all aboard the ss blamless

[pyroelectric]

Who: Crew of the SS Blameless and visitors.
Broadcast: Nope
Action: SS Blameless
When: March, or until we feel like a new one.

[It's a mingle! Get out of the car!

Unique ship notes for new crew and visitors: giant, unmissable scorch marks currently line the walls of several corridors leading from the cargo hold to the bridge!

Also, thanks to Kate, we now have a SWEARS AND ATTITUDES JAR displayed prominently in the kitchen. Whenever someone's being naughty instead of nice, they're compelled to deposit a few credits (or at least an iou) into the awaiting jar.

Also also, we are all still bunking together. HAVE FUN.]

"He wears a lot of different hats. So to speak. That just happens to be the one we share."

Sorta. Look, it wasn't as though she was speaking a total lie. Captain America did invite her onto the team in a general capacity, although she didn't fill out the more select team roster like others did. And she was even less likely to be brought along than Clint was. But she'd been a Young Avenger. And that had to count for something.

That's...interesting, another fact about her crew to file away for the future. Sara, in any case, knows this game; Kate's laid her cards on the table, and now she expects Sara to do the same. In some measure, at least.

Her mouth sets into a not-quite-frown, and she speaks slowly, carefully.

"There was a siege on my city." A truth, if a misleading one. "An army of men in masks, with inhuman strength and power. They didn't have any demands. All they wanted was chaos. Death and destruction for the sake of it. Anyone they found, they killed, and anything they found, they burned."

Would things have been different if they had an Avengers in their world? Maybe. But she would've still made the choices she did.

"They weren't in their right minds," she admits with some deliberation. That doesn't excuse what they did, what Slade did. "But letting them rampage wasn't an option. They wouldn't have stopped until every last person was dead."

She'd taken Oliver's lead, used the cure as much as possible. But that wasn't her natural inclination, nor what she would've done without his insistence.

"Sounds like the good fight to me, even if that's not how you got your scars."

Kate was satisfied with Sara's answer. Perhaps she'd poked enough, or perhaps it was adequate to know the woman had thrown herself into a fray worth having. It was about doing good not being good. And that wide and varied spectrum didn't always have the easiest lines to colour inside.
