[NEWS OUTLET VOICE OVER] Doctor Jane Foster was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for her groundbreaking work on the
Einstein-Rosen bridge theory attributed to Thor’s intergalactic travel methods, as well as her work in finding a cure and a treatment to those affected by Loki’s failed attempt at colonizing this world through the Battle of New York, last night in Stockholm, Sweden. She received the prize off the hands of now world famous theoretical physicist Ian Donnelly, who has gained recent fame in his collaboration with the United States army during the Apparition of the 12 alien shells, and assisted Professor Louise Banks in deciphering an alien language. It would seem that we’re beginning to understand the powers around us a little bit better, aren’t we?
Clint watches the replays, hand resting lazily on the remote control. He isn’t absolutely sure as to why he feels so tired – it wasn’t so much being undercover and still being on television, it was the entire sense of achievement. When he’d learnt that Jane was up for the Nobel Physics prize, he had immediately asked Helen Cho and Erik Selvig for their opinion – sure, they had helped him with getting fine tuned to his role as Ian Donnelly, but maybe he needed their expertise a bit more when it came to the fucking Nobel prize.
Thankfully, not a lot of people cared about this year’s prizes, other than the one attributed to literature- Bob Dylan, of all people. He laughs, more of a chuckle, as he turns the television off.
It had been a night where he had felt so out of place – everything was scheduled down to the first plate to be brought out to the security everywhere. If anything, he’d hoped – half expected – the secret services responsible for the protection of the Swedish Royal Family to do a security check on all guests present. Or, maybe, as Helen had told him later on, when he’d promised to guide her through the ceremony and get contact cards for some scientists she wanted to talk science with, it was because the secret service had figured out Ian was just a cover for the Avenger Hawkeye, and had decided that he posed no threat.
(After all, opinions in most European countries was that if anything, if an Avenger like Hawkeye wanted to pay tribute to a scientist who had been able to explain part of the Scandinavian mythology in a logical and sound manner, as well as helped them find a way to understand mind control and move mental health therapy forward, it would be okay).
He smiles to himself.
Jane had thought he was there for protection – she’d asked him, a whisper in his ear as he handed her the prize, if this was like Miss Congeniality, where they put someone in with the rest of the scientists? He’d shaken his head and laughed, moving aside to let her shine.
He didn’t tell her that her experiments, studies and research on the Infinity Gems is what keeps him going – somehow, he wishes she could find the solution faster. But, he guesses, she battles her own battles with her stone, just like he does his, and if anything… She can maybe actually crack the code to healing all of those who had been taken by magic far more advanced than they had ever thought.
based on @alexinthestrangeworld‘s tags on this gifset of when Jeremy Renner awarded Natalie Portman with the Best Actress award at the 2016 Critics Choice Awards:
#okay but imagine #jane wins yet another award for her scientific achievements #maybe one for her studies on bifrost #or maybe reality gem #clint is there undercover as some physicist (ian donnelly ‘cause why not?) #and he is the one give her the award #but also give a little speech thanking her for what she shared with the world #of course jane knows clint and as he hands her a statuette she ask what is it all about #they expect a terrorist attack? an assassin maybe?he just smiles and whispers that he really wanted to be the one who thanks her tonight #he mumbles something about infinity gems and how her studies will make dealing with them a lot safer in the future #he thanks her once more than disappears backstage leaving spotlight for her #yea
and for @isjustprogress, because she wanted this as well.

natasha is beating them at strip-chitauri-kill
No, wait, we have to talk about this, because I honestly can’t decide what’s better here. Is it that it’s so toasty outside Clint took off his jacket and Steve felt the need to flash some cleavage? Is it Nat casually gesturing with loaded weaponry while she tells terrible dad jokes? Is it the resigned exasperation on Steve’s face? We just don’t know.
#but seriously imagine them getting bored killing the enemy’s drones or whatever#and they make a game out of it#and it’s summer and so why NOT make it a stripping game eh??#I feel like thor would just strip either way like ‘fucking FINALLY I can take these infernal pants off’#their butts are all over the news the next day#Fox News won’t shut up about how much of terrible influence they are to children#or some shit like that idk
this pic is now my most favourite thing in the whole entire world
Avengers: the funny books
The Avengers cost money to run and while Tony’s insanely wealthy, he didn’t get to be a billionaire in addition to the genius/playboy/philanthropist by being foolish when it came to money-making opportunities.
Thus, the comic books.
It’s a great idea, he knows it is. With the return of Captain America, there was a resurgence of all kinds of vintage Cap memorabilia and, among them, are the comics that featured Steve and the Commandos in daring (and, by today’s standards, incredibly racist, sexist, and everything else-ist) adventures. Tony’s got still a few – Dad had the whole run – and he thinks an update will go over well. The Avengers’ PR staff wholeheartedly agree, possibly not because Tony is paying their salaries.
The New Adventures of Captain America is first off the press, packaged with a reprint of the original Captain America #1, and they have to go to a second printing within a month. Steve himself is perfectly happy to sign copies because at least it’s not the beefcake shots that Vanity Fair dug up and ran in the January issue.
The Black Widow comes out next and it gets mixed reviews because the girl-power message got undermined somewhat by the cheesecake art. Tony doesn’t think Natasha’s the kind of pissed that will get him murdered in his sleep, but he can’t promise the safety of the next guy who catcalls out that her boobs aren’t as big in real life.
Invincible Iron Man is the third and, okay, maybe the title’s a bit much, but c’mon, since when has humbleness been part of his toolkit? It’s a detective story with lasers, which is precisely what he asked for. That, and to make him look as tall as Cap if they were ever in the same panel.
Thor has plenty of suggestions for his book’s story arcs, which is why the writer is credited as “scripted by.”
Bruce won’t give permission for anything to do with the Hulk, despite Tony’s assurance that this is a way to ‘demonster’ the Other Guy. Bruce says the Other Guy is a monster and should stay that way. Tony tries a few more times, but Bruce won’t budge. Which is why Tony’s sidekick in his own book is a genius named Bruce, no last name given.
Clint will let them do a Hawkeye book, but the creative team is left to their own devices because he won’t even return their texts or emails. What results is possibly payback because it’s not even a superhero story. It’s an ironic hipster drama where the putative hero is really a shlemiel who is a complete failure at everything but being a superhero. Hawkeye is a runaway success, however, and wins an Eisner. Clint won’t go to the awards ceremony.
When Tony finally sees Barton’s home – and gets over the shock that it is a farm with cows and chickens and a wife and children – he notices that there is not only a framed and autographed copy of Hawkeye #1 under glass in the family room, but there is a commissioned full-color drawing by the series artist. Clint might not want anything to do with it, but Laura Barton is very sure this is the most hysterical thing in the history of ever and trawls eBay for merchandise. It’s been a shitball of a day, of a week, but the mischievous smile Laura gives him when he promises he can hook her up at the source makes it a tiny bit less awful.
Today at the gym, a random dog came over to the door and we all stopped because…well dog. Turns out it escaped from the archery range next door and guys, this is not helping my belief that Clint Barton secretly goes to my gym.
