@danversiism -> [ continued ]

There is something to be said about the other side of the fence. Parts of it he will grumble about because he's Clint and he needs something to run his mouth over, complain about. There was good to this side of the fence, now he wouldn't say it had miracles or the secrets to a happy, good life. Well, it has some. It made some people in his life make more sense.

Clint knows that he has to get better at the talking bit, that's a thing about this side of the fence. It's a lot of talking, or at least for him if he wanted it to stick. Therapy, friends, and allies. Talk to them, that had made Kate happy with him. Others too. Talking about IT, the thing that he's now in an exclusive must-wreck-your-life-first club with Carol.

They knew about each other, the thing, and than better yet they know each other. It's the second more emphasized KNOW each other, that mattered to him right now. ❝ Believe it or not, I think I'm running out of jokes for that. ❞ He laughs, and then start to heave a sigh. Ahw shit, heavy topic.

❝ C'mon, Cap, you're better than that. ⸻ but if he's at his girlfriend's place, well, I've been banned from showing up. ❞ And he's not poking either of those bears. Still, Carol's not a last resort or a next best thing. Sure, he could talk to Leonard like he would and he might, but well, Sparkle's in town.

❝ Carol, my. . . . my sobriety still feels fresh to me ⸻ did I tell you, or hear through the grape vine? ❞ His story wasn't like the flashier flyers, papers didn't write about the scent of booze. Although donning an old mask, engaging in guerilla warfare and tack on a bunch of criminal offenses. Oh, and waring an old Hawkeye suit to a rob a bank. Point made, and he's definitely stalling himself with what to say.

There's the urge, and it's here today. It's strong, but the cause has been bubbling over for years. ❝ You're better person to talk to with what's got me antsy, it's. . . . y'know, I am forty-four, oh that hurt to say, and I've been doing the purple tights hero act for. . . since my early twenties ❞ Or tried to until a certain Russian Spy got in the way, but he got to the Avengers eventually.

He takes another inhale, than let the breath out slow. See, Carol's a much better companion, she'll give the finer details of their lives. ❝ Just been thinking about what it all means, what it's worth ⸺ superheroes. ❞ HER. THEM. HIM.

The Carters were an example of a good family, who to the Carter children their parents were only oddballs and the worst at the table was philosophical and academic debates; that conversations were bound to be long winded. ❝ Oh, I know about that, and I'd have to agree with him. ❞ She's proud of her father, of the footsteps that she followed in.

There's room for argument that as the eldest daughter of two brilliant people that there was a certain pressure on her shoulder, and there was. Carol's not wrong there, and she nods her head along offers the woman a smile when she apologizes. ❝ It can be, there was a time here I had a hard time with feeling like enough with what I was doing, there's no overstepping here. ❞

The speculation doesn't hurt, and overall Linda knows she's led her own life, successful career, and most part part brushed the chip off her shoulder and knows she's enough, done enough. It is, she is. Her smile remains as they talk about Tag, ❝ Oh, he's happy, that of which he assures me plenty. ❞ Tag was fulfilled in his life and that's all she as his older sister could wish for him.

Linda's a good people doctor, picking up on people and there's already few moments in this conversation to pick up on beyond the obvious; to contrast her to Carol, and Linda's always known she's lucked out with her family. She wouldn't mind trade it, and she's quiet, not interrupting as Carol talks about her family.

It doesn't sound pathetic at all what Carol had to say, who she identified as her family. Going from the Solace to the Enterprise, she found the same comradery formed on this new ship, folks who found family through their crewmates. It's touching, and naturing of living with who you work with, of daily people. There's people there that she'll miss, wondering who wanted to stay on if the Solace went up again or who went to other ships like her.

She makes a soft hum, then shakes her head. ❝ Not pathetic at all, I can see that you are three, a lot of you, are a family now. ❞ It was humanizing as well, and Linda wouldn't find this to not be fun. She takes a sip of her drink, ❝ I don't know about you, but I'm enjoying myself. ❞ Downer topics came up, it happens, and Linda lets them slide. Takes the cues from Carol and moves on.

❝ I'll clink my glass to that, we're badass. ❞ She raises her glass in a gesture, giving Carol that out and moving on to other topics. Relief from the family topic and onto a lighter topic, still related to family. ❝ I'll say that is a mouthful, but we make our names or reject them ⸻ so, tell me something you think I wouldn't know about you or any of y- our friends; most of you went to the academy together, anything at all? ❞ Linda had been the newcomer, the outsider, and so she figures that may be a good jump on topics. Talk about the family Carol did love and have.

HER SMILE WIDENS; SHE TWIRLS the contents of her drink rather absentmindedly without even taking a sip, only to set the glass back down. ❛   i've heard about your parents.   ❜ who hasn't ? ❛   Jim's a big fan of your dad, which i am sure you already know. sometimes he gets excited & tells me all sorts of things.   ❜ the captain is a bit of a nerd ( & she loves him for it ). ❛   i'm sure it's rough to grow up with famous & brilliant parents. almost like you are living under their SHADOW. not that you are. you have a very successful career of your own.   ❜ a shake of her head. ❛   sorry, sometimes i should not open my mouth. i hope i'm not overstepping here.   ❜

Carol nods. her gaze is on Linda, watching her expression soften when she speaks of her brother. it makes her chest ache a bit as she thinks of Steven. however, she pushes through it. ❛   all that matters is that he's happy with his career. not everyone has that . . . sense of fulfilment.   ❜ she's clearly feeling a certain type of way today.

❛   it was a long time ago, but thank you. plus, that's life.   ❜ she smiles at the doctor sincerely but with a touch of melancholy. ❛   both my parents are dead. it is going to sound pathetic . . .  Jim & Leonard are MY FAMILY. the rest of the crew, as well. ❜ she sure knows how to dampen a conversation, huh ? ❛   i promise, i'm usually more fun than this.   ❜

she has no idea why her parents had decided to name her Jane. honestly, never thought about asking either. ❛   at the risk of sounding biased, Janes are clearly badasses.   ❜ she almost sighs in relief at the lighter topic. ❛   i wish that was my whole name . . . not sure what my parents were thinking when they decided to name me : Carol Susan Jane Danvers. a mouthful, i know.   ❜
