[Striker is lounging – yes, lounging - in all his resplendent black-and-white finery. What he doesn't look is pleased.]

Come on, this has got to be one of those pocket dimension things Teach's always going on about. But really? He couldn't do better than a giant turtle? Riiiiight. Well, that's Wasp for you. Or is it Giant Man these days? Goliath? Any takers? 4chan never forgets a superhero moniker, it really doesn't matter how dumb it is. Guess they've got him super nailed.

Look, I really don't care about the whole alternate reality bullshit, this is still kidnapping. You can't kick me out of the Academy and then kidnap me, that's practically begging for a How to Catch a Predator exposé. And these computers? Give me a break, they're antiques. Seriously, this is some windows '95 crap on the happen.

Whatever. Either you let me out or you don't. Trust me when I say my lawyers aren't going to make it easy for you one way or another.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Nah, I just know a lot of insecure teenagers, but if you'd rather pretend I think you're a big jerk, go with that.

[Chinhands.]

[you remember that part in the lion king? MOMMMM YOU'RE MESSING UP MY MANE???

that basically describes the look on Brandon's face right now.]

I really don't have to pretend.

[FLIPPANCY: ACHIEVED. Hey, he's a child actor.]

Okay, champ.

[Not buying it even a little.]

So you know Dr. Pym?

[oh thank god a subject change.]

Yeah. He's the head of the Avengers Home For Wayward Supervillains, or whatever.

Okay, I have no idea what you're talking about. I've been...out of touch for a while.

[It's complicated.]

You know. Skrull invasion? Osborn ending up in charge of SHIELD? Ringing any bells?

Yeah, Robbie gave me the basics on that.

[This is not the reaction of someone who was around for Secret Invasion or Dark Reign.]

Let me guess. Magical coma?

Time travel.

Oh yeah. The other big one.

[Yeah he's totally been around that block.

Except not yet by his canon point.

But he can pretend.]

So I never did get your name.

I didn't give it.

[Briefest of pauses.]

Namorita Prentiss.

[She has to introduce herself to someone who knows about Stamford sometime.]

Hey, that kinda sounds like Namor.

[Still oblivious. Sorry, you were before his time.]

[Oh, well, that was easy.]

That probably has something to do with him being my cousin.

Oh crap you're an Atlantean.

[HE'S HEARD STORIES.]

Uh, we can just forget about that comment I made about your, um, breasts. Right? Because I really don't want to get thrown through a wall and aren't you guys like electricity proof or something anyways?

Still want me to think you're a jerk, Sparky?

[You have an electricity nickname now, Brandon. DWI.]

Striker, please. Sparky was like, me at nine on national television.

[ignoring that. other bit.]

[Nope, you're Sparky forever.

Consider yourself lucky; Marvel Boy got stuck with "Super-Tights."]

Ducking the question, Striker.

Well, I am a jerk.

[Okay, that was funny, and she laughs.]

Fine, if knowing I can dropkick you into orbit is what it takes to get you to behave, I'll take it.

It's not like I'd go down without a fight!

Go up without a fight.

[She is winning this conversation so hard.]

[OPEN MOUTH...

close mouth.

open...?

no. close.

He 'hrrmphs']

Fine. Go up without a fight.

[WINNING SO HARD]

So what's your real name? Because I'm pretty much going to call you "Sparky" forever if you don't tell me.

Brandon. It's Brandon.

[She's not computer-illiterate, but she's from like 1992, so all she can do is copy his encryption.]

Hey, Brandon. Call me Nita. Everyone does.

[Genuine smile, just for you.]
