Okay, I just had a story idea which I do not think I am going to write, so I am offering it up to the Internet at large. I really, really want a story where the Avengers have to fight crime at a con, and everyone mistakes them for cosplayers. Does that exist already? God, I hope so.

And Tony is wearing the brand new Mark 9 and everyone is like, "Awesome costume, but you know that you've got the flanges wrong, right?"

[holli]

YES EXACTLY.

[brownbetty]

And everyone keeps on wanting a picture with Cap, and so there's like a million pictures of him on flickr giving his selling-toothpaste smile.

And Natasha gets tired of being approached for photos after approximately eight seconds, and mugs someone dressed as Belle (Disney) for her costume which includes a wig. Clint disappears into the lighting struts.

No one knows what Bruce looks like when he's not green, so he wanders off and starts looking through someone's collection of longboxes.

[holli]

Oh geez, this is all entirely correct.

This is basically the most true thing you have written, and you have written a lot of true things.

(Also: at the Masquerade, somebody cosplays Cap *and the showgirls* doing "Star-Spangled Man," and Cap is all OH MY GOD.)

[holli]

You do know that there was a platoon of Cap showgirls marching in the parade last Dragoncon, right?

[hradzka]

I did not! But now I feel much more patriotic!

What does Thor do?

[holli]

Two words: room party.

This is a good question!

I imagine he has a rollicking good time, and has no idea what's going on. I'm trying to imagine--

Like, I can see him finding some WOW cosplayers and being like "These look like sensible folk! Maybe they can tell me where one goes to find game on Midgard?" Or just buying out an entire stall of Avengers t-shirts, even the ones that are just close-ups of everyone butts.

I dunno, Thor is slippery for some reason!

[brownbetty]

YES. Okay, new headcanon.

[musesfool]

Hee! I can see that.

[musesfool]

I imagine he has a rollicking good time, and has no idea what's going on.

That is why Thor is THE BEST. It looks like fun, so he's going to enjoy it, regardless of whether he has any idea what is actually happening. ♥

I envision him standing in the crowd, arms folded, laughing his jaunty laugh. And then getting slightly testy when someone pokes him in the eye with their fairy wings.

And then he uses Mjolnir to clear a path to the bar.
