Well, that night was far more exciting than any other I've spent on this ship. Any chances of making it a weekly occurrence? I think we could all stand to be kept on our toes, given the ship's unpredictability.



Your double was at fight club. Do you want any details?



I was wondering if we could talk, if you've got a few moments.

I do. What do you want to talk about?

I was just wondering what you'd been informed about, regarding my assignment to Stark Industries. I assume you and Tony discussed it?

[ms_pepperpotts]

You were Legal and then became my assistant after my promotion. I was too busy otherwise to really question how you came to Stark Industries.

i was there just...not paying attention to him. so lay it on me.

his fighting methods are interesting. he's skilled, tends to fight dirty, but is capable of causing real damage.

he won't unless he wants to though, right? i didn't watch his fight but he strikes me as the type to do that. don't expend extra energy and all that.

no. he seemed more interested in fighting as an experiment, for lack of a better term.

The fight club? It was pretty fun. What I saw of it, anyway. I didn't want to bother anyone.

[widowing]

Pick up any tricks?

[ Chase smiles, completely avoiding the question. ]

You were really good though!

[ video ]

[widowing]

[ well she was mostly kidding, but it's not as if the idea of someone chase's age picking up tips on how to fight people is unusual to her. she knows when a subject is being dropped, though, and so she moves on: ]

Thank you. I was in need of the practice.

[the_vishual]

You're very graceful. You glide through the air when you flip, it's really nice to see!

[widowing]

[ she smiles at the praise, though it's a small one. her style of fighting stems largely from her training as a ballerina; it helps her avoid punches, kicks, and bullets and get the drop on her opponent when they're too busy trying to figure out where she's going. ]

I imagine it would be. I don't typically fight for an audience, though.

[the_vishual]

No. Your movements are too calculated, and the things that were brought with you on the ship suggest otherwise.

[ She was there when they both woke up, remember? She smiles. ]

You're much too good to fight just for show.

[ video ]

[widowing]

[ she does, and good on chase for remembering. ]

But I put on a good one?

[ this is joking, as much as natasha ever does. ]

[ video ]

[the_vishual]

Well, I would rather not fight you, if given the chance.

[ video ]

[widowing]

Smart girl.

How are you doing, events on the ship aside?

[ video ]

[the_vishual]

[ Chase blinks, confused. She's never had someone really ask her that before. ]

What?
