Some superhuman willpower.

BWA ha ha haha! That's brilliant!

Ah, I could throw you down on the couch and do you right now. *g*

(But speaking of Will-power, he can make it rain, don't forget. I wonder if he's on Mohinder's list.*g*)

I *love* Nathan's excuses: the Congressman's stunt double? Fucking priceless.

And this -

Jesus, he thinks, and then, no, Superman.

- is awesome. *Really* awesome.

And of course Will read too many comic books as a kid. Heh heh heh... and it's funny, but everytime I write Nathan I think of TWW and all that research I did into american politics. It really comes in handy. So I'm amazed I never thought of a crossover - not that I'm write it, necessarily, but I'm sure I would have beggged for suggested it. :)

Thank you! *Kisses*

Too many comics as a kid? I think Will read too many comics during his last Christmas vacation! You're right, though, I'd forgotten how he made it rain. Well, we don't have a Storm-esque weather avatar yet, and Josh Malina is about as far from Halle Berry as it's possible to get.

I'm so happy you enjoyed this! It was super fun to write, which is so rarely the case for me anymore.

Aww, Will and Nathan. This was so cool and you really made the crossover work.

"Guys with glasses who read too many comic books," Petrelli mutters, shaking his head.

Heee!

Glad you liked (especially the tiny Hiro shoutout)!

Oh, this is great fun!

Yay! Hee.

Eeeeee! I've been saying there should be a West Wing-esque spin-off with Nathan since the show started. This is great, very cute, and I want to see more . . .

Thanks for reading; I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm not sure I have more in me, but let's just imagine that Nathan and Will eventually do lunch in the Capitol cafeteria, and that leads to a few drinks together at the Hawk and Dove, and then a few more drinks, and at the end of the night Will has unwittingly been recruited as an ally to the evolved-human cause and also they make out a little, ta-da!

Hi. Just: I’ve mailed you a sort of fiction-feedback thing, using the adress on your user info page. So if you get an e-mail from a person you don’t know, that’s what it is. Not sure I’d advice you to read it, though, seeing as it came out all weird. I simply wanted to say that I love your writing. I’ll shut up now.

Hi! I got your e-mail, and it's not strange at all, it's very sweet, and I'm going to respond as soon as I have a minute to write something thoughtful. I appreciate it very much.
