[ Being a fan of superheroes is something Daisy understands all too well. As each new Avenger had appeared on the scene, she'd spent countless hours researching everything she could about the heroes. She'd even cosplayed outside Stark Tower with a whole crowd of other fangirls. (Once, it had been one time.) But then she'd become one of the heroes and learned just how hard that life can be. How lonely and dangerous... She envies the ones who can manage to hold onto that childlike wonder and secretly hopes that one day she might be able to get it back.
As the seconds tick by, she starts to wonder if her gut is wrong and this guy is an awkward fan just trying to figure out how to approach her. She's about to prod him a little more when he answers.
Smasher. Is he— No, he's definitely serious. It takes a whole lot of willpower for Daisy to hold back the laughter that threatens to bubble out of her. She really wants to make a Hulk joke (like, really really), and it's extremely unfair that no one in this universe would have any idea what she's talking about.
So this actually is a fanboy talk. That's fine. She can do this. ]
Thanks, Smasher. [ Okay, so she can't entirely hide her amusement at the name. It at least shouldn't come off as cruel or dismissive. ] I appreciate that. Is there something I can do for you?
