Most of the way my teams have fallen together have been accidents. [And even then, Kate used to butt heads with Eli on a near regular basis over who was in charge. Originally, she had endorsed his leadership, but Kate has a really hard time sitting and taking orders herself. It's one of her biggest failings as a human being. She's a natural leader, but that can have its downsides.
She even knows that, but given that she has her team, and it's back together after its long sabbatical? She's not going to complain. Not one bit.]
So, we're going to work on it. It won't always be easy. But I'll do my best to remember how you'll take things. That you'll probably bristle first. [She'll have to learn, too. After all, half the success of the big Avengers team is the management of all the different personalities.
Of course, that hasn't always worked out. But she wants it to. As a team, they can help this world. And if there's anything Kate knows, it's that she can't do it herself.]
Convenient accidents. [ they work well together, and seem to have a good amount in common, at least in terms of motivations and goals. and, it seems, sense of humor. not that he's complaining. the road trip, while weird and confusing, was pretty fun. he noted quietly, from the back of the bus. maybe they weren't so cohesive at some point, but they seem so well enough now.
he nods a couple times, affirming. this all still feels awkward, but at least there's an understanding somewhere in there. ]
I'll... do my best not to bristle.
[ thomas flashes a small, tight smile. this Having A Life thing, with People. it's not too bad. ]
Or at least do it at the important stuff. [Kate thinks grasping the mythological bent of things is important, but also a matter of fact. That she has to explain it to someone is still so ... strange to her. Sure, not everyone knows about Hercules or Loki or anything, but it's one thing about coming here that she hasn't fully acclimated to.]
Got it. [ he nods, agreeomg. granted, his idea of important stuff may not always be the same, but he can try to keep his mouth shut, or at least, have more tact about things. ]
