kate.

why does it look like you have my dog?

[notthatstraight]

if by your dog you mean Lucky
then yes
I do have him

[westcoasts]

there isn't any other dog i'd mean.
so
why do you have my dog?

[notthatstraight]

I'd mentioned him the other day
and now he's here

[westcoasts]

( on the one hand, kinda cool. on the other— )

you still don't think that's kinda weird at all?
not that i'm unhappy about getting to see my dog.

[notthatstraight]

since I've been here I've found:
Cap's shield along with a few other items belonging to others here
the clubhouse
and now Lucky

it's extremely weird given Hawkeye luck

[westcoasts]

( oh, that explains bucky's comment, maybe—. )

you keep the shield or give it to bucky?

[notthatstraight]

Bucky was the only one of them here at the time, so I gave it to him

[westcoasts]

and to think he made a big deal out of it to me about how he's never carried the shield.

( PAH! )

[notthatstraight]

this version hasn't
maybe in the future but not where he is now

[westcoasts]

maybe.

but back to more important matters
where are you keeping my dog?

[notthatstraight]

if he wanted to find you
he would
but he's at the clubhouse

[westcoasts]

i bet you haven't even told him i'm here

[notthatstraight]

I told him
you know how good his nose is
you can come by and see if he leaves

[westcoasts]

( pah! THE SECOND )

wow, kate, thanks for allowing me to drop by to see my own dog.

( —their dog. )

what're you planning on doing with him with this labyrinth stuff?

[notthatstraight]

no problem!

he's coming with me of course
I'm not leaving him with some stranger

[westcoasts]

if that's even actually what happens to any pets left behind.

[notthatstraight]

exactly
it would be different if it was someone I know
and even if he can take care of himself just fine
he'd be better off with me

[westcoasts]

better off with one of us, anyway.

( it doesn't... have... to be kate... )

[notthatstraight]

Clint you can barely take care of yourself

[westcoasts]

( excuse. )

lucky was doing just fine with me before.

[notthatstraight]

[Was he though?]

we're about to go into a maze with wild animals and traps
who is more likely to need a rescue?
besides do you really think I'm letting you go in there on your own
or leave Bobbi to deal with you alone?

[westcoasts]

i'm not dignifying that question with an answer.

are you going to tell bobbi you don't think she can handle me, or should i?
she likes you.

...likeD you.

[notthatstraight]

it's not a case of can she
but should she be forced to

[westcoasts]

you say that like the woman didn't choose to marry me once upon a time
