The Halloween decorating was in full swing, which meant Wanda was truly in her element. She was trying to go with a classier approach this year. Less fake spiders, more tasteful gourds.

With maybe a fake spider thrown in there because she couldn't help herself.

"Hi, Wanda!" Steve said, poking his head into the shop. "It looks really swell in here. Do you want to decorate the ballroom gym later?"

[scarlet_chaos]

Wanda huffed. "I have a lot of Halloween decorations but even I don't have enough to cover that freaking ballroom."

[heroic_jawline]

"It's gigantic," Steve agreed, chuckling and shaking his head. "And it's also got a ton of apples in it. Tony and I went apple picking and things got out of hand."

[scarlet_chaos]

"How does apple picking get out of hand?" Wanda asked. "Did you make it a contest or something?"

[heroic_jawline]

"Yes," Steve said, blushing.

[scarlet_chaos]

"That explains a lot," Wanda said, playfully rolling her eyes. "Do either of you even know how to bake? Or is there just going to be a lot of raw apple eating?"

[heroic_jawline]

"We set a smallish kitchen fire the last time we tried to make an apple pie," Steve said. "I think we went into the apple picking thinking we'd get better at baking when we got home?"

Or DUM-E would get faster on the foam deployment.

"I've already given a bunch to Raiden for pizzas, but there's plenty left."

[scarlet_chaos]

"I don't think I've ever had apple on a pizza," Wanda said. "But I support pineapple, so I don't see why apple-apples would be any different."

[heroic_jawline]

"And Raiden's really good at making food," Steve said, nodding. "I'd trust him and at least try one. Tony says I can't tell anyone in Brooklyn I ever ate apple on a pizza, though."

[scarlet_chaos]

"You might some lose some street cred, I get it," she joked. "That's an area where they're all picky about their pizza crust, right?"

[heroic_jawline]

"They're picky about everything," Steve said with a laugh. "Fruit would definitely not be okay."

[scarlet_chaos]

"The loyalty is nice though!" Wanda said with a laugh. "It's nice to be passionate about something. Even if it's pizza."

[heroic_jawline]

"Oh, arguing is a borough-wide pasttime," Steve said. "You can get people yelling on corners just by asking about a favorite baseball player. Or why the Dodgers moved to LA, those bums."

That might be the meanest thing Steve Rogers had ever said.

[scarlet_chaos]

"I can't picture you yelling at someone about baseball," she said. "But I've never been to a game with you; you might become a whole other person for all I know."

[heroic_jawline]

"Only at Yankees games," Steve promised. "They're the worst."

[scarlet_chaos]

"You like...that other New York team." Look, it was impressive she knew there were two.

[heroic_jawline]

"I tolerate the Mets," Steve agreed, nodding. "I miss the Dodgers. They were in Brooklyn."

And Steve was a hometown boy at heart.

[scarlet_chaos]

Steve. It's almost been 70 years since the Dodgers moved to L.A.

"I should pick a random team to like," Wanda said. "I'd need to look at their mascots in order to decide though."

[heroic_jawline]

THEY DIDN'T ASK HIM, WANDA.

Please don't let Tony buy them and move them back, either.

"Definitely do it based out on outfits," Steve said with a grin. "Some of them are dire."
