Summary: Tommy gloats about his new costume, but Kate can't resist teasing him.
“Hey, guys, check out my new threads Uncle Pietro helped design,” Tommy said, preening himself in a shiny costume that supposedly made him faster, almost as if he were running naked.
The group of young Avengers couldn't look away from him as he paraded around them. It was that revealing, fitting his body smoothly and silkily like a second skin. Kate inwardly admitted that he did look sexy, but she'd never in her life tell him that.
“It doesn't leave much to the imagination.” Thank God Teddy was the brave one to speak first.
“It's giving me second-hand embarrassment for some reason,” Billy added, and his brother gave him a toothy grin.
“That's okay, bro; you know I'm not going to steal your man. Hey, Teddy, observe all you want, big fella,” Tommy gloated.
“Ugh, it's really inappropriate,” Eli said, and instantly Tommy rolled his eyes.
“Well, I'm sorry to say this, but Eli's right. Tommy, I really think you should wear a cup,” Cassie said with concern, and as long as she wasn't drooling all over him, he ignored her.
“So what about you, Hawkette? Like it?” He met Kate's eyes, and she almost felt sick from everyone's stare. Even Eli looked worried for her response.
She arched an eyebrow and crossed her arms. “I think it makes you look fat.”
Tommy shouted “Hey!” as everyone chortled with laughter, and Kate's words instantly put the group at ease. Tommy looked betrayed, but Kate smirked smugly at him.
“What? Someone had to knock your ego down a peg.” Tommy looked aggravated as everyone continued laughing. Kate couldn't help but tease him even more. “Is that glitter?”
Tommy sputtered, trying to salvage whatever image he had left. “It's aerodynamic spandex!”
