But its hot." Joaquin said. "Funny. It's funny."
Everyone stared at him.
"Oh, my god." Bob said quietly. "I thought it was just me. I've been trying to him to do it again ever since, but there's only so many times I can call him a Captain America impersonater before he gets legitimately upset about his best friend."

Summary
Who was the mysterious man with the New Avengers?
The announcement of the New Avengers surprised us all, but the real buzz is about the mysterious man on stage-who could he be?
Dressed in casual clothes and seemingly unharmed from the attack on the city, the mystery man seemed to be in high spirits, clapping along and cheering as the New Avengers were presented to the world.
Who is this man, and why was he there? Was he a random civilian, a clingy fan, or maybe dating one of our Avengers?
OR
the media coverage of the new avengers and subsequent team reactions in the days and months after the big press reveal

according to the stats by novakskline
—
"I'm not dating anyone!" Bob exclaimed, face as red as it could be.
"Oh, really? I thought maybe I'd forgotten our illustrious relationship, alongside me forgetting that I'm the first gay Captain America, and that any past crimes were because I was secretly dating Lemar while married to Olivia," John snarked, arms crossed and looking annoyed.
"At least they created reasons for you to be dating Bob! My reason is simply that I'm a woman, so why wouldn't I be dating the man I'm friends with?" Yelena huffed, placing Cucumber the guinea pig down on the table to roam freely.
"Don't forget the theory that the three of you are secretly a throuple," Ava teased, laughing gleefully as both Yelena and John shuddered in sync.
—
"We recently ran a poll through various test groups. The stats for popularity include a lot of overlap; the majority of people chose at least two options each." Mel started.
"Bob is at number one with 80%, Olivia Walker at 65%, Ava at 45%, Bucky at 16%, Joaquin Torres at 8%, and Yelena at 4%. Then there were various write-ins at different percentages with a variety of other heroes, including your former partner, Battlestar. He was a popular choice," Mel listed, showing the full stats, including write-ins, on the screen.
"Is there anyone people don't ship John with?" Bob asked, biting back a laugh, unlike Ava and Yelena, who were laughing freely.
"Currently? The trend online seems to be 'passing John Walker around like a blunt', apparently, every fandom has one of these, although it's usually a fictional character," Mel said.

Avengers - Secret Empire by Sanguira
ch1“No Bucky, you are safe, if she goes down she doesn’t have enough dirt on you to drag you down with her. The rest of us.” He waves at himself, Ava who frowns, Yelena who avoids his gaze and even Alexi who seems complative. “Are doomed.”
”Not inherently.” Yelena argues. “We have been doing good and it’s not like she still has records of our work for her. She destroyed them herself.”
”Yeah do you think the legal system cares?” John, impassioned, continues. “Up until Latvia, I had no faults in my record and that didn’t save me. You think the rest of us after everything would be spared. All it would take is Valentina spilling any little bit of information about us to save her skin and at best we’re in the Raft for the rest of our lives.”

Soooooo glad to be back and right before pride month too!
Long-awaited conclusion to this story. Remember those letters John wrote? Yeah this is basically everyone's reaction to those.
Also I gave Lemar's parents and his sister names. Why? Because they're important enough to warrant having names to me!
I really hope you all enjoy it! Shout-out to agent_4, I never would've been inspired enough to write this if they hadn't given me the idea.
