Mm, it sells better that way.

I wish it had been more accurate.

Easy... is rarely any fun.

In terms of actions, I don't mind challenges. In terms of friendships... I wouldn't mind things being easier.

....Easy friends? Can't say I disagree with you there.

Oh no. I mean, I'd like to have an easier time making friends.

I'll tell you what. *smiles brightly* I'm easy.

Colonel Sheppard. *holds out a hand*

Are you?

*shakes hands with a great deal of enthusiasm* I'm Meggan.

...in a sense.

Nice to meet you, Meggan :D

I don't mind if you are. I might be. I haven't really thought about it.

It's nice to meet you too, Colonel! :D Um. What's your first name?

I'm not, really. I mean, not really...

John. *a beat* What's your last name?

It's all right either way.

Hello, John. Oh. I don't have one.

*shrugs* Was just.. clarifying.

Hi. Oh.. I see. Just as well then.

Oh. Well, thank you.

My name's easy to remember at least. Where are you from, John?

*shrugs* It's nothing.

I'm from.. Seattle. You?

I'm from England. I live in the Rotherhithe district.

Nice. I'm stationed far... far away from home.

Oh. I'm sorry. :(

No! It's not a problem. I left a long time ago.

Oh. Are you happy where you are then?

Extremely.

That's wonderful.

Television is full of tricks.

It is!

I have my own special effects!

Yes, and I love yours.

Most people complain about the smell...

Aw, Kurt. But the sound is so cute.

Ahh, cute! Forever, I'm doomed to be cute!

*laughs* It's horrible. You're even cute when you brood.

You have no room to talk, my dear.

Is that so?

You are much cuter than I.

I don't know if that's true, but thank you.

Are you up on the roof again?

Nein. In the library.

I want to come and give you a hug. Or you can come over here. I'm in the kitchen.

I will come to you. It's much quicker.

I'll be waiting.

It's often that way, sweetie.

I wish I hadn't watched so much of it growing up. I always feel so foolish.

Don't, honey. We're all fooled into life, no matter how we grow up.

Meggan, right?

I like that. Fooled into life...

Yes, I'm Meggan. It's nice to meet you.

I'm Jan, I've seen you around...you know, SHIELD/X stuff. We tend to overlap!

Oh. I think I've seen you, but we didn't really talk. It's nice to see you again, Jan.

You too, sweetie!

How are things at SHIELD? I haven't seen a lot of the X-men lately. I work with Excalibur in England.

England? Ooh! I would kill to be there right now.

Oh, you know, the usual...Hulk drama, Pym drama, Stark drama...they're such media darlings, you know what it's like.

You could come visit! If you wanted to. It's nice here.

Avengers usually are. No offense. And I recognize most of those names, but what's a Pym?
