Young Avengers: The Fansite

Chapter 3: Tommy Is Goddamn Sexy And You Better Know It.

A/N: Since everyone is updating/writing stories, I decided to join in. If I didn't put your question in this or even referenced it, don't worry, they'll show up eventually.

Speed: Have you ever done one brotherly thing for your twin?

Okay. I don't have an answer to that. I've tried. Really. I'd do anything for Wiccan (do we have to use code-names? Guess so. All Vizh's hard work on creating super high tech email adresses to keep our identities safe would be pointless.), but it's hard to be a brother when you've never really had one or been one yourself.

I'm an only child, okay? And my parents had gotten a divorce when I was only like 5, so attention was kinda scarce when it came to me. My parents fought so much I swear they didn't even know they even had a son, so...yeah. And now I have the rag-tag team of wanna-be Avengers to call family, but hey, they're pretty cool…

Anyway, Wiccan's awesome. Of course I've never told him that in person, cause that is downright embarrassing and he will immediately think I'm up to or want something, but one day I'm going to have to, and when that day comes, I'm going to have to act like the older brother I should've been from the start.

And you know what? I actually admire him. Yeah he's a complete nerd and it freak you out when you say something completely unrelated to comics and somehow he can make some kind of reference, and he makes out constantly with his alien boyfriend when he knows that they are doing it in public and not everyone is a-okay with two guys making out in the park, but through all of that, he doesn't actually care.

And neither do I. I'm totally cool with Wiccan being gay. Good for him, at least he has someone in the first place. Hulkling is a super-nice guy who is like, made for Wiccan. See, the problem I have is that one seems to take me seriously. Yeah, I like to joke, but some of the time I can be serious. Take Hawkeye (the girl version, by the way. Unlike my twin, I am very straight.) for example. I swore we had something, really, and then she threw it back in my face and is pursuing a relationship with Mr. I-have-a-stick-up-my-ass Patriot. What the hell does she even see in him?

...Wait, the question was if I have ever done anything brotherly for my twin. See how sidetracked I get? I was meant to answer the question, not go on about how I totally accept Wiccan being gay and my own fail of a love life. Sigh.

Answer: Not yet, but I'm going to have to. After all, that's what brothers do right? That and going on a quest to find your apparent mother who happens to be one of the most dangerous mutants on the planet. And if that isn't a sign of my brotherly feelings for him, I don't know what is. Cause if I ever lost Wiccan, I don't know what I'd do with myself, he's the only thing that I really have.

Tommy shook his head and he started at the screen, rereading the message that he had spent the last 2 hours writing in silence. It was too deep. As he got to the part where he went on about Billy, he selected the paragraphs and was about to hit delete when he felt a sudden pang of guilt eating away at his chest. Why was he hiding all these feelings? Sighing, he saved the email to his desktop under 'For Billy' that one day he could give it to him as an apology for being one of the most annoying brothers anyone could ever have.

As he got back to his email, he opened a new document and typed up a new one.

Answer: No. Never have done anything brotherly for him.

But he knew he really wanted to, he just wasn't ready to admit it to everyone and more importantly himself.

"What the hell is Tommy doing up stairs?" Billy said as he swallowed his cereal. "It's 5:30. He's usually the first one down here in the morning, taking all the good cereal and finishing all the milk then refusing to go down and get some more even though he has super-speed and it'll take him less than a minute. I mean, what boring and slow activity could he possibly be immersed in?." he yawned and used his elbow to rub his eye.

Kate smirked and took a bite of her toast. "I don't wanna know..." she smiled innocently at the witch.

"Aw, Kate! I don't need the mental image! Geez!" Billy put his spoon down and covered his ears. "Shutupshutupshutup..."

"I didn't even mean it like that!" she protested, laughing. "But now you mention it..."

"KATE!"

Teddy was leaning in the doorway, an amused look in his eyes as he watched his boyfriend covering his ears and yelling at Kate for some reason. "You alright, Billy?" he chuckled, walking into the kitchen. He quickly looked around. Cassie and Eli were watching the morning news, eating their breakfast. Cassie took a sip of her smoothie and Eli grabbed the remote, changing the channel. "Where's Tommy? Isn't he usually-"

"AH!" Billy hit his head on the table, "No! I don't know where he is! I don't care what he's doing! Just...shut up!"

"Chill, bro." Tommy announced as he strutted into the kitchen in full spandex, goggles resting on his forehead. "Got your cape in knot?" he smirked, hand on his hip in a kind of girly matter.

Kate snickered into her glass of water. "You really don't want to know..."

The speedster shrugged. "Cool, I wasn't gonna ask." he turned and headed towards the kitchen. "I've got to wash my hands-"

Billy bolted out of the room. "OH MY GOD!" Teddy followed his boyfriend out of the room giving Tommy an apologetic offhand shrug.

"Cause I've got to make breakfast..." Tommy finished quietly, looking at the spot where his brother used to be. "Bacon and egg's anyone?" he offered meekly.

