assembles: listening, unsure, suspicious, casual clothes (don't be jealous of my hunkiness)

and it's harder than you think [OPEN]

Who: Steve Rogers and YOU
Where: All around the island of Genosha
When: Throughout the event (08/05 - 08/09)
Rating: Mainly PG-13, possible R for violence
Summary: Steve is a Human outraged by the way that his kind are treated, and he isn't going to stay quiet about it... even if he is under 100 pounds and asthmatic. Responses will come from [personal profile] preserum.
The Story:
Tensions are rising and Steve is as ready as he can be.

He's already come to terms with the fact that he's hardly a key player in the Human Resistance Movement, but that won't stop him from contributing however he can. Some of his fellow resistance members don't hesitate to take him along when they plan an attack, while others are more insistent on him remaining back at their hideout to serve as support. Steve does what he can to make it into the action whenever possible — and well, if a mutant happens to get in his face while he's going about his life on Genosha, he isn't about to let them get away with it. He won't take their abuse, or curl into himself like a scared animal and whimper until he's left alone. He's going to give them a piece of mind, consequences be damned.

It's not like he hasn't paid for his boldness a number of times already. He's got some nasty scarring on his abdomen from burn wounds from a pyrokinetic — that would be the worst example, but he has plenty of other scrapes, bruises, and scars littered across his body like a map of all his bad decisions.

Whether Steve's back at the hideout checking in with other members of the resistance (which is also where he usually sleeps these days), or out on an assignment with them, or simply wandering around the island minding his own business, he won't make a secret of the issues he has with the way Humans are treated. With the Queen's remarks about them, he's more fired up than ever, and someone should either take advantage of his unruly temper or try to talk some sense into him.

He's got plenty of friends — supporters in his fight, people who are just as ready to fight for their rights. But he's also made plenty of enemies, and all it takes is one careless statement about Humans to get him seeing red.


[ OOC: I will respond to prose or brackets! Feel free to find Steve at the resistance hideout or wandering around the island making trouble. ]
hypoxic: (that's how I feel about it)

[He's this excited because he misses human contact. It's so rare to find someone likeminded, he'll take anything offered his way.]

Oh -- oh, that's just because...

[Oh, Steve's not going to like this part is he?]

Well. I -- was starting to show symptoms of the madness, back when I was making things for everyone... I kept having dangerous ideas. It was for the best that I stop spending time with you and everyone. I mean... Think about how many of them died because nobody rescued them in time.

[If it sounds like he's talking about humans the way some people scoff about stray cats, it's probably not wrong.]
preserum: (blue smoke and cider sounds)

[ Funny, that they live in a world where thinking for yourself is seen as madness. Steve misses the days when it felt like Fitz was actually on their side, when he'd wanted to help them. He has to wonder if maybe some mutant used their powers on him to influence him, to veer his thoughts into a different direction.

If that were the case, Steve wishes he knew how to undo it. But it's probably not that simple. No, this is much more insidious. ]


I happen to like dangerous ideas. [ Steve quirks a smile. ] So... if you ever want to come around again, don't hesitate.

[ For now, Steve will go check out this "study" with Fitz and see if there's anything to it, or if it's just another trap. He doesn't want Fitz getting himself into trouble because he thinks he's doing the right thing. ]
hypoxic: (or else I'm meaningless)

[He smiles weakly at that.]

She gets angry with me if I try to warn you about things. But... Maybe keep your friends away from the piers for a while, yeah? Won't be the good kind of dangerous if they get caught.
preserum: (curled above our heads)

[ "She." Steve already knows that Fitz means Caitlin. She seems to be the one responsible for his shift in mindset, or at least, Steve finds it easiest to blame her. But he doesn't speak her name now, knowing it will only lead to another argument.

The warning isn't something that Steve brushes off or takes lightly. He nods, knowing that Fitz must have some insider information. ]


I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, Fitz.

[ He lifts his hand for a moment, intending to give his old friend a pat on the shoulder, but ends up just placing it into his pocket instead. ]

Take care of yourself, okay? And I'll see you soon.
