---

Jessica Jones has posed:
One of the things that Jessica just absolutely LOVES about the MTA, is when she's about as far as can be from where she needs to go, and there's an unscheduled train delay to Manhattan for forever and a half. Right now she's sitting on a bench, looking very VERY remarkably unhappy. She holds something in a brown bag from which she constantly sips, while looking at her phone every now and then just to see how much time didn't pass. At the moment, she hates life.

Winter Soldier has posed:
Bucky would be going incognito today....because you never freaking know who's Hydra.

As such, he's simply wearing a simple black jacket as well as a dark blue baseball cap, coal black pants, black gloves, and standard combat boots. He sees Jessica being....well Jessica, though he doesn't approach. He keeps to himself really, though he does lean against one of the walls near Jessica when he discovers that the train's been delayed. That sucks.

and so begins the day of Bucky...who's attempting to go to the museum to learn more about his past...becasue his head is a giant whopping pile of mess.

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua is waiting for the train as well. She is waiting for a train to get to her stop, heading to the IMAX theater. She's been using her powers a little too much of late and is trying to curb back a bit - running into Magneto (even while he was behaving himself) got her attention. The Asian redhead sits and is watching videos on gymnastics meets on her cellphone, waiting impatiently. Inaction is not something she's good at - she does have a brown paper bag herself - though hers is full of snacks. She is chewing on jerky as she watches, glancing over at the next bench to the woman who appears to be drinking herself stupid.

Thor has posed:
    "How can this be? This is an outrage!" Thor bellows to the machine that informed the Asgardian god that his train has been delayed. There's a loud WHOOMPHF followed by the sound of a broken plate or dishes on the ground... Only ... there's no dishes here? No, there is a large fist sized hole in the tile work next to the machine with Thor pulling his fist from the wall covered in white dust from the bashed in wall.

    He turns around slowly and lifts his clean hand up to the back of his head and tries to play off the display of anger and strength with a dopey smile.

Caim Kataras has posed:
    Caim just walks about, leaning on his cane as he sniffs the air. He makes his way along the various people and yet one of them draws his attention. He Tilts his head at bucky and begins to approach him. He begins to speak russian to the man. To those who dont know russian they are just basic russian phrases. For those like bucky and Caim, they would be recognized as trigger phrases. He then looks to Thor as he draws attention to himself.

Jessica Jones has posed:
The moment Bucky moves within the vicinity of Jessica, she turns to look back at him, she has this uncanny awareness to her personal space. Not that she's overly suspicious of people (well she is), she just prefers to be safe rather than sorry. As Bucky doesn't seem to be doing anything untoward, she just mutters at him, "promise me you'll fix the goddamn MTA and I'll vote you for Mayor, whoever you are."

It's Thor who truly steals Jessica's attention, "dude! I totally relate to your anger, the MTA sure can suck, but you breaking the freakin' station won't help anyone." She doesn't seem surprised by his feat of strength, it's freakin' New York City, you have metas and supers with you on the subway every other day.

Alas, but Jessica doesn't know Russian, she's rather super at triggers, but it wouldn't really help anyone at this point. She just keeps a good look at everyone around, must be the PI in her, and then she has herself another sip of her hidden drink.

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua yelps as she hears something smashing as she stands up, only to see some guy rather irate at the subway service. "Yeah - I know," she mutters as she sits back down, sighing softly. Maybe she should just light up and fly away but she's trying to do this normally. She checks another video... but does take a quick stealth photo of Thor. Hey, he's hot. What can she say? Some Russian-sounding gibberish is barely noticed by the redhead.

Winter Soldier has posed:
Bucky was just minding his own business like your average bloke until Caim came around speaking Russian at him. While those trigger words weren't one of the ultra specific ones that are still coded in his mind, Bucky just shakes his head at him, waiting until he was finished before speaking in fluent and crystal clear Russian himself. "You done soldier? Keep away, unless you look for a grave." Though Thor's actions get a little look from Bucky to the God but Bucky doesn't make a commotion. Instead, his eyes flow back to Caim.

Though Jessica does get his attention when she offers that if he fixes it, she'll vote him for mayor, he speaks calmly, keeping his face hidden fairly well. "You don't want me for mayor...and I'm not good with machines." a DEFINATE lie there, but he's trying to lay low.

Thor has posed:
    "It will help me. Feel better at this abhorent display of poor timing from this cities infastructure!" Thor reports his thoughts with that booming voice, his blue eyes turning towards Jessica and laughing softly before looking between Caim and Bucky, but having no words for the two men, nor any further for Jessica. He instead turns, his long red cape wooshing as he does so and claims a seat on a bench, his weight is enough to cause the structure to groan beneath his muscles, his gaze turns upon Kitora, but he doesn't say anything to the younger woman and instead looks out towards the tracks.

