TXT to Darcy

[xp_hawkeye]

[1/11] Hey Darce - Namor got some intel
[2/11] from everybody's favorite water
[3/11] spirit about Atlantis. I'm gonna
[4/11] have to postpone our YT marathon
[5/11] and snack fest until I get back
[6/11] from FL. Several of us are heading
[7/11] down with him. I'm just hoping
[8/11] it's something other than awful
[9/11] news that we find. I'll let you
[10/11] know as soon as I've showered
[11/11] the FL off me.

Two minutes later...

[1/5] Also Sam asked to make me dinner
[2/5] but I told him about the mission
[3/5] too and it's bros before dinner
[4/5] dates, so lemme know if you wanna
[5/5] YT it if we get back tomorrow night.

[1] This is one of those texts that maybe shoulda been a phone call.
[2] That's fine please don't let him piss anyone off too badly.
[3] Bro.
[4] Sam??? Sam, the adorable lil newbie that worked at Kirby's pre-flood?
[5] When did your type become exclusively men that look like twinks. 👀
[6] Do we need to have a talk about your mid-life crisis???
[7] Have your dinner date, at least he's friendly. YT can wait.

[1/7] You're not wrong about the phone call,
[2/7] but I didn't wanna wake you if you
[3/7] were resting. And yes, that Sam.
[4/7] You know I don't have a specific type,
[5/7] it just so happens that the people
[6/7] who're interesting to me these days
[7/7] are twinkish. Twinkishesque? Whatevs.

A minute later...

[1/1] He's gonna cook for me.

[xp_darcy]

[1] It sounds sweet. Have fun.
[2] Don't you dare show up to his place smelling like swamp or Florida Man or whatever the fuck you lot get into.

[xp_hawkeye]

[1/2] Even I know you don't show up to a date
[2/2] smelling like FL man, Jesus.

[xp_darcy]

[1] NO SWAMPS EITHER
[2] Look I know you know but also I know how science brain works sometimes
[3] You seem to forget I once had to bribe you to eat and shower regularly
[4] That instinct is hard to let go
[5] Also he's a nice boy and deserves to make a nice dinner for a NICE date

[xp_hawkeye]

[1/4] I like to think I've grown as a person.
[2/4] I mean, I eat almost regular meals
[3/4] and eXcal has 'staff meetings' and team
[4/4] bonding DR runs.

[xp_darcy]

[1] Wow, where was all of that when I was on the team

[xp_hawkeye]

[1/7] It was a sad, undeveloped little bit
[2/7] of potential that was buried under
[3/7] years of bad habits and never having
[4/7] to really be a team lead before.
[5/7] Two years undercover in a corporate
[6/7] setting really taught me the value
[7/7] of teamwork.

[1] Now you're just taking the piss
[2] I'm gonna go pain meds and pass out, I don't have to take this
