@kickasser said, “I wouldn’t call it bravery.”
He was ahead of her thinking, for once. Kate would normally call it stupidity that had gotten him hurt. But she spared him the lecture she knew he was already giving himself. She set the split at his brow, the gash reached his crown. “Okay.” Not the first time she didn’t agree with him. Kate’s fingers combed through his curls lightly, wiping the blood from his hair, “I would.”
It was a hit he didn’t have to take for her. A hit that could have easily gotten either of them killed. “I’d say it was very brave.”
he groans, touches his fingers to where he feels the burning of his head. it doesn’t hurt as much as it probably should, which is saying a lot, because it fucking stings. her hand moving his hair tugs at the skin.
“thanks.” and he means it, even if he mostly just feels like a fucking idiot. “think it needs stitches?”

“you can say ‘fuck’ y’know. i’m not some baby.” head nods and glasses slip; a finger comes to save them. “i say it all the time.”

‘ i came to apologize . there … i did it . i apologized . ’
she stops him as he’s walking past the door of the restaurant. his boots scuff on the concrete, and he tenses at the sudden sound of her voice ---- just instinct. he’s a bit out of breath, and he pulls on the strings of his hoodie, tightening it around his face to make sure the green of his top doesn’t show through the too-loose collar. “uh, yeah. apology accepted. for sure.”
the good place. @rottenone

“oh, that’s great.” a feigned smile as she holds her hand out. the grin drops within a nanosecond. “twenty - five, even. we’re out of cupholders, by the way.”
two tens and a five. a couple of the corners are torn, creases down the middle are deep. he has the decency to be a little embarrassed, at least, handing her the money, all lukewarm and floppy. “i’ll eat a few here. if that’s ... cool?”
rottenone·.
the piercing stare observes his appearance. if he’s trying to hide that he’s been in a fight, he’s doing a terrible job. to her, anyway. maybe she’s just seen too much of her friends coming back roughed up. “you have lunch money or did the bullies shake you down for it?”
“i have money.” and it’s true. it’s sweaty and crinkled because of the way he had it shoved into his pocket, but it’s there. “and i haven’t had it stolen in a while.”
STARTER CALL @rottenone
split lip the only remnant, he’s changed into dirty sneakers, holey jeans, a lord of the rings t-shirt. glasses are slightly askew over the swelling in his cheek; past that, it’s easy to smile a little into, “can i get taho? five of ‘em?”
vihilum.
POP! POP! POP!
“They have guns!” Bullets ricochet off off unlit signs, shattering bulbs, glass crunching under every hurried step. The shots keep missing, but they keep coming, and Kate doesn’t slow even once. But there are no more turns - they’ve meandered into a series of dead ends nestled within a small outlet mall, connected to the warehouse. Their best defense is out in the open - a jewelry counter, towards which she makes a nosedive for cover, tugging the crook of Dave’s elbow with her. She angles her bow back, crouched and with little indication she’s hitting her mark right - she focuses on the sound of the gunfire, where it’s coming from, and that’s when she fires off the arrow.
There’s quiet. Her eyes flicker to Dave’s. Should we check?
part of him feels responsible for the subsequent shots that ring out. (he’s been shot at before. it never gets better. always a clammy chill down his spine, imagining the burning of a bullet embedded in himself. or even worse, now, in kate.) ducking and crouching he runs with her the best he can, heavy soles clapping with hurried gait, coming to a rough stop kneeling next to her. the hiss of her arrow and the gun fire silences. they lock eyes, and he inhales once and quickly before twisting to check.
he doesn’t doubt her aim, and the loyalty is rewarded when he sees a person on the ground, cradling where an arrow protrudes. he relaxes enough to fuck himself over, because another round of shots pop off, the wounded suddenly being pulled backwards by reinforcements. one grazes the outer edge of his forearm, and he gives a strangled, “fuck!” before he watches blood bloom into green fabric.
@kickasser said, “Sometimes it feels good to fuck with something. Instead of always being fucked with.”
Kate’s gaze settled on his profile. She watched him for a moment, mulled over what to say. “Dave,” though they were both cloaked in their suits, his cowl was not adorned, but set down beside his hand, “this can give you power, no,” clarification hitched in a breath, “this does give you power,” her digits brushed the mask, “some people wear a uniform and think,” she inhaled slow, “they can away with a lot.”
Kate’s hair was swept back, pulled up high, her face was on display. “What you do with this is up to you,” she knew he didn’t owe this world anything, “just be true to who you are,” she stole one of his fries, popped it into her mouth, “remember why you started, and all that jazz.”

“Here and there,” there was a trace of modesty to her smile, ebbed away when her hues darted over to Dave’s, like she so desperately wanted to fill him in on a secret and was debating over whether to spill. “The Young Avengers,” Kate shrugged nonchalantly, “at my sister’s wedding. I saved their skins.” In a way, claiming that mantle had saved hers too. Given her a sense of purpose that never wavered. “I’d never done any of this before when I first worked with them. I was just another civilian. They didn’t know who I was,” the car meandered towards a drive-thru, as promised, “it felt good, proving myself to them, proving myself to myself,”shoulders shrugged lightly, “you ever think about that? The moment you became cool for yourself?”
“ the young avengers? come on. “ if the imposter syndrome beforehand was out of control, you should see it the moment she says that. it’s almost palpable, the way it starts to permeate. he chews on his lower lip, thinking. “ i thought i was cool at first. uh, for the wrong reasons. “ an understatement, but at least he’s being honest. “ think i’m still waiting on my moment. “
vihilum·.
Once he sends the hand flying in the direction of the opposite corridor, is when Kate’s heart lurches to her throat. “We should…” she spun on her heel, and turned straight into an array of mannequins clustered together just behind her. As they started to sway, Kate’s arms rose in a desperate attempt to capture them, a few landing within her grip. But she underestimated their weight, and her shoe slid a few inches, enough for Kate to lose grip on the collection, all of them slipping from her grasp - she slips on her heel, and steadies herself, “Shit,” under her breath. The clattering echoes down the hall, and as the mannequins hit the floor, pieces break apart and glide, and the entire crowd they have submerged themselves at the heart of starts to tip over like dominoes. She can’t salvage this - hues flicker in Dave’s direction, and a nervous, exasperated smile cracks across her features, “We dip.”
he hears his own voice inside his head give a hearty FUCK! once he hears the start of the topple, and they start to be revelaed in the crowd. fingers find his batons -- it's an instinct, grip offering some comfort. he doesn't bother being quiet when he starts running, thick soles of hihs boots making heavy contact on the floor. he angles his head when he turns the corner, whispering urgently in ... not really a whisper. ❛ you think they have guns? ❜
