Who: Kate Bishop & Tommy Shepherd
Where: St. Thomas Soup Kitchen
When: June 8; 1PM [backdated]
What: Kate lets Tommy collect his promised date.
Rating: PG.
Kate hadn't thought very far out when she'd originally decided to bribe Tommy into the group with the date. He seemed interested, and she'd taken a gamble. The gamble had worked and he would have to give the team in progress a fair chance. When he asked her what she'd like to do, she'd completely drawn a blank. Luckily, a few days later, she shot him a text to meet her at this very location around 11:30. And he'd shown up just in time.
The look on his face had spoken volumes, but he asked what she'd like to do, not the other way around. There were a lot of ways to check a man's character. This wasn't about putting distance between them. This wasn't even about seeing if he'd put up with crap to hang out with her. This was about seeing what kind of a guy he was. He'd helped people selflessly on prom night, but that was flashy. Serving food to those less fortunate took patience, and while some people were more than grateful, there were those in the line that would complain about the selection. Others would just look really depressed. It was completely different type of help.
She greeted some of the people who frequented and knew her by name. It was obvious that this was something she did quite a bit and wasn't just for show. They'd been there for two and a half hours, still serving people who were coming in. Kate could have easily taken a break, but the activity was more relaxing than strenuous to her. She looked around to see how Tommy was doing.
