Okay, I get that if you're under eighteen, you get a check every month from the City. That's good, but I'd feel better if I worked for my money. I've been waiting tables which is... okay, but we eat out a lot and all the ramen is starting to rack up. I could use a second job if anybody is hiring. I'm very athletic and can do a decent amount of lifting and other manual labor so if you know somebody who knows somebody who needs somebody, let me know?

Or if they need security. I'll do security too. [Going from superhero to toy cop. Epic downgrade, Katherine.]


[Private to the Avengers, Coulson, Neil, and Todd.]

From what I understand is that Billy's at home now, so it's best you try not to ask Teddy about him today. Or how Teddy's doing himself. He's pretty down about it, understandably.

[A pause.]

Don't tell him I told you this.

Could always put your skills to use ensuring that the places of lesser moral character in the Underground suddenly lack their typical funding for illegal and often harmful activities.

Like a modern day Robin Hood. You rob from the evil rich to give to the poor. The poor being yourself.

[joiedeviolet]

[Mini-Loki, you got serious problems.]

Good idea, but I'd rather donate the money to charity if I did that.

[doeswhathewants]

[More than you know.]

Donate the majority of it to charity and keep some of it to live on? Oh! Or if you do not need to live on it, donate it all and consider it earning your keep here. No need to thank me for giving you such brilliant advice, it is simply one of those things I do.

[joiedeviolet]

Right. Next time, I'll skip the network and head straight for you.

[No, she won't.]

[doeswhathewants]

I am detecting a fair bit of sarcasm in that statement. And I must say, I find it ridiculously unfair of all of you to keep holding what my old and dead self did, against me. It might sabotage the whole second chance to not be evil thing I have going on at the moment. Having seen all six of the Star Wars movies, I consider myself an expert on self fulfilling prophecies.

[joiedeviolet]

Actually, it's the whole you tooting your own horn on advice giving that I'm holding against you.

[beyourarmy]

The check was cool for a while, then I got bored.

You could always work at the zoo if you don't mind manual labor, and animals. Or check with Luke Valentine. Not sure if he needs anyone right now, but it never hurts to ask.

[joiedeviolet]

Yeah, boredom is something that's coming, but I'll work a boring job if it meant I was getting outside for a while.

Who's he?

[beyourarmy]

The zoo isn't boring at all! And you would be outside quite a bit.

Uh, the guy that runs Oh Aces. Long blond hair and glasses.

[joiedeviolet]

I don't know him. What's Oh Aces?

[beyourarmy]

It's a hotel lounge. Really nice and relaxing, and safe. No one is able to harm another person there.

[joiedeviolet]

[The way he says that... it makes her wonder.]

I'll check it out, thanks.

[Private]

[had_not_lived]

Oh, poor Teddy.

[Private]

[joiedeviolet]

Yeah, it sucks. Are we sure people go home when they leave here because I think it would make him feel a lot better to be sure Billy was home and not floating around in another alternate universe.

[Private]

[had_not_lived]

As far as I know, as long as they've got a home to go to, that's where they go. I'm sure Billy's all right.

[Private]

[joiedeviolet]

I hope so. I still don't trust this place. [Kate's going to worry just as much as Teddy now.]

[Private]

[had_not_lived]

Most people don't. But really-- I'm sure he's all right. He's come and gone so many times now, he must be.

...It means I'm on my own again at the bookstore, unless he comes back.

[yourbestguysgun]

You asked up at Stark's old place? They usually need security there. [ And he's not pointing out that you're a dame. So, progress! ]

[joiedeviolet]

Tony Stark? [Eeeh... yeah, she didn't check for so many reasons, Bucky. Get a cup of coffee and a bagel and she will list them all.] Not yet.

[yourbestguysgun]

I think it's just Stark Sr. and Ms Potts now. Might be worth somethin' to look into.

[joiedeviolet]

[Er, hold up her just a minute, Buckster.]

Did you just say Stark Sr.?

[yourbestguysgun]

Howard? [ Shrugging. He's not sure if people know or not. ] He's the only Stark where m'from, so I still don't know how to refer to 'em both.

[debrief]

Thank you for letting me know.

[joiedeviolet]

You're welcome. I thought it would be better than you accidentally triggering him by your many questions.

[debrief]

I wasn't planning on it.
