Carol guest stars in Sensational She-Hulk #4, and I am frustrated by Jen (and the author of this comic) calling Carol no fun. Not only is that demonstrably false, but JEN in particular knows better. Also, I hope someone, somewhere remembers Carol had an impressive writing career…

❛   nothing wrong with wanting to be independent.   ❜ honestly, Carol gets it better than anyone, considering she joined the military right out of high school. her brothers couldn't have stopped her if they tried, but their worrying about her was natural. ❛   actually, you remind me of myself quite a bit.   ❜ she adds with a smile while looking at @shchvnts. ❛   just remember that it is also IMPORTANT to take care of yourself. it is okay to slow down when necessary, or to ask for help.   ❜ she lands on the rooftop of the building. ❛   we can tell your family that you were helping me if you'd like, but remember secrets tend to come out sooner or later.   ❜

"Whatever." Trinity told Carol, either way, chances are her brothers would likely figure out what she was doing lately. But she really wanted to get better. As soon as she was being carried, the huntress wrapped her arms around Carol's neck. She could only chuckle at the comment, "Yeah, I get that a lot. Sometimes, you gotta do everything to keep the people safe, right?"

another day, another fight. rinse & repeat. somehow, it never gets old. her fondness for punching those who deserve it is obvious. she won't even bother to deny it, as it is a form of therapy as much as she's putting her abilities to good use.
however, as soon as her opponent realized that @freezegirl wasn't around anymore, he RAN for it. the blonde gave chase, making sure to blast his sorry ass several times at full power, only to desist when remembering Kie's state. she'll have to track him down later. right now, her focus is on the young woman's well-being.
besides, she could shed some light on the subject.
Tumblr media
❛   hey, how are we doing in here ?   ❜ Carol climbs through the window, holding a box of donuts, as she switches off her costume to settle for her USUAL attire of jeans & a t-shirt. the scene between Chewie & her guest brings a smile to her features. ❛   she likes you. i'd take that as a compliment. she's usually . . . temperamental.   ❜
then she goes to the kitchen. ❛   want some tea ? i should have some . . .   ❜ she figures it will soothe her nerves. ❛   how are you feeling ? do you want to tell me who that was or . . . ?   ❜
Tumblr media
time seems to start up again only when miss danvers - carol - helps her to breathe again.
i need you to be brave for me.
yes. yes, she can do that. she can be brave. who is she to deny captain marvel, right? who is she to deny one of her favorite heroes? (she's got many, but captain marvel? definitely up there with the late jetstream!) the cat - chewie? that's such a cute name, kie likes the reference - leads her to the apartment two blocks over.
she lets herself in with trembling hands and sits on the couch, waiting for miss danvers - carol - to come back.
for a moment, her focus is on chewie and how she's not a normal cat because kie can't touch normal cats. this cat seems to be all right, though. doesn't mind the cold hands. (or if she does, she doesn't show it.)
she clears her throat before she can speak again, massaging her neck so as to remove the last bits and pieces of frost from her vocal chords.
"okay," kie whispers to herself. "okay... everything's still working as it should."

