Caitlin was perusing her phone while walking alongside her sister Rebecca towards the cafeteria at the Avenger's Training Facility. She'd gotten a little better about figuring out how to operate her phone, but it still amused the redhead to see her normally adroit sister struggle so much with technology.
The brunette suddenly stopped in her tracks, her eyes wide as she read something on the small device. Rebecca stopped as well, regarding her with concern.
"What is the matter, Caitlin?"
"It's… It's… Becca, it's an email from Kitty, she sent me an article on…" Caitlin gave a shudder and closed her eyes. "God, it's too awful…"
"Caitlin, what?" The redheaded girl stepped in closer, her concern rising, and laid a reassuring hand on the other girl's arm. "I am here for you. What is wrong?"
"It's about bacon," Caitlin wailed, opening her eyes to reveal the despondency within. "It says that bacon is bad for me, it could cause cancer!"
Rebecca dropped her hand and let out a small but slightly irritated sigh. "Caitlin."
"What?"
"Did you not say that our bodies are highly resistant to diseases and poisons?"
"Um, yeah, that's what Dr Banner told me…"
"Would that not include cancer?"
"Oh… Oh! Yeah, it would! So I can keep eating bacon?"
"Yes, Caitlin, yes you may."
They resumed their walk towards the cafeteria again, though now the diminutive brunette was bouncing along and singing softly. "Bacon bacon ba-con, bacon bacon ba-con…"
Rebecca allowed a soft smile to form on her face. Yes, her sister could oftentimes be mercurial, erratic, and frequently silly.
But it only made her love her all the more.
