Should I pull out my superhero uniform?

I'm fine, really. But if you want to, that's something I'd pay money to see.

I think you mean that is money you'd pay not to see.

What's troubling you?

I don't know, what superhero costume would you be wearing?

It's...nothing big really. A.....friend of mine isn't talking to me. Well....he is, but it's not really the guy of talking I'd hoped for.

I haven't figured that much out. But there will be a cape. There has to be a cape.

I see. Well, did you let him know you want him to talk to you? We aren't always the brightest.

Of course. What kind of self-respecting superhero doesn't have a cape?

I've tried my best. Like I said, he's talking alright. Although the only word I can really make out is "fuck".

I can't think of one. And if there is one, they aren't worth it.

Hmm...well that doesn't sound completely hopeless.

Exactly. Even in the nipple suit, Batman had a cape.

No? What does it sound like, then?

I could be Batman. Easily.

Uh..maybe he's confused?

Pre, or post-nipple suit, Batman?

Laughs That sounds like Harry's daily state.

I am suddenly uncomfortable talking about my nipples.

And mine. Keep bugging him, he'll come around. He'd be foolish not to.

Laughs Sorry. You could be Superman, but then you have a whole other area to worry about.

That's really sweet. Thank you.

Hmm, I don't think I'd do too well in that suit either. How about PianoLawyerMan! I'll wear a suit. And a cape.

Sounds like a plan to me. So....how exactly do you stop the criminals?

Why...I just charm them to death.

Oh of course. Why didn't I think of that?

Because you're not me. Obviously.

Right. Right. Should have known.

Is there anything that I can do to assist you?

Not really. It's kind of an inside thing. But thanks.

What's wrong, sweets?

Nothing, really. Well....Harry's not talking to me.

Ok, he is, but it's not the kind of talking I'd hoped for.

He's jus' upset, sugar. He'll talk t'you again. I know he will.

I really hope you're right.

And.....

I'm sorry I called you a skank.

*grins* I appreciate that more'n you could know. An' s'all righ', luv. I knew you were jus' upset an' Perry gave ya an easy target.

Friends?

Perry likes to upset people, and point them in whatever direction will do the most damage.

Friends.

I got no problem wit'tha'. Or Perry himself. He can call me a bimbo all he likes. *laughs*

An' I know I jus' stepped inta this picture n'all, but you've been away fer a while, yeah? Harry didn't think ya were comin' back. He's comin' back from that. He was scared that jus' after he found ya yer were gone again. I'm analyzing you. Fuck, M'sorry. But jus'...

I don't think he's mad at you, jus'.. upset. In general. An' a lil' mad atchu for facilitatin' it.

Make sense?

Yeah. You keep doing shit like that I'm gonna have to pay you, damn

I understand that, but if he could shut his mouth for one second and let me apologize...but no. He'd rather chew me up, not even just for this, but for stuff that happened over ten years ago.

*chuckles* I'd do jus'a bout anythin' fer money these days.

.....An' I wonder why people call me a bimbo? Shit. *blinks*

All's I'm sayin' is I think he needs a bit'a time an' then he'll come around. Iffen ya try ta rush him it'll jus' getcha more'a th'same.

I guess you're right.

It'll all work out, honey.

Promise.

Of course you bring in the fucking childhood references.

Got your attention, didn't it?

That's not the point. It's unfair because you knew it would work..it always works. What happened? Chuck Chutney get rough during sex or something? Why do you need my help?

That was over ten fucking years ago, Harry. You've got to grow up and get over it sometime.

And I don't fucking need your help, I just wanted you to talk to me, Christ.

So the last ten years you have been lying to me!! Ok, fine you know what, I'm over it. You slept with Chuck Chutney, the one guy you promised you wouldn't! But you're right, it's water under the bridge....Perry said he was gay, you know anything about that?

If you wanna know if I fucked Perry, why don't you just fucking ask?! I haven't tried, but believe me, he's way more into you than me.

And I haven't been lying to you the past ten years because I haven't fucking seen you the past ten years.

Perry? Me, he thinks I'm an idiot. That's a gross image anyway. *shudders* Ok, please never mention that again.

Well, you should've told me instead of having me think that you had, you know kept your fucking word and what not.

Just because he thinks you're an idiot doesn't mean he doesn't want you. But I'll drop that if you'll drop fucking Chuck Chutney.

I'm sorry, alright? How many goddamn times do you want me to apologize for that?

Ok, fine, it's dropped. I accept your apology, blah blah blah.

How have you been?

I've...been good. What about you?

I haven't changed. Been busy I guess. I really didn't think I would see you again after LA.

Yeah, well. I like to be surprising sometimes. So you still staying with Perry?

~~What? Oh..right the other Harry.~~ No, I have my own place. Perry is too temper-mental a roommate, one minute he hates me, the next he loves me. ~~Oh, and I have a kid....~~

He's just moody, that's all. ~~You have a what?!~~

Hmm, no women are moody. He is a fucking whole other deal. ~~Yeeea....well it's mine but not really. It has my DNA but someone else is raising him. His name is Harold, how fucking cool is that?~~

It's not just women who are moody, trust me. ~~Smiles~~ Harold the great? That's...great, Harry. Congratulations.

I will, but just this once. So how about you, what brings you back here? ~~Thanks, it is nice to know I am capable of procreating. You should meet him. He is running around somewhere.~~

Shrugs Finished what I was working on, thought I'd travel. ~~Oh, you mean after Makes a zapping noise? That'd be good.~~
