11th Bad Idea [Accidental Joint Video]
[ The video comes to life with a dull thud as Isaac's communicator falls off the couch and onto the floor. He doesn't sound or look all too bothered by it, if it weren't for the quick glance, it'd look like he doesn't even notice.
The video's sideways but it shows both Allison and Isaac, she's on the floor with her back against the couch in question, while he is draped across it, seeming to take up far too much room. His attention is back on Allison, and he's looking a bet vehement. ]
No way, Black Widow has all the same powers as Batman, less money, and still manages to kick more ass. Then there's the whole [ Airquotes ] men are supposed to be stronger than women thing.
[ Allison turns another page in the comic she's reading, totally unaware of the device having fallen, or it even being on. As far as she knows, she's just talking to her boyfriend, while also trying to educate herself on comics.
Well, "talking". They're mostly just arguing at this point. ]
Yeah, but she also had training, almost to a brainwashed level, for a government agency. Batman had to get all that done himself, without the help of the government hiding him. Money doesn't count when you have a country's taxes paying for everything.
[ But then she leans her head back, looking up at him with a smile. A content smile. A "that was cute you got brownie points for that one" kind of smile. Isaac may or may not get lost in her eyes for a second before leaning down to steal a chaste kiss. The fact that she's actually learned so much about this, well, it's endearing.
When he leans down to give her the kiss, she kisses him back. Light, easy. As far as she knows they're alone, after all, so what's the harm? ]
I'll give you the girls versus boys argument, though, but I'm not saying she's not really awesome. I'm just saying that in a fight, if given the time to research and prepare, Batman would totally win.
Batman has had training too! He's had lots of training -- I thought you said you watched the movies. And he has the money to get even more training. Money definitely counts, it totally cancels out her previous training and all the S.H.I.E.L.D. training. Besides Batman is a total crybaby, he gets upset over everything - Black Widow uses all the problems she's faced in her life as something to build off of. Batman's life isn't even that bad, but he acts like it couldn't get worse. Black Widow wouldn't need to research to kick Batman's ass.
You know what else? Black Widow has an interesting story. Batman? Not so much. Do you know how boring Batman actually is? Can you hand me my phone.
[ He leans back away from her and reaches an arm out to point at it, hoping she'll comply.
But when he leans back again, her smile drops and she huffs a little, mostly at herself.
She's not exactly a scholar, after all. ]
I meant that his training was self-driven. He wanted to be his ideal so he went out to learn everything he needed to do. He's a genius, yeah, but other than that he wasn't all that special. I have seen the movies, we watched them a couple of months ago. And money does not cancel out her previous and S.H.I.E.L.D. training!
[ She's not really upset, just kind of playing up her huff when she uses the comic to reach over her head and whack him. ]
Are you kidding me? He does not get upset over everything. Have you seen the movies? It also doesn't matter how bad his life is or how interesting his story is. What matters is the good he's doing. Trying to stop criminals and fight injustice, at the expense of his whole life.
He devoting himself to an ideal. You know, kind of like a code? [ She shoots a look over her shoulder at him, like she's asking him to argue that, as she reaches over to pick up the device and hand it to him over her shoulder, not even looking at it as she does so.
The feed moves with her as she moves the camera, pausing as it hangs over her shoulder. ]
Batman would so win.
[ And you have to agree to get your phone back.
Isaac tries to snatch it out of her hand, only to be denied a couple times before he gives up and makes a noise in the back of his throat that manages to sound offended... And then he's lunging off the couch to tackle her, knocking the device out of her hand and to the ground, where he snatches it up... Only to see that it's been recording from where he's perched on her. Not very comfortable, but that's what she gets for cheating! ]
Great... [ And with that, it clicks off. ]

[ eh, whatever. allison decides to move onto that next part. ]
I agree with you about that. Teams need to be able to work together.

Yeah. Robin aside? Batman's never exactly been what you'd call a team player.

[Kate frowns for a second, contemplating what little she knows about DC canon. Yeah, she's drawing a blank there.]
Sorry -- I'm not really up on comic book lore. It's more of my friends' thing.
