Its been raining for the past week in Nottingham so Will beams with gratitude when he finds a door to the Bar.

After a few moments, he is stretched out on a couch with hot chocolate, soup and his cloak drying by the fire as he feels dry for the first time in days.

(OOC: Mun is here, but might disappear to go play with nieces and family so consider this open until it falls off the page.)

"Maybe they already are if they know. I'll ask her about it."

"Aye, good. Glad ye're doin' well."

"I am... sort of. Billy's getting into the middle of it back home...."

She hugged Will tightly again.

"He's going to be sent to that prison, and I can't even tell him."

"Oh, love. Come 'ere."

He strokes her hair and kisses her forehead.

She clung tighter to him.

"I warned him a little, but couldn't say more. And I wanted to, really did. Just this stupid time stuff, can't risk making things worse, even though I know everything he's been through, and is going to go through. Can't stop it."

"Aye, love, time's a cruel thing. Ye did all ye could."

"There's something else. Told him about the Brand stuff, he needed to know. Know all of it."

"Course 'e did, couldna 'ave been easy."

"No it wasn't. Still isn't. He might ask you about some of it, maybe?" She shrugged, and glanced away. Idly looking at some of the strange objects behind the bar, like the tacked on bra.

"Will say naught. Kate, please talk to me?"

He runs a hand through her hair and down her back to soothe her.

"About what?" She glanced back at Will, though slight relaxing in her frame.

"Somethin's botherin' ye an canna figure it is all."

She sighed, "All of it. Just things with the war, and what's happening now for Billy, it's just bringing it all back."

Kate's blue eyes met Will's green as she added, "Billy asked me that would I want to change it so you weren't hurt. Teddy was tortured... you were even worse.....I didn't want to answer him."

"Oh love, can understand why 'e's askin' but canna change the past just 'ave to keep livin'."

"The problem is it's my past, but his future, you know? Changes things. Even though the last time we tried, it went totally bad."

"Then 'e 'as to learn that, love. Shouldna be blamin' ye for what ye canna do."

"No he shouldn't."

Kate then sighed, but she wasn't sure about mentioning the situation with Billy and Xaldin. It's really Billy's business and Young Avengers business only in that it'll affect Teddy.

Will just gives her another hug and kiss on the neck,

"Want yer own 'ot chocolate?"

"Please, make it a double," She simply said, and her head gently tilted to the side encouragingly.

He finds a wait rat and orders her one with lots of whipped cream and cherries too before shifting her hair so he can kiss her neck again,

"Will get through this all."

"I know. Eventually." There was a happy sigh from his kiss though, loving the feel of his warm breath and lips against her skin.

"Till then can just soak the couch."

She blinked, "What?"

"I'm still a bit wet, love."

He helpfully shakes his hair.

She held up her hands to shield against the water, "Aagh, Will, you can dry off upstairs too you know? Get out of your wet clothes then."
