Mun is Playing with Shipping Again...

[newjerseyhero]

We're doing this again?! It's going to be nowhere near as epic as Cap/Thor and you know it.

I'm on a team with both of them, team relationships are so not of the good. And yes, I'm Buffy-speaking, this is my day for Buffy speak and you shall deal with it. It's not that Sam and Miles aren't awesome - they really are - but come on, you've got how many ships for me now? If Ammi and Abu ever find out, I would be in so much trouble because of you and your shipping.

[...]

Think I'm done for now. It okay if I go back and finish that Cap/Thor fic I was writing?

Cap's a lucky guy...

Er, ah, I mean... Your mun ships us? 'Cause mine does that too.

[newjerseyhero]

Thor crush? You'll need to join the crowd.

She ships me with a few people. It's getting a bit... much, if I'm honest.

[kid_nova]

I can see that. You're one of the new heroes on the block, makes sense they'd want to ship you. Of course, it'd kind of weird that people do that to us.

[newjerseyhero]

Yeah, I don't think I'm ever going to get used to the being shipped instead of doing the shipping...

[kid_nova]

Of course, I think my mom would actually be happy if I brought home a nice girl. She'd probably think one'd help me get my head on straight.

[newjerseyhero]

I ... don't think my parents would be good with me showing up with a boyfriend right now...

[kid_nova]

Well, that sucks.

[newjerseyhero]

It would suck more if I felt like I was ready for a boyfriend right now. The last... well, that didn't work out too well.

[kid_nova]

Oh? What... what happened?

[newjerseyhero]

He was Inhuman, like me, only he believed in Inhuman superiority. [She gives a hand gestures which means you can guess the rest]

[kid_nova]

Holy crap! That's... Yeah, I can see why that'd put you off dating.

[newjerseyhero]

Yeah... I don't think I mind the shipping so much, just as long as she's not looking to make it happen right now, if that makes any sort of sense?

[kid_nova]

Total sense.

[newjerseyhero]

I really should have seen it coming, y'know? He was a little too perfect.

[kid_nova]

Ugh. That's the worst.

[newjerseyhero]

Really is. But yeah, kind of put me off the dating for a bit. Plus I'm... Being Ms Marvel means way too much to me, and I want to focus on that.

[kid_nova]

I get that. I don't know how the old Nova did it. I can barely handle school, Avenging, and solo-heroing. I'm heading for summer school as it is.

[newjerseyhero]

Don't remind me. They called home to tell my parents about my Math grade dropping.

[kid_nova]

Ugh. That's the worst.

At least my mom knows I'm Nova. But I think that excuse is starting to wear pretty thin.

[newjerseyhero]

Ammi knows, but I don't think she likes the effect it's having on my schoolwork.

[kid_nova]

Yeah, Mom's having the same issue. Dunno what I'm gonna do.

[newjerseyhero]

I guess we need to try to find a better balance...

[kid_nova]

Yeah... I got nothin'

[brave_heart_verity]

I guess what goes around comes around?

[newjerseyhero]

[Does not look happy at this]

It's not fun, being on the receiving end.

[brave_heart_verity]

No, I'm sure it isn't. There's a price, to live the life you want to. And it's ugly sometimes. But everything has a price, you only get to decide what price you're willing to pay.

Stop with the smart, insightful answers

[brave_heart_verity]

Okay.

Just remember they're here when you need them.

[newjerseyhero]

I will.

Thank you, I do mean that.

[brave_heart_verity]

I know. The curse works on sarcasm.

[newjerseyhero]

That's useful that way.

[brave_heart_verity]

I'm trying to make it work for me. That's how optimists do things, right?

[newjerseyhero]

I think so, yeah.

[brave_heart_verity]

You aren't one? I thought that was required for your set.

[newjerseyhero]

Oh no, I am, but I don't know if my way of thinking is the same way everyone else has. Does... does that make sense?

[brave_heart_verity]

Ah. Yeah, that makes sense.

[newjerseyhero]

Okay, good. Always worry I'm not with the sense making.

[brave_heart_verity]

You make sense to me. And if you don't, I'll ask for clarification. It's no big deal.

[newjerseyhero]

One of the reasons you are good people to talk too.

[brave_heart_verity]

Thank you. So're you.

[newjerseyhero]

We're both good people, then. [grin]

[brave_heart_verity]

Yup!

Just don't tell Loki, I don't think I'd be allowed to be his friend anymore if he caught me being too good.

[newjerseyhero]

Don't you have to be good enough to balance out his mischief though?

[Clearly teasing]

Coincidentally, this popped up on Pinterest this morning: http://bit.ly/1SqxrXs

[brave_heart_verity]

Oh, sweetie, I'm only mortal. I can't possibly.

[Is she teasing back? She's grinning, that usually means teasing.]

So awesome

[newjerseyhero]

He is very with the mischief.

[brave_heart_verity]

Yeah. It's his job. Although pointing that out is sometimes the best way to make him stop.
