Alex is dating Northstar.

Yes, really.

Comments

Yes, but they tend to editorialize. I read a whole blog about how something I recently did was my "only true superhero moment" in years. The internet here, like there, does not care for me.

[nola_quicksilver]

Do you want me to read them? And of course you're a true superhero, fuck them.

[nola_cyclops]

I don't care about their commentary, but I also don't want to read it. And I don't want you to have to read these things. You shouldn't have to.

[nola_quicksilver]

But I probably won't take it to heart the same way you do.

[nola_cyclops]

I'm not so sure.

[nola_quicksilver]

Fine, do what you're going to do.

[nola_cyclops]

Oliver.

[nola_quicksilver]

I'm going outside to scream.

[nola_cyclops]

Hey.

[nola_quicksilver]

Yes?

[nola_cyclops]

I'm not brushing off your help.

[nola_quicksilver]

I understand.

[nola_cyclops]

You worry so much about me that I think if you were looking at these things -- aside from the generally awful feeling that comes with seeing our people like this -- you'd be distressed. I can't in good conscience hand something like that to you to give myself some relief. I don't want to cause you that kind of pain. I think you're right that we should just stop engaging, and that's my plan. So will you do that with me? I just don't want to watch you suffer.

[nola_quicksilver]

Of course I will. I'm sorry I freaked out. I was arguing with Seth at the same time I was talking to you and it all hit me at the same time.

[nola_cyclops]

It's okay! I'm here with you, I hear you. What's going on with Seth?

[nola_quicksilver]

We just kept misinterpreting each other and getting defensive. I don't think we're meant to be best pals. Sorry if that makes Thanksgiving awkward or something.

[nola_cyclops]

You're describing me and Alex, basically. It'll be fine. Maybe you're like magnets, you speedsters repel each other.

[nola_quicksilver]

You don't repel me. I love you, Sam.

[nola_cyclops]

I love you too, very very much. And I think I understand you. I'll always try to.

[nola_quicksilver]

Two verys, I'm honored. And you gave me the patience I need, so that's a good sign.

[nola_cyclops]

Grammatically, I can't give you more than two, but my heart is full of verys.

[nola_quicksilver]

My heart is just full of you.

[nola_cyclops]

Let's keep it that way.

[nola_quicksilver]

You never need to worry about that.

[nola_cyclops]

For the rest of your life, you said.
