[It was probably another mistake, bringing Clint into this. Because while Kate knows Loki won't hold it against her, she's trying to prove to him - and even herself - that he's not as bad as the world believes him to be.]
Well, jokes on you and Clint and my mom. Because I actually don't need anybody's influence to be a mess.
[Maybe in her mom's and Clint's eyes a little of a disappointment, even. How could they understand she- She enjoys hanging with Loki of all people?]
Well, maybe you just need to be a little more patient with Thor and his plans. Strategy sometimes takes time. You can't just come up with the perfect plan at the first go! And better keep your bag of nickels to yourself.
[See? This is it. The guy is openly saying he doesn't wanna do this, but he's making an effort. Just because she asked. Kate re-reads his last text a couple of times, the flutter in her chest something she is only starting to actually acknowledge.]
Good. Because I wanna hang out with your more and I'm not gonna hide it to keep my mom from texting me while she freaks out.
Thanks for setting this up! <3