As Billy got to his door, after the image of Tommy doing some kinky-not-going-to-be-mentioned-ever-again act was erased from his mind after a quick make out session with Teddy in the middle of the hallway, he saw a list pinned to it. It was in his handwriting, so he knew it was Tommy's. As he unpinned it, he scanned it, recognizing it to be a list of female heroes from the Avengers and X-Teams. Why was it on his door?

He rolled his eyes as he looked at the bottom of the page.

Since you never answered the question last night, you've got to pick one of these chicks to go straight for. Or I'll shred your cape and blow up your DVD collection.

That was Tommy, alright.

Billy took the list in his room and placed it on the table as he went to his wardrobe and pulled his cape out since he was already in the leather, and he quickly smelt the addicting smell of the red fabric (Kate washed the costumes with some really nice fabric softener. Daisies or something.) The soft fabric felt nice against his cheek as it always did. He gave it a quick snuggle, kissing it.

"Wait- Billy?" Teddy stood at his door, confused as he looked at Billy cuddling his cape. "Never...mind." he shook his head like it was something he saw everyday and sat on Billy's desk. "Hey." he smiled genuinely.

Billy blushed and put his cape on in a hurry. "Hey." he said sheepishly.

"Seriously, you're too attached to the thing."

"Am not." Billy pouted.

"I'm suprised you haven't named it yet."

"...what?"

"Tommy named his goggles." Teddy said matter-of-factly.

Billy laughed. "Oh, oh wow."

"Yeah, I know." Teddy walked over to Billy and slung his arm over his shoulder and brought the witch to his chest. "Too far." he looked at the paper on the desk. "What's this?"

Billy shrugged. "Tommy wants me to pick a chick I'd 'go straight for'."

Teddy's eyes scanned the paper, a small smile on his lips. "Squirrel Girl?"

"If I was Tommy, I'd say her some crude and kinky comment about her tail or claws, but y'know."

"Right. Okay, who else do we have here?" Teddy read it as Billy pulled out of his embrace and went the mirror, fixing his hair and adjusting his cape.

"I haven't looked at it yet." Billy replied. "I don't want to."

"Mockingbird," Teddy read aloud as Billy started to quickly clean his room because he doesn't want to go downstairs cause then he has to face Tommy. And...yeah. "Wasp, X-23, Emma Frost-"

"God no. She needs to wear more clothes." Billy commented with a disgusted look on his face. "I dunno what Cyclops sees in her. She's a bitch."

"Anyway, we've got Pixie, Layla Miller-"

"She's like 7!"

"-Shadowcat, Scarlet Witch-"

"She's my mother."

"Hey, this is Tommy we're talking about."

"Touché."

"Black Widow, Ms. Marvel, Invisble Woman-"

"Married."

"Huh?"

"Sue's married. With kids. 2."

"-Jess Jones,"

"Married. Kid."

"Can you just let me read this?"

"...'Kay."

"Spiderwoman, She-Hulk-"

"Ew green...sorry. I'm joking. I love you."

"Oh ha ha, very funny, Billy. Love you too. And we've got Cassie-"

"...What?"

"It's a joke, Billy."

"Yeah, Tommy's sick and twisted joke."

"He is sick and twisted."

"Mmm. Agreed"

"And last but not least, Anole, Daken and Northstar."

Billy froze. "Huh?"

"Anole, Daken and Northstar." Teddy repeated like Billy had hearing issues. "Young X-Man? Dark Wolverine? Icon of all gay superheroes?"

"I know that. But their all guys, and their all gay."

"Figured that. And technically, Daken is bi-"

"Why are they on the list?"

"Ooh, there's a sidenote."

Billy inspected his now tidy room and went to sit on Teddy's lap. "What does it say?" he sighed.

"Sorry, you can't have these guys. Ha ha ha ha ha ha..." Teddy scowled. "Damn."

Billy took the note and grabbed a pen from the desk. Quickly, he circled She-Hulk. As a side note he scribbled 'Cause she's green' as an excuse. "That should keep him satisifed." he said.

Teddy grinned. "I bet there are heaps of other ways..."

"Shutupshutupshutup...SHUT UP!"

"I have proof that I'm more awesome than you three put together." Tommy said proudly to Cassie, Vision and Eli, taking a piece of paper that he had printed off earlier from the coffee table. "And I didn't write it. Listen..." he looked to the sheet and started to read in a cocky voice. "Don't worry, you are great Young Avenger. Much better than Patriot, Vision and Stature together. Just ask Molly Hayes from Runaways! She is, like, an ultimate expert on superheroes!"

There was a pause.

"Ha, take that!" he laughed, shoving it in Cassie's face. "How do you feel now, huh?" he started to prance around the room. "You know what? I'm gonna make a million copies and paste them all around HQ-"

"The hell you're not!" Kate growled.

"-and then Avengers Mansion, and the Tower, and where-ever-the-hell the X-Men are now, and the Baxter Building and EVERYWHERE AROUND THE WORLD SO THAT THEY CAN SEE HOW GOD DAMN COOL AND SEXY I AM!"

Yeah, it sucked. I kinda rushed it and stuff. Oh well.