the blonde easily maneuvers him, supporting him & removing his clothes at the same time. she stops only to take off his shoes before pulling off his pants. he's uncharacteristically quiet for most of it. perhaps it is for the best, & with any luck, he will drift off to sleep without further incident.
except she really wants to make sure he has a glass of water & some painkillers. ❛   don't be so dramatic. everyone deserves help.   ❜ after readjusting him to make sure his head is COMFORTABLY resting against a pillow, his request makes her pause.
Tumblr media
❛   i won't, but i will be right back, okay ? i promise.   ❜ Carol leans to peck his forehead before she exits the room. a minute later, she is right by his side again. ❛   imma help you sit up now.   ❜ she hands him some painkillers before helping him drink some water. ❛   all of it. don't argue with me.   ❜ MIRACULOUSLY, he doesn't argue.
she helps him lie back down before sitting at the edge of his bunk. ❛   go on. get some sleep. i will stay with you.   ❜
Tumblr media
it  must  be  regret  roaring  in  his  chest  because  whatever  tumult  breaks  loose  within  him  doesn’t  reach  his  mind.       oh  yeah,       that  must  be  it.       what  other  feeling  is  as  familiar  as  that       ?      
he’s  like  a  defenseless  child  against  her.       her  somewhat  snarky  response  would  normally  cause  a  sharp  scoff  leave  his  lips       &       yet  he’s  too  tired  to  let  that  loose  as  well.      
Tumblr media
those  beautiful  blue  oceans  of  his  gaze  barely  flicker  open,       sometimes  only  one  eye  squints  at  the  blonde.       other  times  his  focus  is  razor  sharp  on  the  movements  of  her  hands.       he  wants  to  say  no,       he  wants  to  bicker       !       anything  to  stop  himself  from  letting  his  heart       BLEED       onto  this  mattress.       he  forgets  he’s       LOST       for  the  night.       his  head  momentarily  bounces  against  the  bed,       the  ceiling  spinning  like  his  thoughts.      
❝          i  don’t  deserve  your  help.          ❞       what  a  fucking       MESS       he  is.       he  can  only  hope  that  he  will  not  remember  this  when  he  wakes  up.       ❝          don’t  leave.       please     .  .  .          ❞

