Who: America & Kate
What: GIFTS
When: This evening
Where: Kate's place
Rating: Low?

Kate had just been laying in her bed, staring up at the ceiling. She had done some time at COFFEE, even staying behind to hang out with Clint a little bit before he tossed her out because she was drinking more coffee than anything else. She had gone back to her room, thinking she'd take a nap before heading out to try and find America or Billy. Even Loki...she hadn't seen him in a while and that usually didn't bode well.

But once she was back in her room, sleep suddenly seemed to elude her and she tossed and turned before she gave up. That was how America found her, her arms hanging off the side of the bed as she stared up at her bare ceiling. She could make out her friend in her peripheral and moaned, throwing an arm over her eyes in a dramatic fashion.

"Do you think it's possible to find a king-sized bed through the doors and bring it back with us? That's totally possible, right?" She lifted her arm to squint over at America, hoping her friend would agree to such a ridiculous idea. Hey, if anyone would be able to do it, it would be the two of them. "We could have sleepovers and then you wouldn't be upset that I smack you in the face all the time!" She grinned, sitting up to actually welcome her in. "What's up? I was just thinking of going to find you in a little bit. Maybe Billy and Loki too." She scooted to the edge of the bed so America could sit next to her. "Have you seen Loki lately? Should we be worried?"

Kate rolled her eyes, bumping her shoulder against America's. "Of course I think you'd be strong enough to carry it, but I didn't want to assume you would." She flopped her hands out on either side of her, but grinned. "Besides, think how fun it would be if we all went! Like we've got the old crew back!" Kate's smile only faltered a little, knowing there were still key players that hadn't arrived yet. At least that's what she told herself...they were just waiting for them now, it wasn't like they'd never see them again...

"Hey!" Kate grabbed her pillow and hit America upside the head with it, laughing as it poofed her hair up. "Four square is a national sport that people compete in competitively!" She wasn't sure if that was actually true, but she wouldn't be surprised if it were. "So, it's a great game to play when you're hanging out with friends and have nothing better to do." She shrugged, it made sense to her. Even if America had a point and she glanced at her friend. "But you won't tell Clint, right?"

Kate hadn't talked to the Thor here and she raised an eyebrow. "Really? I haven't seen him around. Although now that you mention it, I think I remember reading him re-naming the town as well?" Would they ever get over that? "We needed a generic name for this place like...New Town or something. NT for short." She glanced at America and shrugged; better then Starklandia.

"There's very few things I wouldn't carry for you," She reminded her friend, because it was true - because she didn't mind using her abilities for Kate whether or not she assumed. She was probably right about getting the group back together again, they should get the group back together, they were all here after all - well not all, but enough of them that they could consider it something of a reunion. "Yeah we'll have to talk to the boys and see what they think about something like that." It was all just a matter of them finding the time for something like that.

America laughed when Kate hit her with a pillow, "A national sport? Now I know you're just messing with me," America scoffed at the idea of it, at least with something like dodge ball there was agility and aim and running, with four square you just stood there. She didn't believe it for a second. "I think the four of us could find a much better use for a ball if we ever do find one." She told Kate with a grin, and then she laughed shaking her head. "No, don't worry, you give him plenty to work with all on your own without my help."

"Thortopia, I think." She said trying to remember the name she'd seen him using, it was fine if he wanted it - after all it was just a name, America was going to go on using her own name for it, "I think everyone should just keep on using whatever names they like, I don't think we're gonna get the whole group to agree to one thing." Not with all the strong personalities there.

The thought of the four of them stomping through the door together was enough to make Kate smile. It was just like old times, except they didn't have to worry about trying to save the world. They could have an adventure, just to have one, or relax and have a pleasant day on a tropical beach. If only they could be so lucky.

Maybe, one of these days.

"Me? Mess with you?" Kate gave her friend a little shove. "Never!" She pretended to look shocked as if she couldn't believe such an accusation. It soon turned into an eye roll and a heavy sigh, her hands up to concede. "Alright, maybe now and then, but only because I half think it's true too." Kate could only smirk when she thought it, but God bless America. Putting up with her shenanigans and loving her despite them. She snuggled against her shoulder, her arms hugging around one of America's. "You're so good to me," she said, starting to pet her. "What's that?" With the quick topic change, she pointed to the bag America had dropped by the door. She was happy to hear America shrugging off the name thing. Good. Not that she thought she was actually caught up on it, but it was a good sign, nonetheless. This place wasn't ideal, but at least they had each other.

As corny as that sounded.

