[hostage]

You wanna see me in a leotard?

[morethan084]

Possibly.

Although have you ever actually seen a real super hero wear one of those?

[hostage]

Close enough.

You want me in a super suit, I'll wear it in the bedroom. I don't think the rest of the world wants to see this.

[morethan084]

Oh, I think they do.

Besides. I don't think wearing that to the bedroom would do anything for me. Besides make me laugh uncontrollably.

[hostage]

You know, you're really not selling me on this idea like at all.

[morethan084]

Well if you just wore a leotard you would look ridiculous.

Get an actual suit. Like Iron Man.

[hostage]

Seriously? You want me in charge of a weapon of mass destruction?

[morethan084]

Not like his exactly. I just mean something other than colorful spandex.

[Daisy reached out to shove him in the arm.]

Shut up.

[hostage]

[Jesse flashes her a grin.]

You're right, though. I thought about getting myself some body armor. And a helmet.

[morethan084]

With cool gadgets attached, right?

Maybe a holster for blood viles.

[Now it's her turn to poke fun.]

[hostage]

You know, some people like my blood.

[He's teasing. He doesn't expect her to like his blood.]

[morethan084]

Yeah. If they're vampires maybe.

[Okay. Enough teasing.]

Are you serious about thinking of getting a suit?

[hostage]

[Yes, vampires. Exactly.]

Gotta shield my brain and my heart, at least. I can survive most things, but not a straight-up kill shot.

[morethan084]

...Wait, seriously?

[She thought he was actually completely immortal.]

[hostage]

I mean, it's not like I ever tested it. But the nanites would revive me faster than my power could, if I had a hole blown clean through my brain. Shit, I don't even know how many months I'd be brain-dead if it was all up to me.

[morethan084]

Maybe you should actually speak to Tony about at least getting a helmet made.

[hostage]

[...Oh, is she worried about him?]

I'm not sure how useful it'd be, unless I'm wearing the damn thing everywhere.

[morethan084]

[Duh.]

Good point.

Sorry. I just thought you were actually immortal.

[hostage]

Technically, I am. The really, really slowly regenerating kinda immortal.

[morethan084]

Well, let's just hope you never have to find out if getting shot in the head works or not.

Have you ever been shot before?

[hostage]

Oh yeah. Not as many times as I been stabbed, but yeah.

[morethan084]

Wait, what?

[hostage]

What?

[Is that really surprising?]

[morethan084]

You've been stabbed? And shot at? And stabbed some more?

[YES IT IS!]

[hostage]

Um... I mean, not to freak you out or anything, but... If somebody can do it to a human body, it's probably been done to me.

[This life, it has not let him off easy.]
