After the battle is over....

[miniclaws]

When Wolverine is doing double duty with the Avengers, Scott calls Laura up to the main team to take his place. She does not protest, even when it cuts into a barbecue that is being organised for the students at Xavier's. Her team mates are angry on her behalf but she does not care, a battle is still easier than socialing for her.

The dinosaur rampaging through the streets of New York, is smarter than it should be. The team divides, one half to find the telepath behind it and the other to contain the beat. She is not surprised when Spiderman joins the chase, the dinosaur would disturb anyone on their day off. It is not the first they've worked together, bumping into each other is becoming a regular occurrence.

When Mastermind is picked up, and the dinosaur penned, Laura informs Scott she will not be returning with the team, that she would prefer to spend her afternoon in the city. When he voices no strong objections she walks over to join Peter.

"Are you busy?"

Spider-Man is about to pull off his mask when Laura approaches him, which gives him a second to pause and wonder if something else might be up.

He likes Laura just fine, but truth be told, they don't have a lot of chances to talk and he isn't sure he knows her too well. This is probably a mission thing, or maybe there's some other clean-up job that requires a Spider-Man.

Whatever the case is, he tilts his head towards her and shrugs.

"Well, I was considering embarking on the tedious journey of crafting a lasagna from scratch, pasta and all, but whatever job the X-Men needs Spider-Man for, you know I'm here to help."

It's a terrible joke, but basically ... yeah.

He adds, "That is to say, no not really."
