[Sigh.] Winter means no ice cream.

Says who?!

Okay, let me qualify. Winter means no good ice cream that you can buy from vendors in the park. They've all packed up for the season.

That's True.

...There's still Yogen Früz at the mall though?

Which is okay in a pinch. But as the only option over the winter? It's rough.

Well it is winter.

It kills everything good.

Just for a little while. But spring always comes back at least. We've got something to look forward to.

It's summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

If I didn't need to be based in New York for work, I think I'd relocate for the season.

You make a good point. Are you always so optimistic?

Actually no. I'm usually the person moaning about doom and gloom.

It must be the ice cream.

Well, you can fly, can't you? In... more ways than I can, I mean. [Her smirk is waaaaaaaay too much like Helen's. Just... younger.]

Must be. Ice cream can change people that way.

[Whoa, yeah it is. Carol blinks a time or two, but shakes her head to focus.]

Well, sure. But the minute I arrive in South America, that's when Hydra strikes and I just have to turn around.

I'd say so.

Well, you can always learn to make your own ice cream then. [Still with the cocky-pilot-smirk] They make attachments for stand mixers now.

I'd have to get a stand mixer. Still, probably worth it.

So what do you fly?

Mostly now, it's a Cessna Citation X that's been... well. Let's just say someone's done a hell of a lot to her. We call her the Aerie One.

As for before that... [insert long babble about the various planes the Blackhawks flew throughout the war and for the little time afterwards Zinda was with them, hunting war criminals, before the whole time travel thing that brought her to the modern age. Mostly planes the military had no use for that they took apart and patched together, or older pre-WW2 models. Or things barely holding together. The planes themselves weren't all that impressive. Somehow, they still survived despite being outnumbered five-to-one on a good day.]

I've flown a couple of those. My favorite's the F15, though I do love the Quintet quite a bit.

But I'm really impressed with your flight record.
