There comes a time in a man's life when he learns that there are certain things he can't control in the world. Unfortunately, this is one of those times

Danny, it's gotten to the point where I don't need to dislocate your jaw, because I'm afraid you get so emo about us that you're ready to dislocate it on your own.

*smiles when he sees her*

I thought you liked that I was open about my feelings? I thought women liked that.

Can I ask how you feel about Heroes for Hire? Theoretically, if necessary?

[knight_misty]

Women like that. Turning into a nervous wreck through constant introspection which leads to worrying about your love life which can lead to panicking firghtens some of them off, though.

Heroes for Hire is a good idea. It's A-Team, minus working underground and no cigar-chomping. It just seems that Heroes for Hire is perpetually struck with murphy's law.

Luke and I have Shang-Chi on board.

*takes the plunge*

We want to ask you and Colleen to join us. If you'd consider it.

Before I explain all of this, please know that I'm barely restraining myself from picking you up and carrying you out of here.

Relationships are chaotic for people in our lifestyle. It's hard enough making them work in general, add in what we do and it's damn near impossible.

That being said, if you love her enough you will find a way to make it work. It just may take a herculean effort.

[iron_fist_]

I'm sensing - no, I know - that this is not what you really want to say.

[redheadspy]

What? Am I not right when I say that it takes a huge effort to make a relationship work for people in our professions?

[iron_fist_]

I know you to be a very direct woman. All relationships take effort if there is a hope for success. The only difference with people in our professions is, perhaps, slightly unpredictable hours.

I suppose you could hire male or transgendered prostitutes to encourage these writers not to cause irreperable damage to your reputation and integrity. That was the method I used for years with my writer.

Until I finally cut him off and then that abysmal man whored me out to a hack like this television fellow, Hudlin, that forces me to articulate like an infantile, insecure, overemotional and undeveloped shadow of a mature woman.

The power of sex is capricious, Iron Fist. Be wise in how you manipulate it.

[iron_fist_]

Transgendered prostitutes? I have to trade indirect sexual favors? This is more sordid than I'd anticipated.

I always try to use sex as an expression of love. Do you consider that capricious, Storm?

Dump T'Challa.

Really.

Should Misty dump me, after a suitable period of mourning, I will be knocking on your door. Loudly.

[ororo_munroe]

It was Logan that informed me of this method. As distasteful as I consider the business, it was successful for quite some time and the writer did enjoy it.

I would never take any expression of love lightly, Danny.

You are quite attractive.

Really.

However, I could not tolerate standing second in any man's affections. You are welcome to knock on my door, but it is possible that I may not be home.

[iron_fist_]

Ah. I see it's "let's throw Danny off kilter" night in the Nexus again with tall tales of Wolverine providing...how do I put this politely....women of a certain profession to the hacks that write for Marvel.

Not buying it, Storm. However, I'd be happy to do some looming over Hudlin for you.

You are quite beautiful.

Really.

I am not a man that loves or lusts with anything less than total devotion. I might climb in the window anyway.

[grenade_girl02]

No tips on getting a good writer, sorry.

As for the love life... uh. Well, I find spending time apart at intervals can do a lot to relieve some of the pent up ...chaoticness... That, or being locked in a Russian jail with whoever's holding the position of significant other at the time. Only your jaw? That's nothing...

[iron_fist_]

This is possibly the first time that someone's told me that jail is a stabilizing influence on a relationship. You wouldn't be joking with me, would you?

She has a left hook like a pile driver. Imagine what happens when she decides to use a bionically-powered right hook on me.

[grenade_girl02]

Not at all. I mean, you're locked in there together, probably pissed off about being there... it's a great catalyst for sorting shit out. And you know if you get too rowdy, some fat army bastard is gonna come in a pistol whip you, so it's incentive to behave yourself.

Hey, I married the Six Million Dollar Man. I know the feeling.

[iron_fist_]

Maybe I should arrange for both of us to be kidnapped and sequestered away together in total solitude. The only hindrance to this plan is finding someone to threaten us with pistol whippings. It's not that I have a shortage of people wanting to pistol whip me, it's that they really, really do want to pistol whip me.

I can't believe I'm having this conversation.

Yes, but she thinks it's amusing.

Danny, I might know a guy, for your book. I spend every day swimming in self-proclaimed 'criminally unemployed' writer-geniuses. It's a living.

[iron_fist_]

I would appreciate any recommendations that you have. I see you also got my name right. I take it this is a good sign?

[616aisha]

I'm a comedian, Randy. I get your name wrong for comic effect. That a little too highbrow for you? Should I stick to fart jokes?
