Brooke's ass hurts. When it comes to it, so do her arms, thighs and back, because pretty as he is, Yorick weighs an absolute ton

Yorick groans and turns, moves restlessly in his sleep. "Onem'reminutemom," he says into the pillow.

Yorick wraps his arms around Brooke. Maybe a little too tight to be casual, but it's been a surreal few days, and he thinks maybe he's allowed.

"Skrulls are an alien race. They look like reptilian humanoids, but they can shapeshift into anything they want. They're powerful. Just as soon as I feel like walking I'm gonna go hunt you down a copy of Fantastic Four or something and show you," he says.

"I think I'd feel better not knowing what just tried to murder you in your sleep," Brooke sighs, "But fine. Bring me your fancy picture book. Maybe you'll be in it this time, now that you've lived it."

[alas_yorick]

"Comic book, Davis. Comic book," Yorick says.

"Hey, I was kind of heroic. ...Accidentally. Me and Nate tried to save Nico de Gallo from sudden death, and it worked. It's better for Nate that it was a dream, though, poor guy."

[brookesmart]

"Nico was in your 'comic book'?" Brooke asks, putting actual airquotes around the phrase. "As in your estranged wife?"

[alas_yorick]

"Yeah. She's kind of a superhero, so she belonged there way more than I did. Only reason I can figure I was there at all was either because of Nico and Kate, or because I lived in New York once upon a time. A saner, more normal time," Yorick sighs.

"Maybe you're a superhero, too," says Brooke, smiling at the thought. She ought to be running down to the Compound to tell Priestly that Yorick's awake, but she's exhausted and too comfortable now to move.

"And you just came here before you realized it."

[alas_yorick]

Yorick snorts, lifting a hand in mockery of a news title. "Yorick Brown and his group of intrepid explorers discover the cause of the plague, a giant radioactive comet that fell to Earth. When our young hero stepped too close, he transformed, developing muscles and abilities far beyond those of a mere mortal! He will now be known as...The Incredible Orthodash! Until next time, make mine Marvel!"

Yorick lets his arm drop.

"N'aw. I'm from some shitty post-apocalypse book written by a woman, I just know it."

[brookesmart]

Brooke gives a sleepy giggle against his chest, though it may be because she's now picturing Yorick in tights.

"The hell is an Orthodash?"

[alas_yorick]

"Actually I don't think it's anything. Tony suggested it for a superhero name for me. I think maybe he was thinking it was a tilde or something? I dunno, but it's Tony Stark. I'll take it," Yorick answers.

[brookesmart]

"Right, your other other other boyfriend," Brooke agrees. "It's practically gospel, isn't it, Punctuation Man?"

[alas_yorick]

"Stop speaking blasphemy, woman," Yorick says. "I can't help it if Tony Stark is the perfect specimen of a man."

[brookesmart]

"He does wear the hell out of a crown," Brooke has to admit. "I met him at the Midsummer party. He's..." She sighs deeply. "Handsome."

[alas_yorick]

Yorick doesn't like the sound of that sigh. "Hey now," he says, giving her butt a light swat. "You just keep it at that, a keen observation and nothing more."

[brookesmart]

"Oh, I'd keenly observe him, all right," says Brooke, and maybe she's playing it up now, but she can't help herself. "I'd keenly observe him all over."

[alas_yorick]

"Dude, seriously. The guy's awesome, but he's also a manwhore," Yorick says, poking her in the side.
