So you're back? You know this dropping and picking up is really messin' with my insane abandonment issues. You remember right? Since you wrote me in with--

[Fox pauses, looks down and just sorta stares up and down herself for a moment.]

-- I have boobs.

I have boobs. I-- have a very weirdly inaccurate memory of my precious childhood. I--
[Her eyes narrow.]

Oh my god. I've been fuckin' rewritten haven't I? You fuckin' rewrote me! What happened to the original background? You know how hard it is to be a deficient superhero in a world that has Deadpool? I can't top that! Can't top it!

I'm basically the Human-Fuckin'-Torch with two X Chromosomes and about as much control as the Hulk-- [Another pause. Another narrowing of eyes.] So that's where you got the bright idea you... you sadist! Plagiarist sadist. A- A plagsadist!

Good to see my sense of humor hasn't improved either. Great. Ya know what. We are done talking. This post is getting really teal deer and we are done talkin'.

[Someone knows a thing or two about being a somewhat deficient super hero in a world that has Deadpool.]

Could be worse. You could be a ☠☠☠☠ Captain Kerosene knock off.

[backdraft]

Shit, now you have me wondering. Far as I know I can't fly though. Damn shame. Musta traded it for the heat immunity.

[She takes a moment to light a cigarette with her thumb.]

I take it you got landed with some straight up bullshit too? I tried to tell them "Ohhh a loser hero with a mouth? Never see those around" but do they care? Nope.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Yeah, we're about a dime a ☠☠☠☠ dozen. Captain Kerosene is supposedly some old-timey hero. Like the Torch, but more powerful or something. I don't know, all I know is they got on my case for trying to use that name.

So, what name did you end up with anyways?

[backdraft]

[She doesn't usually break the fourth wall (totally doesn't have that power), but in this case she gestures up to the username with her cigarette.] Backdraft. Crap right? Frickin Ron Howard movie. Though I didn't pick it. Friend of mine thought it fit. I prefer Fox. Before now I was Elliot Fox, but I guess my mun thought Kate Mara was prettier than Garrett Hedlund.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Now you just got to hope those names aren't taken and you don't get sued.

I'm The Captain, so I know what you're going through there. My mun is just a sucker for dead beats.

[mybrainfails]

For you, honey? I'd let ya top.

[Nailed it.]

How charming.

[GET OUT]

[mybrainfails]

Aww, don't be that way.
I know my sheer aura of unabashed awesome can be off putting, but I wouldn't hold your "OCness" against ya.

I'll hold something way more fun against ya.
[It is hard to wink through the mask but he does it. Oh he does it.]
Damn straight I do.

[backdraft]

Did you miss the part where I called you deficient?

[firegodrockstar]

[Applause, applause for you!]

Have to admit, 'plagisadist' is one hell of a word.

[smash_stuff]

...I feel I ought to be insulted but I'm not entirely sure about it.

[More confused than insulted.]

[backdraft]

Oh god, awkward.

[Human Torch? She isn't so worried about offending him. Whole rage monster green thing-- wow more insulting. Fox clears her throat.]

It's the-- emotional and physical thing really. Get angry or- yeah you know the heart rate going or things like that and it kinda cat-ca... catalysts? Catalysts the thing. The "flame on".

[She pauses and then blurts.]

I basically lose my mind and burn things. NooffensemeantIswear.

[backdraft]

I'm a bit proud of myself, I have to confess.

[Torch and Banner? Now she is just feeling down right shy. Good grief.]

Still can't fly though. You get that credit.
[Applause for him!]

[smash_stuff]

[Bruce has no idea who this is so he's less likely to be insulted in that respect. He rubs the back of his neck with a sad half smile.]

It's understandable, don't worry, okay? [If anyone would understand, it would be Bruce.] Just...have we met?

[backdraft]

Can superheroes sue other superheroes? Isn't there like-- a dozen "Captain" something-something-fancy out there? Sheesh.

Anyway, seems like Backdraft isn't taken and even if it weren't I don't have much worth taking.

[She considers for a moment.]

Well, unless they want the trailer and the life time supply of frozen dinners.

[backdraft]

Before today I wasn't even from your-- "world". Don't ask. That means no though I am um, Fox.

[Handshake? No handshake? She flits between extending an arm and not at least three times before deciding sure why not. Handshake.]

I was a dude before today too. Wow, tmi sorry. It's just been weird.

[smash_stuff]

[Bruce knows people tend to walk on eggshells around him, sometimes that was irritating. But she seems so worried...and strange handshake, it almost didn't happen.]

That sounds...pretty weird.

[And he feels the need to clarify.] If you're looking to change that back, I'm not that kind of doctor.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Yeah, they can apparently. Or threaten you. I had to pay someone just to keep The Captain. Seriously, I've tried everything.

And they might not get anything out of you, but they'll put you in debt for life. Nothing's worse than being a poor super hero. It doesn't pay well and it's not like taking a second job every works.

[stormy_skrull]

You're not... like, literally the Human Torch, are you? 'cause that's my dad.
