but what about the honeymoon period
you can't just skip everything like that
you gotta savor the little things
i don't even know your name

that's what happens when you skip straight to i love you
name's fred

so who you if you ain't bobby

i guess i am to blame
hi fred
i'm z

[ cue mockery in 3...2...1... ]

seriously. z? that's the badass hero name you go with to inspire your enemies to piss themself laughing? that your strategy?

[ right on cue ]

i don't have enemies
just shitty hackers fapping at their own pretentiousness trying to get to me
'shadowhell' and 'mordorvoid' and 'hemorroids'

anyway i'm not a hero
what would you rather if i told you my name is captain america

that's a shit name too
no one makes good names
it's all a joke anyway

What, heroism? You speak from experience, Fred?

you're talking to a bonafide childhood hero

Really now? But you're retired now, and hanging out with crackwhores and l pieces of shit?

Sounds even worse than when I was in prison

are you fucking kidding me
it's the best shit
early retirement is key

what do you do, now?

little bit of this, little bit of that. nothing a fancy piece of shit who fucks prostitutes like you would think highly of

Seriously tho
I've never had to pay for sex
I'm a good looking guy
I'm very charming
I have abs

i can only give you half credit for charming.
the other two i'm flying blind

cute
i see through this

[ still. he'll play, and sends a picture along with the message anyway. ]

holy shit
is that for real?
you're like a 9/10 if that ain't photoshop

no photoshop
i'm a great hacker but i've got no retouching skills
it's good genes and a lot of pushups while waiting for programs to compile
a guy's gotta stay busy

so what time you getting me that drink at again?

[ he has to laugh. ]

cute, very cute
we might not even be in the same timezone

but we could be easily enough
where should i pick you up? is a better question, would determine the time

you got the same area code as bobby. you're not that far.

you ever hear of tir na nog pub?

midtown,
huh?

i can be there in an hour

yeah?

get your ass down here not-bobby

You're really not going to use my name?

I'll be there.

[ And he is, an hour later, ordering a pint at Fred's chosen pub. ]

Well dayum. [ She definitely waits a second to be sure Z's really who he says he is. That shit happens all the time, after all. But when he looks even better in his real life.

She slides in next to him at the bar. ] I'll take another one. His treat. [ She gestures at Z. ]

You actually showed up. You ain't afraid I'm gonna kill you or something? [ She flashes a grin, leaning on the bar with her right prosthetic arm. ]

[ He's glad to see that she's as hot as he thought she would be, and he leans into the bar, slapping some money on the counter. He's not that kind of flashy, but he doesn't really mind spending on a beautiful lady with a terribly potty mouth. He is, after all, pretty fucking loaded.

Not through legal ways, but whatever.

He looks down at her arm, and lets his own powers manifest gently, just a trickle of electricity arcing from one finger to the other.. ]

I think I can defend myself pretty good.
