Dear readers,
this is a behind the scenes AU, basically, the story occurs amongst the cast of "Avengers: Age Of Ultron". The character 'Ryan' is OC, and the character he plays, 'Marcus Antione' is not in the movie. This is not how I think the movie should happen, but I needed a way to fit my own character into the story.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, the movie belongs to Marvel and the badassitude belongs to Joss Whedon. Although I did come up with Ryan.
I walked onto the set with no idea what to expect. I'd been told:
"Hey Ryan, by any chance would you like to be in the next avengers film?" Of course I replied "Hell yeah".
I'd been given a plot summary which I still don't understand and a basic character outline. I shoulda been at home memorizing lines and building my character, but instead I went in to meet all the stars.
I could hardly believe how lucky I was to have met these people, I mean, I took a selfie with chris-fucking-Evans, and he didn't dismiss me as a screaming fangirl, although that's what I really was on the inside.
I shook hands with all the cast and got autographs, made a few jokes and generally made a good first impression with all my heroes. But there was still one person I hadn't met, Scarlett Johanson.
I searched around for a while before asking chris where she was, he gave me a cautionary look before responding "she's hanging around outside the makeup department. Be careful, I hear it's boyfriend troubles". With this in mind I ventured over to the makeup department. As I rounded a corner I saw her, standing by herself, as if beckoning me closer. I took a moment to admire the dress she wore, it was smart, but casual. It had just the right cling in just the right places without drawing too much attention to her. Of course she was Scarlett Johanson, the dress wasn't what got the attention.
I cautionarily approached her and stopped when I was directly behind her, she cocked her head slightly to acknowledge I was there but didn't try to engage in conversation. I opened with the usual routine: "miss Johanson?", no reply, "ummm, I'm new here and I was wondering if-" she cut me off "No autographs, no interviews, no questions and definitely no fucking selfies!". She regained her posture and continued to stare into the distance. I wasn't too surprised at the reaction, but I was insulted that she never turned to look at me. So I went with my gut instinct and threw out a humorous ice-breaker, hoping shed throw me a line: "I'm gonna feel really bad if I don't say this, so I'm just putting it out there, I totally jerked off to the leaked nudes of you last week, and the week before, and pretty much since they came out". I waited for a response, none came.
suddenly she started shuddering, I thought this was either because she was going to cry or because she was in a rage and about to castrate me. As I prepared to die though, suddenly the most unexpected noise escaped her mouth: laughter. She totally cracked up at the joke, she even turned around to look and me and I could see her smile and the tears in her eyes that she had been crying before. The tears of sadness that were now being replaced with tears of laughter as she convulsed uncontrollably.
"That was actually pretty funny kid... I haven't laughed like that in a while. I like you, so, what was it you wanted?" She asked, I took a moment to respond with the right answer, "I was originally coming to tell you that I'm the new wildcard for the film, and ask if you had any advice, but just making you laugh was more than enough for me". She registered my words before quickly quipping back "first but of advice, flattery gets you nowhere kid, second piece of advice, do as the director says, third piece of advice, actually act, don't pretend on stage or you will lose your job. Fourth piece of advice, unless your making me laugh, don't tell a celebrity that you get off to her leaked nudes, because of that I will always think of you differently".
I took a few seconds to process this advice before trying to come up with a humorous quip that didn't include flattery. I decided on: "Ms Johanson, any man who claims to not have gotten off to your nudes is lying, and 70% of all women who say they don't are lying too". She laughed again, a nice drawn out long laugh that ended in a slight giggle. "Oh I do like you, your very creative, and not afraid to step over the line. You know what, I think I might keep you. Oh, and call me Scarlett, please".
I knew I was on a role so I had to keep going, "Well Scarlett, I must warn you, I'm very expensive to feed, must be taken on walks twice a day and supplied with a fresh supply of Wi-Fi on a daily basis". She kept her laughs in this time but couldn't contain the creeping smile that spread from ear to ear. "You know, I'm glad the cast you, who are you playing anyway? Please tell me your taking over Rumlows role, I can't even remember the guy that plays him, but he's trying to get into my pants constantly." I already had my answer ready before she had finished her sentence: "I'm playing Marcus Antoine, the catch-phrase slinging, gun toting badass, and as for your stalker problems, I'm sure that if you 'leaked' another selfie, that guy would disappear into his mums basement for a week, as would the entire male cast, and half the female cast".
"Marcus Antoine? My god, your 'the' wildcard, they literally changed the whole script just to include you as that character, and they are still working on the final copy... And rumor has it, if your lucky, you may get the real life nude Scarlett Johanson. Ryan, I believe you and I have a sex scene" she leaned slightly to the side so that her face was covered in shadow when she delivered the last sentence, making it impossible to get any kind of read on her, I had no idea what her expression was or what her thoughts on this was.
"Sorry Ryan" she said when she looked at her watch, "I gotta dash, I hope to see you, perhaps with less clothes on, later". She slowly walked past me and I had to admire the view, it was beuatiful. And I just couldn't help myself. "I think we both know I'm the one who wants to see you with less clothing on Scarlett!" I called after her, earning a small giggle as she rounded a corner.
Oh well, that could have been much worse!
So, how was that? For those of you unable to tell, Scarlett and Ryan are gonna hook up. There will probably be sex, in which Scarlett is extremely dominant and Ryan discovers that he is submissive.