Snorting when Kate seemed to roll her eyes at the idea of her ever actually messing with America, she just shook her head at her friend. "Yeah well that's what happens when you're my favorite." She reminded her leaning her head against Kate's for just a moment, she'd put up with a lot for her, whether it was carrying heavy things or letting Kate try and convince her that something like Four Square was an actual sport.

"That?" She asked, it was her turn to tease then now that Kate's attention was on the bag she'd brought along with her, "Oh you know, just a couple of things I found through the doors a while back." She grinned without elaborating much more beyond that just yet.

She'd held on to them a little longer than she meant to, but shew was here now and that was the important thing.

"It might be something for you," She said idly, not in a hurry just yet. Maybe she was enjoying being the one to tease just a little bit now that Kate'd had her turn.

My favorite. It was something America said a lot to Kate, but every time she did, she couldn't help but smile. It was true, they had a pretty special bond. While Kate would argue that their whole team was close, she and America had something that she couldn't really place. Not that she needed to. It felt right, so she should just go with it, yeah? Not overthink it. Right. Easy. No problem.

Kate's smile only grew when America teased her that whatever was in the bag might be something for her. She sat up a little straighter, bouncing on the bed. "You got me something? It's not even my birthday!" She poked America in the side, moving to poke her shoulder repeatedly. "What is it? What'd you get? What's inside? Where'd you get it?"

God bless America, indeed.

America swatted at Kate lightly when she started poking at her asking about her possible gifts with the kind of eager surprise America had hoped for when she'd picked them out for her. "Anyone ever tell you that you've got a real problem with patience?" She teased with a grin as she leaned over just far enough to reach the bag she'd brought with her and opened it just wide enough to stick her hand inside.

She kept it drawn closed around her arm so that Kate couldn't peak as she felt around for what she wanted and then pulled out the little jar that she'd found first. "They call it T'Pala paste," She explained, "You rub it into bruises and things and it helps them to heal faster." Of course she'd thought of Kate immediately when she'd found it.

"I know we haven't been able to get you your freezer full of peas just yet, but maybe this can help until we do." She added, they'd still keep an eye out of course, but it was nice to know they had something to help just in case they needed it.

She pretended to look shocked when America challenged her on her patience. "Moi?" She placed a hand over her heart, a small pout forming on her lips. But really, as always, America was right. Kate didn't have the best patience; she was always a go and get 'em kinda girl, not a wait around for something else to happen. And that wasn't necessarily bad, right? At least not all the time. "Alright, alright, so maybe I'm a little, itty bitty, teeny tiny, bit impatient." She snuggled against America just as she reached for the bag. "But it's just another trait for you to love, right?"

Kate tried to peek into the bag as she pulled out the jar and looked at it, turning it over in her hands as she listened to what it did. Aw. America. She turned to look at her friend and glomped her, throwing both arms around her in a tackle hug that flopped them back on the bed. "You're the best," she said, her voice a bit muffled as it was buried in her shoulder. Before she had even talked about the frozen peas, Kate knew that's exactly what she had on her mind when she picked it out for her. Because America was the best and somehow, always thought of her, even when they weren't together.

"You're the best, you know that?" Kate felt like she told America that on a fairly regular basis, but this time around, she really wanted her to know. "This is going to be awesome!" Which it would! The lack of frozen peas was definitely upsetting, but then again, it wasn't like she was falling out of a lot of windows or fighting bad guys on the regular. So it wasn't that bad, but it had become such a staple in her life, it was almost like a security blanket.

"T'Pala paste," she repeated, looking at the jar still in her hand. "I've never heard of it." She glanced at America. "Door world?"

It was true, those things she teased Kate about were just things that she loved about her in the end. She just had to tease sometimes, it was how they were.

America laughed when Kate threw her arms around her suddenly declaring her to be the best for the first gift, she couldn't wait for her to see the second after this. "I hope it'll come in handy sometime."

"Yeah, yeah I went through when they said that the doors were going to space worlds?" She explained. "I ended up in a fight in a desert and Nyx found me and helped me and then we sold the weapons that he gathered up after the fight so I had all this money to spend in the market." And sure maybe she could have found something to spend it on for herself, but like she'd told Nyx, she wasn't really a stuff kind of girl. She hadn't felt like she needed anything there, not even a robot like the one Nyx had gotten for himself in the first trip he'd taken through.

"So yeah, there is this." She turned back to the bag and hoisted it up. "And there is this." She pulled the other gift out of the bag revealing the space bow she'd picked up for Kate.
