Vision has no hair anywhere on his body–no armpit hair, no eyebrows, no eyelashes. No fingernails. His skin tastes like metal. Sometimes, he forgets to breathe for minutes or hours at a time.

Captain Marvel smells like burning. When you touch her, your hand comes away cold because she’s absorbed your body heat. If she gets cut, she bleeds light. She can tell you what the inside of an explosion feels like.

Bruce Banner vomits after de-hulking. His skin is always red and peeling. He looks sick, like he has a fever, and he ingests more medication than actual food. There are blisters on his lips.

Tony Stark has a huge, sunken scar on his sternum where the arc reactor was removed and his chest aches each time he takes a breath. He has callouses in odd places–so does the whole team, really–and there is a permanent bald spot on the back of his head where it has been cut open every time he gets thrown around in his suit.

Spider-Man sometimes forgets which way is up–if you put him in a room with identical walls, floor, and ceiling, he couldn’t tell you which is which. His hands and feet are prickly to the touch, even through his costume. He is very nearsighted.

The Scarlet Witch has no sense of boundaries; if you can’t tell she’s spying on your thoughts, why should she stop? She doesn’t do it out of any malicious intent, just out of curiosity and convenience. She never loses arguments.

Thor speaks about events that happened thousands of years ago as if they were last week. Cats arch their backs and stare at him. Something about him–his eyes, or his skin, or the way he moves–seems slightly off, like he doesn’t belong on Earth at all.

stuff like that.

The Black Widow doesn’t speak. She was trained to be quiet, silent, unnoticeable. Unless someone engages with her, she will sometimes be deadly silent for hours on end: watching, listening.

The Black Panther unconsciously watches people, paying close attention to their every move. He moves with a cat-like grace, and at night, he can see better than he can in the day. His eyes glint in the moonlight.

steve rogers forgets what year it is on the regular. he keeps an inhaler with him always, not out of necessity, but habit. he is cold to the touch.

gamora is always on edge. the color purple makes her sick, and the only person she hates more than herself is thanos.

clint barton can’t sleep. he spends most of his nights on rooftops, looking at the stars and thinking about how small and insignificant he is. his hearing is slowly going and it scares him.

bucky barnes’ smiles are few and far between, only ever directed at steve. his left side is heavy, a constant reminder of his loss weighing him down. he takes the prosthetic off when he’s alone. 

Y’all.
