(no subject)

I'll take a few.

Chewie's eyin' 'em somet'in' fierce...

ME

Flavor preference?

Lucky for her I bought her some cat treats.

I'm not surprised. I got a lot of different kinds, so help yourself.

Chocolate, maybe?

Thanks Ms.Danvers. They're pretty and they look good!

Shaped like cupcakes?

No, shaped like little fish. I don't think cats are supposed to have frosting.

I agree. They're from my favorite bakery in Midtown.

[She's really not going to hesitate, taking a bite from one with sprinkles and bright colours]

mmmhph? Which bakery?

They're really good, by the way.

Good choice. [She pulls out two chocolate ones and hands them to him.]

Ha! I beat you t'ere, den! I got some shaped like cupcakes, but de frosting's jus' part of de treat. I'm gonna be her favorite person of de day!

Are you trying to turn my cat against me?

Magnolia. I love them. Spots all over town.

[Carol is going to grab one for herself and peel off the paper.]

Me?? Non!! I jus' want her to choose my lap every once and awhile. [winks]

Ah. Well, if that's the goal, you are well on your way. She does curl up on your half of the bed these days.

Well, you know me. I can't help but seduce bot' lovely ladies under dis roof.

As long as I am your number one human and she is your number one cat, I'll try not to get jealous.

You're my number one anyt'in, Care.

Likewise, mon cher. Likewise. And you know how much I love being number one.

So you still consider yourself human? [curious] Even wit' de Kree overwrite?

[Hmmm. She's never really sat down and thought about it.] Yes, more or less. I mean, a meta-human. But I started human, I live here. I like to think that my Kree DNA unlocked the full potential of my human DNA.

*He grins.* These look tasty. *And he starts eating.*

One more?

Yeah, sure. [She hands him another.]

Thank you. They're quite good.

Right? Magnolia is the best. I'm glad you like them.

A friend of yours?

Oh no, just my favorite cupcake shop.

Eh, close enough.

I guess. Well, I'm glad that you enjoyed them.

We should do this again some time.

Uh, sure. I am always up for cupcakes.

Oh good.

Well, it's what's on de inside dat counts, non? An' Carol Danvers, she's all human. An' of course, you still look it. So unless de Kree look human too...

Not usually. They are usually blue and you can pick them out quite easily. What matters is that I have someone who loves me no matter what I classify myself as.

[Innocent look] Really?? Who's dat???

Well Chewie, of course. I just have to keep feeding her and she loves me.

Ha! [laughs]

Well, I t'ink I win, den. Cause feed me or not, I'm gonna love you.

I think you've been better about feeding me, honestly. But I would love you no matter what.

No matter what, you say? Even if I...do dis?? [tickles her mercilessly, Captain Marvel's greatest weakness!]

[Which gets Carol squirming and laughing. Damn you, Gambit! Right for the kill shot!]

Ugh, you are a handsome evil genius!

Your most nefarious villain!! Lays you flat, every time!

[Carol is attempting to get him back, but that's not working out so well.]

My ultimate weakness!

No villain's ever gotten you out of your suit or dazed you quite as well as dis Cajun, non.

An' I'm not ticklish! Ha! [maybe a lie, but he's too agile for her to find out!]

They haven't. And you can't tell them my weakness! This is between you and me, handsome.

[It gets to the point where Carol just curls into a ball on the couch and is just not moving. She can't fight back.]

Course it is. Because I'm de real weakness. [beams and shifts to petting her] Love you, ma petite.

You are. [She uncurls a little as the tickling subsides.] But you give me a lot of strength, too. I love you.
