Streets of Fandom, Saturday Evening

[tyler_gone]

There was fighting to do. Of course two superheroes, a samurai, and a .... guy who randomly liked to blow things up would be out, trying to defend the island.

Tyler was armed with high, heavy boots, a baseball bat, and a handgun tucked into his jeans. He just had one question as the group assembled:

"Nate, you're seriously going to use a sword?"

[OOC: For Steve, Tony + Algren, pls.]

"Don't say technology, Steve," Nathan advised, flicking his sword downward to shake some of the gore from it. "Tony might turn it into a sexbot."

Look, he only had to stumble on these things in shock for a moment before he could grab on and milk something for what it was worth. He had taught last semester with Kirk, after all.

He'd been broken in.

"I'll have you know, it belonged to me first."

Steve ignored Tony and Nathan to answer Tyler. "It's--mine, anyway, this one is technically Tony's property, so I'm not sure about it; it's not exactly the same--an alloy of two rare metals with unique properties. It has a very precise balance." He slung it again and said, "And I've had a lot of practice," as it ricocheted, then caught it.

Also, his reflexes were ridiculous, but he didn't like to brag.

"And you're really good with it," Tyler observed, since some things were just kind of obvious. "I'd ask for a try if we weren't trying to kill things right now."

Bam. Bam. Bam. Beating gremlins with a baseball bat was hypnotic.

[shiroi_tiger]

And messy. Of course, there didn't seem to be many ways to fend off gremlins that weren't messy, so...

"Pass it around once the killer gremlins are dealt with, Steve. We can all have a go at it."

It would be funny.

"I'll make sure to alert the clinic." Because there was no way in hell Tony was going to throw that and not injure someone.

[screwyoumarvel]

Most likely himself.

Steve squelched down his first instinct, which was to yell something along the lines of, 'No it's mine!' at them. "Let me ask you something," he said in a level tone, and caught another gremlin against his shield, using the leverage to send it flying. "Would you ask for a go in the Iron Man armor just for the heck of it?"

[tyler_gone]

The flying gremlin spun and landed at Tyler's feet. He yelped and kicked it away.

"Well, but that's different," he said.

Give him a second, and he'd work out how.

"It feels way easier to hurt yourself in a flying suit than with a shield," he offered. "And the suit wouldn't fit me."
