hawkeyekateBack in Secret Avengers Headquarters where everybody was getting medical attention. Kate's injuries were mainly various shallow cuts and bruises, and very grateful for Guppy's first aid kit with her at the time. Also, there was a deeper slice she took to one of her cheeks and that needed a bandage to hold it closed. Plus one of the rocks had hit her head, causing some bleeding there. She now was in the main area with a bandage wrapped around her head as well, and assisting Jane with Cap's injuries. Mostly since her own injuries were light in comparison, and all hands were needed to help since hardly anyone there didn't need some form of medical attention.
He was currently arguing Cable and Nighthawk about appealing for amnesty, while she yelled at him to hold still so they could finish treating him. It was hard to see the goodness about either side when half their people, including Wiccan were now locked in the SHIELD penitentiary building, even with any who turns to their side now.
Then Nighthawk was turning away to leave, along with a few others. Including Stature.
"Cassie?" Kate tried to call her back, and her friend turned back with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Kate. But I don't want to end up in this super-jail like Wiccan. I want to fight villains, not cops and superheroes." Kate tried to reach out to touch her shoulder, trying to keep her from leaving. But Cassie just glumly glanced away again without another word to follow the others out.
Kate could barely hear Cap's words after that, and Eli came over to stand by her.
"Thinking of going after her?" He quietly asked, and she shook her head.
"I can't. You know that, I don't understand how she could do that. I thought we were all united on this."
"Yeah, come on, we're going to have to move out in about two hours to the new base. Thinking of heading back to that space bar, and your uh, boyfriend?" Eyeing her as she fiddled with the cross necklace hidden under the white scarf of her uniform.
"In a little while, sure. Could use some fresh air. Wish you guys could see the place sometime."
"Yeah... look, Kate, tell the guy, Will, sorry for punching him. Should have known better. I was..."
"Jealous?" She finished with a knowing expression, her eyebrows arched towards him.
"Yeah... a little," He admitted.
She remarked, "I noticed. It happened so quick before either of us fully realized it. He's a lot like you, you know? Wants to be strong and good, only can't always see it in himself. Also both of you are stubborn and on extremely short fuses..."
"Ok, I get the point. He won, I lost," Eli paused to collect his thoughts, and then added, "...Though if he ever changes his mind about you, I'm giving him a few more punches."
Bitter laugh since she was amused, but just bitter about the war, and how it was turning out. She then replied, "Got the feeling that's not likely to happen. Not for a long time."
"Yeah, well, or if you ever change your mind...?" Small smile at her.
"You'll be the first to know. I should go."
He rubbed the back of his bald head thoughtfully, "Yeah me too. Rest up for the next match. Talk to you later, Kate."
