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?

Course they don't. That would be silly and unmanly.

You know what else is clearly unmanly? Shamelessly gleeful grins like the one Joy has right now. Good thing she's not a man, then!

"You weren't too busy saving the city?"

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

"Not too busy," he admits. "The city's been pretty... slow."

He pauses, like he's forgetting something. "Sorry. You, uh, want to come in?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

Only if he left the movie on.

"Sure."

:D

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

He flipped it to Spike and turned it off.

"Be my guest," Tommy says, ushering her in.

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

Sneeeeeaky.

Ever-present backpack is dumped onna convenient floorspace. "What've you been doing to relieve the boredom, then?"

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

"Uh. Watching TV, attempting to fight crime... checking out the sights? Not much, really."

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"That's lame."

Stealing a seat now, mkay.

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well. It's been a slow week."

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"So.

"You wanna do something?"

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

"Sure. You got anything in mind?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"Not really."

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

"Hmm. Well. Um. Everyone else is gone, it's raining, and there's cable... how does couch-cuddling sound?"

Tommy is vereh doubtful. If only because he doesn't really know Joy.

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

Mock considering: "Weeeeeeell okay."

:D

>>

"You're totaly a sap, you know that?"

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

"What! Am not! It just seemed like... something that'd be a good idea?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

Amused face.

And she pats the couch cushion next to her.

:D?

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

Tommy's already there. HA.

"Soooo." He hands her the remote--LOOK HOW SENSITIVE HE IS. "Pick your poison?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

THEN JOY IS ALREADY SNUGGLING INTO HIM.

HAH.

...Ooooooh, "Elementary Dear Data" is on.

"Oh, Dude, I love this one."

:D, Tommy?

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

:D!

"I fell asleep toward the beginning of the Trek marathon... I've never really watched it before."

But he will for the womenz.

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

:O

"This episode, or the show?"

D:

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

"...the show?"

>

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

D: D: D:


"...We're gonna be here a while."

[quicksilverfast.livejournal.com]

"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.
