Carol was actually excited for once to go through the doors. This wasn't a mission (well, not a real one). The last few times had been one of two things: boring or extremely eventful. And not in a good way. As much as she loved action and danger, nearly getting killed had been enough for her to want to steer clear of it for a while (Unless, of course, she needed to step in to save someone. That was a given.).

She'd shrugged on her jacket, her side now only aching a little and the bruises on her face now fully healed, and headed downstairs to practically drag Peter out, though not without staring at his new pet for a minute curiously. She'd ask questions about it later, of course. Right now, she had her mind set on one thing. People might be disappointed to find Pancho's closed for now, but they could deal with it.

Once through the doors, though, Carol decided it was worth it. A beautiful bright beach with blue water and...things. Everywhere. Cute little animals with large eyes and who made unusual sounds. It wasn't like she hadn't seen things like this before, but not so...varied. Or colorful.

Carol slowly grinned and nodded. "Okay....I see why people are excited about this. But where's the bar?"

Carol was aware she probably looked like a total dork staring at the little guy, but she couldn't help herself. All thoughts of drinks and beautiful women were gone as she crouched there, petting the little guy. Probably not a good idea yet. "I don't know. Maybe?" She didn't want to scare him. Now that he was here, there was definitely the risk of scaring the little guy off.

"Whatcha think? You wanna come with us?" The little creature cooed and Carol looked at Peter before standing up. She almost picked him up but didn't want to necessarily scare him away. There was some hesitancy and she took a step back. Pikachu followed and she looked at Peter before she turned to start walking.

Sure enough, the little guy was following. Carol looked over her shoulder, now smiling that her instinct actually resulted in something. "Kinda reminds me of how I found Goose."

Peter nodded, yeah that was the way to do it - just talk at them like they knew what the humans were saying and maybe it'd all work out. Peter had done it too of course so he was absolutely not bashing the idea. He watched as Carol spoke to it, asking the little guy if he wanted to come back with them and then it actually made a noise that could be agreement. "Okay, that is adorable."

And as they started walking he glanced back to see the little guy following them, amazing, truly. "You found him just like this?" Peter asked doubtfully. He was sure that wasn't exactly what she meant but he could tease a little bit too.

"So I guess our next move should be getting you one of the pokeballs and then we can see where we go from there." Peter suggested, if the little guy was ready to come back with them Peter had a feeling he wouldn't mind the balls either, and it'd make it easier for Carol in the long run to have one too.

"Uh....not exactly" She glanced over her shoulder as the little guy followed along, still grinning a little too much. Okay, this was pretty awesome. She definitely hadn't had this reaction to Goose. "Less intentional. Fury and I were scoping out a military base and he just started following along. He used to belong to a friend." Then her smile turned sad and she shrugged.

"I couldn't shake him after that. Not even if I wanted to. Little guy even snuck on a plane with us."

Pokeball. Right. She looked over at Pikachu who was having a helluva time stumbling after them in the grass. Against her better judgment, she stopped and picked him up, scooping the little creature into her arms and carrying him with ease. He seemed to like it and Carol looked at Peter. "How do you even get a ball?"

Yeah this was going nearly the exact same way that things had gone with Bulbasaur. Peter couldn't help but grin as Carol told him a little bit more about how Goose had come into her life, attaching himself to her regardless of whether or not she wanted it. Goose was sort of part of the scenery these days at Pancho's, enough that Peter didn't really see some sort of weird alien or whatever he was supposed to be - he was just a really chill cat. Sure he gave him his space, but he still just looked like a cat wandering around the place.

"Sounds like you have a way with animals." He teased.

Yeah Carol with her arms full of the little Pikachu was pretty adorable too, Peter wished he could sneak a picture of this. "Uh, luck?" He supplied and shrugged, "I mean I think they have them pretty readily available back in town, maybe we can find someone who has some we can use." They just needed the one after all - Peter already had one and Carol would just need one. So it didn't seem like a huge ask.

Carol rolled her eyes at the comment about being good with animals. "I don't think so. I think I attract them, but that's not the same as being good with something. It's the same thing with kids." She was smirking, though, thinking back to when Monica was a baby. "They just sort of follow me."

"Uh..yeah. I mean, maybe we can trade for it?" Not that she had anything on her person to trade. She looked over at Peter and raised an eyebrow. "How did you get yours, again?"

The little guy didn't seem to mind being carried, and Carol scratched behind its ears as they walked. No one seemed to even notice the two approaching the hotel again, though a few did raise an eyebrow at the sight of someone carrying their pokemon- even if it wasn't completely unheard of.

"Uh I think that's exactly what that means," Peter said with a smirk of his own - just because Carol didn't necessarily think she was good with animals, or even kids, Peter could see with his own eyes that both Goose and now this little Pikachu were all about her, and that was all the proof he needed at the moment to just go right on assuming he was correct.

He shrugged, "Maybe a trade," Though what exactly they'd trade he wasn't sure, "We found a guy, he just gave us one." Peter admitted, "I think he saw we didn't really know what we were doing and took pity on us." Maybe they could pull that off again with this little guy.

By they looks they were getting now they were definitely garnering a little bit of attention, maybe it the way Carol was holding the little guy, but he seemed to like it- and Carol was definitely smitten, so you know Peter wasn't about to stop her. "Maybe we should ask that bartender where we could get one? He seemed pretty helpful earlier." And maybe he'd be impressed enough that Carol had actually found a Pikachu when he'd said there weren't many that he'd just give them one of those balls.

She rolled her eyes and gave Peter a sideways look, but didn't argue. Maybe because he might have had a point, even if she'd deny it anytime it came up. Carol Danvers never saw herself that way- she definitely wasn't the mom type. Was she? No, definitely wasn't going to even think about that.

"Trade what?" Carol made a face but thought about it. "I mean, I can trade you. Think he'd accept that?" She was joking. Sort of. But the bartender was a good idea, at least. She didn't even notice the others looking, because why would it matter? She was happy with how the day was turning out, even if she wasn't going to find some hot girl on the beach.
