Magic Box | Tuesday

The air conditioning seemed to be working again, thank god. Just in time for a shipment of deceptively heavy crystal balls to come in. Seriously, they were weirdly heavy. Wanda almost crushed her hand when she tried to pick one up and wasn't ready for the weight.

She would be using magic to stock these, thank you. No hand crushing and she wouldn't be working up a sweat.

Steve popped in just in time to see a ball floating in the air and grinned. "Working smarter not harder?" he asked.

[scarlet_chaos]

"More like these crystal balls are meant for a psychic Hulk," Wanda said. "They have to be at least a hundred pounds, I have no idea how the delivery guy did it."

[heroic_jawline]

"Delivery Hulk?" Steve said, grinning. "We haven't seen him in a while where I'm from. Maybe he's got a new job."

Working for FedEx. Sure!

[scarlet_chaos]

"That seems like a waste of Bruce's skills," Wanda said. "Though, if it was what made him happy..."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve's answering smile turned a little wistful. "It'd be nice if he found that out," he admitted. "Even if it's hauling stupidly heavy things. Speaking of, I can help with that too, if you'd like?"

[scarlet_chaos]

"Oh, I've got it. They're not heavy magic-wise," Wanda said with a grin. "And if they all fall over and break I'd rather it just be my fault than the both of ours."

[heroic_jawline]

"Well, you know how I am about just standing around," Steve said, sticking his hands in his pockets so he didn't help.

It made him kinda twitchy.

[scarlet_chaos]

"Even Captain America deserves a break," Wanda teased. "I'm guessing you're not here for some tarot cards or a smelly candle?"

[heroic_jawline]

"How smelly a candle?" Steve asked. "If I light it in the living room, do I accidentally summon something?"

[scarlet_chaos]

"I think most of them are supposed to be cleansing or something?" she said. "So if you're worried about demons, it might help."

[heroic_jawline]

"I'm not un-worried about demons," Steve said. "But I've never met one."

[scarlet_chaos]

"I don't think they'd have any reason to be in your apartment," she said. "And between us, I think the smell of sage kind of stinks."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve nodded. "Kind of like a sad, burned Thanksgiving."

And since he and Tony were terrible, easily distracted cooks, this was something that had definitely happened.

[scarlet_chaos]

"I don't necessarily buy into that sort of stuff anyway," Wanda said. "Like, demons are supposed to be powerful, right? Be kind of sad if they were frightened by a candle."

[heroic_jawline]

"Oh, no, the sage," Steve said, snickering. "I was going to haunt them but now, no."

[scarlet_chaos]

"I don't know if you can pull off the haunting thing," Wanda joked. "I say this with love, but you'd be even more of a friendly ghost than Casper."

[heroic_jawline]

"I'd probably be the ghost telling people to pick their towels off the floor," Steve said dryly.

[scarlet_chaos]

"Is that your way of saying Tony leaves his towels on the floor?" Wanda asked.

[heroic_jawline]

"I would never say that," Steve said, laughing.

[scarlet_chaos]

"But I'm not hearing a denial about Tony leaving towels on the floor," she teased.
