[He nods, looking slightly embarrassed.]

Sorry. I'm still adjusting to him not, well... us not being together. We've been together in one way or another since the day we first woke up.

[passingthrough]

No, I'm sorry for the flippant. I get it. Those kinds of things are hard. Too hard.

[neversets]

No, it's fine, you weren't to know. I guess I'm sort of used to everyone in my world knowing us. "World's Finest Couple" and all that jazz. Turns out, being famous superheroes and coming out draws attention.

Ego much, huh?

[passingthrough]

Sounds as if you were well liked at least. That's kind of hard to picture. [Kitty, repeat that back to yourself.]

I mean, the masses liking people with powers. You seem likable.

[neversets]

[He gives her a sad smile.]

Not quite the same in your world, huh?

We're... loved. Hated. Depends on the day. On the channel. On the playground.

[passingthrough]

My world was a little bit broken. [This is a growing moment, keeping it light, not going right for the most grimdark thing she could say.] Sounds like yours has a better mix.

[neversets]

It's a pretty good place, overall. Probably better now that Jack's not in charge. I love the guy, but I really don't know that he's cut out for presidency.

[passingthrough]

You knew the president? Wait, did your team have a president or is this the president of the United States?

[neversets]

... Jack took over as President of the US. It wasn't a great idea.

[He rubs a hand through his hair, then combs the silver strands with his fingers.]

I don't really do the thinking for the team. Leave that to others who are better at it. But overthrowing a corrupt government doesn't actually always fix things.

[passingthrough]

[It's making her think of Jack Harkness every time he says it and even with more information it still feels like it fits somehow.]

No, I imagine it's more like a beginning than the end at that point. [She hasn't heard that much from Kurt yet about their world post-Apocalypse, but it's hard to imagine anything being easy from there.]

[neversets]

It was certainly something.

[And now they're on to something else.]

It's ridiculous... the most powerful superhero team in the world, in several worlds, and I'm already worrying about them without me there.

[passingthrough]

Of course you are. [She gives him a soft smile.] Teams are kind of like families. [Especially if you lose your family and they are all you have.]

[neversets]

[ He smiles back, nodding slightly.]

Yeah. They are. Angie was my best man, well, woman, when I got married.
