Hey, he's not gonna--

Dude! Oh, come on! Look, if I came back, you know he's gonna, right?

I don't even know why you care so much. He's such a lameass, I am WAY more awesome. I even-- check it-- I've got the ~COSMIC CONTROL ROD~

Yeah.

So get over it.

Please?

Look, at least ... don't tell Franklin, in that other corner of your head.

...Thanks, bro.

Thank you ever so much for your lack of concern here Storm. It's really touching.

[All the sarcasm Johnny. All of it]

[flamebrain]

I started a betting pool for how long before you come back. Also, method of return. Ooh, I sure hope zombie doesn't win.

[arach_nerd]

It's not like you'd have anything to be worried about. You don't have a brain to eat.

[flamebrain]

Oh, yeah? At least my head's not just full of webs.

[arach_nerd]

No, it's just full of hot air.

It might not be a fixed point. We could go back and keep it from happening.

[No, Val.]

[flamebrain]

You think?

...maybe it's not a good idea. Time travel is the worst.

[smarterthandad]

It was recent enough that we wouldn't be altering much in the present. Dad has the specs for Uncle Doom's time machine, and I can keep track of the timeline changes. I learned from Grandpa.

[It is in fact a terrible idea.]

[flamebrain]

Wellll ... if anyone's smart enough to outwit Doc Ock, I guess it's you or your dad.

How can you tell if it's a fixed point? I must have skipped that class.

[smarterthandad]

[Johnny, no, you're supposed to be the adult here.]

He's not that smart.

[Val is kind of offended, okay. Anyway.]

I'm not sure there's a way. Grandpa would know, or maybe Dad or Uncle Doom...

[None of whom are here, and all of whom would march Val off for a time-out for trying this.]

[flamebrain]

[ what is adulthood

Johnny raises his hands in a 'stop right there' gesture. ] Your dad would say a big "HELL NO" to any of this, I guarantee. Well, if he swore. And I have a feeling Doom's not too fond of our pal Spidey, so he's out, too.

Your grandpa... [frown] Well, he's not here. If we do anything, we've gotta do it ourselves.

[ohmygod worst team up]

[itym "best"

On the bright side (from where Val's standing, at least) when Reed and Sue find out, Johnny's going to be the one who takes the heat. So to speak. Though Val will probably get grounded again for taking advantage of the fact Johnny has no common sense.]

Dad only says no when it's not his idea.

[She has Reed's number there, let's be honest.]

We have to be in the lab for me to break into his files. He upped the network security since the last time I did it.

[He is a total party-pooper.]

Dad...? Somebody killed Petey...?
