He doesn't need caffeine. He's hyper enough without it.

Not that it ever stops him from getting a cup every once in awhile.

Tommy leans forward on the table, brushing his white-blonde hair out of his eyes as she reads the paper with interest.

Henh. No prisoners escaped.

The press really needs to work on doing their homework.

It wasn't the ex-con thing, as that place they broke him out of was way shady, but something about the guy felt hinky.

Everybody deserves a chance or two though, so Teddy went ahead and placed the call. Besides, it'd be good to check in with him, and make sure everything was going well.

"Talk to me," Tommy said, flipping open his silver phone. He didn't recognize the number, but he figured that was okay. If anyone had it, it had to be someone who knew him since his recent little bust out.

"Of course he is," Tommy replies, raising an eyebrow. He's barely surprised. If anyone, Billy would be the one to throw a party like that. "Thanks, Hulkling. I'll see you there."
