[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.

[Honestly, it's a relief. The idea of all the stuff he and the rest of the Young Avengers have done being widespread and publicized is... terrifying. And he'll definitely be doubling up on his trips to the library for comics, just in case.
Oh god, how does he tell Teddy? Should he?]

[Oh, uh. Wow, it's been a while since someone asked so blatantly.]
Well- it's kind of- ...situational. It's not like I broadcast it. Um- here-
[He's not really sure what to do on the fly, but he sets his sketchbook down, cupping his hands together and drawing upon his magic. He doesn't mind showing off to a... fan (holy crap they have fans, sort of)... but it doesn't make this any less awkward. Blue lightning sparks around his fingers, though, because he feels like being nice.]
Like that?
action;
So, he's good with that.]
Cool. It looks better in person. The special effects here are great.
action;
[Still weird, but admittedly it's getting a little fun. I remembers the initial terror and shock at watching Teddy's ability at work, and even if it just feels natural now, there'd been the same surreal experience when it had first manifested. This is kind of nostalgic.]

Maybe they already do. That would explain a lot.

That sounds like a pretty solid summary, actually. Welcome to Luceti.

[The thought still makes him shudder.]

So I'm going to miss the season premier of Mad Men?

I hope they have the DVDs. I can probably tide myself over with re-runs.

[That's beyond a doubt, really.]
action;
Well, there you go. Pick a few favourites and watch them every now and then. It really makes a difference.
action;
Thank you for your sagely advice on television, Billy Kaplan.

[It's only fair, since apparently this guy's read all about his life.
...still weird, that.]

There's other superheroes here? Which others?
[...could the Caped Crusader possibly be among them?]
action;
[And then he starts listing them one by one, because he is a weird fanboy stalker like that.]
