video; PRIVATE Angelica and Pietro

[amoral_savior]

[This probably isn't a face either wants to see currently, but here it is.]

Um, hi. I'm Topher, which you might remember. I work for Boyd.

[Oh god he's so awkward]

I'm wondering if Calvin can come over for, like, a night. We'd just hang and pla video games. It's summer and unless you have him in some sort of camp thing then it should be okay. I can pick him up too. Uh, we'd probably have to get a hotel room because I don't think Boyd would really want to house us for the night, but we'd have one of my people there since the guy follows me everywhere...

So, uh, yeah, I figured I needed to ask his parents before asking Calvin so you don't think I've stolen him or something. I promise I'm not some weirdo.

Hey man, no need to give me the speech; I've been buying into it since I was six.

You know you keep up the team talk and you'll give Calvin a complex.

[superspeeds]

I can't imagine why it would. Calvin is more than familiar with our work.

[amoral_savior]

Calvin flew me around the city when I was stuck as an animal in a cape that I'm fairly certain was a bathtowel.

[superspeeds]

I don't find that surprising. He recently told me that he wishes to be a hero when he grows up.

Naturally, I expect him to change his mind by Tuesday. Perhaps he'll want to be a paleontologist then.

[amoral_savior]

Pah, they're boring. He's totally genius material. Take it from me.

[superspeeds]

This may seem arrogant, but I will be entirely honest with you. I would expect nothing less from my son. Whatever Calvin decides to do, I haven't the slightest doubt that he will be nothing short of breathtaking.

[amoral_savior]

Sounds very...parental. Sorry, I'm not too sure on what parenting sounds like, but I'm sure gushing on your kid is right on the TO-DO list.

[superspeeds]

[That gets a short laugh.]

Indeed! Perhaps I'll get around enforcing some sort of discipline next month. Then, perhaps, I'll truly be effective.

[amoral_savior]

Discipline is overrated; stick with the gushing.

[superspeeds]

Oh, but I believe my wife might disagree on that note.

[amoral_savior]

Women worry too much. Stick with your gut and you'll be good.

[superspeeds]

But to have your confidence in such things. I prefer to think that Angelica and I balance each other and thus, are good together.

[amoral_savior]

You think too hard. Go with the flow and Calvin will be just fine.