Caim Kataras has posed:
    Caim laughs "Didnt anyone tell you, I am unkillable." Caim says back to the man in russian and he looks around to the various people. When Thor throws his fit he just laughs and shakes his head. "A god, a Super Soldier and two women walk into a subway car." Caim says in english as he looks to the two women. Jessica is regarded with a longer gaze but Kitora is basically ignored. He then turned his attention to bucky. "So What do you do now? Hydra wouldnt let you go willingly. SHIELD is no different, just different emblems."

Jessica Jones has posed:
"Why not? Anyone would be better than the idiot we got now, I mean, give funds to the MTA to run this shit, it isn't rocket science, fuck." Jessica snorts, kicking an empty can someone discarded farther from herself. "Like you need to be good with machines to be mayor, or fix this shit, hell, I bet I could do it given the proper authority."

Then Thor proves to be better than Jessica at bitching about stuff, extra points for doing it extra loudly with a side of theatrics. "I'm with you Jimbo, but shouting at us won't change anything, now will it?" She takes a moment after taking a closer look at the cape, "so...are you a hero or some lost royalty from another dimension?" She asks snarkily.

But then there's Caim to provide unasked for exposition, leading Jessica to actually turn her head completely towards him, raising a brow, "did you just say we got a Super Soldier and a God in our company? Hot damn today is crazy. Unless of course you're the crazy making up stuff, in which case, it's pretty average."

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua blinks. God? Super soldier? Oh my. This might be interesting after all. She takes those at their words, but is keeping a low profile. Nobody seems to realize that there's a god, a supersoldier, AND a mutant present. She adjusts her sunglasses, keeping them on, hiding her red eyes. She wonders who's the god and who's the supersoldier as she takes that photo of the handsome man (Thor) and does a reverse-google search to see if she can find out who it is.

Winter Soldier has posed:
Bucky frowns at Caim, speaking still in Russian "Everyone is killable. Some just take longer than others." he says stone faced and coldly. Though he does look to Jessica, a small smile then "Heh. Fair enough ma'am." and he says nothing else then...though he is curious about Thor.

His attention though? strictly on Caim, speaking in Russian again. "I know my situation, I don't need you to explain it."

Thor has posed:
    "Super Soldier you say?" Thor says, turning his head towards Caim. "If I'm the god, and you're not a female, one of you two must be the super soldier. But you are Midgardians, you would still not best me in a simple arm wrestling contest!" Thor saws with a pleased smile on his face. He does give Kitora a pleasant smile, but his attention goes right back to Caim and Bucky. Sorry Jess, you don't seem to be promising a fight in the next 10 seconds.

Caim Kataras has posed:
    "I served in World war 1 and 2. Was a weapon for the Axis forces. Naturally this makes me popular to the authorities." Caim says as he watches them and smiles a little more as he leans on his cane. When Bucky speaks to him he simply chuckles. "I have walked this earth for four thousand years and have suffered through what anyone can do to a human body. In the end I am still here." He says back in russian before turning to Thor. "I may not be as strong as you, but I bet I can best you without that hammer, Thunder god."

Jessica Jones has posed:
Them's the breaks, oh norse God of Thunder, Jessica is cheap and notoriously doesn't promise people shit. She does at the very least get up, taking another sip of her bottle, looking between all gathered, particularly between the Winter Soldier and Caim, as she asides at Thor, "are you sure that one isn't female?" Indicating Caim, if only because he seems to be the troublemaker around. "Heck, I could be the super soldier for all you know. I could definitely take you in arm wrestling." Yeah, she's in her top snarky form tonight. Must be the MTA's doing. "Okay...so not female, but I'd check who escaped a mental patients ward in the last few days..."

Rift has posed:
Thor. Oh... Em... Gee. It's Thor, the God of Thunder. It _has_ to be. She stands up. "I'm no soldier," she muses softly. "I'm special in my own way though," she states, talking to nobody in particular. She gets a piece of paper out of a pocket and a pen. "Mr. Thor? Can I have your autograph?" she asks, grinning widely, gazing up at Thor, a smile on her face. The Caim/Bucky byplay is being sidetracks, though someone who actually admitted to helping the BAD GUYS in the past is probably someone she doesn't want to associaet with. She doesn't speak Russian. Just English and Japanese. She finishes off a jerky stick, having left her bag of snacks on the bench.

Winter Soldier has posed:
Bucky just looks at Caim, apparently not looking impressed. "You haven't faced me yet. Though with all do respect, you're not worth the blood." and Lord knows Bucky's seen much....most of it not of his own free will. He does look at Kitora though when she asks Thor for his autograph and all that, giving a little smirk to that exchange.

Though Jessica does get a grin.