Tumblr media
no friendship is perfect. hell, she tends to think of the Avengers as her family. they have been here for her when she's needed them the most. again, families fight ( sometimes over stupid things ), but it doesn't change the bond that lays underneath. the two of them have gotten a lot closer as of late, & it is nice to spend time outside of work with her people despite it being such a LOADED conversation.
she chuckles at the internet comment. he's not wrong. then again, the internet also has its perks. like many other things, there are pros & cons, & there is never an easy answer. ❛   i can totally respect that. however, you need a strong support system to battle this. you can't do it alone. believe me, i have tried.   ❜ & never succeeded until Tony showed up & lighted the way. ❛   at the same time, respecting other people's BOUNDARIES is important while understanding that they are not meant to keep us out.   ❜
the woman can't help but think about how much her childhood influenced her choices in life, including her decision to try to solve her problems by drinking. it had been normalized behavior in her household growing up, her dad would drink daily. she's not talking about a beer or two a night, but the kind of indulgence that left the man incapacitated. however, not before he went on a RAMPAGE & terrorized his children. no wonder why she's so fucked up . . . that must have been where it all started.
the thought of being a fraction like her father makes her shudder.
Tumblr media
❛   none of us are perfect.   ❜ far from it. ❛   pretty sure the jerk torch gets passed around a lot.   ❜ although when she'd first joined the team, she had been so EAGER to prove herself, being chosen felt like an honor & an incredible responsibility. back then, she'd barely started to find her footing, so the pressure was up━again, another reason why she ended up cracking.
she falls silent, listening to him & giving him the necessary time to gather his courage & thoughts. however, she reaches across, resting her hand on his forearm as a sigh of SUPPORT. ❛   i don't think she did it because she felt like she owed you. i am pretty fucking sure it is because she loves & cares about you that she wanted to take care of you.   ❜ there's a difference, & he needs to see it.
his next statement causes her to lean back, almost like she had just received a BLOW. there goes another chuckle because Carol can relate to those feelings more than she'd like to admit. hell, it seems like her whole foundation. all she ever wanted was to be good enough to be recognized by her father. she just wanted him to acknowledge her hard work & admit that he'd been wrong about her. he just needed to admit that she was her brothers' equal.
wishful thinking. the colonel takes a deep breath, rubbing the back of her neck & grimacing slightly before speaking. ❛   i tend to find out that we fail whenever we try to better ourselves for others. it has to be because you are doing it for yourself.   ❜ only when she decided that she wanted to be the BEST version of herself for herself did she make any progress in all aspects of her life. she stopped trying to prove a damn thing because she realized her worth, & if other people couldn't see it, then that was their problem. ❛   you should know your own worth. if you don't believe it, then how do you expect others to see it ? & if others don't see it, then that seems like their problem, not yours.   ❜
she nods, smiling when he mentions that he is going. ❛   good. i could come to a few if you'd like. yanno, moral support & all that.   ❜
Tumblr media
It's not that he wants to throttle Carol into all of this stuff, but there's a good history with Carol save the times they have fought the big fights against each other. She's a good friend of his, he needed one of those. Coming to Carol tonight was a choice, respecting the fact that he knows his friend been her own kind of hell that came with amber-filled glasses one point or another.
CAROL gets all the shit in his head better anyway. Superhero stuff and crash course on how to blow up your life. ❝ Honestly, the whole internet should be taken offline at this point. ❞ He definitely should stop looking himself up, that's advice that he didn't even need to hear from a therapist. ❝ Sometimes, I don't want to take other people down with me. ❞ Linda had every right to set that boundary with him and he's going to do the good thing and respect it. He's been working on that apology for months. It's hard to come up with one for leaving a dying teenager in her living room at three in the morning instead of taking the kid to the hospital.
Clint definitely tossed Carol in the deep end; she should at least get the idea that he's owning now how far his roots with drinking went. He wasn't a kid who drank, until he was a kid in the circus; but there's something he always knew and thought he was vigilant against. He was predisposed to this kind of stuff. He sighs, but they weren't really talking about that or they would.
It's all connected. Getting caught up in the morality and ethics of superheroes made him want to drink. Go up on his apartment roof, get a beer buzz, and forgot about that all. That's what he's wanting right now, because he's faced with the city-sanctioned Thunderbolts he's leading and mistakes he has made butting heads. Times were he thought he had to step in, that he had to do the right thing even if tensions were high in the city.
❝ Ours may be one of the worst, the biggest for sure. ❞ Who hasn't lost count of how many Avengers there were? Dysfunctional was the best word to talk about their shared family. Their fights had been lethal before and sometimes it felt good to fight each other, pretend that any one of them had the right answers. ❝ I can't turn away and put up the bow, I tried. This is what I'm good at. Even when I've had to put it down. For me, it's not something I can do even when Steve's telling me to stand down. I'm Hawkeye, and I don't have a choice. It's all I am and have. ❞ There's this desperation that he can't keep out of his voice, like he's at the bottom of a well or he wants to be at the bottom of something else right now.
Tumblr media
❝ I've always been a colossal jerk and run my mouth. ❞ Everyone knew that, he hadn't been the nicest guy to be around when he was pushed out of the Avengers. That was probably one of Carol's first impressions of him and he's sure she has heard Steve's war stories about Clint in their early days together. He wouldn't be Hawkeye if he didn't have something to complain about or someone to insult. ❝ She knows, we're talking, but before she left for LA, when the idea that I was an alcoholic too was a shrug of the shoulder when beer bottles were a common sight in my apartment... Biggest jerk to her and that's when she... ❞ He sighs, and this is where the guilt part of the Kate topic came in.
❝ That kid ⸺ ❞ Clint's being deliberate with that word; it's not like his usual she's nine years old joke. She had only been a young twenty-something. ❝ She took care of me when my life was a mess; it's always a mess. She did it like it was her responsibility, owed it to me. ❞ It was like she was the duct tape that was barely keeping him together or the one that'd be there when he royally messed up anything.
❝ Sometimes, I think she'd try really hard around me to be good, be better... ❞ And fuck, this is gonna sting to say. He's only said this next part to Bobbi, and he's only now making this comparison, admitting this realization to Carol now. ❝ I was little, but even when I was older, I thought if I could just be a good enough son, a good enough student; than my dad would by nature get better, or that my mentors would... ❞ That was a tough pill to swallow, nothing to wash it down.
Carol says it plain with a sigh, and he makes amen in agreement. He's seen all the parts of him that were Harold, Jacques, and Buck. The part that stung worse yet was the point he just made, recalling the Kate from the past paralleling what the kid Clint did. ❝ M'going to meetings at least. Scary. ❞ He shivers at that thought paired with a chuckle. Scary indeed.

