I realize this is sort of coming out of left field. It's so far left that it's left the field and into the parking lot adjacent to said field.

But.


Is there anyone here who could help me build a catapult?


It's for a friend.

I don't owe him anything. It was an accident, I was ten, I didn't know what I was doing and my mother had died.

And he did. He asked her to choose between him and me.

And Chuck chose you? That's good news. Better than a car. [For people who get all melty over that stuff.]

Take it as a win. Besides, now you get to go car shopping. Bad coffee, free danish, making salesmen wet themselves, new car smell. Everybody loves new car smell.

[It might be something to note that Natasha doesn't do anything with the dead mother comment. It's... not a sore subject, exactly, but she avoids discussions of family.]

She did. But I'm sure she feels terrible and guilty and upset. It wasn't..long after that that I came to the Barge.

At least I don't need to make all the custom adjustments all over again.
