Kitty Pryde has posed:
Kitty Pryde had sent Gwen Stacy a text message. First with a picture of the outside of Katz's Deli, an iconic New York eatery made famous by the movie When Harry Met Sally. Then quickly after, followed a link to the deli's online menu.

> I'm at Katz's. If you're free I can pick up food for you and Ben and stop by. Let me know what you want if so!

After a selfie of a grinning Kitty, blowing a kiss at the camera, while a pair of young men try to photobomb it behind her.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
It has been a while since Gwen got a text from Kitty so when she receives it there's a smile on her lips that brightens those blue eyes of hers. And then she gets to typing. Using both thumbs because she's good like that. (And a spider).

> Going to be the Harry to my Sally, is it? Come over! Peter isn't around but we can talk some.

A selfie is sent in return with a basket of clothing behind her (and is that a black and white sleeve poking out from amidst the basket?)

> Save me from laundry day!

Phone is stashed away and she hops up to her feet, moving to get that basket over to the laundry machine with a sigh. Because even superheroes like her need to do their laundry. Harsh truths when you don't have a butler to do that for them. Darn you, Batman.

Kitty Pryde has posed:
Kitty Pryde confirms what Gwen wants and then goes about getting food and making the trip over to Gwen's apartment in Greenwich. She climbs the stairs for an extra workout instead of taking the elevator, which gives her face a bit of an extra glow by the time she makes it to Gwen's door.

Kitty rappity-tap-taps on the door. She's wearing a pair of light tan linen straight leg pants and a light tank top with a matching linen jacket overtop of it. The fabric light enough for the still warm weather. Dangling from her hand as she waits at the door is the to go bag with Katz's logo on it.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
With the time Kitty takes getting to Greenwich Gwen already had the time to both start the laundry but also to change to something a little better. For being-at-home standards at least. A nice crop top that has no issue with showing plenty of belly and a pair of yoga pants over long legs. Feet? Bare, of course. She doesn't believe in wearing shoes in the house. As for her hair it's held up in a mess of a bun secured by chopsticks, wisps of blond hair trailing down her face.

Door opens and there's a grin. "Hey Kitty." she peers at the bag and then at her friend. "My savior." she lets Kitty walk in before closing the door and offering the other girl a hut, wrapping arms around her.

"How have you been? A bit since last we talked." she says in a soft tone, squeezing her shoulder.

Kitty Pryde has posed:
It's clear from how Kitty's face lights up at the sight of Gwen at the door just how much she's missed the blond ESU coed. "Hey you," she says warmly, setting down the bag of food so she can wrap both arms back around Gwen in a tight hug. "You are a sight for sore eyes," she says before letting Gwen go.

She picks up the bag and moves over towards the coffee table. "I'm doing pretty good. Work has been keeping me busy," she says of her job at Stark Industries. "Really interesting stuff. I'm pretty happy with my decision to take their offer," she says as she starts transferring wrapped sandwiches and containers of side dishes out of the bag. "How about yourself? How's this semester looking for you?"

Gwen Stacy has posed:
"And you ..." a touch of color to Gwen's usually paler cheeks as she finally releases a breath, relaxing some at the sight of her friend, "You came right in the nick of time. Before I went mad..." a sagely nod coming from the blonde coed. "Ben's out. He's been .., dealing with a couple of things." and by the way her lips press to a line there's the faintest hints of worry there.

"We will get through it." She says, gesturing for them to sit at the couch. "And so I heard. Stark Industries.." she whistles. "Is Tony Stark all they say he is?" she asks with a laugh. "Actually, not sure I want to know. Need tocome the myth up.."

"I have been considering going to work at Smoak Tech. You know Felicity Smoak?" she asks. "She's starting up a new company so ..., might be time to wrap up my internship at Oscorp and move on."

Kitty Pryde has posed:
Kitty takes a seat on the couch close beside Gwen, picking out which sandwich is Gwen's and passing it over to her. "Aw, well, pass on a hug from me," Kitty says at hearing Ben isn't around. She unwraps her own sandwich, which appears to be roast beef with cheddar and some kind of spicy chipotle mayo on it.

"You know I haven't had much opportunity to interact with him. Pepper Potts, if you know who she is? She's the one who made me the offer actually," Kitty explains.

She takes a bite of her sandwich and then lets out a happy sigh. "Was so hungry," Kitty says when the bite is gone. "I'm not familiar with her. Smoak Tech? What is it that they are focused on?" she asks.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
While Kitty takes care of the food Gwen gets the drinks ready. And that means either a beer or wine depending on what Kitty wishes for. Or even juice! As for Gwen? Wine of course. She's so posh. Glasses are brought over the beverages and she finally settles down next to Kitty, "I have heard -of- her." she says back at Kitty. "Never really got to meet her ... I blame Janet, she never introduces me to her friends." her grin showing she's joking.

Or maybe she isn't!

"She's starting up." She explains, "Used to work at Queen Industries, out of Starling but seems like she's ready for the next step. And from what we talked about she wants to focus on developping tech to help law enforcement. And I think my skills are just right for it.."

"Besides being an interested party if I get a few new toys." a wink following it. Ghost Spider does like her toys after all.

Kitty Pryde has posed:
"I'll have to read up on it," Kitty says between bites. The offer of the wine is accepted, and if Gwen doesn't fill it to the top of the glass, Kitty motions to her keep it coming as she adds a grin. Apparently she doesn't have to work on Sunday.

"Mmm. I'm mostly working on some AI stuff. Not quite sure what the end use will be. Working on various algorithms for it," she says. "Which is, really just so incredibly cool. If it ended up in Iron Man's armor some day that would really be something."

Kitty wipes a bit of chipotle mayo from the corner of her mouth, sucking it from her finger before setting down her sandwich to take a sip of the wine. "What are things like at Oscorp?" she asks.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
It starts slow. Then a brow arches at Kitty's grin when she doesn't tell Gwen to stop filling the glass. "Seems like you will have to sleep over." she laughing once it's all up to the brim. She does the same to her glass before corking the bottle and setting it aside.

"I admit I have yet to delve deep into AI." She says with a sigh, "Though I always preferred the more tangible things. I like things I can get my hands on." Yes, there's that mischievous grin on Gwen's expression when she says that. And she hasn't even started drinking the wine yet! But then again she's always been more about electronics than actually computers. "You know, maybe you should be the one working on Ghost Spider's new toys.." she suggests.

"I hear that girl needs all the help she can get." a sip from her drink before finally digging into the food itself. The question about Oscorp makes her hesitate. "It's .., weird. It's also different from.., you know, from my past." the other reality. "It's part of why I feel like I need a new thing, away from it. Mr. Osborn has always been nice to me though so I am still thinking. I haven't accepted Felicity's offer yet."

Kitty Pryde has posed:
Kitty takes another sip of the wine, and gives an appreciative nod for it. Whether Gwen's still on college student and intern finances or not, the girl picks out a good bottle of wine!

Turning sideways in the couch to face Gwen, Kitty continues to nibble on her sandwich while they talk. "What was it like in your... your home?" she asks. "There was an Oscorp there? Or were they a different sort of company or something?" she asks.

"I think they made the MRI machine that they used on my dad after... after some troubles he had in Japan," Kitty comments. "I remember seeing their logo on it. Not sure what all they are into besides medical and aeronautics stuff. Here I mean."
