[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.

You better be at my funeral.

[Early 2000s. WHAT AM TWITTER.]

[sharpes]

Alas, poor Ororo. I knew her, Horatio?

Whoaaa, highschool drama moment. Gimme a sec.

I think you're 160 characters away from becoming a parody of yourself. [Steph that doesn't make sense.]

audio;

[storm_warning]

[She laughs.]

Classy.

[sharpes]

Oh good. I don't have to declare you off limits as per a lack of technological savvy.

audio;

[sharpes]

I try.

[His tone is so smug.]

So what've you been up to, babe?

audio;

[storm_warning]

The same old drill. Avoiding trouble, getting snared into it, and saving the day a couple times. [Ah, the tough life of a teenaged superhero.] Here I thought I could hang up the whole superhero mantle. I was kind of hoping to.

audio;

[sharpes]

What? Why?

[BUT YOU'RE LIKE ONE OF THE GREATEST HEROES OF ALL TIME...

does not compute, bleep bleep.]

audio;

[storm_warning]

Because that's not really my scene? [Okay, so maybe she enjoys a bit of the fame, and helping people's always good, but...] It's so melodramatic.

audio;

[sharpes]

[He snorts.]

Well yeah. You think the spandex is just for show? It's just as much image as it is... you know, everything else. Saving people. Whatever.

audio;

[storm_warning]

It'd be nice if we didn't have to do it all, don't you think? This whole PR nightmare gets rough on top of messes like Magneto.

[How does 'normal' life?]

audio;

[sharpes]

I won't say being normal wouldn't have its perks, but honestly? Being centre-stage is so much more awesome.

Oh, and Magneto's a good guy now. At least in my timeline. Until the next time he goes crazy and tries to, I don't know, de-molecularize the world or something.

audio;

[storm_warning]

You ever find a downside in anything? [Can you hear the smile in her tone? It's there, underneath the raised eyebrow.]

Weird. He's dead back home. The professor killed him when he went after the president. That's kind of what really kicked off the mutant PR movement.

audio;

[sharpes]

Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm a glass-half-empty sort of guy. There just isn't a lot of point in fighting against something you can't see.

[or that you can't fight back against.]

Oh come on. Like that ever sticks.

Jean Grey's done that shtick to death. At least every other Tuesday.

audio;

[storm_warning]

Jean? Yeah, right. Marvel Girl might make us think it as a joke, but for real? [L-O-L.]

Sounds like someone hacked the unlimited lives cheatcode where you live. Or is messing with you.

audio;

[sharpes]

Dead serious. Seriously, ask Nita.

[She's had to have been around for at least one of JG's 'episodes', right?]

Dude, one of my professors is keeping the essence of his dead wife in a state of suspended animation in the basement of my school. That's just. How it goes.

[demon_brat]

Wouldn't that require properly networked mobiles, though? Twitter is kind of pointless without the ability to update [air quotes] away-from-keyboard. Or at least from an app.

video;

[sharpes]

Yeah, and? I know Tony Stark's around here somewhere. He could do that in his sleep.

video;

[demon_brat]

But he hasn't.

video;

[sharpes]

He's probably shacked up with a playboy bunny or something. Trust me, as soon as he realizes his iStark doesn't work he'll be all over that.

video;

[demon_brat]

[...that? Actually amuses Damian.]

Wow. If he hasn't yet, that's so promising.

video;

[sharpes]

[snot-nosed punks? so passe.]

Hey, I don't pretend to understand the whims of billionaires.

video;

[demon_brat]

[And yet so currently real.]

Then how can you be so sure in what he would do?

video;

[sharpes]

It's an Avengers thing.

[more like a celebrity crush thing, but let's not go there.]

video;

[demon_brat]

[Idly, with perfect, flawless there is no way possible in which you could impress me, but you are welcome to try delivery...]

Oh? What is that?

[... which, Damian has some idea - network stalking is a thing with him, after all - but.]
