suitcase in one hand. After a moment he walked up to me and shook my hand sternly. Not saying a word, he followed the other two inside. I must admit that I was quite disappointed. I had heard such good things about him I was really looking forward to getting to be around him. He definitely wasn’t as pleasurable as I thought it would be. I shook it off and signalled the two bus boys to grab the rest of the bags.
We brought them in and placed them in their rooms. Once we finished I headed out to check on the boys. They sat on the couch that overlooked the harbor, drinking and laughing.
“Ah! Y/N! Another drink please!” Said RDJ
“Hoohoohoo yes please! I’ll take another one too!”said Anthony
“Alright” I laughed “and for you Mr. Evans?”
“Another beer please” his voice was low and sounded almost angry. I wondered if something had happened to put him in this mood. Nevertheless I walked over to the bar and prepared all of their drinks. Much to my surprise Evans came over to get them.
“Oh don’t worry about it! I can bring them to you!” I said as he began to walk over
He continued walking over to me, sunglasses and hat still on. “That’s alright” he grabbed all the drinks and brought them over to Anthony and RDJ. I sighed, that was nice but the manner was not. Hopefully after a few drinks he would be in a better mood, after all, tomorrow morning we would be leaving for Monte carlo.

Prelude to "How Black Panther could have been written better"
I'm going to be writing a master post on the top 6 ways the Black Panther series could have been better written, but that's going to come from a place of exploring actual critical thinking in writing. Not using meta politics and emotional reactions to project flaws onto the movies that have little to do with writing.
For example: M'Baku and Okoye tie as comic relief characters whose flaws and jibes represent the downsides of classic fantasy warrior races: M'Baku in personality, Okoye in worldview. T'Challa and Shuri groan in resigned dignity when M'Baku and Okoye loudly give their opinions; however M'Baku was designed to spit very real facts in a rude way, why Okoye complains about things in a way that gives you a sense of what an average "my country, wrong or right" Wakandan thinks. Both are designed to get a "Oh, that's just them!" reaction from us.
And yet... there are people who will say they are poorly written simply because M'Baku is one of the only men therefore he should not represent any comic relief at all because it somehow peppers him as incompetent, or Okoye should be smarter and more worldly than she is because even though her All Wakandan charm is what contrasts her from the actually worldly spy Nakia, it makes that viewer uncomfortable to see Okoye be on the wrong side of the conversation so many times. There are people who resent M'Baku for not having "more screentime" as if the minutes he spends on camera is more important than the impact he makes.
These are not legitimate criticisms of the writing of Black Panther. If it makes you uncomfortable for a man to be amusing, or a woman to be wrong, that's not a flaw of someone else's for writing them that way. When M'Baku strolls into the Throne Room eating and mocking the River Tribe, it's just his version of "Well, I'm just a humble country lawyer trying to do the best I can against this brilliant prosecutor from the big city of Lansing." A trope, by the way, dating back to Romans! If a Senator steps up and says "Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking-" he's about to end your career! (Hell, this trope was used as a part of Moses' story.) This is WHY M'Baku becomes king and why it makes narrative sense. (It would be bad writing instead for Okoye to become Queen!) lol
Wanting a Black story and then being uncomfortable that means some Black characters will be wrong, pig-headed, dogmatic, conservative, traditionalist, patriotic, stubborn, or combative in contrast to other characters is not "bad writing." The point of a story is for characters to contrast each other so that a conversation can happen, so that conflict can escalate. Shuri cannot get properly frustrated as a modern, agnostic/atheist, scientific hero if her two councilors aren't religious traditionalists she has to explain such concepts as "more than one Vibranium meteorite could have fallen to Earth".
(Thank GOD Nakia, Shuri, M'Baku, T'Challa, and Okoye are all very close in skin color; if Nakia had been played by anyone besides the lovely Lupita, accusations of colorism would have been thrown around, too. The wisest casting decision since Robert Downey, Jr.)

Interrupted dream time! I was in some sort of acting workshop in New York City with Robert Downey Jr and some of the Avengers crew, and close to the end where we were telling people fake or true stuff about our lives, he started acting weird and mumbling stuff that seemed to be about my future.
After leading me around the block for a couple of minutes, he then burst into laughter and went “oh god, you’re desperate! Normally people catch on after a couple of minutes! Half of you doesn’t even believe me, but the other half is just hanging on for dear life! You just force yourself to keep following me!”
So that fucking hurt, because Dream-Me is the same as Actual-Me in that I am broke as a joke, and I needed to shell out a LOT of money to get a spot in this workshop. I started rage-crying and yelling at him like, “You motherfucker! Do you do this to all poor people, or just the ones you don’t know?!”
A couple minutes of rage-crying and ranting later, he got worried when I told him I was going home and he could fuck off with everyone’s money for all I knew, and he was like, “Wait, you think I’m just ditching you like this??? NO, HONEY, I’m not Elon Musk! If I say I’m gonna help people, I actually do it! Oh shit, you said seeing ghosts when you were a kid was real, didn’t you? IS THAT WHY YOU KEPT BELIEVING ME? Did you think I’m another spirit-worker??? Oh, we ESPECIALLY need to help you out now—we’re not fucking with dead people.”
And I’m like, extremely confused as RDJ starts acting weird for real, and he’s calling the Avengers crew by their characters’ names. I’m still half-crying and I’m going, “I am not eight years old, Robert, I know you aren’t Tony Stark in real life.”
And he’s like, “don’t worry, honey, Rob’s watching. STEVE is the one who just buckles in for an eight-to-twelve-hour joyride.”
The crew then slightly freaks out, and when RDJ heads off for something, I’m going, “wait, so Robert was joking with the acting-weird prophetic stuff, but NOW he’s talking to Iron Man because of my ghost thing, and you guys… are used to it? Is something wrong with him right now???”
And Chris/Steve is just going “Look honey, sometimes the Avengers bleed over for a bit. They respond to weird stuff like this, and we’ve learned that when they do, it’s going to be a RIDE. Not the dangerous kind, though! At least I hope not. You are SO tiny. Cap, normal people are BREAKABLE.”
—
And then I woke up and I am still confused. Was I about to get money or a book deal from RDJ, or was I about to go on hijinx with the Avengers actors, who get taken over by the real deal?
Edit: fixed a couple of typos, and now that I’ve had coffee, this sounds like Everything Everywhere All At Once. Lmao
