It wasn't exactly hard work running the clothing shop. The hardest part was the sorting and keeping track of inventory. But she had Q-Tee and Bev to help her and that made everything that wasn't really even that hard a lot easier. She'd fallen a little bit behind in the stocking of things while being tethered to Bill. While one might think it'd be easy to go out looking for clothes with another set of hands, well, it wasn't. But now that she was free she'd gone looking and come back with a decent haul.

It felt good to be busy again. Gwen went through phases of wanting to be lazy and wanting to be doing a million things at once. She was sort of in between both of those moods at the moment so she was slowly, but efficiently, separating men's and women's clothing she'd brought back. Q-Tee was folding socks, and Gwen was keeping an eye on her to make sure she wasn't mismatching them. Sirius' boyfriend Remus mismatched his, she knew, but that wasn't everyone's thing. She had her earbuds in and was listening to, amazingly enough, her band's own song while dancing around her bot. "You gotta face it tiger, face it tiger, it's your last shot," she sang as she spun around Q-Tee and hung up a hoodie on a hanger.

"I'm not the greatest at it unless it's Halloween themed," she said, though he wouldn't get the joke. "Ah, long story. Cliff notes version is my alter ego is Spider-Woman and I can shoot spider webs at things. So, you know, super helpful for spooky season."

When he asked about inventory, she waved her hand and shook her head. "Nah, not really. I mean, kind of? I'm here everyday so I keep an eye on what we need. Usually people just throw out suggestions or ask if there's something specific if it's not here. Like, if you're a yoga pants kind of guy? Lemme know." She smirked a bit. "Is there anything else you need? I'm not the welcoming committee but I can help if you've got questions. One of my dads usually meets up with the newbies and gives them the run down."

Spider...Woman? Yeah, Dan was lost at 'shoot spider webs at things,' but he figured Abra would probably know what that meant. And would roll her eyes at old (actual, literally old) Uncle Dan for not knowing shit. "That's...interesting," was what he came up with. "You'll have to show me sometime. I mean, if it's something you're comfortable doing."

He also assumed Gwen meant that one of her dads was Steve Rogers, and Dan recalled him being the welcoming committee. Of course, he'd been dropped into town during some kind of tethering fiasco and everything was the exact opposite of welcoming, but he couldn't blame anyone for that. It was just bad timing all around. "I think I'm good," he promised. "Thanks for your help with all the fashion, Gwen."

Hey, now he had actual clothes and didn't have to wear the same three outfits day in and day out. Dan counted that as a win in his book.
