Summary: Rebecca and Bruce always had an interesting relationship. Inspired by all those reader responses.
Bruce Jameson sat at the table, his head in his hands as he studiously ignored the celebration going on. He tried very hard not to hear the groom's laugh, or the bride's answering giggle. He was so busy ignoring everything that he didn't notice that someone was sitting next to him until they spoke.
"Hey Bruce. I'm surprised to see you here."
Bruce saw the green uniform before he recognized the voice. "I got an invitation. It'd be rude not to come. "I'm surprised you're here on duty, Nate."
Nathaniel Altman-Kaplan shrugged. "Like it or not, my sister is a Skrull Princess, and a royal wedding between an alien and a Terran is S.W.O.R.D. business."
"Oh."
"Why'd you come, Bruce?"
The gamma powered lycanthrope sighed. "I dunno. I thought maybe... she'd change her mind."
Nate blinked. "Bruce... my sister hates you."
Bruce snorted. "No she doesn't."
"Yes, she does. She thinks you're an arrogant creep, and she always has."
"Then why was I invited?"
"It was Wally's idea, I think," Nate said.
Bruce thought about it. "Yeah. Sounds like him."
"You seriously didn't think Becca would dump Wally at the altar for you, did you? C'mon, you've done nothing but piss her off since you met her."
"I thought she was a guy then."
"And that should make a difference? When you weren't picking fights, you were hitting on her. Hell, the only time she went out with you was out of pity. This isn't one of those stupid romantic comedy movies, Bruce. She's not going to just fall into your arms because you're persistent."
"Gee, you're so good at cheering people up, Nate."
"Someone's got to tell the truth. Why not me?"
