Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!

[beforeyoucanblink]

It's a balmy fifty degrees today, cloudy with a chance of light rain later on. Clearly the Thing To Do is to visit your friendly neighbourhood Avengers Tower to drop in on the Friendly Neighbourhood Speed.

Knock-knock?

"I don't mind if you don't."

Beat.

"I feel really dumb now, cuz I don't even know any of the characters."

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"Where have you been living?"

D:

"Okay," she says, pointing to the screen, "That's..."

Insert rundown of the Star Trek characters to cross the screen here.

:D?

SUBURBIA. POPULATION: LAME.

Tommy's actually attentive, because dude, this is halfway interesting, and if Joy likes it then it doesn't make him too much of a nerd, right?

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

Only as much of a nerd as it makes him.

She might have just broken off an explanation of Data for a gleeful cry of "Moriarty!"

GLEE. She <3s this episode.

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

It's cute!

There may be hair-rufflings between the explanations for Joy. (Some things never change. Bart's/Joy's hair being rufflable is one of them.)

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

She does not mind hair rufflings as much as Bart, tho.

...Ish.

Tolerant anyway.

Snuggles make up for it a lot.

So does Data and Geordi being totally awesome.

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

Tommy snuggles very well, trufax.

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

It is v. true.

Also: the next Star Trek episode is boring and long. Joy woefaces at it.

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

Tommy kisses her gently, and smiles. "Thanks."

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

:D

Joy approves of this kissing thing. 's good stuff.

"What for?"

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

"For imparting secret fandom knowledge on me, obviously," Tommy laughs.

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"Oh.

"Well, it was hard and all, but I think you'll pay off in the long run."

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

"Hope so. Maybe I can even impress the resident nerds."

And clearly this deserves another kiss.

(What? He's missed his kind-of, sort-of speedster-awesome partner/girlfriend.)

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

CLEARLY.

Afterwards: "Which ones're those?"

(D'awwwww. She missed him, too.)

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

(Which is why she came back.)

"The... witch, and the shapeshifter-tank. They're gay, and practically married already, but it's cool. The witch is my magical-brother."

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

(One would hope.)

Amused face! "Makes for an interesting family at least?"

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, totally."

A beat.

"Do you...? You know. Uh.

"Nevermind." >>

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"What?"

Yeah, not-caught-on-yet speedster didn't catch on.

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

"Have a... a family or anything. I mean. You don't have to answer if you don't want to," he adds, not-so-quickly.

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Totally casual shrug. "Somewhere."

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Tommy says, understanding, and hugs her.

He's not exactly the posterchild for sticking with their family, either.

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

MmmmmmTommy hugs! They're grrrrrrrreat!

This is probably change of subject time. ...She's got nothin'.

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

"So, with TV watching accomplished..." he grins. "Anything else you want to do today?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"I dunno. I thought I'd use you for your tv and maybe have my wicked way with you before disappearing into the sunset, to preserve my mystique."

KIDDING.

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

Tommy gasps.

"You wouldn't! Why, I'd be so, like, depressed! I might even have to start listening to Linkin Park."

Not that he didn't go through that phase already shut up
