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.

Comments

[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?

[crotcharrow]

[HRUMPH he folds his hands and just huffs over here because god.]

[assguardian]

I don't know, he just—

I'm trying to help but nooo he has to be manly and dead inside and—

[He wishes he had the words to articulate how much he just wants to fucking brohug.]

Why can't I hold all these bittyvengers ;A;

[doesthemath]

[She puts a hand on Billy's shoulder, offers a small smile.]

I doubt he's dead inside but you might as well get used to it. It runs in the family.

[Wanda glances back to Tommy then.]

And it won't hurt to lean on family every once in a while if you need to.

[Not that she has any idea of what's going on but Wanda knows firsthand how much it helps to have at least one family member to depend on.]

I WANT TO HOLD THEM ALL OH MY GODDD

[crotcharrow]

[yeah, for someone who's 'dead on the inside' Tommy looks a little hurt by that comment. He tries to hide it when the focus is directed back on him, and huffs, looking at the floor.]

Nobody ever cared about me. Why would anyone start now?

THEY ARE SUCH BABIES DKJFGDKLFHF

[assguardian]

[HE JUST REALLY WANTS TO PUNCH YOU RIGHT NOW, GD IT.]

[doesthemath]

[Oh, that look, Tommy. Don't break her heart making that face.]

Why wouldn't they? Would it be such a bad thing if someone did?

[crotcharrow]

[Tommy scowls and is looking like he's had ENOUGH AND IS DONE WITH THIS be careful he's probs going to bolt in a minute]

I dunno, they just don't.

[assguardian]

I care. You just never seem like you want me to.

[doesthemath]

Would it be so bad if we did?

[Wanda's tone was oddly gentle as she repeats herself, and she takes half a step toward Tommy, offering him tentative a smile.

She hadn't wanted to be so specific, but it was hard to remain distant and impartial in light of who and how they were.]
