Note: In the Au where Carter is still alive. Set during Night of the Hawk in the house.
Carter was watching tv as Kendra was flipping through a magazine. It had been awhile since they had finished unpacking and they were taking the time to relax before trouble really started.
"Oh guess what? Ray said that all the guys go to baseball game sometime. I can't imagine MIck going to a game without mugging someone, we would go thrown out in half a second" Carter let out a humorless laugh
"Oh, Mick would get you thrown out?" Kendra replied
"Yeah, MIck"
"Not the "Strangler" Kendra smirked behind her magazine
"Okay that was one time" Carter started
"One time was enough, we were banned from all the stadiums in the Canada by hippies. Hippies! Do you not remember them throwing flowers at you, yelling "Peace not War." And then your face was up on the news at least once a day for a week" Kendra said
"If the referee wasn't so busy loving the cheerleaders he would have seen that was a strike! I mean it is in every rule book in baseball. If it's butted, it's a strike!" Carter started waving his mace around, and almost knocked over the TV in attempt to demonstrated the butted strike
"Well I'm sure you strangling him changed his mind. Face it, with baseball you tend to overreact"
"I overreact? May I remind you to the Pie Incident"
"The Pie Incident was a totally different situation. That was a reasonable overreaction."
"Sucker-punching the woman was very reasonable...So we're the police trying to sedate you" Carter smirked, "I must say, you looked beautiful running through the park with cherry pie smeared across your face. I wish portable cameras had been around then."
"Well you were no help, laughing at me." Kendra huffed
"Pie in the face is always funny. It was just pie"
"I was wearing make up that day. Do you know how much mascara burns your eye?"
"It was April Fools Day, you have to deal with it and move on. How stupid is it to hit her? You were just lucky it wasn't the real Tina Turner."
"Stupid? Stupid! I'm the stupid one! Um, I wasn't the one that said," She cleared her throat and began in a poor imitation of a gruff male voice "Oh no, it's perfectly safe, we'll just fly between the blades and make it home free for Mount Fuji."
"Those blades were not spaced apart according to regulations." Carter protested
"You looked like a shredded bird and wouldn't go near fans for half a century" Kendra scoffed
"At least I can be near fans now. You can't even LOOK at a dolphin to this day."
"Yes I can!"
"No way!"
"Fine, we'll recreate the situation, you search for the nearest ocean. I'll borrow Sara's machete, and get Leonard to freeze the the water." Kendra snapped and marched out the door.
"You're on."
