WHO: HEINE RAMMSTEINER and KATE KANE (Nill can tag in, too.)
WHERE: Kate's apartment
WHEN: late afternoon of 2/29
WARNINGS: brb
SUMMARY: Finally out of the hospital, it's time for Kate to meet Nill's friend from home.
FORMAT: non


Kate had hailed a cab from the hospital and gone straight back to the apartment. After tipping the driver, she let him keep the change as well, and headed into her building. She didn't have her keys on her (or a coat, no thanks to being dragged out of her place in the middle of the night). She also didn't have her cell phone or communicator to ring up Nill and tell her she was on the way back.

She can only hope Nill is home, or her friend from her world. She felt somewhat uncomfortable having a total stranger -- from her point of view -- in her place, and after the situation with the Skrulls.

She knocks on the door to the apartment.

Comments

[gevurah]

She can always count on Nill to smile, no matter happens to her. It relaxes her, though only slightly; it's hard to shake the images of Dick tending to Nill aboard the ship.

"Hey. How are you feeling?"

[culver]

She shrugs, still smiling. Kate didn't seem to be letting her injuries bother her, so she'll try to act as if it doesn't bother her either. It would, of course, but she'd try to hide it. She caught sight of Heine behind Kate, and went on tip-toe to look at him. She smiled and gave a wave.

Sitting where he is, he goes to face her when she walks up. "Hey." His voice is exponentially gentler when he talks to Nill.

[gevurah]

There's a lot left unsaid, but Kate concludes it's best for the time being.

"I'm going to shower. Have you eaten yet? I can order Chinese." She didn't feel like cooking tonight, especially now that they are three people for the moment.

[culver]

Nill nodded, bringing her eyes back to Kate. She'd definitely ask to talk about it later. It may have seemed mean, but she hoped it was just the skurlls. She hoped Kate hadn't gone out and been hurt even more. She was still settling in after being abducted, and was jumpy at most everything. Knowing Kate had somehow gotten hurt again... she didn't know if she'd be able to go out alone for a while.
