Avengers Academy presents, homeless and looking!

Man, you act like being photogenic is a bad thing. Those icons aren't gonna make themselves.

Now here's the deal. You wanna drop me in a game? Sure, fine, whatever, have fun, can't be any worse than some places I've been. Two requirements. I want a generous timeshare in the limelight, and let's say-- six hot chicks to cater to my every whim. At least six. Harems are the new black.

Also - no Survivor. Just putting that out there.

Can you not?

[A LITTLE EXPLOSIVELY.]

Ugh, I never should have brought it up. Whatever. Forget it.

[ Blink blink. Frown. ]

...I was trying to point out the benefits.

[ YOU WANT TO BE A MEDIA GLORY HOG, STRIKER. THIS WOULD GET YOU ALL OVER TMZ. IS THIS NOT THE DESIRED GOAL. WHAT DID SHE DO WRONG. ]

[blackandlight]

I know the benefits.

[did he snap that? maybe a little.]

This is personal. It's nobody's business. I don't want to be 'the gay Avenger'. It's not my entire goddamn identity.

[because if he's 'the gay avenger', then eventually someone's going to do some digging, and some wondering, and it'll end up being 'the Avenger that was abused as a kid' and--

that. yeah. no.]

I doubt your orientation would overshadow your ego or attitude or abilities, or any other of your varying traits. Dr. Pym has is not known as the domestic abuse Avenger, or Quicksilver as the mutant Avenger.

[ Seriously hard thought is put into this before she speaks again. ]

I think the entire span of time spent at the Academy shows that one thing in a person's life does not have to overshadow everything else that person does. That we can be more.

[ ...holy crap was that actually SMART and TACTFUL???? WHAT IS THIS SORCERY ]

[blackandlight]

[... okay. yeah.

he gives her a look that's. mildly grateful.]

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

[ex_proficiency766]

I usually am. I could provide statistics to prove it.

Way to ruin the moment, Finesse. Here we are, bonding, and you have to bring the whole 'best at everything' thing into it.

[ex_proficiency766]

But it's true. Why should any strengthening of our relationship be retarded by the simple facts?
