selfhelp: ([billy] it's... kind of a brother thing)

[Voice / Action]

[Okay, so. Several things need to be dealt with here, one way or another. First being the fact that he has a facetwin hanging around who is pretty damn hard to explain, though Tommy being more or less okay with the "brother" title helps with that. Second is that he knows the truth about his heritage now, which is, in short, a huge weight off his shoulders. Third is that his strength is mostly back in his arm as long as he doesn't bend or twist it in a way that stresses his brace too much, which admittedly doesn't mean much, but it does mean that he's able to finish the sketches he'd promised to Pepper's art gallery.

Thus, since it's so warm and dry today, he'll be heading out to deliver a set of hefty-sized rolled sheets of drawing paper to Pepper's art gallery, and then to swing by Tony's house to catch up on some work and maybe fill his... sort-of employer in on the recent developments. Mainly the kid with Billy's face who is probably going to hate him for a while. Tommy's not as keen to forgive as some people.

His last stop will be the plaza, armed with a miniature sketchbook, and props himself up against the side of the fountain to draw whatever comes his way. Occasionally he might have to stop and give his hand a frustrated shake, but hey, there's no physiotherapy like a good work-out, right?

At some point while he's out, though, he'll be doing what he told himself he'd get done: a journal entry that is better late than never.]


[Voice, locked from Tommy]

Hey, it's Billy. Just wanted to get it out there that if you see anybody with my face - or hear my voice, I guess - that's Tommy, my... brother. Kind of. It's complicated. He might be a bit tough to deal with sometimes, but he's not a bad guy, so just try to put up with him, if you can. He could use some friends.

[....]

Just don't let this get back to him, I'd never hear the end of it.
shieldsup: (Cool)

Crystal of Attilan, Black Bolt's sister-in-law. Pietro broke her heart. Old news, really.
shieldsup: (Heh)

Pietro is an arrogant jerk. I don't keep up with his love life, but to be honest Crystal gets around just as much as he does. She broke Johnny's heart, same as Pietro broke hers.

[She laughs dryly]</small Really though, Tommy seems like a pretty fun guy.
shieldsup: (You're too kind)

Can't be any worse than Johnny at that age, but I'm afraid you've spoiled me for teenage super-heroes.
shieldsup: (Quirky Smile)

[Voice]

[personal profile] shieldsup 2012-09-20 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, nah, knowing Johnny and Tommy I bet they'd both be like 'I'm way cooler than this weirdo.'

But hey, you're a good kid. You remind me a lot of Kitty when she was younger. Except the whole being a wizard and a boy thing.
shieldsup: (Heh)

[Voice]

[personal profile] shieldsup 2012-09-21 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, witch.

[She laughs]

Hey, from what I know? You're doing better than the X-Men when they first started out. Kang...that guy's weird. And you've handled things here very well. This is a messed up situation, but you guys have a good handle on it.


But whats the deal with Tommy anyway? Just...super-speed?
shieldsup: (Looking Back)

[There is a reason she's called the soul of the Fantastic Four. She's the peacemaker, the one that keeps everyone from killing each other]

That sounds like it could be useful. Though, maybe a little difficult to control.
shieldsup: (Empathetic)

How long has he been using it?
shieldsup: (Vulnerable)

[Voice]

[personal profile] shieldsup 2012-09-24 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm, yea that would fit then.

[She pauses]

Its good to know everything turns out alright, with the war and stuff. Teddy told me a bit.
shieldsup: (Let me help you Psychoman)

[Voice]

[personal profile] shieldsup 2012-09-26 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Ditto. I can sleep a lot better, knowing Frank and Val make it through OK, and that the Fantastic 4 get back together. That...wasn't a good thing to think about, especially here.
shieldsup: (Neutral Smile)

[Voice]

[personal profile] shieldsup 2012-09-27 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely. Just gotta focus on actually getting there, or taking enough of a vacation while we are stuck here.
shieldsup: (Raised Eyebrow)

[Voice]

[personal profile] shieldsup 2012-09-28 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Its better than the kind of vacation that's sunny and fabulous and then Victor Von Doom and Harvey Elder turn up to wreck it all, though.

[A merry laugh]

Not fond of the experiments, or the missions, or the drafts, but you've gotta admit, at least there aren't a lot of bad people here.
shieldsup: (Wistful)

[Voice] Hope this isn't too hammy an ending, I gotta close out some threads though =O

[personal profile] shieldsup 2012-09-29 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Idle hands, Billy. Idle hands...

[She pauses, and there's something of a gasp as she realizes just how late the time was]

Hey, I've got some boxing lessons to get to with Mac. I'll see you later kiddo.
