Some people come to Milliways for a drink, or for food, or for their friends. Some are here because the door picks them up and doesn't let them leave.

Norman Osborn? Well, this is the only place where he can go five minutes without some incompetent idiot yammering about the latest problem he has to fix.

You understand? He has to leave his ( Read more... )

It's true. Norman grows increasingly irritated from the moment he realises someone's there, but he doesn't look up. He taps his pen against his chin thoughtfully, then finishes another line.

"I believe 'Hello' is a standard greeting in most universes," he says mildly, eyes still on the folded DB! in his hands. "You could try it."

More irritation under the surface. But Norman smiles wryly and tilts his head to peer sideways at the man.

"Are you going to decide on the merits of my Sudoku skills? Or do you just want the paper when I'm done with it?"

This time, Norman is genuinely amused. He even snorts as he unfolds the DB! so the other man can see the front page.

"Oh," with a slightly smug smile, "the going rate's just one alien queen these days."

Front Line still says nothing nice about Norman, though. So he doesn't do their sudoku.

"Sure, like Supergirl."

Norman switches out his paper for his coffee while he tries to recall any SHIELD files about a 'Supergirl'. Nope. Hmm.

"Problem in your world?"

"So what you really want is a decent photographer," Norman says wryly.

He'd recommend one, but he thinks Parker considers himself above taking pictures of superheroes' underwear.
