[joiedeviolet]

[Nothing different about tonight in the City, not even the giant splash that comes from fountain in the Square as a teenaged girl falls into it out of nowhere. Nope, just the usual. When she comes up for air, her gasping and shrieking about how cold the water is, it’s still the usual entrance for the new people, soaking wet clothes and all.]

Tommy! I’m going to break the rule for throwing me into the pool and don’t even attempt to-- …Tommy?

[Half out of the fountain, Kate glances around, noticing that this is no longer the pool at her house or her house at all. Or even New York City for that matter. Damn. She hangs her head in defeat because this is one battle Kate knows she won’t win because once a person has been through the timestream and back, they know something's about to go down.

And nothing's going to be fun.]

Please tell me this isn't a part of Latveria we didn't explore.

I don't want to stop. [ He sounds almost guilty about it, but if there's anything he knows, he can talk to Kate. ]

I know it's dangerous, I do get that, but I just can't - I need to help people. [ Like his father. ] I still want to be an Avenger.

[Kate doesn't say anything for a few long minutes, knowing exactly how he feels, but also feeling guilty. There are nights where she lies in bed and her muscles twitch and ache with the need to be moving with the action of fighting off perps, but then she remembers where that leads and Kate just doesn't think she can handle what comes afterwards.]

I don't want to lose anymore friends.

action;

[awildhulkling]

I know, I don't either.

[ Which is why this is so difficult. He can't help it, the urge to fight back, but they both know the toil of damage. He knows where Kate's coming from. ]

[joiedeviolet]

I'll support whatever you decide to do.

[Because that's what friends--no, family does.]

[awildhulkling]

Thanks. [ He means it, offering her a smile. ] C'mon, coffee.

[joiedeviolet]

Starbucks?

action;

[awildhulkling]

There isn't one. [ Much to his upset. It actually kills him. ] It's like the end of the world.

[Kate's staring at him. Teddy, please be lying.]

What? No green tea fraps?

action;

[awildhulkling]

Nope. I'm working in a cafe though, hopefully I'll learn for all the frapp-y delicious needs.

action;

[joiedeviolet]

Bootleg fraps. Just what I always wanted!

[This means she'll have to get a job too. Not a problem.]

What's Billy doing?

action;

[awildhulkling]

I don't know, he's trying to find one though, just like me. But they're pretty good at helping people get going here.

action;

[joiedeviolet]

They should, I guess, if they're going to drags us all here and make us stay.

action;

[awildhulkling]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

And we're in that building there. [ Pointing towards the apartment they're walking towards. ]

action;

[joiedeviolet]

[Following his finger, Kate looks up at the building and nods.]

You guys have a couch?

[To crash on until she can find her own place? Can all three them fit in that apartment? Can she live full-time with boys? Stay tuned.]

action;

[awildhulkling]

Yep. It's small, but Billy can fix that if we need him to. [ Boyfriend with magic? Best thing ever. ]

action;

[joiedeviolet]

Cool, but maybe I'll get my own place?

[She's offering herself out. Kate figures those two lovebirds would like their privacy, the kind they never got back home.]

action;

[awildhulkling]

You don't have to.

[ He grins, opens the door because she's his friend and they stick together. ] Come in.
