Making the Best of Things
Alright, so Eli and Kate were a couple. Tommy could deal. Totally. He wasn't going to go on some mad rampage across the city just because his friend teammate was dating the girl that he loved liked. Because it wasn't like anyone else had known, and the two were good for each other. Really.
Okay, so Eli still had a stick up his ass, and Kate was perfect to begin with, but they focussed more on each other now, which meant that they focussed less on Tommy. And everyone knows that, while the cats are away, the mouse will play.

"Mm, right there..."
Kate wriggled happily from her seat on the kitchen counter. Alright, so they really shouldn't have been making out in the kitchen, but it was Saturday morning, and everyone else would still be asleep, so they wouldn't disturb anyo-
Fwip.
Eli frowned in annoyance and reached down the back of his collar.
"Somthing just flew down my-"
Fwip fwip fwip.
"Wha?"
Kate delicately reached over to grab one of the new objects on the counter just as Eli finished fishing around in his shirt. Their eyes met, and Eli turned towards the kitchen door just as Tommy let go of the object that he was slingshotting.
Fwip.
Whether by aim or pure luck, the condom hit Eli on the face before it flopped onto the ground, leaving a smeared circle of lube on the boy's cheek.
Eli slowly wiped his face off, then met Tommy's eyes.
"What. The. Hell."
"Just thought that I'd make sure you two had protection handy! We don't need any Mini Avengers running about, now do we?!"
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
Eli roared and started towards Tommy, but the speedster had already made a slightly rude gesture and run away, cackling wildly.
That morning as the team woke up to cries of "They'll never find the body!" and "Gotta catch me fi~rst!", Kate rubbed at the crease between her eyebrows, then muttered to herself in disgust.
"Men."
Then she set about to cleaning up the condoms. Well somebody had to do it, right?
