WHO: Clint Barton (616) and Kate Bishop
WHAT: Exploring the house.
WHERE: Alternate dimension, ending up in weird France?
WHEN: Feb 25, their time.
RATING: Low

Alright. While Captain America’s method of feeding everyone was good — great even — Clint kinda figured if they were gonna stay here he probably ought to have been helping as well. Waiting around for live animals while sitting in the trees with his bow and arrow wasn’t his idea of a great time though, and he’d gotten bored well before anything had shown up.

So now he was snooping around a bit more, waiting to uncover something good, or important or — whatever. Something. That Kate was by his side only made it better though, because at least now he could prove that he’d done more than sleep today and also he had someone to complain with.

“I dunno,” he was saying, thoughtfully. “The woods don’t go all that far out and then everything kinda just — stops? Does that make sense? Like, you can’t go further after a certain point. Everything just kinda loops around again and you’re back where you started. And that wasn’t just me getting lost, you know I don’t do stuff like that. Usually.” He paused, fingers fiddling with the string of his bow. “Hey, have we gone in that house yet?” It was at the edge of everything and didn’t look particularly inhabited. How hadn’t he noticed it before?

"Just one more cup," she said, her feet dragging in a sort of upset. They hadn't really learned anything useful here and Kate's mind seemed to be more focused on her caffeine intake than strategically looking for things they could take back with them. "Two more cups and I guess we should head back and look for the door." She finally remembered that it had closed and she stopped for a moment, watching as Clint walked ahead of her. "Uh...which, by the way, I may have kinda sorta forgotten to tell you, but when you were telling me to leave the door open? It kinda sorta shut by itself." It was the truth, but it didn't help that she was telling him so late in the game.

"But! I'll buy you THREE cups of coffee! If...you have that much I can borrow!" She gave him a pleading look. "I'll pay you back when we get back to the town!"

Clint paused and looked over at her, sort of aghast. "You closed it? You weren't supposed to close it. We don't know if it opens again. We could be stuck here. In fake France!"

Mind, they'd have a lot of coffee, but that didn't seem like the biggest selling point because they weren't supposed to be here.

Okay. He took a deep breath. They'd just have to hope it'd open. Until then they could think about... about coffee.

And maybe, just maybe, the onset of panic made him a little reckless. "What if," he said slowly, "What if we took the coffee with us?"

	She held her hands up in surrender. "I swear I didn't close it! You were just telling me to keep it open when it shut on itself!" She kept one hand up and crossed her heart with the other. "Promise!" She wasn't really worried; she was sure they would figure something out! Eventually. "What? Like...order it to go?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, Clint kind of figured she should be a little worried about it at least. He wasn't sure he wanted to have to get a job or an apartment in fake france. If you lived in fake France but were obviously American did you have to go get a fake visa? It was all very complicated. Clint didn't want to deal with it.

He instead considered the cafe instead and through the window the espresso machine behind the counter. "No," he said slowly. "Like. Just having it. Machine and all."

Whoa. That was a new idea. They had just made it back to the cafe and she glanced at the machine then back at Clint. "What, like...steal it?" she whispered, her mind running through all the scenarios. Yes, they'd have their own coffee in the weird little town. Wait, would they? Did they have the hook up for that? Just some water, there's the well you know. Right. Ok. So now for the most important question.

"How are we going to take it?" And more importantly, wouldn't they need a few things? Beans, cups?

"Sure," Clint said, a little surprised at his own moral compass just about now. "But like, in a robin hood way. They have more than one and we have none. We're practically just...giving to the poor." They could figure out the way to get it working eventually. They had two Tony Starks living in Starklandia. If no one figured out hot running water soon, it'd be a complete travesty.

"Okay," he said after a moment's thought. "Here's the plan--"

He outlined it. It had to do with Kate distracting, Clint grabbing and then the two of them running with a very heavy thing as quickly as they could.

Simple, but effective.
