[He knew it was coming. In fact, he's surprised that it's happening now—as in, "now" and not "sooner." He knows how good Stark's Tech is, even if Tony always wanted to advance it with Kree technology. But it was good tech. So, even if Noh-Varr knew that his tech was advanced, far more advanced than Stark's, he had a feeling someday—

Noh-Varr's lips turn downward at the message. That is a public place, and his previous private tense conversations with Carol had never gone particularly well. With good reason, he supposes, given his string of mistakes that he can line up on a wall. Trust the wrong person again and again ... only now he's put his trust in Kate Bishop and the other younger Avengers. He isn't sure he would trust the older ones—in that they would not trust him, with good reason—but Kate and the others ... perhaps there is something there.
Or perhaps he is desperate for a chance to protect, to ensure that what the Supreme Intelligence wanted does not come to pass.
Or perhaps he just loves Earth, and it's something he cannot deny. Explaining that so freely, though—that's the hard part.
Still, he does not pass up the opportunity to visit and have coffee, a drink that he still wants to learn to appreciate. Annie first started him down that path (with both coffee and tea), and he imagines it is only fitting to continue.
Noh-Varr is not late as he strides in. He makes eye contact with her before going to order a latte (extra foam), and then he settles down in front of her with it in hand, hand covering the top.]
