WHO: America and Kate
WHAT: They're checking out this door situation
WHERE: That house
WHEN: Saturday morning, 9
RATING: N/a

America was ready to get out of this place, even if it was just temporary, she'd heard others had already gone to investigate the house at the edge of the little village already and come back with little bits and things but no one seemed to have been able to go through and stay, finding a way out through it all. But maybe it would be different for her, it wasn't like everyone else could summon up star portals the way she could, and maybe that was the key.

She showed up outside the house that morning, and waited for Kate and anyone else who might be coming with them, but like she'd told Kate they weren't going to wait around if no one else wanted to try this with them. And as long as Kate was with her that was all that really mattered. Maybe if they found a way out they'd come back for the others.... well not maybe, they would obviously, but they didn't have to wait for everyone else to join them just to try and find a way out of this place.

"Hey!" She waved when she saw Kate approaching, "There she is," She smiled, when she'd first shown up she'd been worried that this place might be the worst thing ever, and sure it wasn't great, but with Kate here it couldn't be all bad. "You ready to see what we find?"

Despite their near-death experience, Kate couldn't help but grin as she and America walked towards their better destiny of coffee. The farther away from the doorway they got, the better she started to feel about things.

Except for one.

"Can you imagine what Billy and Teddy would have done if they were here?" She couldn't help but laugh, shaking her head. "I feel like we would have had to drag them away as they try and ask questions or even preserve one of them!" She laughed again, remembering how she really only knew Lord of the Rings because of those two.

"Is it bad that I wish they were here?" As hopeful as America remained of them finding a way out, Kate had a gut feeling that they were stuck here.

What was one more near-death experience in their line of duty? They've done this often enough that once it was over, when they were sure it was over - it was behind them, and they could laugh and enjoy the rest of their time together. Kate had always been good at that. And America loved that about her.

"Oh god, don't even say it." She said laughing with Kate when she brought up Billy and Teddy, things would have gone a lot differently if they'd been there, they certainly wouldn't be heading for coffee right now, they'd be dragging those two out by the backs of their shirts. "Let's not even think about how differently things would have gone if things were different."

She sighed softly when Kate continued, "I don't think it's terrible." She said after a moment, "I mean, it's not great though, don't get me wrong. But I get what you mean." America didn't want to drag any of their friends into this as much as she would have liked their company.

Kate laughed along with her, picturing the two of them having to push them out the door while those things were still on their tails. "I love those two, but the thought of staying in that area any longer..." She shuddered, shaking her head and holding her hands up. "No thanks!"

She looked over as America sighed, smiling when she realized that she understood where she was coming from. "I just miss them," she said, confiding in her friend. It was easy to get caught up in their adventures and the excitement of being a Young Avengers. But when it came down to it, it was just a group of friends, watching each other's back.

"At least I've got you," she said, the smiling returning to her face. "Don't go disappearing on me, ok?" The thought was enough to turn her stomach, but she didn't know how it worked here. So far everyone who had shown up here didn't seem to go missing, even with the weird Twilight Zone door.

"They don't know what's good for them." America agreed, it was best that it was just the two of them on this run - sure it had been close for a minute there, but they'd handled it. They were good at that.

America nodded, that she understood all too well - sure they'd all kind of gone their own ways after a while, they all had their own lives to deal with. But they were still friends, she could get that Kate missed them, she did too. "Maybe we'll see them again sometime." Hopefully not here, hopefully it'd be when they got out of this and back to their real lives, they could have a party or something, celebrate being back in the real world.

"You've always got me, Princess." America said it teasingly, but she meant it, no matter what no matter where, Kate was the one person she'd always be there for. "I'm not going anywhere." She promised, more serious this time when she spoke, she hadn't meant to end up here, but now that she was, now that she knew Kate was here, well she wasn't going to leave her behind.
