Seriously? Seriously? We're writing things based on TV Tropes now?

I'm not that much of a nerd despite what everyone else thinks, having some dignity left would be nice.

[crotcharrow]

Neither.

[assguardian]

I think you mean both.

But seriously, Tommy - can't you get Kate to, I don't know, decent up your costume a bit?

[crotcharrow]

If you're so concerned about it you ask her to redesign my costume.

[assguardian]

...You know, maybe I will. She'll probably agree and give you a cape too.

We could match, hooray.

[crotcharrow]

Do you want me to choke and die?

[assguardian]

You could always throw it off dramatically.

[crotcharrow]

What, and look like a massive homo like you? No thanks. Capes are stupid.

[assguardian]

Oh, for— Well, at least I have a boyfriend.

[crotcharrow]

Well, good thing for you that I'm straight, because if I wasn't, you wouldn't have one.

[assguardian]

[Belatedly it strikes him that that might not have been a good thing to tell Tommy, way to go Kaplan.]

...You'd probably be better at it than me, anyway.

[crotcharrow]

[YOU THINK?? And Tommy is not playing into this pity party]

Damn straight I'd be better than you! For one, I don't go running off and try and get myself killed in the middle of the night!

[assguardian]

I wasn't gonna— Getting caught wasn't part of the plan, Tommy, I was supposed to get back before you guys even figured it out!

[crotcharrow]

Yeah, yeah, whatever, I don't actually care.

[assguardian]

[Just catching his face in his hands here.]

Why can't you ever just say what's wrong and—

You can't possibly not care.

[crotcharrow]

Too bad, I don't.

[assguardian]

Why can't you just accept feelings like normal people?

[crotcharrow]

What part of me is normal?

[assguardian]

Do you have a tail, Tommy?

[doesthemath]

[Hello, bittyvengers. It's your not!Mom, and she's only caught the last bit of this conversation.]

You are normal, for a mutant.

[And Tommy you are like a tiny Pietro so Wanda sees no problems with this whatsoever.]

[crotcharrow]

[he opens his mouth to say something, and then shuts it, because what just happened.]

Not really.

[assguardian]

[It's like being sent to the corner by Mother Dearest, erm.]

Tommy's a dick.

[doesthemath]

[Nothing much, Tommy. Time and reality bent and now you get to deal with an alternate version of your mom.]

Don't let Quicksilver hear that.

[She looks at Billy then.]

And there isn't much dignity in name-calling.

[crotcharrow]

[BILLY I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL PUNCH YOU]

[gonna ignore that bit about quicksilver though, in favour of Billy.]

Yeah. Asshole.

[assguardian]

See, he's not any better!

[Billy's blowing his cheeks up and just. Ugh, what is life. WHAT IS LIFE.]

It's not like— I mean— He makes everything hard.

[doesthemath]

[Have a look. Yeah, she's not even the right version of your mom and she's got the expression of frustrated disappointment down.]

Stop it, both of you.

[She looks to Billy.]

What exactly is he making hard?
