re: ultimates updates and castmates

[webline]

See, I don't know why you're so excited. I might get a significant appearance? I might be the Ultimates? As far as track records go, I've been keeping my head down and I figure it's going to stay that way.

Dealing with wannabe Spider-Man's not withstanding.

If you don't get your hopes up, you won't be disappointed when they're not what you expected. I mean, they're definitely not going to want to bother with me when Captain America comes back. Or when Thor finally shows that rubber-necked backstabber who's boss.

Speaking of which, I better start cleaning house for when the others arrive. I won't be the only Ultimate anymore and maybe it won't seem so weird that I'm on the team when my teammates drop in.

I don't know, just saying.

I wouldn't hold my breath, if I were you.

[webline]

Oh. Hey, other me.

And yeah, pretty much agreeing over here. Maybe it's the whole self-hate thing, but I really don't see why they would care about me to begin with? If they haven't already.

[bornbroken]

_{( awkward ave. )}

Even if you get beyond that, there's the fact what when they do pay attention, it usually doesn't end well for us.

[webline]

Is that a spider thing?

[bornbroken]

I always thought it was a me thing. The other spiders and I don't exactly have a lot in common.

But if it's anything it might be that.

[sonnung]

Vengeance will be sought on the one who felled Asgard.

As for you, I look forward to having a teammate when I arrive.

[ uguu.... so blushing under her mask ]

Yeah, I hope he gets what's coming to him too. But you won't have Mjo -- Myil.... Mjohl.... your hammer thing though, right?

[ a beat ]

T-thanks.

[sonnung]

Mjolnir. [gently corrects!!] No, it is gone from me in a place no mortal may reach, but it is safe.

[Then he smiles.]

But if you are asking if I still have a massive hammer that strikes with lightning? The answer is yes.

[webline]

Cool.

[ p...ause... ]

I like it when you have massive hammers that strike lightning. [ wh ]

[sonnung]

[Laughing in good humor now.]

I am rarely without one to both of our benefit and that of many others. 'Twould be different with a sword, though they are excellent weapons for other reasons.

[douchegod]

You're an Ultimate? My gods, how standards have dropped.

[webline]

[ WOW RUDE

SEE THIS IS WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT ]

I'm already on the team. I know my worth. And I don't need your approval.

[douchegod]

[YOU'RE NOTHING SPECIAL JESS, LOKI IS JUST A DICK.]

Don't worry, I'm not giving it. As for knowing your worth? Your team is full of head cases. I wonder what that says about you....

[webline]

They're not head cases. [ yeah they are ] Neither am I.

[douchegod]

Keep lying to yourself.

[incywincyhero]

Wouldn't that be Spider-Men, technically? Though I guess that could get a little ambiguous in the next few weeks.

[webline]

Potato. Po-tah-toe. Too many spider-dudes in the pot.

[incywincyhero]

You're wounding me to the core, Jess. I don't know how I'll ever recover.

[future_founder]

Oh yes, because he was so successful the first time.

[webline]

Oh my god, can you go?

[future_founder]

Hello to you to, Spider-Woman.

[remake]

Hey!

[webline]

What?

[remake]

What do you think?

[webline]

You should really knock it with the attitude, kid.
