Family In Our Own Way | Twin Roses, Closed to Wanda
The Twin Roses. In a way, it had grown to be home since he'd been transferred to the ship. Or home enough, what with the plants and with Wanda there. And speaking of Avengers who might be on the ship at the moment, here was Tommy, coming on with a small basket of preserved foods he intended to store in the galley for the next time they ended up in space, which he intended to refill with harvest from the hydroponics units. Of course he wasn't the only Avenger aboard today.

"Wanda," he calls out when he sees a flicker of red, and he starts to limp toward her. It's a lot less pronounced than it has been, but his leg is definitely recovering. "Hey, did Pietro ever find you?"


Nothing Fishy About This | Diner, Closed to Noctis
There was no denying that the diner was doing a lot better than it had been once, long ago. Back when this was all starting. Tommy couldn't help the flash of pride that came along with that, even if he was having other people manage it more than he was these days. But Clarice was off helping in Sh'Ka, and TOmmy couldn't go running long distances for right now, so he just took over her shifts here.

And this afternoon he was working hard at not only preparing for upcoming meals, but working on his latest project of trying to make jars of jelly. He'd gotten jars from the replicator and had to hope that this was going to work.

"Okay," he said, setting aside his berry puree. "What's the next step."


[OOC: If you'd like a closed interaction with Tommy this month, please let me know. Otherwise I've got a handwave comment at the top and you can think about Handwaved CR for the month.]

Hey, he almost liked her fussing. Precisely because she was one of the few here who knew his past, and she clearly cared. Always clearly cared. Like family, but better he guessed. Family like Billy was.

"Cabins? Man, that would be nicer than this. Then you could have proper space and not have to hide out in the hold. But you gotta do what you gotta do."

IF he wanted to rush back to his home, he'd do that. But damn it felt a long way to go.

"I can stay here for a bit."

"We used to even have real beds." Not the most comfortable, at least at first, but it didn't matter. As they'd traveled from planet to planet, acquiring creature comforts to make the cabin she shared with Vision a proper home had become one of Wanda's priorities. There are so many memories here, and when they do reach the galley there's always a small part of Wanda that expects Kitty to suddenly appear with pancakes.

"You just sit here and rest, all right? Tell me if I'm putting something away in the wrong place."

[doubled_speed]

Real beds instead of the bunks? Damn, he really was envious of that. Imagine having his own space, and a real bed, and space to put up the painting Vision did. But yeah, he'd have to live with his converted shop he supposed. And the bunks when he was on the ship.

"I don't care as much where they go, provided they go somewhere and don't fall out. Just trying to make sure we eat real food if we end up in space. I'll have to get Billy to put some on his ship too."

[seeingscarlet]

Well, if he doesn't care then Wanda's just going to put stuff where she's used to it going, and hopefully it will all make sense to everyone else.

"It's good to be prepared, just in case. We never know what's going to happen and...I am grateful for the protein gel but real food is always better."

[doubled_speed]

Nah, it's nice to let someone else do some work. So he just watches her work, considering her point. Yeah, that worked.

"Real food is nice. It's been cool learning to cook."
