WHO: Billy & Terry (& Bradbury)
WHERE: Terry's Apartment
WHEN: 5/11 or "in the evening whenever"
WARNINGS: n/a
SUMMARY: Terry offered to give Billy Teddy's stuff from when he was here last.
FORMAT: in the style of your choice.

So, okay, Billy had tried his best to pretend everything was easy to deal with. And in a way, that wasn't a lie. It wasn't like his own world hadn't been turned on top of itself a few times, it wasn't like he didn't personally possess enough power to go and potentially do something like this. (Now there was a thought -- don't even.) Seeing and talking to Kate had been good, though, a sense of normalacy even in this totally abnormal place. But there was still this question about Teddy's stuff, and he thinks about it a lot the second day and decides to go over to Terry's place that night, hoping he's not going to seem too desperate or forward, or insert other negative adjective. Anyway "evening whenever" it is, so he knocks on the door. Hopefully he's home.

"I'm not a 'teen hero' anymore. We stopped being the Young Avengers awhile ago, so." He shrugs. It's not something he wants to get into, though it's true that talking about it would probably be good eventually. Just, you know, with people he knows better. He'd already talked about it a bit anyway and that was totally enough right?

"Why, what do you want to do? Work with the Initiative forever?"

"What? No."

Terry makes another face. Truthfully, the Initiative was only a slight upgrade from high school. Just another place where he didn't fit in with his peers and managed to ruin mostly everything for everyone.

"But I'm pretty sure there's nothing school can do for me either."

Unless colleges can take your powers away, of course.

"Then don't go to school." Billy shrugs. He knows its not for everyone - but he and his analytical skills are going to learn some accounting. Or something.

"Not planning on it." His tone is dismissive. There will be as little accounting in Terry's future as humanly possible. "I'm immortal anyway, so there's not a whole lot of point to it."

"Really? You're a immortal?" This is somehow now 900 times cooler than any discussion about school.

"Well, yeah. I mean, I can't be killed, so I guess I am. Supposedly." Suddenly, he seems unwilling to discuss it in detail. It's frustrating really, that the demonic side of him affects just about everything. He can't even die properly. "I did get autopsied and embalmed once though. That sucked."

Okay yeah that definitely puts a damper on the whole being immortal is cool. "That sounds horrible."
