[He snorted. The only one his age was Ororo. She didn't seem the type.]

Not likely. No point in living with yer girlfriend and wife if yer not sharing the same bed, right?

Yeah, I'm... not sure that matters all that much. Apparently people woke up in some strange circumstances.

Yeah? What's yours?

[Ugh, is this what coming out to your parents is like?]

I woke up with another guy.

An' here I thought I had it bad.

[He almost feels pity for his... son. Waking up with another guy is the sort of thing that would probably prompt Logan to kill.]

Well, it wasn't bad. He was good-looking, and actually a really nice guy once we got the memory loss thing sorted out. It was just kind of awkward.

You make it sound like you didn't mind him being there.

[....yep, a w k w a r d]

Well... I didn't, really.

[Eyebrow.]

So you're gay?

That's what my card says, and I'm pretty sure it's right.

[He should probably be nervous about this, coming out to his potential dad, but he really can't be assed to freak out. They don't know anything for sure, and... well. Maybe he already knows, in reality?]

Huh. [He looks Billy over. Then he shrugs.] Well, if that's what does it for ya.

[huh, indeed. Billy glances sidelong at Logan, brow lifting, but doesn't question it. It would be a dumb thing to question, especially when it's pleasantly surprising.]

What'd your card say, anyway?

It don't mention you. [He snorts and pulls his out. But he's not handing it over yet.] Not directly, anyway. You got a thing for actin', kid?

Acting?

[That... is a very out-of-nowhere question. Well, as long as we're being random-]

Not unless people get to take drama classes in prison.

... prison? [Now that was some back story.]

Mm. [Billy sighs quietly and passes over his card. He shrugged off the gay thing, might as well share the rest. Maybe it'll help answer some questions.] Apparently I'm an escaped convict. I'm thinking I'm a compulsive comic book thief.

[Is that enough drama for your show, "Dad"?]

... hell of a thing to get locked up for, kid. And hard to believe. My kid's an ex-con comic book junkie.

[Sounds like sitcom material to him.]

I can't think of anything else I could've done to get myself locked up. I don't exactly look the part of a criminal do I?

[Awfully scrawny for an inmate. Plus, you know, the whole underage thing.]

Not really. [A pause.] 'course, my card says yer just acting.

...Acting? Like, "I love you but only when the camera's rolling"? Did we all forget this is a movie or something?

[As if his life-or-fake-life wasn't complicated enough.]
