[ He smiles. ]

You're not dead yet, Nat.

[ But he knows what she means, after having worked it through with Tony and with Nat previously. They thought they could rest, and, maybe this place had other plans for them.

But even so, Steve can't be too mad. And he's certain that she'll come around. ]

What's something you wanted to do while you were alive?

[ She raises her eyebrows at him. ]

You don't know that.

[ She is completely sure is she is dead -- she remembers the fall, the moment when her breathing grew impossible and she blacked out... far more peacefully than she ever thought she would go. At that height she'd known, technically, she'd be dead before impact. She hadn't wanted to die, but the choice had been a simple one.

It occurs to her, belatedly, that maybe Steve really didn't know. He'd talked to her like he had, but... well, it's not as if she'd told him where and when she'd come from.

And that sure as hell wasn't going to happen now!

Let the man keep his illusions. ]

For all we know, this is just an elaborate afterlife. With decent lattes. And cats. And we're all dead.

[ She's not a fan of the Russian winter in her last sentence, but she was raised how she was raised. ]

Well, I'm not dead. Unless I reverted to this time.

[ But then, it won't matter if he goes back and has all that knowledge about Thanos. Nothing would happen, because it'd already have happened. It gives him a headache. He'd prefer to think about it in another way. ]

Also, if it's an afterlife, then, it's a pretty good one.

[ Not exactly heaven, but, he has a vegetable garden. He has a job. He gets to see his friends every day. He can't complain. ]

And then I wonder where people go after this.

You said the people who die here just come back here, [ she tilts her sadly empty cup in his direction. ] Which seems like a pretty strong point for the afterlife theory.

[ She is arguing this with zero investment and partially to be a brat, as Steve may recognize. The truth is, if she's right about this, then Steve's dead. And she. Doesn't want that. So. It's just a giant flag wave of distraction, really. ]

[ Regardless of whether she wants him or doesn't want him dead, it still could be something that happens. So - that's no reason to discount the theory. ]

Then we're not really in a hurry to go back, are we?

[ Which, honestly, is good for him. He'd be glad to spend more time with Nat. ]

Not so much.

[ Although... she would like to know... if it worked.

She sets the thought aside for now and tilts her head slightly, looking at Steve searchingly for a moment. ]

I'm glad you're happy, Steve.

[ There's an odd freedom to saying what she'd have only thought before - but she hadn't thought she'd see him again... at all. So. She wants him to know that. In case. ]

I am.

[ He smiles, and then finishes his coffee. And thinks about ordering more pastries. One of the cats gets annoyed and leaves to go hang with someone else. ]

You could try it sometime, Nat. 'Cause you deserve it too.

[ He reaches into his beard and takes out a flower, offering it to her. ]

Here.

[ Her gaze drops to the flower he offers and she wishes that the symbolism wasn't quite so inescapable, of taking his offer, and taking his advice.

Heh. Life's never been about what I deserve, Steve.

Nah. She's got a second chance. She's not gonna use it to squish Steve, for however long this lasts.

She takes the flower and twirls it between her fingers, giving him a little smirk. ]

Don't tell me. There's plenty more where that came from.

I've got a whole garden of them on my roof. Was thinking about getting some fruit trees out back.

[ He grins at her, and it's an easy one. He's adjusted to this life, but he knows it'd taken him some time. When he'd arrived, he'd been chased down by the ghost of Charles Spencer. It'd taken him months just to get over the time pause idea.

But now, look at him. Thriving. That's really all he wants for her. But, it's okay if it takes time. ]

Now that I'd like to see.

[ Steve Rogers: Gardner. Who knew? ]

Well, you can if you want. As long as you don't laugh. The house I got is built into a hill, like one from the Hobbit.

[ He'd gotten it because the Hobbit reminded him of earlier days, when he and Buck would swap fantasy novels to read. ]

Don't worry, I dropped the foundation, so it's tall.

I make absolutely no promises not to laugh. [ Excuse?! That is ridiculous and amazing and is almost as good as the flowers in the beard. He built himself a Hobbit hole for his retirement. ]

It's cruel of you to even suggest such a thing.

Fine, but if you laugh, you're not allowed inside.

[ A compromise. He did find a hobbit hole and decorate his beard with flowers. His motorcycle has a little woven basket in front with tassels because the spirit neighbors thought that it could use a little sprucing. Steve spends his days with cats. This is perfect. ]

I'll go settle the bill. You make sure Miso doesn't cry after me.

[ Fair enough. She supposes she can guilt him about it later, if it happens: Oh no, I'm new to this world and my friend won't even let me in his--

...yeah, she can't even finish the sentence in her mind, she's already laughing. ]

I'm not a cat whisperer, [ she calls after him as he gets up before pointing at the Miso. ] All right, you heard him. There's no crying in baseball.

[ Misao, having zero appreciation for her cultural references and not particularly impressed with the directive finger, takes this opportunity to jump off the table and follow Steve. ]

Miso.

[ He bends down to scoop up the cat and put it on a cat tree. ]

Stay. I'll be back later, you know that.

[ The big orange fluffball turns around and around and then lies down on the cat tree with an indignant huff. Somewhere, the other one is telling him, 'told you so.' ]

Once you get settled, by the way, I should give you the tour.

[ She tilts her head slightly to the side and smiles at him. ]

The nickel or the dollar? [ Heh, at least she amuses herself. ] Are we going to start with the renovated Hobbit hole?

Whichever you've got time for.

And yeah, we're starting there. Didn't bring an extra helmet for the bike, so, hold on tight.

[ And then he heads out - there's only one motorcycle parked outside. ]

[ Natasha eyes the cats for a moment, then glances around as Steve heads out.

Well. This might as well happen.

She gets up and follows after him. ]
