"Hey, Lina, you think you could sneak me as your date to meet her?" Chase asked sitting up a little more. He wasn't really a fan of Dazzler's music as he was of Dazzler herself. These things used to bother Gert a lot and sometimes they still did. She said nothing though and drank some more of her orange juice as Chase attempted to lobby Karolina into letting him tag along with her. The only problem Gert might have would be if suddenly Chase was texting the musical starlet regularly. But she knew Chase, she trusted him.
Karolina went on to talk about work, and Gert snickered, "Wouldn't be the first time that Fury's done that. I think he does it to amuse himself." Fury wasn't always so domineering but he often expected results and answers and applied pressure when he wasn't getting any or enough. Gert could see the point that Brand had though and that while it felt like Earth had a lot to deal with, and they did, the rest of the universe didn't stop for them because one important person died.
"Do we have to worry about a crazy eight-armed humanoid pointing a death ray at earth?" Gert asked.
