No, taking pictures and videos.

Documenting everything.

It's kinda cool, that everyone can do it.

[morethan084]

[Smile widening at his explanation, Skye never realized just how used to all of this she is until speaking with someone like Steve. He's seen a lot more of the world than she has.]

Do you need help figuring out how the camera feature works?

[Skye teases because, well, she can. He makes it easy.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Nah. But maybe you can explain to me why everyone posts pictures of themselves with dog ears and a weird tongue.

[ Also please explain meme culture to him he just doesn't Get It ]

[morethan084]

You mean a filter?

[Considering how tech savvy she was, this was pretty hilarious to her.]

Because they’re fun. Want me to show how to use it?

[pursuitofcappiness]

Sure.

[ He sounds skeptical. ]

Show me.

[morethan084]

Here. Scoot over.

[Taking off her fluid, Skye straightens it out and brings up the app with all the filters and holds it up so the camera is facing him.]

Stick out your tongue.

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ What?

He goes over and he does a tiny, tiny blep.

It's not very effective. ]

[morethan084]

[Skye doesn’t even try to hold back her laughter now.]

No. Not like that. Like...

[Skye sticks out her tongue further and the filter shows up on the screen.]

How can someone be so old and look so young at the same time?

[pursuitofcappiness]

What do you mean by that?

[ He tries a bigger thing and it works, and he immediately snaps his mouth closed in surprise.

He's such a boomer! ]

[morethan084]

[That has Skye throwing her head back from laughing so hard over his reaction.]

Oh my god. The look on your face.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Am I not doing this right?

[ He tries again. He looks ridiculous. ]

What am I doing wrong?

[morethan084]

You just stick your tongue out.

[Skye gets out between laughs. This is guy is an Avenger and yet he’s still somehow awful with technology. It’s hilarious.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

I did!

[ He says this indignantly.

He tries again, and manages it, taking a photo. ]

...I don't like it. How do I erase it?

[morethan084]

Nope.

[Skye attempts to pluck her phone out of his hand.]

I'm keeping this one.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Skye--!

[ He tries to get the phone back once it's out of his hands ]

[morethan084]

[Skye quickly moves her hand with the phone in it away from his reach.]

Too late. Already saved it and sent it to Bucky.

[pursuitofcappiness]

--What!

Skye, did you really send it to Bucky?

[morethan084]

[Well at least one of them is having fun right now.]

I guess you’re going to have to ask him.

[She moves further out of his reach, just in case he tries to make a swipe for her phone.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Skye--!

[ He texts Bucky quickly before trying to get the phone back. ]

[morethan084]

Too late!

[Skye attempts to duck under his arm so she can roll off the couch and get away from him.

Yes. She is five years old, thank you.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ Too bad! He's got her, but is she slippery enough to slide out from his grasp? ]

[morethan084]

[She’s trying at least to worm her way out of his hold, laughing the entire time as she tries to tuck her hand with the phone in it under her back.]

I don’t know why you’re trying at this point. The damage is done.

[Is it really damage when it’s just straight-up hilarious? Well, to everyone BUT Steve anyway.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

What if he posts it to the network?

[ He levels a look in her general direction. ]

[morethan084]

Ooh that’s a good idea, I hadn’t thought of that.

[Attempting to roll away from him, Skye brings her phone back out as if she’s actually about to upload it.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ He wouldn't usually, but he'll tackle Skye if he needs to. ]
