[Brandon looks, for all intents and purposes, bored as hell.]

You know what this place really needs?

[Bit of a pause. Purely for dramatic effect, you understand. He is an actor.]

Twitter.

And if you have to ask me what that is, you're seriously dead to me. Like. Don't even try.

Sounds busy.

[... after a moment, and almost as if he's prompted by some outside force (otherwise known as his brain) he speaks again,]

I never had one either. A real job. Like. Same thing.

[He waves a hand.]

I guess it was? I never really noticed.

[Superhuman endurance and the world's most indefatigable personality. It's a lot easier not to get overwhelmed when next to nothing tires you out, physically or emotionally.]

But you're, like, 16. A lot of surface teenagers don't work.

[They go to school like on Welcome Back, Kotter!]

[He grimaces.]

Seventeen. And I mean-- I've been in showbiz since I was, I dunno, like a toddler or something. But I've never flipped... you know, burgers.

[Her mistake.]

That helps explain the attitude.

[She's actual royalty and she's not as much of a diva as you are, dude.]

What, the age or the occupation?

[... he's actually a little hurt by her comment but like hell is he showing it because Reasons.]

[He's lucky he's an actor or Nita would catch him.

And then apologize for hurting his feelings.

Brandon, you are really only screwing yourself here.]

The job. That whole [she waves one hand around] Johnny Storm vibe you've got.

[A future version of her dated Johnny, so it's a compliment. Mostly.]

I am way cooler than Johnny Storm, thanks. The Fantastic Four are so last year, anyway.

[... wait she's really overprotective of Richards, does that extend to the rest of them, too?]

-- I mean, they're cool I guess. But not my crowd.

[She sees what you did there, Brandon. And appreciates the non-jerk effort you're putting into this.]

Apparently in a couple years I'm gonna date him. ...Except not anymore.

[Time travel.

Also come on Johnny Storm is a total hunk, Brandon.]

The Four have been my friends since way back. I'm pretty sure Namor asked Doc Richards to check up on me when I was living on the surface.

[He wrinkles his nose.]

Time travel, huh? It's a bitch.

[But also: nbd. Because comics.

And he might be a hunk but Brandon is so far in the closet he's not even going to remotely come close to admitting it thanks.]

I thought they didn't get along? Or was that just the Sue thing?

It's a little more complicated than that. But basically.

[Moving on, 'cause who cares beyond the inconvenience, right? Nita makes a face because Namor your conduct is unbecoming.]

Uh, they've been mostly okay with each other for a while now, unless things changed while I was gone. Namor never really disliked Dr. Richards. He's just...stubborn.

[Understatement of the millennium.]

I don't even want to hear it.

[No really. The world is complicated enough as it is.]

Namor. The first mutant. Stubborn? You don't say.

People are shocked when I tell them, I know.

[She can do sarcasm, too.]

I feel like you should write a dramatic exposé on this topic. For strictly educational purposes.

[Namor probably wouldn't maroon her on an island for it or anything, right? Is that even a punishment to an Atlantean? What would be a punishment to an Atlantean?]

[Banishment, usually. It stings less when you can just move into the Baxter Building if you ask. In Nita's case, it would take approximately a day until Namor started feeling guilty, and a week until he swallowed his pride and reversed the edict. (Less if Sue called and yelled at him.)]

I am loyal to the throne, you know. I don't want to just give away sensitive information like that.

That's what pseudonyms are for, duh.
