young avengers - billy kaplan

I-

[A lady is walking by and he just blurts out]

Diediedie-

[The lady's dusty but blue dress suddenly looks like it was splashed, and it turns a horrible shade of pink]

No!

[There's blue light and suddenly Billy is surrounded by...lobsters.]

[ooc: he is slugged and the slug cannot figure out his magic, plus Billy is fighting this shit. Action is a-okay!]

[And Tommy, being Tommy, chooses the most natural moment to show up. And stare.]

Uuhh... am I interrupting something?

You're To-

[He jumps him. There.]

Wowwhat--

[Unfortunately (fortunately?) Tommy's kind of a slippery target, and his gut instinct is always to try and dodge.]

Bro?Problem??

Freeze!

[He does stop, but not for the intended reason-- just because he's trying to cross his eyes to get a good look the long icicle hanging off his nose.]

No!

[And now Billy glows and the lobsters fly]

Okay,sowe'rewhat,sandcrazy?

[What would the smart thing to do here even be?

Tommy doesn't know, so instead he's opting for a flying tackle.]

[Billy flies up and gets tackled, and scuds along in the air]

Don't touch!

Dude what's wrong with you?

Diediedie!

[Billy clutches his head and gasps]

Sl-

Yeahno.

[See now Tommy's at a loss, because the only viable option he can think of is trying to punch Billy into unconsciousness, but that doesn't seem like a good idea. Maybe gagging him with something would help? Or... or...]

So help me I will shut you up if I have to.

Tommy-

[Aaaaand he launches himself again.]

[Under other circumstances, this might look like a normal brotherly squabble. You know, if one of them didn't move too fast to be properly seen and the other didn't periodically glow blue. Tommy's aiming to tackle Billy to the ground and cover his mouth, pin him there, and then figure out what to do next.]

[Billy's eyes widen and he flails, but he's pinned - the slug can't figure out this magic and his body is kind of not superstrong anyway]

[Sitting on Billy's chest should suffice, right?]

Soooo you're crazy. I guess you got a thing in your head?

[It's a rhetorical question. What do you do about things in people's head, anyway?]

[STRUGGLING. And also glaring.]

...dinner is served?

Dinner you can have poi-

[The slug gets overpowered here, so suddenly there is poi everywhere]

[Leaning over to get a look at Billy's ear, Tommy is deep in thought. So far the only idea he has involves trying to poke his hand through Billy's skull which has a greater chance of head explosions than he's really comfortable with.]

We need like. Peroxide or something, I guess. Or beer.

[There is a glare that is 100% Billy, and blue magic, and suddenly there is a trumpet next to Tommy]

[Teddy steps over a stray lobster at takes a moment to assess the situation. It doesn't really help.]

Uh...what the hell is going on here?

A cheap dinner.

[Surprisingly calmly sitting on his brother, yup.]

I think he's got a thing in his head.

[He's clutching his head]

Where are you?

[Teddy Teddy Teddy-Billy stops fidgeting, he's won against the slug for a second and he looks up and it's heartbreaking]

Now you mean to deliver?

Oh my god. [Teddy drops to his knees and runs his fingers through Billy's hair for the lack of anything more useful to do.]I'm totally blanking right now, I just remember there was something about oatmeal maybe.

Oatmeal?

[He sounds doubtful. Also, somehow this seems much more awkward now, having an audience for the lobster-strewn wrestling.]

I dunno, I thought we should pour something in his ear, but maybe a loud enough noise would scare it out?

[Pointing at the trumpet.]

Now would be an awesome time for you to say you know how to play that.

[This is a tiny whimpery noise made because Teddy.

YES USE THE TRUMPET YOU MORONS]

[Teddy picks it up.]

I looks like a vuvuzela, not a real instrument. Like, for making noise during the World Cup. You just blow it.

[He points it towards Billy's ear and demonstrates and there is totally nothing awkward about this at all.]

[Suddenly, he remembers how they got rid of the slugs last time. Tommy winces.]

Augh, that might make my brain melt if it doesn't work on him.

[Billy's eyes shut and then roll back in his head, and a slug crawls out his ear and writhes on the ground. Billy actually flies up now, taking Tommy with him]

Kill it! Kill it!

[Teddy hesitates for a moment, because you're the one with magical powers and he's the one who has to get up close and personal, but he ends up stomping on it because Billy is shouting at him and he can't really think of a better idea.]

Ew, ew, ew.

Yeah, smash it!

[Tommy has outlived his usefulness in this situation, because he's not close enough to blow it up, but he can definitely shout encouragement with the best of them. Also, that thing is gross.]

[once it is squished Billy flies into Teddy's arms and presses a kiss to his mouth]

My hero.

[Teddy grabs Billy and kisses him fairly hard--especially considering Tommy's presence--because he's full of a lot more adrenaline than you can burn squishing a slug. Also, because he's still pretty glad not to be separated by the weird split-city thing.]

[Wow, guys? Awkwaaaard. This would be his cue to split, but since, you know, they just pulled a slimy mind-control thing out of Billy's head, he kind of figures it would be good to check in.

So, you know, he's just gonna stand there awkwardly trying not to look like he's waiting awkwardly.]

[Ahem.

They split]

Anyway. Thanks.
