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?"

No outside business, no outside business, no outside business -- if he thinks it enough times, it might even become a spell.

Why did he decide to wear his costume to the bar today?

Norman doesn't react when he sees the kid, at first. He recognises him from the final Skrull battle, saw him at the end there, but it takes a second for him to recall the relevant old SHIELD file.

Young Avengers. Wiccan. Magic user.

(He really wishes he had the SHRA database, man. He'd put it on his Blackberry. Damn Tony Stark.)

He smiles. It's totally a pleasant smile. Totally.

Eeeeeeep.

Billy wonders if maybe Norman wouldn't notice if he ducked under the table or something. Because he is a hero and at least tries to follow the rules; he's pretty sure Osborn thinks he's above the rules. All the rules.

Meanwhile, he will continue to gape like a magical fish.

Ha! The kid's like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

God, it's weird but amazing to have that power as Norman, not just as the Goblin. He loves it.

He raises his eyebrows as if he is puzzled.
