Who: Kate Bishop + YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit
When: Yesterday evening.

Want to play a game? [ kate's surroundings are, quite evidently, a lush little corner of málum. the neon-y blue tinge of the bar's decor casts its colour over her features. there's a tall, impressively concocted cocktail at her elbow. ] I mean, I know I do. So here's how it goes: you tell me anywhere you'd rather be but here, with the caveat that it can't just be a home. I think it's safe to say that home is a very understandable answer, but it's also a little too achingly realistic for my purposes. So pick somewhere else. Pick Ibiza. Pick Iceland, if you want.

Well, unless Iceland is your home. Then please refer to rule numero uno. It also happens to be the game's only rule. [ short and sweet, that's our katerade.

and maybe about an hour (and maybe another drink) later: ] ...Does anyone wanna come dance with me?

[ swipe right, dear flooters. swipe right. ]

Mm . . . I wouldn't want to do it alone. I mean, that sort of defeats the purpose of a team, doesn't it? [a pause] Not that - the crew is a team, not really, but - same idea, pretty much.

[ladybro]

A different kind of team. But still a team.

[beathach]

Right. [a small smile] Most of us are from a team anyway.

[ladybro]

I wouldn't mind a bit of stability on this one, mind you. Too much coming and going. I mean -- it's great that people are finding their way back home and all, but...

[ she trails off. ]

[beathach]

. . . I know what you mean.

[she doesn't have to say anything else, he gets it]

[ladybro]

I miss Sara.

[beathach]

Mm . . . I wish I got to know her better.

[ladybro]

What about Wolverine -- did you meet Wolverine? I don't miss him as much but that's because he's always been a bit of an asshole but...at least he was alive, here.

[ and not old and senile. ]

[beathach]

I didn't get to see him, no. [a wry smile] That doesn't change across timelines.

[ladybro]

You know what does change? Wolverine being a girl. I'm not even lying.

[beathach]

. . . I can't picture it at all.

[ladybro]

Just picture Laura Kinney. But Wolverine-ier.

[beathach]

Ah - I haven't met Laura yet.

[ladybro]

I suppose that makes sense. She never seems altogether...social.

[beathach]

Mm, that's what Charles said, more or less. He spoke with her at the masquerade, I believe.

[ladybro]

She's actually the Wolverine back home, in my time. The active one, at least.

[beathach]

The active one? Did Logan retire?

[another thing he can't picture]

[ladybro]

Not...exactly.

[ c'mon, hank. you can read between the lines. ]

[beathach]

[HE DOESN'T WANT TO]

. . . oh.

[ladybro]

I'm so sorry. [ she knows they weren't close -- but still. ]

[beathach]

—why are you apologizing to me? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

[ladybro]

I barely knew him. [ ... ] Not until here, at least. And he was an X-Man. Probably more your side of the aisle than mine, hypothetically.

[beathach]

Ah. Well . . . we weren't exactly close - I only knew him for a couple of days.

[and it's another world separate from his. Even if it still bothers him a little]

[ladybro]

[ a firm nod. ]

So it's a shame. But I guess even though we're not ultra grieved, we just got to remind ourselves that he probably lived a crazy long life.

[beathach]

Yeah, he probably did. Everything I hear about him only confirms his life was pretty crazy.
