[ he almost doesn’t follow her. kate’s a professional heroine (if that’s even an actual job), they went over the plan. kate does the lift, he provides access and keeps watch, they both get out easy enough. and with the layout of the back corridors of the museum, it’s eventually a dead end to a room mostly used to store cleaning equipment and chairs, nobody should be coming from there.
should be.
but she turns to saunter off, barty gets this moment of last-minute paranoia. and without thinking about it, he’s following her down the hall, silently trailing. not that barty’s trying to keep secret from kate specifically, just - general secretive.
and it’s a good thing, too, because there’s chatter from exactly where there shouldn’t be. and thank god for kate bishop’s quick thinking. to his credit, barty’s not shocked, or at least he doesn’t let it show for long. Instinct takes over. barty rook does not kiss shyly, but with the focus and precision of a man who’s not only experienced in his fair share of against-the-wall hookups, but just might have pulled this distracting trick before.
he grabs kate’s leg and hikes it up, hoping that she’s as flexible as he assumed, and gets a good handful right where thigh meets ass. hey, this isn’t a time that he can (hah!) half-ass anything. it’s all in the name of making it look real. ]
