There anyone out there hearin' this? We got some major water problems in the apartments here!

I'm gonna grab as many people as I can, get 'em outta here. Is there anywhere I can get 'em to that ain't underwater?

Krok, Spinister, Bucky. That means you guys too! Chromia, you hear me?

Thanks...

Gonna meet him at the tram station thing in an hour or so. He sounds like he's fine.

Good....good.

[PRIVATING THIS RIGHT NOW.]

You're okay too?

[Aw, Chromia.]

Yeah, I'm fine. Kinda soggy, but I'm okay.

... takes a little more than a flood to put me down.

[Shut up she's just worried.]

You needed a bath, anyway.

[There's unspoken fondness in that voice, at least.]

Hey!

[But he doesn't actually sound upset by it.]

You could've just tossed me in the river if it was gettin' that bad.

I could've...

[Excuse her, she's trying to pry open a door during this conversation.]

But then I'd have to fish you out. You don't exactly float.

You coulda just let me drag my own sorry hide out.

[He pauses too.]

Need a hand?

Not really.

But I could use you here if you've got the time from playing hero.

Where are you?

I'll be right there.

I've made it into the next building over from ours. Meet me on the first floor.

[Going door to door is so tedious, but it's the only way she'll know for sure.]

Got it. On my way.

[You could just break down the walls, honey.]

[Well excuse her for following "don't scare people with axes" to a T]

[But Ironhide can find her prying the next one open, only for water to rush outbetween her legs as the room's empty. She strides in, though, trying to grab any blankets and undamaged supplies that might be left.]

[He sees her duck into the room, as the rush of water threatens to close the door after her. He slogs forward, shouldering the door back into position.]

[Not that she'd need it, really, but hey, anything to help.]

Hey! Find anyone?

[Oh, there, you are, Ironhide. She turns to look at him, gathering all she can from the room--wet or not. Blankets could dry.]

No one. But someTHING.

[She turns, hoisting some blankets over her shoulders.]

Bucky wants us to grab supplies.

[He squints skeptically at the pile. That just looks like a bunch of wet cloth, how is that supposed to help...]

Okay. If you say so.

Anything you want me to grab?

[How is she supposed to know? His glance is met with hers, just as quizzical.]

Hold these.

[She tosses them at him, before wading further in.]

I can get to this stuff better than you probably can.

[He doesn't even protest. He just grunts and catches the wet blankets, shifting them up onto one shoulder.]

Yeah, probably. Just watch your step in there.

No problem. I got someone spotting me.

[She turns back, giving him a little smile before working her way in to salvage.]

Humans have so many...things.

Hope they'll do a good job watchin' your back.

[He smirks back at her, kicking at the water a little.]

Yeah, tell me about it. How's even half this stuff useful?

Beats me. From what everyone's said, though, you guys have interacted with humans.

...

[She stops a moment.]

Oh...you probably don't--sorry.

[He grimaces. Hopefully while her back is turned, so she won't see the expression.]

... It's all right.

Don't worry 'bout it. Let's just focus on gettin' stuff out.

[Facial expression or not, she knows. She doesn't draw attention to it, grabbing the spare blankets that are in the room and hoisting them over her own shoulder. Eyes cast down as she turns around and walks back.

Grabbing him by the chestplate and pulling him down, planting an ever so soft kiss on his cheek.]

C'mon. I'll make up for it later.

[It probably says something about their relationship that his only response to being yanked down is to grunt in surprise, not fight it.]

[His optics get very wide, however, when her lips find his cheek.]

[One arm loops around her shoulders for a moment, holding on tight. Squeezing. But only briefly.]

... You already did.

[And then he lets go, nodding to her. Time to get to work.]
