"Of the menaces to society I've interacted with, you're in the top few. Marlo's fine." 

Permalink

"You're my favorite menace to society."

(Marlo might notice that there's a tone Asher usually says things like that in, and he's not using it now. His facial expression looks like the one he makes when he's fighting a villain and he's actually afraid that people are going to die, or just before he jumped into the portal with a nuke.)

Permalink

...he does notice that. 

Whatever it is that Spiderman did to get that kind of tone from Asher, he's fairly sure he approves of it. 

Permalink

"I'm glad to hear it," just as sincere. He finds a place next to Asher and sits there, pulls his legs up onto the chair to sit cross-legged. 

Permalink

Asher tosses an arm around Spidey's shoulder. "Who do you think is going to use the door and who's going to use the window?"

Permalink

"Banner will use the door, Clint will use the window, and Natasha will just appear in the room when she definitely wasn't there before and it won't be clear how exactly she got in." 

Permalink

"You thought Spidey would use the window! I say window for Natasha, door for Clint and Banner and Deadpool."

Permalink

They turn out to have both been right about Bruce Banner, who looks slightly confused by Spiderman's mask when he sees it but doesn't say anything, just waves and introduces himself. 

Permalink

Natasha appears halfway through Bruce's introduction. 

"I bet if I played the security cameras back," Asher says, "she would have come in through the window."

Permalink

"I'm sure you do," and he's only the slightest bit smug.

He doesn't say anything when Clint Barton comes in through the door, of course, because that would be rude and he doesn't actually like starting pointless fights with Asher. 

Permalink

Well, Asher predicted that Deadpool was going to come in spite of not being invited or told that it was going to happen, SO THERE. 

Permalink

Natasha has her head on Clint's shoulder and her eyes closed.

She looks a lot more tired in person than she does on television. 

Permalink

 

Presently, someone emerges from the elevator, looking very confused.

“Is there...a thing happening up here?”

Permalink

"...did Asher not tell you what was happening?" 

Permalink

"Wait, why are you even here?" says Bruce, not particularly judgmental about it. 

Permalink

"It's the Avengers movie night and, no, I did not invite him."

Asher looks so smug. 

Permalink

“I walked into the lobby and some guys sent me up here. Is that popcorn? I want popcorn.”

Permalink

"This is popcorn. Also you should sit here." 

You can't see the way he's smiling, because mask, but it is very obvious in his voice. 

Permalink

The popcorn comes in many flavors, including normal ones ("cheese") and ridiculous ones ("candy cane"). 

"I told the security people to send anyone with a mask up here."

Permalink

"That sounds dangerous," he says mildly. 

Permalink

“Spidey!”

Deadpool acquires himself a nacho popcorn bucket and a Spiderman-adjacent seat.

Permalink

"If someone wants to attack all of the literal actual Avengers then... good luck to them? I guess?"

Permalink

Now he's sitting between Asher and Deadpool and can cuddle them both. This is objectively the best possible state of affairs. 

"If that's the reasoning then why have security at all, though." He does not actually object to the state of the security. 

Permalink

Marlo nods in Spiderman's general direction. 

Permalink

Asher is mildly irritated that he doesn't get any Deadpool cuddles.

"It's not the policy all the time! Only during movie nights! --Anyway, the purpose of security is to direct people to the right office and handle drunk people so I don't have to."
