For their part, the Avengers did an admirable job at trying to deal with the Kree and the Skrulls, and their equal insistance that Teddy needed to come along or they'd play out a second war on the Avengers' turf. Captain America was adamant that the only fair option was for Teddy to stay where he was, on Earth, and it seemed like that option would work, right up until one of the Kree tried to shoot him, and Eli pushed Captain America out of the way, taking the blast instead.

Clearly, Teddy's special brand of stupid had become contagious.

It was only slightly surprising when Tommy chose to be a superhero, given the options Eli had offered, and it was only slightly surprising when Tommy's abilities proved to be majorly useful in rescuing Teddy from the Super-Skrull.

It had been a lot more surprising when the people who successfully got the Super-Skrull off their backs via a well-placed blaster shot turned out to be the Kree, and it had been even more surprising when they'd also claimed Teddy as their own. There was a Romeo and Juliet joke just waiting to be made once the threat of a second Kree-Skrull war on Earth was over, but it didn't seem like that was going to happen any time soon.

It had been very surprising when the Super-Skrull turned out to not be dead, and jumped in front of Teddy to protect him from the blast of a Kree warrior's gun, and it had been very surprising when Teddy insisted on taking the Super-Skrull with them as they tried to escape, because he'd saved Teddy's life or some similar nonsense that Billy didn't understand but didn't have time to argue about, because the Vision was ushering them onto one of the Kree warships, explaining that he could fly it once he accessed the mainframe, while Tommy argued with Cassie that it didn't really count as stealing if they weren't intending to keep the ship.

At this rate, Billy was going to be grounded for at least two lifetimes.

In which Billy finds out more about himself than he ever knew he didn't know. )

Considering how much trouble Fandom had given them in getting together in the first place, Billy and Topher had agreed to have their first date away from the island, but it had been Billy's idea to get a portal to his New York, so he could show Topher some of the city (without any encounters with giant rats, he'd promised). He hadn't meant to pick a restaurant that matched the Prom theme - finding someplace where they'd have plenty of nerdy things to talk about and could avoid awkward silences had been his biggest concern.

"The menu looked pretty awesome. Kind of Asian and Indian all together," he said as they were seated. So far, so good.

[NFB! For the other fanboy!]
