sooooo

[ it's so exciting to have superhero-y people on his phone now who answer his texts ]

[ is there anything more irritating than stark exercising his power as a shield consultant (and all around rich big shot) to help out his chosen pupils? yeah, actually: when the student in question is, in fact, clever enough to be there — meaning tony stark was right.

and when the lad's keen in a way that reminds him of his younger self, well, that's another problem. fitz sighs. ]


You're already asking.
Go on then.

how does someone become a SHIELD agent??
do you get recruited???
is there like a school??
do you get a letter like for hogwarts????

[personal profile] retravel 2018-12-08 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
1. & 2.Depends on your discipline. Field agents tend to be recruited, while Scitech operatives apply after pursuing higher education.
3. SHIELD Academy, though it's currently being overhauled, given that half the staff were HYDRA.


[ he's js that he always hated professor mercer and his stupid field execises in the American summer. should've known he was a turncoat the whole time. ]

4. You get a generic acceptance letter with the logo on it, as with any other school.
No magical familiars involved.


[ a beat. ugh. maybe he'll be a teensy bit indulgent 'cause it was pretty cool. ]

An agent delivers it in person, though.
With the suit and badge.

whoaaaa that's so awesome!!!
i mean
not the part about HYDRA
that's terrible
like
the worst
but the stuff about the agent and the academy sound cool
does that mean you applied?? i guess that makes sense
they probably took you right away since you're like super smart
retravel: (i would do him like a crossword)

[ oh no, wow, too flattered by this random nerd child.

a pause. ]


Yeah?
I mean, yeah, pretty much.
My partner and I were the youngest acceptances, so.


[ KIND OF A BIG DEAL IT'S WHATEVER ]

She was top of the class, but she loves homework more than life itself, y'know. Total Hermione.
But you must be up and coming, if Stark's got his eye on you. Surprised he even let you leave his building without signing something.


[ a... compliment? ]
jansport: (🕸 plaYING IT COOL)

[personal profile] jansport 2018-12-08 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
wooooooow
that's awesome
you mean dr. simmons-fitz right


[ the...the other one ]

hahaha yeah i can imagine that
that's cool


[ except now fitz is complimenting him, which flusters him, but also talking about how he knows mr. stark, which DOUBLY flusters him, because. you know. spider-man. aka, as far as peter's concerned, the only reason tony stark ever noticed his existence in the first place. ]

uhhh not really lol
i just won that grant contest thing
not a huge deal
retravel: (let the decider decide)

[personal profile] retravel 2018-12-08 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Dr. Simmons-Fitz.

[ the other one. ]

Pretty competitive, isn't it? Doubt the applications for a Stark placement dip below 100. And there was the recommendation letter from Miss Potts.

[ don't often get one she signs off on herself, now do they. ]
jansport: (🕸 origin story)

[personal profile] jansport 2018-12-08 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
it's just
yeah
she's really nice


[ ENOUGH! TALKING! ABOUT HIM! and how he mysteriously got this internship! ]

how old were you and dr. simmons-fitz when you were accepted?
since you were the youngest and all
did you already know each other back then?
retravel: (houston we have an idiot)

[personal profile] retravel 2018-12-08 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ easiest way to change the topic: bring up jemma ]

16, the both of us. She's younger by a month.

[ SENIORITY, BETCH. less than that, she'd say, if she were privy to this conversation. ]

We met there. Got into it over dielectric polarisation.

[ romance... ]
jansport: (🕸 p l s)

[personal profile] jansport 2018-12-08 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
so like around my age
wow


[ that's...incredible, actually. he tries to imagine the two of them as young as he is now, already so accomplished and smart that SHIELD noticed them. just them, no powers involved. ]
retravel: (bc i'm a messy b who loves drama)

[personal profile] retravel 2018-12-08 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he softens entirely, then, thinking back to his first days with SHIELD — and with jemma, too. sixteen and achingly shy. ]

You're more outgoing than I was.

[ a beat. ]

Most of the interns know better than to take my "text this number if you need anything" as a genuine invitation.
And if they pluck up the courage, they save it for brownnosing


[ he's terrible. ]
jansport: (🕸 DATE ME....PLEASE.....)

[personal profile] jansport 2018-12-08 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ unheard: he laughs, brief but genuine. ]

well uh
i could try some brownnosing
yk if you want
retravel: (houston we have an idiot)

[personal profile] retravel 2018-12-23 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Don't.
How are you finding the work, anyway?


[ compared to the stark internship hmmmm ]
