set in that stevefrank verse!!!

[webslings]

There's no getting around it: the building where the meetings are held is starting to look pretty depressing from the outside. It makes sense. They've got enough money to keep the place running without a backer like Russo. There's nothing in the budget for a new paint job. It's not the end of the world really unless you've got a drama queen like Rogers around to complain that it isn't right for the place to start looking so rundown. He is going to do something about it.

Steve does the only sensible and mature thing one can do in this situation: bully Curtis into letting him have an outside wall for his birthday. He's Captain America. The least he can receive is a wall!! Really Curtis is doing him the favor here. It really has nothing to do with the fact he already knows no one is going to let him pay for a full job even with back pay from the Army burning a hole in his pocket.

(God knows Tony never lets him pay for anything.)

After a lot of bothering, Steve gets his way. He only gives the date and time a young artist from Brooklyn will show up to decorate it in case anyone wants to see the show with him. It is going to be something special if his work in Brooklyn is anything to go by. The day comes and Steve gets called away Avenger business an hour before the guy is set to start. He only has enough time shoot Frank a quick text to take some pictures as a favor to him before going radio silent.

If Frank does go he will find that Steve was not exaggerating about the artist being young. A teenage boy is already hard at work surrounded by large collection of yellow, brown, blue, and green spray paint cans sitting on top of a large tarp to protect the pavement. He already has some groundwork down already, the stems of something spread over the length of the wall, when he catches Frank out of the corner of his eye. He stops what he is doing, staring at the older man before waving. "Hey!" He sets his spray can down, lowers his protective face mask, and jogs over. He looks sheepish once he actually reaches Frank. Wow did he not think this through. It might just be some random guy passing through and not the audience member that Mr. Rogers told him to expect.

"Uh, I know this sounds weird, but could I maybe borrow your shoulders for a bit? It's important."

Re: set in that stevefrank verse!!!

[oorah]

Frank isn't really sure what this is about, he just knows he wouldn't dream of telling Steve "no." So when the other man asks him to go to the VA office and wait for some kid, he answers before he even thinks about what he's agreeing to. He's aware that his presence can be imposing, let alone to some kid, but Miles is high energy in a way no kid he's interacted with has been. His kids would get hyper, sure, but in an erratic way, or in Frank Jr.'s case: often violent. If Miles recognizes him, it doesn't seem to faze him, and all he can do is blink dumbly a few times at the question, not registering the greeting quickly enough to return it.

"Only if you promise to give 'em back," he quips, but again it's before thinking about what he's even being asked. Frank looks up at the wall and realizes he's about to be a human ladder. There are worse things he's been asked to do, he reasons to himself, stooping down a little so Miles will have an easier time getting on his back.

[webslings]

If Spider-Man was hated by the Davis half of the Morales-Davis home, The Punisher was completely taboo especially after the hospital stunt. Miles knows as close to nothing about Frank Castle as one can get considering his infamous killing spree. To Miles he is a faceless, scary guy who shot a lot of people and got away with it. He's gone now so out of sight, out of mind, right?

Miles is too busy giving a side eye at that dad joke to even consider this guy could be dangerous. He spares Frank anything harsher since the old guy does catch on quick. "Everybody's got jokes." He complains even if his tone tells a different story. Maybe he does find that joke funny in how unfunny it is. "You'll get 'em back." Miles readjusts his face mask, grabs a yellow and brown can, before climbing onto Frank's shoulders effortlessly.

Once secure in his new setup, Miles begins working fast to build on those stems. It'll take a few minutes and a step back to see his vision. He is working on his take on one of Van Gogh's takes on sunflowers. They might be covering him in school at the moment.

[oorah]

He watches the flowers start to take form on the wall and slowly his expression softens as he starts to realize what he agreed to. Even if the guys might pretend shit like this doesn't matter, they're going to love this. And it's got Steve written all over it.

"How do you know Captain America, kid?"

[webslings]

Miles breaks out into a grin. He's never getting over the fact he knows Captain America even now. He works and talks without breaking a sweat. "It's kind of a long story, but we met at my school. Visions Academy?" He pauses to see if Frank recognizes it before moving on. "They hosted an exhibit of his art from back in the day. I'm talking about back when he was a student like us. Pretty cool, right?" Miles gushes. Like any kid he is pretty hyped his hero has something in common with him. Something close to pity seeps into his voice soon after. "It was actually a whole thing since the collector bought them off a guy who stole them from the government who took them from Captain America's apartment while he was overseas. We had protestors show up and everything." He's quick to bounce back and continue gushing. He appreciates how Cap handled it. He's not sure he could half as nice about it if someone took his art.

"Captain America actually snuck in and started to talk to people about what was going on when he made some of the pieces. We thought he was a history teacher for like an hour. It was pretty great."

[oorah]

Frank has never heard of the school, but the rest is familiar enough. He laughs gruffly, reaching up to secure Miles' ankles without thinking. As easily as he got up there, Frank doesn't register the weight, at least not physically. He's starting to get a bit cross with Steve, thinking he knew exactly what he was doing when he asked Frank to do this for him.

"He is a fossil, so I get the mix-up." Jokes, jokes, jokes. It keeps Frank from spiraling out just like always. Frank Jr. would probably be close to this kid's age, and if he could learn to manage his anger, just as good of an artist.

this post is gonna be teenagers vs. frank

[morphogenia]

I literally can't get that show out of my head!!! Dragons secretly being helpless princesses????? That is somehow the most romantic and ridic thing ever!!!!!

[oorah]

shouldn't you be asking your english teacher about this shit instead of me?

[morphogenia]

I tried! He shut me down. :(((( I think he's still mad about that time Nakia and I did a presentation on the Captain America radio show. I tried to be nice about how it wasn't really accurate, but Nakia took no prisoners. I guess he was a fan? She kind of ruined the show for him forever.

[oorah]

you guys are brutal. i guess i just took it as a flowery way of saying women are strong as hell. or like sensitive people in general.
