Broadcast: fleetwide video
Action: the iskaulit or the blameless
When: evening

[ the feed jumps straight to broadcast with kate bishop's face framed in the shot's centre. she must have only recently been below on the poisoned moon because she's still wearing her mask. give her a moment, and she's tugging it down around her neck before removing it completely. ]

Quick and painless interruption. I promise. Couple weeks ago I talked to a guy who didn't even know about the Avengers. So who does? What about the Young Avengers? I've seen a few familiar faces but there's gotta be more of us. Right? [ oh, she sounds hopeful. ] Or maybe you've heard of the Avengers while you were stuck somewhere else before here. I'd love to hear about it.

[ --- kate waits in silence for a moment, before adding: ] Also, I wish the fleet had a dance club. [ ... ] Hawkeye, out.

[ later that evening, she can be found at the classier gin joint on the iskaulit. although she's in a dress and her hair could be accurately described as done, kate sits with a nursed singapore sling and a notepad at her corner of the bar. it looks as though she's reviewing earlier conversations from the network, and is transcribing the occasional note. that said, she seems approachable. whenever someone passes by, she nods a greeting and smiles. doesn't hurt to be polite. ]

She'd have to be. [ ... ] The Clint that I know all too well is actually a part of the Fleet. Met him, yet?

We've talked a bit, yes. I'd wondered when we started issuing membership cards for the Avengers, but if we've been around as long as I gather it would make a certain amount of sense. There must have been dozens of us over time.

Much more than dozens. Heck, when he was still a spring chicken Clint headed up the West Coast Avengers.

Truly? There's been that much call for our services?

[That's...kind of saddening, in a way.]

I guess...I guess the world always needs heroes.

I suppose that can be true enough. Heroes are symbols, and symbols have power.

We've little enough call for the team here, though, I'm glad to say.

-- Which is why I've ended up as a cook on a ship with none other but Wolverine. Go figure.

[ she just assumes that if the vision knows clint, he must know logan. ]

[He's at least heard of him through Kitty, which is enough to get a smile.]

Well, if you'd like to practice together some time to prepare for just such an eventuality, I'd be more than happy to oblige.

...Really?

[ she knows he's not her vision. that guy died on a mission she was supposed to have been leading. but she can't help but feel a twinge beneath her ribs. ] I think I'd like that.

It would be my pleasure.

There's not much space here on the Windrose, but the moon or the Iskaulit both have ample facilities.

For now, I'm still bowless. But just about anything can be aimed if you're imaginative enough.

[ not to mention hand-to-hand. ]

[And tactics, strategy in general, evaluation of abilities, etc.]

The moon has a great variety of nonlethal weapons for the war games as well, though I've yet to get caught up in any not of my own choosing. [Being able to fly helps with that.] Have you looked to see if there's anything you may be able to use?

You think they might have an archery range? Maybe?

[ HOPEFUL. ]

I think there's a good chance, yes. As long as you don't mind blunted arrows.

I'm no stranger to blunt tips.

[ although -- admittedly, they often have some kind of tricky surprise hidden inside. at least, they do if she's cribbing some of clint's arrows. ] Honestly, it'll just feel good to have a bow in my hands again.

I'll do some research, then, and let you know once I've found a suitable facility.

You...don't have to go to any trouble.

It's hardly any trouble, though if you find one on your own please do let me know.

Hey. Have you been, uhm...here for long?

Several months, yes.

That's...that's too long.

Some have been here over a year. There doesn't seem to be any proof that time passes at anything like the same rate here as there, however. Wanda was here several weeks before I arrived, yet I knew her from a later point in the timeline at home and she had no memory of this place.

And everyone's just okay with the Scarlet Witch wandering around the fleet...?

[ -- look, kate was on wanda's side come the end of children's crusade. but she's surprised everyone else is so chill about it. ]

[He looks a bit rueful at that; while the Vision would be the first to defend her, he was also one of the front-row spectators to her meltdown on the dusty moon a few months ago.]

To be perfectly fair, most of them have no idea what she's capable of.

...I wonder if Wolverine knows she's here. [ because that might be a problem. ]
