Tommy/Speed

The threat of inter-dimensional cosmic warfare is a looming threat above the Young Avengers heads.

Billy is having boy problems.

"I love Teddy," Billy tells his twin, Tommy. "I know I do. But he's the only person I've ever been with. And the excitement's missing. Which is something that I didn't think would happen until we were, like, old and married."

They lay in bed in their shared bedroom at Bishop Publishing.

Tommy asks, "Is it just because you've been together for so long?"

"No. I think it's partially Teddy's fault. Well, not his fault, but... he's just so... vanilla."

Tommy snickers.

Wrinkling his nose, Billy asks "What's so funny?"

"Come on. Are you trying to say you're not vanilla?"

Billy nods.

"Okay, I'll bite. What kind of stuff are you into?"

Billy blushes; "Tommy. I'm not answering that."

"Right. 'Cause you're vanilla."

"No! Because you're my brother, and--"

"--and what you're into is, like, taboo **** fantasies?" Tommy says it jokingly, but looks at Billy carefully for his reaction.