Thor has posed:
    Thor turns to Kitora and takes the pen and at the paper he pokes the pen through the paper and then hands it back. "There." Smiling dumbly before he turns back to Jessica and smiles even bigger. "You're on Raven Haired Woman." Thor says, standing up from the bench and yet he levels his blue eyes onto Caim. "You think my hammer is my power. You boast a lot for a man with a limp." Thor says abruptly puffing out his broad chest towards the old mutant.

    "I will gladly fight you all here and now. This place could use a little excitement." More boasting from the blonde, but he's not known to back down from anything or anyone.

Jessica Jones has posed:
"Man, you're actually the God of Thunder?" Jessica asks Thor once his identity is apparently being confirmed all around, "because I have a list of people that deserve lightning bolts up their asses." It also makes her a bit less confident about her ability to win an arm wrestling contest, though she doesn't back off, having arm wrestled a god would be a great drinking story.

Jessica peers a moment at Caim, then back at Thor, "so...you want to arm wrestle now? I mean the train won't come till forever from now...or do you want to go wipe the floor with that guy first?"

Caim Kataras has posed:
    "Get my blood inside your body and I can turn you even human, Asgardian." Caim says as he smirks to the god and looks to the others. He then smiles to Kitora. "Special in your own right? You know mutants arent popular here." He asks in fluent japanese before turning back to Bucky before returning his attention back to Thor. "So how about it. A simple contest, no magical gear, and the first to give up loses." He says as he sets his cane aside and pops his neck.

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua goes pale at Caim's words as she steps back, shocked. First, the mighty Thor is a moron who can't even use a pen - then this person just told her that in Japanese. She just stares, dumbfounded, not sure what's going on. "Axis powers, huh? Nazi sympathizers are hated even more," she hisses back in Japanese as well as she returns to her seat in a huff, fishing out a Butterfinger bar and gnawing on it, glaring at Caim and Thor.

Winter Soldier has posed:
Bucky just kind of pretends he doesn't know Japanese, playing dumb extraordinarily well. Though he does give a little grin to Jessica when she offers an arm wrestling contest right now. Though if it's a fight between Caim and Thor? his money is on the God of Thunder who's faced down far greater threats than Caim.

Thor has posed:
    Thor is no moron. He just has no need for pen and paper. His is a prince, a warrior prince who wields a hammer and shield more than a scribe uses a quill and parchment.

    "I think a simple contest would ruin this structure, as the Raven haired woman has already explained, she would not appreciate that, plus she challenged me first, so she shall be the first to face the mighty Thor in combat.

    Thor begins to look around for a suitable place to place his elbow to take on any commer.

Jessica Jones has posed:
Jessica stares with awe at Caim, utterly shocked by what she's hearing, "are you sure you survived all those years like you claimed? I mean...giving away your own element of surprise seems pretty stupid to me, then again, I'm not the Highlander, so maybe I'm just new to this immortal warrior thing." Yeah, it's an elaborate way to call Caim a dumbass without calling him such, Jess can have some tact when the stars align. Jess by no means speaks Japanese, so that saves Kitora from some choice words, instead Jess just remarks, "saying you were buddy buds with the Nazis, kinda the wrong approach to being popular."

When Thor offers to perform the arm wrestling challenge ahead of Caim's "do you bleed?" challenge, she laughs, and follows the God of Thunder on the quest for a proper field of....arm wrestling?

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua just stares at Caim. Maybe it's time for her to go... but though Thor's a moron, he's still cute so she stays. She then avoids eye contact with the self-professed bad guy as she just sits there, waiting for the train, but is aware of the situation. Ready to act if she must.

Winter Soldier has posed:
Bucky jsut closes his eyes and leans against that little column, adjusting his hat as he waits for the train. Though Jessica and Thor's arm wrestling match remains an intriguing thought, Bucky just wants to avoid attention....

Caim Kataras has posed:
    "The more enemies I have the better." Caim says as he watches Jessica and he turns to Kitora. "It was a job which let me fight against everyone I want. Once I used to believe in helping others and being a hero but I discovered the best way to improve humanity is to give it something to fight against." He says in english before moving to reclaim his cane and he goes to watch the arm wrestling. "

Thor has posed:
    "Raven haired wench who smells of whiskey, what beeth thou name?" The blond god asks as he steps up to a trash can and upturns the thing, given them a flat, plastic surface to which they can lock hands and level their elbows for a rough game of stuggle.

    "You claim to have been a force of evil in order for people to create a force for good... That... sounds very virtuous but is rather foolish and horrible. The innocent lives taken by those you were fighting along side. That is not the thoughts and attitude of a good man. Asgardian or otherwise." Thor waxes philosophical for a brief moment before he turns his blue gaze back to Jessica and with a hint of grimace as he is savoring the conflict.

