More things you're making lists of in that journal of yours?

[coolcostumes]

yes.

long lists of nice things i can say to you.

[white_widow]

You're so strange, Kate Bishop.

[coolcostumes]

i know.

i think it's one of my best traits.

[white_widow]

I could not agree more.

[coolcostumes]

you'd get bored if i was normal.

[white_widow]

If you were normal, you would not have spoken to me long enough for me to get bored.

[coolcostumes]

if i were normal would i have gotten to talk to you at all?

[white_widow]

No, I guess not. Fair point.

[coolcostumes]

well, in this instance, i'm glad to be abnormal.

[white_widow]

I'm glad you're abnormal too, Kate. I hope you don't end up regretting that.

[coolcostumes]

i've been like this for awhile
well before i met you
and i've been fine so i think i'll be good.

[white_widow]

That isn't quite what I meant, but good.
It does make sense. You do like being good.
Before you complain again, I'm not saying you cannot be bad too.

[coolcostumes]

i thnk we've had that little argument enough don't worry
i won't try and convince you again.

what did you mean, though?

[white_widow]

You never needed to try and convince me in the first place.

I hope you do not end up regretting ever talking to me. Before you start with the reassurances, I know you are absolutely sure you won't.

[coolcostumes]

putting aside the fact that i know i won't regret that, why would you think that? there's like nothing you could do that would make me regret that

[white_widow]

I think fear you underestimate the things I have already done.

[coolcostumes]

listen

i know you've done things in the past
i get it
i've done things
and before you say they're not the same thing i know
but it's your past
i know what you're doing now and who you are now.

[white_widow]

I don't understand how you can be so certain that there is this clear dividing line between the past and now.

[coolcostumes]

do you hold anything in my past against me?

[white_widow]

You're tempting me to point out that it's not the same, regardless of the fact that you pointed that out already.

[coolcostumes]

i know our pasts are very different. believe me, i get it. i can't even really imagine what you went through.

but i also see you now. i know you now. and i like that person flaws and all.

[white_widow]

I would not want you imagining that.

Okay.
I'm not trying to talk you out of it, even if it doesn't entirely make sense to me.

[coolcostumes]

yeah well
i pride myself on not making sense to people.

[white_widow]

Oh, I did not know it was something you pride yourself on. In that case, consider me encouraging.
