Your wife and I are running away together. I thought you should know.

[text]

[trickshot]

As the last guy she tried that with, I've got to ask--

what the hell?

[text]

[superspeeds]

Relax. She enlisted my help for a project. I merely figured you would wish to be aware in case something were to become of us.

Frankly, I didn't trust her to tell you herself. She might have wished to spare you the concern.

[text]

[trickshot]

Right, because not knowing about her super secret projects is a perfect way to spare me concern.

[text]

[superspeeds]

Exactly my point in telling you.

[text]

[trickshot]

Gee.

Thanks.

[text]

[superspeeds]

You're welcome. I know how it feels when they simply vanish without a trace.

[text]

[trickshot]

She doesn't vanish.

She just does her own thing sometimes.

[text]

[superspeeds]

Semantics. You're simply more accepting of the habit than I could ever be.

[text]

[trickshot]

I'm pretty sure there's a saying or something about holding on too tight and chasing people away.

[text]

[superspeeds]

A character defect then. But one that I am more than happy to live with.

[text]

[trickshot]

You say that about a lot of your defects.

[text]

[superspeeds]

One must learn to appreciate himself before he can attempt to do the same for others.

And, incidentally, that particular defect is in keeping perfectly with my namesake.

[text]

[trickshot]

Glad you're so dedicated to branding.

[text]

[superspeeds]

Please. I merely think it's an interesting coincidence.

You're truly not worried for her?

[text]

[trickshot]

Of course I'm worried. But I'll take the worry as long as she comes along with it.

[text]

[superspeeds]

Yet you haven't even asked where we're going. Curious.

[text]

[trickshot]

She wouldn't tell me, last time I asked her.

[text]

[superspeeds]

My condolences. I suppose she believes secrecy to be key to this particular venture.

For what it's worth, I don't believe you to be a security risk. Though, actually, your phone well could be.

[text]

[trickshot]

Well you told me anyway, so might as well go all the way.

Where exactly are you two going?

[text]

[superspeeds]

Somewhere we're not supposed to go.

[text]

[trickshot]

Not supposed to as in I'll be mad about it, or as in its illegal?

[text]

[superspeeds]

As in, I can't imagine it will end well for us if we're captured. You should really consider consulting her about this.

[text]

[trickshot]

Maybe I will.

What's big and bad enough to capture the two of you, though?

[text]

[superspeeds]

Vulcanus. We have a rather unfortunate history with organizations that align themselves with Skrulls.
