I blame plurk

[invisible_woman]

Will you just stop already? It's getting embarrassing for both of us.

If you are so shamelessly attracted to him, you go after him. I highly doubt he is going to want to be involved with me after he's been involved with her.

I'll pretend you never said anything if you will, ok?

Do I even wanna know what'cher talkin' about there Suzie-Q?

[invisible_woman]

She's going on again about Namor and how we are meant to be. Nothing I can't handle I'm sure.

[And now with the Frost development....well...she might even be a little bit jealous.]

[ever_lovin]

[After serious eye rolling.]

No offense Sue, but I don't think any gal would be anythin' but second fiddle ta Fishlip's ego. You'd be the only one who had a chance though.

[invisible_woman]

He's not that bad, I've seen sides of him that...

Never mind, it's a moot point, what's important is that is isn't going to happen no matter how much she wishes for it.

[mordantwit]

You're both exceptional women, Mrs. Richards, but I doubt Namor will ever stop adoring you.

Nor, however, will Reed - however dreadful he may be at expressing it.

[invisible_woman]

Reed is, well I don't have to tell you that his mind tends to function along higher lines. He's brilliant, it's what had me following him and daddy around when I was a girl. Lately it's been different though, I don't know.

They are both exceptional men, I'm lucky to know them.

[mordantwit]

One can be brilliant in some ways and foolish in others. [Trust him he knows.]

Perhaps if you speak with him? ...Tony could find some way to strap him down for an hour. [He's teasing. Mostly.]

[invisible_woman]

Yes, that is very true. Reed has often overlooked the mundane in favor of grand work. Forrest for the trees sort of man.

I doubt even Tony could lock him down more than ten minutes before they started discussing Reed's lately project.

[bunny_battery]

Dare I ask, Mrs. Richards?

[invisible_woman]

You may dare, that doesn't mean you'll like the answer. My mun believes the unrequited thing between Namor and I should be requited.

[bunny_battery]

Uh... ew?

Better not let Franklin hear your mun thinking that.

[invisible_woman]

He's not ew. He's just...

No, I think I can keep her quiet about it. I don't want to upset Franklin.

[bunny_battery]

Good to hear. Girl's got to watch out for her boyfriend, you know.

[invisible_woman]

I'm sorry, your what?

[You'll have to forgive poor Sue, this is news to her. Be gentle.]

[bunny_battery]

Hmm? We've been going out for about a year now.

[firegodrockstar]

...Seriously, Sis?

Throwing aside you actually feeling jealous over Cheaty McDominatrix Frost, who frankly can't hold a frozen candle to you- you're actually pining for the guy who tried kidnapping you three times a week, as well as always claims the bathroom 'In the name of Atlantis! IMPERIUS WHINE!' for HOURS on end when he visits?

Especially considering all the other girls he goes for, including his cousin and worse? Please say you're joking.

And if you're not, you never get to bug me about my taste in women ever again.

[invisible_woman]

I'm not jealous!

I mean I have no reason to be, I'm married to Reed, happily married. And what Namor does is his own choice and he's a grown man..Atlantian who is perfectly capable of making his own decisions....even the wrong ones.

I don't know, there will always be something there I guess, some...powerful, animal, magnetic attraction.

And just because I have thoughts doesn't make me anywhere in league with your love life little brother!

[firegodrockstar]

Animal att-

Sue, I'm seriously beginning to think you need counseling. For Stockholm Syndrome. You're a grown woman with two kids and you're acting like the kid from the Twilight books! Oh, and if at any point Namor 'bonds' with little Val, he's getting his fishy ass kicked right then and there.

But the issue here is you. Yes, Reed can be a pain in the ass but you knew that when you married him! Just like you knew he wasn't a psychotic goon who allies with Vic every third week.

And at least the girls I get involved with aren't scruffy hobos my sibling pulled off the street! For that matter, even when I'm dating alien spies-turned-supervillains, they reform. When's the last time Nammy did anything to help regular people out without needing to be bribed by potentially breaking up a relationship?
