For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

To quote a commenter from another thread - 'If your Lois Lane isn't just a wee bit unhinged, you're doing her wrong.'
Note that this was an official DC release, not a fan video.
Ah, missed this question.
Remember that while her divinations beyond that are very imprecise, the Ancient One can scry the timeline in detail up until her death in 2016 - and Age of Ultron is in 2015.
And in this timeline, if Cap hadn't returned then Ultron would have succeeded in destroying...
To pat myself on the back, what I'm particularly proud of is how respectful I was to Tony in this story... because that was not easy for me. Being respectful to Steve is hardly a challenge, he's my favorite MCU character. Tony Stark is perhaps my least favorite MCU character, at least of the...

Insight Day: D Plus 110
Courtney took a deep breath and tried to calm her racing pulse. She'd faced down sadistic supervillains, Agent Rumlow and an entire building full of HYDRA killers, Shroud's giant spider mech, and her own imminent death by suffocation, but right at the moment...

Insight Day: D Minus Zero
"Fire now." Captain America's voice came hoarsely through the headset.
"Steve! No!" Courtney cried into her microphone. Next to her, Sam Wilson placed a steadying hand on her shoulder.
"Do it!" Cap ordered. "Do it now!"
"Firing." Maria Hill acknowledged...
Excellent spot. They are entirely unaware of it. :p
Not that I plan to go into detail much on the events of TWS - I regard that movie as so close to perfect that I am not even going to try to improve on it - but I will at least explain what happened differently in this timeline.
MCU Rumlow is an absolutely top tier supervillain goon that any evil organization would be proud to have as one of their top soldiers. Dude is charismatic, lethal, effective, cunning, and has guts enough to not even begin to flinch from Captain America even after the other ten guys he brought...

Insight Day: D Minus 39
"Sir? You asked me to give you a five-minute warning." Maria Hill's voice interrupted Nick Fury's concentration.
"That's right, I did." Fury wrenched his concentration away from the analyses he'd been concentrating on and looked up from his desk. "Stark still...
We just dropped chapter 25, and chapters 26, 27, and a post-credits stinger are yet to come. So at a 2/day update it should be finished tomorrow afternoon.
When I did this on SB it originally had only 25 chapters and the MCU return skipped over a lot of the reactions to Steve and Courtney's...

Insight Day: D Minus 41
"Intruder alert-!" the smooth mechanical voice announced, before immediately interrupting itself and continuing in a slightly stunned tone of voice. "Captain Rogers. I think I speak for all of us when I say that it is most unexpected but also most gratifying to...
It's skeevy as fuck but technically not illegal, which is exactly the airspace that a corporation's 'not getting us sued' lawyer lives in full-time. :P
Note that if the corporation is offering $30 million as an out-of-court settlement, that means they're expecting the punitive damages that a jury would award to be MUCH higher than $30 million. Maybe even a full order of magnitude higher.
If Steve and Courtney had not had to return to the MCU...
Because he wouldn't work for less, and they considered his price worth paying to get the best lawyer available.
The people he's talking to are already going to be mind blowingly ruined both professionally, financially, and criminally, why shouldn't he laugh at their desperation?
Also note that...

"My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work!" Courtney quoted Sherlock Holmes amusedly.
"I'm fine." Steve protested. "Really."
"I've seen you fidget less while gearing up for full-scale assault missions against giant robots." Courtney...
On the SB thread, poster 'The Kijs' contributed another meme in honor of chapter 23:
"Courtney, nearly passing out, briefly has an out of body encounter with Clint Barton."

"You're certain?" Special Agent in Charge Davis asked the two people standing in front of her desk that Monday morning. Steve and Courtney had spent the entire remaining weekend writing up their statements and helping officially close out their participation in...