clearly, that had been the wrong approach. she had hoped his memories would be comforting, only to realize that it is clearly too soon. frankly, there will probably never be a good time for such a conversation because his people & home are still gone. this is precisely why she tends to keep her mouth shut more often than not.
yet there's a flicker of hope when he speaks. perhaps, he's making some PROGRESS. even a step forward helps. after all, it is never a race. ❛   i bet. lots of civilizations live on through the survivors.   ❜ of course, it doesn't lessen the pain, but it is something. it's heartwarming to see people thriving despite adversity━another reminder of why she pushes herself so much. ❛   i should definitely do a drive-by, at least. too bad you won't be around to give me the grand tour. Val is so busy . . . i hate being a distraction.   ❜
Carol looks at him, shaking her head because she doesn't believe it for a second. ❛   sure. yanno, Quill will call me to complain about it, & i will NEVER hear the end of it.   ❜ still, she finds reassurance that he's among friends & won't be too caught up in his own head. sometimes, they tend to be their own worst enemies.
❛   now that wasn't fair . . . i am not sure i know how to rest.   ❜ she confesses. it's been too damn long since she had that luxury. slowing down means having more time to think, & that's a no-no. ❛   is that the vibe i give ? exhausted space rebel ?   ❜ she sleeps, so she is definitely not FATIGUED. ❛   would you believe me if i said i don't feel tired ? but i also . . . i can't stop.   ❜ full transparency here, a very rare moment. ❛   there are many things i need to fix. i'm not sure i will ever get there, but maybe when i do i will finally be able to rest.   ❜ frankly, she doesn't believe that, but at least she's not lying.
“did you? it was quite a marvel. i am glad you had the chance to see it.”
deep within himself, the twinge of sadness returns. all that has plagued him in these recent years. . . it had all happened immediately after he lost his home. too much, all at once. none of it has been waded through yet— it has only been pushed away. despite having years to have said goodbye, he hasn’t. it isn’t the time to grieve for what is long lost. not with all that surrounds them, the fresh losses— the fresh returns. but the pain demands to be felt with the relief. bittersweet.
“much about us— them has changed; our scenery is vastly different, but they remain warm and happy. you would be impressed. perhaps you should visit, sometime. all of new asgard would welcome you with open arms. i know valkyrie would enjoy your company.”
meeting her grin is an exaggerated & insincerely offended scoff. he knows just what carol means; he will pretend otherwise. “fight? me? oh, i would never. i haven’t any reason to. i’ll be only on my best behavior.” the hint of a smile, the first in a while, smooths. for so long he couldn’t feel it, that those around him had not shut their hearts to him. it begins to settle in now, after years of pain.
his voice is softer when he says: “i promise i will try. if you promise to try to rest.” thor is no stranger to restlessness. there is always much to be done; before thanos, having no fight to get to nor a goal to strive for had never felt right. “sometimes, it is necessary. you can hardly, effectively help others when you have exhausted yourself.” pointedly, he raises an eyebrow at her, his back straightening now that she is finished tending to him. he looks as if he wants to say he knows he is right.

❛   it's a bit much, right ?   ❜ Carol inquires as she turns about herself before meeting his gaze. however, he's quickly distracted by his now-stained shirt. ❛   Jess insisted that it looked great, but i don't know . . .   ❜ it's almost too fancy. then again, this is a CLASSY event. ❛   should i change into something simpler ?   ❜ she walks up to him, ready to help. ❛   you should grab a clean shirt from the bedroom. let's wash it before it is ruined.   ❜ with a smile, she helps him remove the shirt before turning toward the sink.

the blonde looks up, almost in confusion, as she hadn't been expecting anyone, so she stands in the middle of the room, holding onto her bump. ❛   ms. Rand, please come in. i'm sorry . . . i was just ━━   ❜ being caught off-guard, clearly. ❛   i thought i felt the baby move, but it must have been my imagination.   ❜ & now she's RAMBLING. Carol's head shakes before she breaks into a smile. ❛   i'm not much for formality, so please call me Carol. can i offer you something to drink ?   ❜ while she waits for an answer, she motions for the other woman to sit. ❛   how do you like the Enterprise ? i hope James isn't giving you too many headaches . . . i can always scold him if necessary.   ❜
