Steve McGarrett/H5-0

[bookemdanno]

Steven walks in as he takes a slow look around. This isn't where he wanted to be! He wanted to be at his favorite hole in the wall place for some Loco Moco. With a heavy sigh he sets down at the bar asking Bar for some hoping that it's as good as the islands. (Almost never anywhere off island is the same.)

After getting it he goes to settle in to a booth with coconut water. Come by to bother him or simply ask what is that you're eating?

Carol's just leaving Avengers Tower after a training session with the Black Widow—or trying to leave, anyway—when she finds herself back in that bar from the other day. She grabs a gatorade from Bar then spots a man sitting alone at a nearby booth with an interesting looking plate of food.

"Sorry to bug you, but I just have to ask... what're you eating?"

New York has some pretty varied cuisine, but this doesn't look familiar.

"Mind if I... ?" she asks, gesturing to the empty bench of Steve's booth.

[bookemdanno]

Steve then shakes his head.

"No, go ahead. This is Loco Moco, it's a common breakfast food in Hawaii. It's rice with a hamburger patty brown gravy and a fried egg over it."

[mighty_avenger]

"Well that sounds destined to clog your arteries," Carol says with a smile.

She takes a seat on the bench opposite Steve and waves over a passing waitrat. "I'll have what he's having, please."

"So, Hawaii, huh? You live there?"

[bookemdanno]

Steve laughs. "Yes, something like that but I got up extra early and surfed and swam so I feel they will be okay. This time."

He smiles then.

"Yes, I live in Hawaii, But even after 20 years I still get looked at as an Haole."

[mighty_avenger]

"And I spent the afternoon practicing krav maga, so I guess we've both earned it."

Even when you're a superhero who can fire photonic blasts from you're hands, it's still important to stay fit.

"Sounds like it's not as easy a place to blend in as New York is—that's where I'm living now. I've flown into Hickham a few times, but I never got to see anything off base."

Being and Avenger has many benefits. Plentiful vacation time is not one of them.

[bookemdanno]

"Yeah, I've flown in to there more times then I can count. You should take time next time to really enjoy the views and the sights. Take in surfing or snorkeling."

He then takes a drink.

"Krav maga I'm impressed. And no if you don't have the island look about you you stick out or they think you do."

[mighty_avenger]

"Navy or Air Force?" They're the two most likely culprits for a man who's a frequent flier to and from the airbase.

"I'm teaching one of my colleagues." Because Romanova's not deadly enough without learning another form of martial arts. "And working with her helps me stay sharp. All the training is part of why I haven't had time for a vacation, actually. I'd love to try surfing, though."

She's a bit of an adrenaline junkie, Carol.

[bookemdanno]

Steve then takes a bite as he then looks at her and nods.

"Navy, I'm a SEAL, yeah. I've trained in a little."

The SEAL part he figures explains that.

"Yeah, If your ever in Honolulu then you should look me up, I'm Five-0"

[mighty_avenger]

"I'm Air Force. Retired a few years back, though."

And life has been all peace and quiet since then. Hah!

"I'm Carol Danvers, by the way. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Just then the waitrat returns with Carol's order, and she digs right in. It's a strange combination of foods, to be sure, but it's also kind of delicious.

"Well if your food's as good as this in Honolulu, I'll definitely have to swing by some time. What's Five-0?"

[bookemdanno]

Steve nods slowly. She doesn't look that old to have retired. He keeps that to himself. It's rude to say that.

"I'm Steve McGarrett, Nice to meet you as well."

He nods as he eats more.

"I know I think you should and we have more really good local foods and fresh pineapple."

Henry Spencer's got a swagger in his step and a new Tommy Bahama to celebrate - draft beer in one hand and a plate of chili cheese fries in the other.

He passes the officer's booth, and then catches the familiar scent of rice and gravy and turns toward it. "Hamburger or Spam?"

[bookemdanno]

"Hamburger, I can't stand Spam you know."

[sbpd_papabear]

Henry smirks and invites himself to sit down on the other side, he's had a couple beers and is feeling a little on the friendly side. And hey, the guy started it by having a fantastic dish in front of him.

"When I was in Florida I knew a great couple that lived in Maui half the year and they used to make that stuff all the time - said the locals actually prefer it with Spam but I can't do the pink stuff. Too close to mystery meat for me."

[bookemdanno]

"No one actually knows what is in that can." He is firm on this. And one thing he agrees with Danno on.

"Can I get you an order?" He won't pay, he doesn't realize that later there is no way to wiggle out of the tab...

[sbpd_papabear]

Henry regards the plate with a firm-lipped expression that slowly tilts into a half smile as he digs out a chili-cheese fry from the basket he'd brought with him. "Sure, already sitting on a case of heartburn. Celebrating anyway, who needs a diet."

His smile spreads slightly as he realizes that yeah, he kind of does have a reason to get back in shape... but, she'll never know about an extra trip to the gym.

[bookemdanno]

"Yeah? what you celebrating? You know they make antacids for a reason right?"

Slow smile appears as eh sips his tea.

[sbpd_papabear]

Relaxing into the booth with a slight groan despite his grin, Henry pats the front pocket of his shirt where a fresh roll of Rolaids has made it's home.

"I... am the luckiest man on the planet," he chuckles shoving another heavily chili cheese laden fry into his mouth. After swallowing and wiping his mouth he added; "For reasons I swear I don't understand, I'm pretty sure I've landed the woman I'm going to spend the rest of my life with."

[bookemdanno]

"I don't think you can be that kind of luck. And did you meet your woman here?"
