Yeah? Everything go okay?

So... [He makes a face to acknowledge that he knows exactly what Yvette is so, but then he brightens up.] Yeah? That's great, dude. So now you're all benevolent and superpowered.

Weather? That's awesome. Yo, give us some tropics up on the deck, how about that?

[He grins -- but then it occurs to him that unless Kevin does it, say, tomorrow, he's not going to be around to see it, and his smile fades again.]

Um, listen, there's something I got to tell you. Something happened right before you left, and with you graduated and all... I'm leaving. Me and Lua, I mean. We're checking out.

[He chokes a little, even though it's not like the truth is all that different.] Uh, no.

[Except the truth is actually worse, for a certain value of worse.] We're not... coming back.

Actually, um... [And now he smiles, because the worse is that he's leaving, but there's a whole lot of better behind it.] Lua's-- we're gonna have a kid. A baby, I mean.

Yeah. [He laughs, looking a little shy, hands hooking behind his neck.] Uh, don't tell no one, she's trying to keep it, like, DL.

[All he can do is nod to that: the truth is, he really has no words to talk about it. It comes through in his boyish grin, the brightness in his eyes.]

You get why we gotta go, though, right?

I dunno just yet... that's one of the things we're still working on, one of the reasons we haven't left yet. Probably one of the New Yorks -- our friend Amanda lives out there.
