She sighed happily, as tonight had been more quiet than usual. No evil villain running amok and terrorizing the locals or any hooligans causing trouble. Tonight was peaceful..that was till she near the sound of the roof tops door opening loudly. Her whole body jumped and her head snapped to the sound, she was more than ready to deal with whoever decided was a grand idea to be up here late at night but her guard was quickly lowered when met with her new found significant other.

"geez frank, can you open a door like a regular person?" She sighed letting her tense shoulders fall and raised her mask so her mouth was free. "I get you were in the army but not every door is your enemy." She joked while opening up her styrofoam take out tray.

Shooting her a slightly quizzical expression at her mumbling, Frank's head tilted in what was almost an adorable look of cluelessness as he dutifully took the fork from her fingers, brow raised. "Now would be a horrible time to find out 'm allergic to whatever it is you jus' said's in this."

Giving her a slight smirk, he fought the urge to smell whatever it was that she was setting aside before just manning up and spearing it with the fork only to frown in slight confusion when all that happened was the fact that the food just basically... came apart because he was too rough.

"What the.." Muttering under his breath at being bested by food, of all things, he narrowed his eyes and glanced up at her covered face as his own turned a shade or two redder at his inability to properly eat whatever the hell this was. "Don' you dare go makin' jokes about how I can't feed myself." He grumpily huffed before bowing his head, bringing the box plate up to his mouth and bravely shoving the ruined round piece through his lips.

Fully expecting it to taste like the seaweed he thought he spotted in it earlier, Castle was actually surprised to find that this, whatever it was she said it was, wasn't that bad. With a small hum and a pull of his lips upwards in one direction, he nodded his head at the food and her.

Holding a hand up, he gave in. "Alrigh'. It ain't bad. 'm not convinced it's all... the same but, yeah, you're right 'bout this one." Just as he was going to poke at another interesting-looking bit of food, he glanced up before pausing.

"First of all, you make me sound like a horrible Western, you realize that, right? Like a hitman version of a Western movie. Gun-slinger? I don't even call you web-slinger and between the two of us, I think you suit the title much better than me," He shot back, the laugh already spilling from his lips as he leaned back on the concrete, shaking his head.

"you wouldn't be the first to call me web-slinger. Find it kind of badass." She stretched her back before letting her legs dangle again. They swing back and forth as she looked down at the people below, it was a Friday night and people we're taking that time to party and get absolutely plastered. It was fun to say the least, sitting up so high and just..watching people go by.

She sighed happily, as tonight had been more quiet than usual. No evil villain running amok and terrorizing the locals or any hooligans causing trouble. Tonight was peaceful..that was till she near the sound of the roof tops door opening loudly. Her whole body jumped and her head snapped to the sound, she was more than ready to deal with whoever decided was a grand idea to be up here late at night but her guard was quickly lowered when met with her new found significant other.

"geez frank, can you open a door like a regular person?" She sighed letting her tense shoulders fall and raised her mask so her mouth was free. "I get you were in the army but not every door is your enemy." She joked while opening up her styrofoam take out tray.

He gave the suited-up woman a dry look as he raised a brow, the toe of his boot meeting said door with an equally loud 'slam' as it shut. Blinking twice, he rolled his eyes at her in a playful manner and huffed out a breath in a scoff of a chuckle, head moving slightly from side to side as he walked towards Penelope.

"Ha. Ha. Real funny, sweethear'." Frank deadpanned, his eyes searching her over for any apparent injuries because fuck knows that she wouldn't tell him a damn thing should he have asked and he kept his gait casual until he was satisfied that she was okay.

There wasn't a single person who'd call Castle sexist or say that he didn't think a woman could get the same dirty job done just like he could. But that didn't stop him from wanting to shield people from the aspects of life that not everyone needed to know existed, the world of things that go bump in the dark.

Pushing back his hood with a slight grunt, Frank dropped himself right next to her as he put both arms behind his body, palms against the cement so that he could release some of the tension that was pulsing through his blood. Call him a fuckin' idiot for thinking it, but the city was just too damned quiet for his liking. Usually meant something would-

Nope, not gonna go there. He thought to himself with a slight shake of his head as he instead focused on the still-masked woman at his side. "Y'know these fuckin' rooftop doors, none of 'em ever seem to realize they have to fuckin' open when someone pushes on 'em." Grousing at her with a smirk, tugging the corner of his lip up, he shrugged a shoulder.

"Gotta get a lil bit rough with 'em sometimes."

Frank couldn't help but wrinkle his nose when he glanced at her lap. He gave her a judgmental look, his chin jerking towards her food. "I don' have a clue how you eat that. It's literally raw fish. Damn, knew I shoulda grabbed a slice before comin' to see ya." He joked as he hid his sigh at the fact that she still didn't feel okay with showing him the face beneath her mask just yet.

"that's sushimi, different from this. It's like a mix of crab and fried shrimp. Well that one is, fried tempura with some cream cheese etc etc." she rambled while moving the box to the side so that the open lid was facing him; sort of like a little plate, before propping it up with her knee and placing a few pieces she think he'd maybe like if he didn't well, more for her.

Though with a fork in her mouth after shoving the food in it, Penelope looked up at him then out to the city before just shrugging "dunno." She said before swallowing her food "I mean, yeah? I guess. Nothin's been really going off. No alarms, no Spidey sense. Nothin'." She turned her head to him, her eyes scanning him through the mask looking him dead in his eyes. He was going to ask her again wasn't he..- maybe. Maybe if she didn't bring it up he wouldn't and this night would go smoothly?

"This may be something of an understatement, but you are not doing well."

"Wouldn't you rather be at home than here?"

"Are you sleeping at night? You've got circles around your eyes, pale skin - you don't get more than two or three hours at a stretch, do you?"

"I don't sleep."

"We're going nowhere for a while. Might as well get some sleep."
