“And my mom’s the Black Widow, don’t forget that. Besides, I’m not picking a fight with you, idiot.” She rolled her eyes, chuckling as she gave him a light shove. “I’m stopping you from getting into a fight.” She may have been the sort to enjoy watching a good old fashioned  brawl, but not when her friends were involved, and especially not when the other guy looked like, well, that. “Do you even need to ask if he’d really have gone for you?” she asked, tugging his arm as she started moving away from the angry man behind her. “I think his face says it all.”

“You say that like it’s an easy thing to forget.” Ben smirked, and feigned a stumble at the impact. Perfect balance made him hard to topple over, but it was far more for comedic effect. “Yeah, yeah I know, saving my ass. But that’s what these are for,” he lifted his wrists, grinning, “And don’t forget my irresistible charm.” Ben let her pull him away from the increasingly angry-looking man, and slung an arm over her shoulder. “What, you scared of him breaking my pretty face?”

coldonesnart:

Snart. The last name even sounded to harsh. Lincoln sighed and twirled around. “I, yes. I’m making snowflakes. See?” His frosty hands created little snowflakes in his palms. His blue eyes looked up at the man in front of him. He stood up straight and mocked him. “What are you doing wandering around here at this time of night?

Ben leaned forward to catch a glimpse of the snowflakes. Pretty, but they didn’t offer much of an explanation. “I see,” he said coolly, eyes narrowing. He wasn’t particularly impressed with the other’s behaviour. “Pretty sure that’s my business.” Ben crossed his arms. “I’m also pretty sure students aren’t permitted in this part of the building.”

thorsdcttir:

“ because if i did my father would just DRAG me back here. “ she was here out of punishment, anyways. she thought that she’d at least stay here where she had some family. besides, she didn’t even know HOW to get back to asgard. 

“ sounds like a pretty shitty situation to me. ”  ben couldn’t help a smirk, hardly feeling any sympathy for her.  “ you seem pretty clever, though, i’m sure you could find a way out.”

gammasgirl:

she placed a gentle hand on his shoulder, smiling faintly before she spoke. “it’s alright, i am.” and winnie was good with medical things, it came with growing up with bruce banner for a father. “breathe, ben. okay? you got this. you have to call an ambulance for him whilst i make sure he’s okay.”

ben looked up at her, his hands still on the shoulders of the stranger, and gave her a shaky smile. “that’s -- thanks.” he shifted to the side to give her room next to the body. no -- person. the guy was still breathing. he wasn’t a body. “yeah -- an ambulance. got it.” ben fumbled with what felt like far too long, but finally managed to get someone on the other side of the line. 911. what’s your emergency? “hi, uh, i found a man lying unconscious on the west side of paragon’s campus -- winnie, can you check if he has id on him?”

shcot-for-the-mcon:

“I feel like that’s not true.” Garrett responded in his usual light tone that made him sound a little too carefree. “I’m usually not, but, hey, every once in a blue moon it just happens to happen. I don’t know if I would call it a ‘death machine with wings’. I’m sure it’s safe as long as you’re flying with someone who knows what they are doing.” Which he was not. “Well, since I’m only mildly offended by your lack of faith in my piloting skills, I’ll take you up on that beer.”

"Lots of things are safe when you’re with someone who knows what they’re doing. Like driving, or shooting a gun. Look, bud, if I was bothered by every person I mildly offended I’d be shacked up in Arkham already. Besides, it’s only mildly. The other day I got decked in the face cause I told a guy his dad deserved to die in a hole. Which, by the way, he did, but hey, it could always be worse.” Ben shrugged. “Let’s go get those beers. I’ve been dying to try out that new bar that opened up off campus.”

killerclaire:

Claire bit the inside of her cheek. She could feel the cold rush starting in her chest and spreading to her stomach and abdomen and shoulders and neck. She took several deep breaths, trying to generate as much heat and relaxation in her body; anything to stop that demon from making an appearance. If she were released, who knows what she’d do to this guy.·“It was an accident…” she said calmly, once she thought the coast was clear, looking up at him slowly,·“I had no control and no idea what I was doing… one can apologize as many times as they want, but that doesn’t keep them from facing punishment.”

“Do you have any idea how cliché that excuse is? I mean, really, did you take Intro to Villainy and just skip after day one?” Ben smirked down at her. Maybe it was a dick move to just stand there, leaning back against the wall, while she was clearly struggling, but Ben had never concerned himself with being polite to people he didn’t care for, and had no intention of starting now.  “No, it doesn’t, because we all know what you did so you can drop this whole ‘it’s not my fault’ facade because, really, it’s getting old.”

riverhowlett:

“How about we accept that I did said I would cut your head off if you keep talking so you freaking shut the hole that serve you as mouth?” He asked, shrugging.

“Because that would mean I’d have to report it as a threat to my life, and that is a lot of paper work I don’t want to deal with, not to mention meetings and I’m sure you don’t need that kind of stress in your life, either. Like I said, try again, buddy.”

oriongriffon:

@spiiderben liked this for a starter

Orion had eaten a big breakfast. He ate so much, he could barely move. He felt so heavy. “Do you think if I set myself on fire, I’ll feel lighter?”

“Um, I’m going to go with no, but it does sound like a fantastic way to get yourself sent to the hospital.”

impossiblc:

“oh!” laughing, she shook her head. she should have guessed ben would have been invited. “i don’t think so, really doubt it. they can’t exactly say no but i’m sure there’s something frowned upon about it. they have to introduce us and it makes it weird when two come together.” she’d gone last near when a friend been honored at the dinner. “you’ll save me a dance though, right?” a little casual flirting never hurt anyone, right?

“oh come on, you never struck me as someone who cared much for stupid rules. and, let’s be honest, having to bring a date that hasn’t already been invited is a pretty stupid rule.” ben smiled down at her, leaning his shoulder against the wall and folding his arms. “who doesn’t love to make a couple of stuck up scientists uncomfortable? i, personally, would love to see something exciting happen at these things for once.” ben couldn’t be bothered to attend last year, but his parents made sure he’d accompanied them in years previous, invited or not. 

"You deserved that, asshole."

"Hey, fuck you, Finn. Just cause I said his dad deserves to die in a hole doesn’t give him the right to hand out broken noses and black eyes, okay?”

“ I ain’t ‘fraid of no ghosts. “

"Well, I’m glad one of us can freely admit that.” Ben looked around, trying his best to stifle a shudder. “This place gives me the fuckin’ creeps, Ariel. Let’s blow this popsicle stand.”

FMK: Pandora, Anastasia, Claire

"Marry Pandora? Shit’s weird, man. She’s basically a cousin. Fuck Claire, obviously. Sorry, Ana, please don’t kill me, but yeah, kill Anastasia.”

Any crushes on campus?

“Crushes? What? Does it look like we’re in middle school? No, I don’t have any crushes, because I’m an adult.”
