No secret girlfriend I swear.

[And no explanation, apparently.]

1/2

[alsohawkeye]

Well that's something, I guess.

2/2

[alsohawkeye]

fyi my second guess is that you were overcome by a sudden desire to drink all of my blood so I don't know if you're actually doing yourself any favors here.

1/????

[civilwarring]

[Immediately:]

Hahaha what

2/?

[civilwarring]

That's crazy.

3/3

[civilwarring]

I like how you jump from secret girlfriend to blood sucking. That's kind of a big gap there.

1/2

[alsohawkeye]

Yeah, funny how that happened, right? It's almost like when I got home later the network still existed and I could still read. Between the lines, even!

I lied, 2/3

[alsohawkeye]

Look, obviously it's a secret you're keeping and outing people isn't really my thing so if that's what you're worried about, don't be.

3/3

[alsohawkeye]

You should probably be more concerned about what a terrible liar you are.

1/2

[civilwarring]

Look I don't have any idea what you're talking about.

2/2

[civilwarring]

But seriously when I ducked out last month I had a good reason. It's just private.

[La la la plugs ears everything is fine everything is totally fine.]

[alsohawkeye]

[ A pause. Five minutes feels really long sometimes, huh? ]

Alright, I'll just take your word for it. I've been ditched in much dumber ways, believe it or not.

[civilwarring]

I hope it involved someone literally flying away because that's pretty awesomely dumb.

[alsohawkeye]

No flying, which now I'm kinda sad about. Also no literal backflipping, but that's sort of how I remember it anyway. Also a really weird incident with a carriage in central park and a ninja, once.

[civilwarring]

A ninja. Seriously?

[alsohawkeye]

Sort of. It's a long story and I'm still not actually sure why he was trying to be a ninja then. Mid-life crisis maybe.

[civilwarring]

Ouch. That's rough.

I promise this wasn't a ninja kind of deal.

[alsohawkeye]

Oh, the guy wasn't the ninja. That was Clint, my (then-future?) partner. He attacked us and you know what I'm not sure why I'm bothering to explain this, it's a ridiculous story and not even a very good one, which is sad considering it involves a mid-date ninja attack.

So what's up with you these days?

[civilwarring]

Oh you know, the usual.

Spooky ghost ship. Space movies. Working in medical. I like to think I'm really moving up in the world.

1/2

[alsohawkeye]

Really? I mean Boston's no New York but I wouldn't put it down that hard.

Kidding, kidding. Hey, would you want to watch a movie or something? I think I might've stumbled on space Rocky.

2/2

[alsohawkeye]

Don't worry, I promise not to try to kiss you.

[civilwarring]

Sure. Space Rocky sounds great.

(There's still the whole scene with the stairs, right? Please tell me there are Space Stairs.)

[Dodging that other part? Maybe.]

[alsohawkeye]

I haven't watched it yet, but the cover has stairs? that's why I figured it was space Rocky.

Meet in the lounge on 26 in ten?

[ Getting away with it? Maybe. ]

[civilwarring]

Lounge 26 in ten. I'll be there.

[alsohawkeye]

[ Kate beats him there, and Aidan will find her fiddling with whatever sort of spacescreen exists on which to watch spacemovies. She's crouched in front of it tapping at the console when he enters, but he's just in time to hear an, ] Aha! [ And see the opening of Space!Maybe!Rocky appear. Kate eyes the picture with a craned neck for a moment before she pushes to her feet and heads for the couch. ]

I think we're good to go here. Except for popcorn, sadly.