Jessica Jones has posed:
Overhearing Caim while she follows Thor, Jessica asks the God of Thunder, "have you ever heard an idiot like that guy before? Or is he the first one? Just wondering, because obviously I haven't in my lifetime, but then it's a small span...as a God, you probably had more of a chance to meet the Great Idiots of History, no?" But her levity dies down a bit when she gets dubbed "Raven Haired Wench Who Smells of Whiskey," rolling her eyes at Thor, she snorts, "aren't you the charmer...name's Jessica. From what little I know of Norse mythology, you'd be Thor, huh?"

When Thor prepares the field of their sporting event, Jessica downs the rest of her bottle and tosses it aside. What do you expect? Thor just upended the trash can, she couldn't use that. Either way, he apparently made a good call on the whiskey.

Winter Soldier has posed:
Bucky simply smiles as Thor and Jessica sit down for arm wrestling, though Bucky does stand up straigt now, taking this oppurtunity to slip out..anyone looking for Bucky possibly wondering where on earth that snow ninja went. Regardless, Bucky leaves, because that train was taking far too long.

Thor has posed:
    Thor wiggles his fingers as he lowers his body down to the upside down can and with the elbow on the plastic he waits. "Jessica the Raven it is." Thor says with a polite toothy smile as he takes her hand in his. The god thinks the woman is just that, a plain old Midgardian woman who is like tooth pick to the Asgardian, he will play nice and let her have a challenge for when she pushes he'll struggle a little bit and ultimately win this contest, but she'll have a nice story and he'll have another victory.

Jessica Jones has posed:
Jessica laughs when Thor actually takes note of her distaste for the name he gave her (accurate though it may be) and gives her a more lyrical one in 'Jessica the Raven', needless to say, it sounds far more flattering so she'll take it. "I could certainly start a wrestling career with that name," Jessica grins, setting her elbow down in place and hooking hands with Thor. She doesn't realize how generous the God of Thunder is, intending to give her a sporting chance, so once he notes that he's ready, she'll go with all of her strength. Because unlike Thor who means to be nice to a normal human woman, she's someone who knows she's taking on a God, so she doesn't want to humiliate herself. Using all of her strength, she simply brings Thor's hand down in seconds before he has time to realize she is super powered, and adjust. Once she does that, she stares, blinks, stares again, peers towards her discarded empty bottle of whisky and asks, "did that just really happen, or am I seeing things?"

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua just blinks. Oh my. That was a fast victory. Thor wasn't ready it seems. Kitora just blinks. "So we found the supersoldier," she muses softly, clicking her tongue as she approaches closer. "I'm impressed. Maybe I can have your autograph for Thor can't seem to figure out how to use a pen and paper," she notes, holding up that sheet of paper that just has a puncture hole in it.

Thor has posed:
    Thor is left speechless. He's standing there with his arm bent roughly the wrong way and his jaw is on the floor. He turns his head towards Kitora and then back to Jess. "Jessica the Raven, you have much explaining to do." He's not even upset, he's just surprised and shocked. So much so he starts to walk away before Jess or Kitora can even remind him he's waiting for the train. His whole world is upside down right now. He needs a nap or something to recover.

Jessica Jones has posed:
When Kitora approaches Jessica to ask for an autograph, Jessica laughs, "sure, but I'm sorry to disappoint, I doubt it'll amount to anything...I'm actually not the super soldier." She does, however, signs as promised: 'Jessica Jones', it's not the best handwritting, but it's legible.

After hand the autographed paper back to Kitora, she turns to look preplexed at Thor, "I've got explaining to do? Why?" Standing up as he simply leaves, Jessica asks, "you are the God of Thunder, right? The Thor?"

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua shrugs. "That's what my phone says. Some guys are so macho that their delicate egos can't handle beaten by a woman," she muses softly. "And... I'm so glad that other guy is gone - he gave me the creeps. His Japanese is very good though - too bad all he said was things I'd rather not." She shrugs. "Hey - I think I hear something?" she asks, as she peeks down the tunnel, hoping she's actually hearing a train and not the God of Thunder having a tantrum.

Thor has posed:
    "The one and only." Thor retorts as he abandons his train ride to go find a bar with some really, really strong booze. It's possibly an open invitation to others to follow, but the man is lost in his own thoughts.

Jessica Jones has posed:
Jessica waves at Thor as he keeps on his way, and mutters at Kitora, "god or not, that's men for you," and she nods wholeheartedly about the remarks Kitora has about Caim, "that guy is the dumbest immortal I've ever met if he really lived as long as he claims. Just outright stupid." And wouldn't you know it? Here comes a train, almost as a special prize to Jessica for beating a god at arm wrestling. This day is turning out better than she expected!
