Natalie's 'gooey I'll-miss-you-boyfriend sentimental stuff' had been rather short, actually. She'd ended up spending a lot more time with Moxy and her parents, which was where her portal dropped her off from now.

"Well, my parents don't understand why I can't just stay in Montreal with them, and Jim appears to want to punch you in the face," served as her greeting. "In case you wanted to think about less pressing issues for a couple of seconds."

"Your parents aren't particularly ambitious, and your boyfriend needs to find ways of expressing himself that don't involve violence or otherwise behaving like a gorilla," Peter said idly. "There, I've thought about it, now I'm done."

"My parents don't want me putting myself at risk for someone else's universe," Natalie pointed out dryly. "Neither does Jim."

Peter rolled his eyes. "Which is adorable," he said. "But we've got more important things to deal with."

With parents like John-Paul and Theresa, you kind of got a warped view of what sane loved ones' priorities should be.
