[ backdated, shortly after this ]

so just out of pure hypothetical curiosity, just how secret did you wanna keep the fact that you know tony and are an avenger?

[wingmans]

It's not really a secret. If he's asking, go ahead. I don't mind.

[soinsouciant]

oh good. awesome. still glad I checked in before saying anything. imagine if I just blabbered without checking. whew.

so anyway, can you do me a favor? if you start seeing an orange tabby cat somewhere, let me know, ok?

[wingmans]

There's a cat on the spaceship?

[ does he need to prepare for an alien crossover.

[soinsouciant]

well, let's go with 'looks like one' and 'mostly acts like one'.

[wingmans]

If this cat tries to eat me, I'm gonna be pissed.

[soinsouciant]

if it helps, she tends to eat bad guys. and the tesseract that one time.

[wingmans]

It really doesn't.

[soinsouciant]

want me to tell you about the tentacles or just show you once I've located her again?

[wingmans]

The last one for sure.

[soinsouciant]

I'll send you a picture.

but seriously, let me know if you see her. I think she's glitching aboard via anomaly, and I don't want her being aggravated around the wrong person.

well it's either that or I'm starting to have a psychotic break with cat shaped hallucinations.

y'know, either or.

[wingmans]

Not both? Because both seems like an option.

But I hear you. I'll keep an eye out for a demonic cat.

[soinsouciant]

both is always an option
I mean why be satisfied with one thing when you can have a whole bag full of shenanigans, right?

[wingmans]

You're enjoying this a little too much.

[soinsouciant]

yeah. kind of have to, right? not sure I'm a fan of the alternative, to be honest.

[wingmans]

What's the alternative?

[soinsouciant]

probably that psychotic break you mentioned. and the ship's not carrying enough ice cream for that. :)

[wingmans]

We can look into the ice-cream situation.

But you're not alone. You know that, right? I know it probably still feels rough and we don't know each other that well. But we can work it out.

[soinsouciant]

acquiring all of the ice cream would be super heroic. just saying. pretty sure it's in your contract now.

wow, you are really good at this. the whole earnest empathy, I mean. I hope people tell you that all the time. Don't worry about me, though. I'm like a quarter human, quarter kree, quarter bad jokes and quarter punch-first-ask-later. I might joke about going stir crazy, but I promise I won't punt the ship into the nearest sun.

[wingmans]

I'm not worried about you losing it.

Sometimes, it just helps to talk it out. That's all. Better to have a ear than a void.

And I'll look into the ice-cream business.

[soinsouciant]

That's good. Because not gonna lie, sometimes I just want to get into that cockpit and... I don't know. Turn this bus around.

I talk a lot, but I don't think I'm all that good at... you know. Talking it out. My people skills are a bit rusty. Occupational hazard.

[wingmans]

You're still a person. Rust and all.

And I hear you. I don't know if I can make it or not. But we have to hang in there.

[soinsouciant]

That's a nice sentiment.

And are you? Hanging in there, I mean.

[wingmans]

So far. I'll let you know if that changes.

[ probably. sam isn't the best at volunteering information about himself, but he's never been less than honest. muted, perhaps, but never untruthful. ]

[soinsouciant]

buddy system? you got me, I got you, that whole deal?
