WHO: Kate & Tommy WHERE: Kate's room at the MAC WHEN: Sunday night WARNINGS: Um. SUMMARY: Young Avengers reassembling in a platonic fashion FORMAT: Starting para, but if you like we can do quick
This time, Tommy didn't just burst through the door and appear in front of Kate, actually stopping to knock and wait like a normal person. For Kate, he'd slow down like the rest of the world and go at her pace, and that was what she needed most, it seemed. Contrary to popular belief, he could be thoughtful. Some times.
He knocked in rapid succession, and shoved his hands in his pockets to keep from fidgeting.
She'd been waiting for him this time, expecting him, and she opened the door quickly when she heard the knocking. Her face lit up, just a little, and she stepped aside to let him in, closing the door firmly behind him.
"What took you so long?" She asked him, though her heart wasn't entirely in the jibe. "I've been waiting all night."
Tommy sauntered into the room, though for once, his swagger was turned down, just a little. Even if he felt he was shut out most of the time, Tommy wasn't ignorant to his teammate's feelings, and he knew something was up when he arrived her. His brother fine since the alien boyfriend showed back up, but Kate was still troubled.
He was genuinely concerned about her, and didn't show up just to win her favor.
"So, what's the plan?" He asked as he turned back to her, spreading his hands. "Up for a night on the town, or maybe you were thinking of staying in?"
Kate's brows were knit into a concerned little line, whole face awash with one of those expressions that said she was agitated. She didn't answer him at first, seemingly caught in her own thoughts, though really her mind was more or less blank. It had seemed so important to see her friend, to have someone familiar be near to her. Now that he was here, she almost didn't want to ruin everything by opening her big mouth and saying something inappropriately dumb.
"Can we go for a walk or something?" She asked lamely, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
