Spider-Man definitely got more press than they did, and most of it bad. She wondered how he'd horked off J. Jonah Jameson so much that the editor of the paper made it his personal mission in life to treat the friendly neighborhood webslinger to the sort of derision that sold many newspapers. It was probably a bad idea to spend time in NYC, where some other version of her made home. She'd met a few other hers, and like them in her reality, she'd eventually be ousted back to where she came from.
"The mushrooms are the best part. Take another and I'll have to fork stab you." She reached across to his plate to steal a likely looking morsel in retaliation.
"Stab? Me? Such violence over a fungus." He opened his mouth to say something else when his phone rang. What in the world? This wasn't his world and surely his cell phone service wasn't yet so advanced that it reached through to other dimensions
( ... )
She brandished the fork with a slightly menacing glint in her eyes, before the phone interrupted their meal, just as it had in the old days. Between that and her communicator, they never had a meal that lasted longer than the first few bites. It was exciting, their old life - what was missing in hell - never knowing what danger they were going to toss themselves into.
"So long as I'm not saving the world, I'm in. Done enough of the flashy heroing for a bit. We playing super-spy rockstars?" She flashed him her patented getting up to shenanigans grin, "Saving the Queen in time to get her back to tea?"
"It's beautiful. She's been kidnapped by a rather nasty group of buggers called the Cannibal Reavers. I've not heard of that one and from the sound of it, she's probably not up for a free cruise if we don't get to her in time." In fact, it sounded right horrible but that was usually more fun.
"They've asked for a ransom but they think it might be bogus to stall for time. So, we've got to find out who this lot are, where they hang out, steal Liz back and get her back to Buckingham before next Wednesday. What do think Pryde?" By Thor's overly revealing man-panty he was excited.
Wisdom packed up his troubles and his old kit bag and headed cautiously back toward the surface. They had to leap into a wall at one point as they heard someone approaching.
They waited far longer than they needed to and moved down further from where they had entered.
They made it out without being discovered and without having been challenged by any cannibals. They made it to the coffee shop all in one piece and with all their marrow intact. Once they had settled down with their laptop and their coffee, "You realize this will never happen again as long as we live? I realize it's not the first time but usually we had the entire team with us when we ran into nothing. But here we would have been horribly outnumbered with no immediate backup. It's a miracle."
"Yeah, but normally there was all that unspoken sexual tension between the pair of us and we got all distracted imagining each other naked. I've already seen your naughty bits now, in all their glory. Thus, we can save the day with nary a distraction." She gave him a saucy wink, "Aren't we always horribly outnumbered with no backup? Isn't that like, our M.O.?"
Not getting eaten by cannibals deserved the celebratory key lime cake at the coffee shop. Needed to fatten up their marrow to be din-din later.
As prominent a part as his wedding vegetables often played in his life, he rarely thought anyone actually wanted to see them. This opinion had of course been formed in school when one of his first sexual conquests had a right good giggle. Upon further inquiry, it seemed most women found said gentleman bits to be equally comical or awkward in appearance. He had put it down to what you see everyday. "Glory eh? I'll have to remember that one."
"Not always, unless there is an army of small, cute, and yet disturbing Kurt-like beings around. Actually, I take that back... it did happen quite a lot. At least we don't need Nightcrawler here to have sex with any space alien queens to extricate us from our current lot. Right, here we go." He established the link between the computer and the camera.
Good thing this place didn't close. It could potentially be a very long wait or 15 minutes. "I've got a feeling we'll be in here for awhile."
