Her Heart

Her Dysfunctional Family

<Elsie Parker-Downey's Point of View><May 8, 2014>

          "Hey, sparky, how are you feeling?" Jeremy asked, I shrugged and sighed. "Isn't there a saying, been better? These past few days were hell, bear, not gonna lie." I sighed, he chuckled, turning to look to the right of us. "Yep, I think she's back to her old self, guys!" He laughed, we were joined by two more people. "Good to see that you're feeling yourself, kitty, had us worried for a while there." Scarlett said, I hummed. "You started to sound like you were actually strangling a cat." Evans said, I chuckled. "Trust me Darcy has tempted me a few times but I wouldn't. Though I have to agree with you, Captain Little Ass, I think my vocal cords are actually relieved to have gotten a break. My mind... not so much, what I miss?" I asked, picking up my script. The three happily caught me up to speed and added their own notes on the matter. "Hey, Jossie, ya' miss me?!" I asked in a coo singy voice making Joss chuckle shaking his head. "Good to see you're feeling better, Elsie, thought I would just let you know we'll be filming the party scenes and then a chase scene to get you caught up." He told me, pointing out the pages the scenes were on. "Karen has your things for the scenes waiting for you in your trailer, and this is for Lilly and Marcel." He said, handing me a sticky note I saw red Makeup: Light, Natural, smoky on it. "'Kay. Seems simple enough." I shrugged, pulling my American accent out heading to my trailer. "Hey, Karen!" I greeted, walking over to where she was waiting. "Hey, El, I'm so happy to hear you sounding like yourself again!" Karen happily greeted me, I thanked her before we turned our attention to the wardrobe hung up next to her. "Joss said that the party scenes were first." She said, gesturing to the outfit. After I changed, Lily and Marcel came in and worked their magic. I looked at myself before I walked out of my trailer for the party scene. "Wow, Kitty, you look nice!" Evans said, I made a quick face at him and put my hand in the pocket of the jumpsuit. "Thanks, Steve, you don't look so bad yourself for 70!" I smirked, hearing him chuckle as I went to my mark. The scene started with Thor and Tony talking about their girls with Maria and Rhodes, when the competition got awkward I walked into frame. "Well, if you ask me they're both examples of how much women really can stand." I said, stopping at the bar between the four grabbing the drink. "I thought I left you a dress?" Tony asked, I turned on my heels, cocking an eyebrow. "I don't do dresses. Also, Pepper left me the dress." I regarded, waving him off as I walked back past them. "Their superpowers are putting up with you." I mumbled, just loud enough for it to sound sassy as I walked over to Natasha behind the bar as Bruce walked away. "So...you and Dr. Banner?" I asked, leaning my hip against the bar. After we were done, I went back to my trailer to see the crew who helped me out of the party wear and into my superhero costume, I used a cotton ball pad and wiped my lipstick off then my eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow that Marcel fixed as Lily took my hair out before restyling it. "El, don't forget the mask!" Karen called, handing it to me. "Thank you!" I called before going back to the set.

            After filming, we all decided to go out and get something to eat. "I guess Exton's going to have to learn what it's like to not be the baby in the house anymore." I said, as I watched Evans adorably fond over Scarlett's 7 month pregnant belly. "Yeah, not sure he's fully grasped the fact that there is going to be a new baby in the family!" Dad chuckled, taking a drink of his beverage. "Real question is going to be how is mama going to handle raising three kids!" I joked, looking in time to see him chuckling as he shook his head. "You're horrible, princess!" He chuckled, I laughed shrugging. "If the shoe fits!"
