driftfleet | o1;; You didn't see that coming?

Who: Pietro & You!
Broadcast: yes
Action: SS Bloodsport
When: Right now

[ Video;; ]
[ The video feed shakes, the audio cracking as the communicator is moved around. The broadcasting image so far is the floor, covered in multicolored confetti, and a pair of black and grey running sneakers in view. The left foot taps impatiently before the video swings again to the bridge of the Bloodsport. ]

[ There is a sigh before heavily accented voice accompanies the shoddy cameraman-ship. ] If this is someone's idea of a prank, it lacks humor.

[ The communicator finally turns around, and Pietro is very firmly not happy with this situation. ]

I have complaints.

[ SS Bloodsport;; ]
[ Pietro can be found in various places throughout the Bloodsport. In the kitchen, trying to figure out what the deal with protein paste is. The bridge offers a bit of a distraction with the endless sea of stars or the array of broadcast settings, and how can he resist settling into the bunks? It's been a very long time since he's had his own room. ]

[ He grins at her. ]

Pietro Maximoff. It's a pleasure, Kate.

...Quicksilver.

[ -- unabashed, she names him with the name she knows best. but it comes with an unwanted flush to her cheeks. but it's not pietro she's thinking about. it's tommy. ]

Guess the hair should have given it away.

Oh, so you know me? Or some version of me?

[ He is rather proud of the hair.. ]

We've met. [ the pieces fall into place. ] Or I've met you. I'm guessing you haven't met me. Universes are funny like that.

I'm certain I'd remember such a pretty face if we'd met before.

[ oh, so it seems tommy might have come by his cheesy flirtation rather honestly. kate has to remind herself that this is tommy's uncle. billy's uncle. and so she feels a dose of shame over the flush high in her cheeks. ]

Maybe I was wearing a mask at the time. [ against her better judgement, her retort is playful. a little tit-for-tat. ]

It's entirely possible. I go to so many places where masks are involved.

[ Not even a little bit. Well, unless there were people in masks at protests. Or for whatever reason at the HYDRA facility. But those aren't good things, and there's a pretty lady right here, so things are definitely looking up. ]

Dentist offices. Halloween shops. Superhero-themed parties.

That's exactly right. So many parties, I am having difficulty thinking of them all.

Sadly, the parties around here are kind of lacking. Confetti aside. [ ... ] But once you're on your feet, you can stop by Malum on the Iskaulit. The jukebox has some decent tunes. It's a classy place.

[ ... ]

And I work there, so I might be biased.

Yes, it hasn't escaped my notice that they don't know how to throw a proper celebration. Where is the dessert? Because this [ He holds up a wiggly dish of chocolate protein gel topped with what could maaaaybe be sprinkles, ] is not edible.

I will absolutely stop by and see you. At least to buy a drink from you.

[ she stamps down on the knee-jerk desire to ask just FROM me and not FOR me? keep it together, kate'n'barrel. ]

Maybe bring your sister, too. [ ... ] She must be happy to see you. We only met the once. A couple of planets ago.

[ If he brings his sister, he can't very well buy Kate a drink, too!! That's just asking for teasing from Wanda. ]

I am very happy to see her, too. We will make it a point to stop by your bar.

Maybe I'll invite Clint. [ just to watch his eyes bulge. wanda's got that guy wrapped around her little finger. ]

It sounds like quite the reunion party.

So maybe we coax Cap along, too. [ she's only teasing. ] He's your Cap, anyway. Not mine.

Oh he's my responsibility, is he?

Seems so. [ a cheeky smile. ] It'll be like a reunion -- Cap's Kooky Quartet.

I suppose it would be. We're apparently just shy of a full Avengers team.

You know -- if you've got a vacancy? I'm practically an Avenger.

[ she's so proud of herself, yo. ]

I'm not sure if you should talk to Rogers or Stark about vacancies.

Neither, back home -- at least...not for a little while now. The Avengers roster gets shaken up pretty often. [ ... ] Still haven't figured out if your world is big enough for two Hawkeyes, yet, though.

Why would an entire world not be big enough for two people? I believe Barton could use a bit of competition. We don't want him to get too cocky, do we?

The world should always be big enough for two Hawkeyes -- my Barton told me that, once upon a time. But I've never met yours. It's possible he could be even more of a jerk-butt. Right?

[ she aims for a smile, but mostly it's just weird. a whole world where so many people she knows still exist, except for her. ]

He does have a very 'jerk-butt' air about him.
