WHO: Cap and Spider-Woman WHERE: The Avengers's ice cream parlour. WHEN: Tonight. YOU. WARNINGS: None. SUMMARY: Let's play get to know you! FORMAT: Quicklog or paragraph.
[Jessica is a little late, and a little out of breath as she enters the parlour. She tries to ignore the panic on the face of the guy behind the counter; he definitely recognizes her from last time. In her defense, it was all Peter's fault.]
Cap!
[Jess manages to restrain herself from waving dorkily, but only just. She pushes her mask back as she joins him at his table, shaking out her hair.]
It's really good of you to meet up with me like this. I know we're basically strangers, but it means a lot to me.
[ Steve stands up when Jess comes over, face lighting the moment he lays eyes on her. When she gets closer, he holds out a hand for a shake. ]
It's a pleasure to meet you too, Miss Drew. Really, it means a lot to me too that you have such a high opinion of me.
[Bashfully, he runs a hand through his hair.]
I spend a lot of time trying my best to live up to people's expectations and sometimes it feels like I fail more than I succeed. Still, we do our best, right?
[She shakes his hand, firmly, then sits at the table.]
Please, call me Jessica, or Jess. I haven't been Miss Drew since I first tried keeping a secret identity, and I really don't need to be reminded of that.
[She smiles at his bashfulness, then idly plays with a menu; it's pretty clearly a nervous gesture.]
I know what it's like to be in that situation. I mean, not to the extent you do, obviously. But yeah, we all try our best, and hope it's good enough.
[Cap sits as she does. He would have pulled her chair out for her, but... well. Some women don't respond well to that, he's found.]
If you're going to be Jess, then you should call me Steve.
[And the admission of his secret identity is an easy thing. To be fair, it's not like it's ever been that much of a secret, not among friends.]
Yes... I imagine we all do at some point...
[He smiles, then, and it's the sun rising from behind the storm clouds.]
But, enough about things that we can't change. Why don't you tell me about yourself? You obviously know a lot about me, but I know hardly anything about you. That's a little unfair, don't you think?
