[Strange things have been going on recently. You may have noticed notes appearing on your bookmarks or in your cookies that aren't even fortune cookies or written out in the dust on your desk—you should really clean that. They include:

"Mon-El and Kara are cousins."

"Kara dyes her hair."

"Mon-El glitterbombs his enemies."

"Kara is, like, really old."

But it hasn't kept the couple from being extremely cute with each other. His communicator kicks on for what can only be Atroma-related reasons as they walk hand-in-hand into the Goldstone's cargo bay.]

So, Princess Bride again tonight?

As you wish!! I mean, we could branch out, but you really can't top it for quality.

[He laughs.] Seventh time is the charm? Or are we on sixth? [He leans in, ready to kiss her when something catches his eye—a crate with his name on it.] What’s that?

How should I know? It has your name on it. Do you have a secret admirer now?

Maybe. I am a very good bartender. [Smiling as he walks over to it and without so much as a crowbar, he flips it open easily despite it being obviously nailed shut. Reaching in he pulls up a handful of condoms. He doesn’t notice the note.]

[Kara laughs. Not like a ha-ha-funny laugh but she's really taken off guard.] Um. Well that's… useful? I guess? How good a bartender are you?

If I’m this good I need a raise.

[Kara raises her eyebrows and notices something distinctly not-condom-like fall from the crate and goes to pick it up]

What’s that?

[She takes a moment to read it for herself before reading it aloud with a skeptical voice] "Mon-El and Natasha had sex."

[Mon-El’s eyes widen, but before he can reply the video cuts out. You’ll have to call in for the details.]

(OOC: Part of the Rumors event. | Mon-El | Kara | Both will respond and also possibly Natasha.)

I'm not sure that makes me feel better. [Since she'd have regret and they'd be apart. Unless she turned regret into getting back together. Okay, that wouldn't be so bad.] Not that we're apart. We're just not together physically. Because...time.

And during that time? She'll be in good hands. [ ... ] I promise to hold her hair and everything.

I didn't realize you two were so close too. I guess I unknowingly made friends with her friends. [And played a little too friendly with one of them.]

Her hair? [Is that the part of a person we hold now?]

We're drinking. [ as though that's all the explanation needed. ] It's a sleep-over. We're the kind of friends who have sleep-overs. Paint nails, gossip, talk about -- y'know -- boys.

[ just enough to let mon-el know he's a subject that's cropped up from time to time. ]

So, scary, scary friends. Just remember that you like me when my name comes up?

It already has. [ multiple times, through different memory regains. ] Don't fret, buddy. I've never said anything to her I wouldn't equally say to your face.

[ so mostly good things. ]

Was that supposed to make me feel better? [Trying to tease. It does make him feel better though.]

I mean, I might hafta tell her you'd totally take advantage of an augment glitch to try and win a dart game. You know, had I not valiantly stood my ground.

Pretty damning, that.

Hey, I saved your drink first. And you have an unfair advantage over darts usually what with being better at it and having training and experience.

So. What you're saying is that you're an opportunist who also likes to keep score of his good deeds.

[ SHE'S TEASING. well, she's not teasing. but she means no ill-will by so blatantly twisting his words. ]

I feel like using my words against me is cheating.

Are you calling me a cheater, now?

[ thank your lucky stars she's (mostly) on your side, dude. ]

No, it's a bad connection. I was complimenting you on your hair.

Attaboy.

[He smiles but it fades because the reality of the situation is still there.] Watch out for her? I know she was pretty upset.

[ kate turns serious -- nodding into the camera. ]

Of course. That's why she's coming over.

[ so she can watch out for her. hawkeye's honour. ]

Thanks, Kate.

And for the record. I would never want to hurt her.

I get that.

[ then, coolly: ] For what it's worth, you're not the first guy I know -- personally -- who's fallen into Romanoff's web. And I doubt you're gonna be the last.

She didn't do anything wrong. [There was definitely some seducing. He was already pretty into Kara even if it wasn't returned, but he made his choice to go with it. And they had both been single at the time.]

Never meant to say she did. [ kate doesn't play that way. ] Just -- she's an Avenger who has a way of getting what she wants. I don't even wanna tell you how fast I crumbled and she was just trying to pry an address outta me.

I thought you were about to tell me you and she were together once.

...Unless you are.

Nope. I am the one token straight from the last Young Avengers roster. [ sorta. maybe. it's complicated. ] I can't speak for the other Hawkeye, though. He and the Widow got mad history.

And straight in this case means you only like men?

Yeah. That's the way I swing.

[ although america chavez might disagree. ]

That's fair. [Story time?]
