Hey. Don't be an idiot.

You can barely keep me active in two games already and that combined with work and the fact you never do the stuff you want to means it's a really bad idea to want to put me in another one.

I don't care if Wanda's there, that's not a good excuse to stretch yourself too thin. I'm way too awesome for you to suck at being active with me, okay?

God, will you stop with the pining for me to have a relationship with Wanda? Geez. You're embarrassing yourself. She's probably too busy to notice anyway, so suck it up and do your tags.

Pfft. That's a little dark for you.

[selfhelp]

Call it the voice of experience. Seems like even reality-altering magic has its limits.

I haven't seen you vibrate yourself through the fourth wall, either.

[crotcharrow]

Hard to vibrate through something that's not technically there, you moron.

[selfhelp]

[RUDE 8|]

I don't see you volunteering any ideas.

[crotcharrow]

[Duh.]

I try not to think to hard about it.

[selfhelp]

Yeah... not sure if it's better or worse that we're usually not even aware of it.

[But-but-but brainwashing and mind control and toying with lives and this is not okaaaaaay]

[crotcharrow]

Ugh, me either. Again, really don't want to think about it.

[selfhelp]

So are you going to go? Three games sounds like a lot, but Mom...

[Now he's even tempted 8|]

[crotcharrow]

I dunno. Not sure I want to.

[selfhelp]

Why not? You wanted to look for her before, didn't you?

[crotcharrow]

She's not exactly Mom of the year, is she?

[selfhelp]

Come on, Tommy. We both know that wasn't her fault.

[crotcharrow]

Yeah, whatever. My fault for thinking things would actually change.

[selfhelp]

Sometimes change takes a lot longer to happen than you want it to.

[Though he knows he wasn't any help with the aftermath.]

[crotcharrow]

If you didn't notice, I'm kinda impatient.

[no not really.]

[selfhelp]

Trust me, I've noticed.

[You and Teddy both, gawd. His voice softens, though. He knows it's been hard on Tommy.]

It'll come. She wouldn't abandon us.

[crotcharrow]

[he snorts. There's a part of him that had been excited when they'd gone looking for Wanda and found Magneto. Suddenly he had all this family, who wanted to know who he was, wanted to actually be a part of his life. And now they were gone again. He's kicking himself for getting his hopes up.]

Whatever man. I'm used to not having a mom around. It's not a big deal.

[selfhelp]

...Liar.

[It's a big deal. It's always a big deal. They're just kids, you can't brush aside something like that. And he knows how badly he wanted to be with Wanda, and he still has a mother at home, who loves him and wants him and cares about him. It must be so much worse for Tommy.

Don't have feelings, don't hold hands. Don't care.

Bull.]

You're always going to be stuck with me, you know.

re: the new young avengers book being announced

[crotcharrow]

[He's not expecting the rebuttal. Like, at all. The Billy he's familiar with has said nothing to him over the last few months. Nothing when he told Billy how good the boy had it, how nobody ever injected him or cut him open or tried to turn him into a weapon and he was still being a stupid depressive slump.

It takes him a few moments to regain his composure.]

Yeah.

[he wrinkles his nose. In light of last nights news? He's not too sure.] Like I believe that.

re: that thing that made the fandom explode, you mean

[selfhelp]

[Ah, yes, last night's news. He was wondering when that would come up to bite him in the ass.

He's happy they're getting more stories, but hearing that he's going to screw things up again and that Tommy's fate is unknown for the moment is kind of ruining the excitement.]

Hey, I'm as surprised as you are about it.

PRETTY MUCH

[crotcharrow]

[he puffs up his cheek a little and just scowls.]

So much for 'you're stuck with me forever.'

the waiting will destroy us all

[selfhelp]

Look, maybe- maybe it's a temporary thing. Like you join up later, or you're with the rest of the family-

[Tommy sure seemed to like being with them, so maybe it's... better? As if telling himself that will make the disappointment of potentially losing his soul-bro go away.]

...I don't know. There's a lot of reasons for them to do this.

[He just can't think of any good ones right now.]

it's destroying me fdgkjndhf

[crotcharrow]

[he scowls a little more.]

I can't think of any I'd agree to.

sob that about sums me up right there, so many feels

[selfhelp]

So- what, we're just supposed to spend the next three months constantly worrying about it? They keep saying it'll be explained.

[As long as he's not... you know, dead, or...

...no, he couldn't deal with that. Not after Cassie and Jonas.]

DITTo sob

[crotcharrow]

You got any better ideas?
