Title: Kosher
Universe: Young Avengers
Rating: R for language and themes.
Summery: Tommy asks a simple question while reading a book...
"Is licking your own balls Kosher?"
Billy's soda came out his nose, and he spluttered for several minutes while Teddy inched away from Tommy and Eli abandoned the Lair altogether. Vision looked up from the card castle he'd been building and silently thanked whatever fates guided the universe that Cassie and Kate had gone shopping.
Tommy, meanwhile, still had his nose buried in the book he'd snagged last time the team had kidnapped Eli from the library. "Well?" he asked.
"Why on Earth would you want to know that?" Billy asked, finally catching his breath.
"The book doesn't say if it is or not."
"And you're asking me because...?"
"Well, you're Jewish. I figure you'd be the person who'd know." Tommy said with a shrug. Billy scanned his twin's face, searching for some hint that this was some sort of strange joke, but the look on Tommy's face was one of sincere curiosity.
"I don't know," Billy said. "It's not listed anywhere that I ever read, but if you somehow manage to do it to the point where you actually get off, it's probably the Sin of Onan."
"Sin of Onan?" Teddy asked, befuddled.
"Spilling the Seed." Tommy supplied, turning the book so that Teddy could see it and pointing to a particular passage. Teddy made a face and quirked an eyebrow at Billy.
"I'm a Reform Jew," Billy pointed out, raising his hands. "We're a lot lighter on the sins and the guilt."
"Good to know." Tommy said before returning to his book, apparently satisfied with the answer he'd gotten. Vision returned to building his card castle, and Eli cautiously poked his head inside the room.
"Hey, does anyone know-"
"If this is another sex related question, we're going to find out if speedsters really do bounce when moving at high speeds."
