[ cordelia is holding on for dear life, arms wrapped around that sizable chest, as she lets out a thrilled shriek of laughter as they crest the hill.

when she notices the picnic, her eyes get wide. ] You did all this?

[recruited]

[ Once Steve comes to a stop he turns his head just a touch so he can see Cordelia's face. Right out of the corner of his eye. ]

Yeah. Is it too much?

[allaboutme]

[ her smile is ear to ear, and she's just staring as if she feels like she's gonna wake up at any moment to be honest ] Pretty sure those words aren't in my vocabulary. [ she lets her arms slip from his neck and steps closer, turning in place as she takes all this in ] It's perfect.

[ He feels a little more confident in this little set up then. Because one of the things he was concerned with was if he looked like a crazy person with how much he put into this. A second date on Valentine's Day isn't exactly typical. Even Steve "King of Not Dating" Rogers knows that.

Steve doesn't look at the set up though. Instead he watches Cordelia with a smile on his face. It just grows as she takes it in. ]

I agree. [ Though it's very clear that Steve is not talking about what he's done. ]

[allaboutme]

[ she's just grinning widely, as she turns and gives him a big hug, punctuated by a kiss on the cheek ] Seems to be a running theme with you.

[recruited]

[ Steve grins widely and turns as red as a tomato. He looks very proud of himself though. ]

Come on. Let's eat. [ He takes her hand and moves towards the picnic blanket to sit. ] You can tell me about your day before this.

[allaboutme]

[ she lets him pull her down to the blanket, where she sits cross legged ] Like about the guy who ruined two hours worth of perfectly put together hair with his superspeed?

[recruited]

[ Steve lets his legs stretch out off the blanket as he leans to the side against one of his hands. ] A guy. With superspeed. He wouldn't happen to have really blonde hair would he?

[allaboutme]

You know him?

[recruited]

[ He takes a deep breath and nods. ]

Pietro. He was part of my team back home. Him and his sister. Wanda. She's here too.

[ It's all kind of--hard to talk about sometimes. Especially with what happened to Pietro. ]

[allaboutme]

Wait, they were on your team of superfriends? How'd they wind up here?

[recruited]

The Avengers.

[ God, Cordelia. They are so not the superfriends. ]

I assume they came through the Veil like me. Then I imagine their abilities got them picked up just like me.

[allaboutme]

It's not like I can talk. People from Sunnydale show up here all the time.

[recruited]

What was your home like? [ Steve reaches for the picnic basket to put it between them. He pulls out a container with strawberries as he looks up at her. ] Back in my time I used to dream about what California was like.

[allaboutme]

California? Beautiful. The sun, the sand, the water... [ she sighs dreamily ] Sunnydale, specifically, though? I couldn't wait to get out of there.

[recruited]

I've been to California, but it was for SHIELD so it doesn't count. I never got to go to the beach. New York didn't have good beaches. [ Steve nods his head. ] It's an interesting name. Look at you now. [ He gestures outward. ] You happy where you wound up?

[allaboutme]

Near death experience aside? Definitely. It's not like that's really new for me, anyway.

[recruited]

I've definitely had my fair share of those in my line of work.

[ His job is basically a near death experience back home. ]

You're a pretty strong woman.

[allaboutme]

Damn right. [ still, she sounds pleased, as she starts glancing through one of the baskets ] Something about growing up surrounded by vampires and fugly demons'll do that to you.

[recruited]

So, you've dealt with vampires too then huh?

[ His only knowledge of vampires is what he's hear from Rose during their training sessions. That and his introduction to Blondie. ]

[allaboutme]

Sort of a thing, when you live on a Hellmouth.

[recruited]

I've actually never heard of a Hellmouth. What is it exactly?

[allaboutme]

A dumping ground for demons and other nasty evil things. You know. A mouth of hell.

[recruited]

So, it's pretty much all in the name then huh?

[ Steve smiles to himself. ]

What sort of evil things are we talking?

[allaboutme]

Vampires, demons, ghosts... The standard Halloween package.
