I was the best pilot at the Garrison when prior to everything that happened. At the time, I didn't have the same muscles that I do now so I think it was more of an admiration thing.

[doubled_speed]

Soooo I'm hearing there wasn't any amazing pin-up art?

[Teasing. He's teasing. Totally.]

[lionunchained]

[He laughed at that] Well, there might be, but if it looks like now, it is exaggerated. And not officially licensed.

[doubled_speed]

[That other part has him snorting in amusement.]

Tell me about it. Downside of being a super hero is secret identities. Which means you don't get ANY of the cut of the merch.

[lionunchained]

[He chuckled at that]

Since it was officially a military operation, there was no merchandise for individual people. Ships, sure, but not for people.

[doubled_speed]

Really? So you're telling me Lance had to make his little shrine out of publicity photos only? Ouch.

[lionunchained]

[He laughed at that]

Yeah, pretty much. Never did anything other than publicity photos unless he got some from somewhere else.

[doubled_speed]

I don't know. Sounds like he might well have gotten some elsewhere.

[He chuckles and shakes his head at that.]

[lionunchained]

[Shiro shook his head as well]

I should say that surprises me, but it doesn't.

[doubled_speed]

[He chuckles and shakes his head.]

That just struck you as a Lance thing?

[lionunchained]

Yeah. He definitely had kind of idol complex when we first started so I wouldn't be surprised if he had created a shrine before we started working together more often.

[doubled_speed]

I suppose I could, you know, understand it. I've seen it happen with super heroes back home.

[lionunchained]

Someone having an idol complex for them?

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, all the time. Billy had posters and figures of more than a few figurines. I wasn't quite the same sorta nerd.

[lionunchained]

I see. Must be rather interesting to consider, since they are not made people in your world, but real people. I would think it would strange to see an action figure of myself.

[doubled_speed]

Really, it's the knock off ones of yourself that are the problem.

[He hated the way the hair looked on that one for him.]

[lionunchained]

[That did get a laugh]

Yeah, I guess it would. Knock-offs are always wrong so they can't get in trouble. So then you are looking at something that isn't quite you.

[doubled_speed]

Tell me about it. They made my costume MAGENTA

[lionunchained]

[He couldn't help the laugh at that comment]

Sorry, sorry. Just trying to picture that. Would you like to come in? Have something to drink?

[doubled_speed]

[Well that earns a smile.]

Yeah, I could do that. What you got to drink?

[lionunchained]

[He gestured for Tommy to enter]

Tea, coffee, beer, you know. The usual.

[doubled_speed]

Coffee?

[Tommy perks up at that, and he slips through the door with a smirk. Speedsters, give them an inch, and they're suddenly several feet inside your space before you can blink.]

[lionunchained]

[Considering he had offered for him to come in, he wasn't going to complain about Tommy coming inside]

Yeah, I have some. I'll get it started.

[doubled_speed]

Dude, have I told you that you're my literal hero here? Like, COFFEE.

[lionunchained]

At least not today. [Shiro said this with a chuckle before heading to make drinks] It may not be the best, but it is at least passable.
