action;
[ He's a little envious, actually. Maybe not child-envy (isn't that a fucking terrifying thought), but the idea of future information that isn't harrowing or dreadful. Nate and Elena probably among those who deserve it the most. ]
Should I congratulate you on your kid you haven't quite gotten around to conceiving yet?
action;
[He'll take it, even if he hasn't earned the congrats yet. Not that his part in the baby-making is especially difficult.]
It is a pretty big spoiler, but I'll take it. A sign that I don't end up fucking things up irrevocably is pretty welcome.
action;
[ DRAMATIC PAUSE. What an ass. ]
Does that mean I get to say "I told you so"?
action;
[He doesn't doubt that there's probably a legit reason Tony might say it, but he can't remember specific possibilities at the moment.]
action;
"Elena will leave me forever, I'm the worst, this is the end, there's nowhere to go from here!"
The scene cuts to me, telling you you're overreacting and that's definitely not gonna happen, having foreseen your little Drake nugget with my endless wisdom and understanding of future events.
[ Listen just let him have the satisfaction of this. ]
action;
[Is accurate, honestly. Kind of. Not a great memory, but it is nice to know that his drunken fears hadn't come true.]
All right, so you can say you told me so and we're even there. But I didn't roll.
action;
"Sitting straight and dignified" for somebody that drunk definitely looks like rolling to the rest of the world.
action;
Yeah, yeah, don't enjoy it too much, your head will swell up.

action;
[He grins and gives his sketch one more look before closing the book.]
You know, if I want to practice on this parenting thing before my kid gets here, I can do it with myself now. Have you met the tiny me on the ship?
action;
[ NEVER FORGIVE NEVER FORGET.
But, actually - now that he mentions it... ]
Wait. [ Yes, he remembers that kid. ] ... That's actually a tiny you?
action;
[It's a long way from 17 to 34, but not as far as the kid probably thinks.]
Hey, now that we've both got doubles, wanna tell me if there's a secret club? I want to be in with the cool kids.
action;
[ Tiny Nate. An actual tiny Nate. How has the kid not stolen everything from everyone yet? ]
You seem to have confused "secret club" with "support group".
action;
[Tiny Nate has not stolen everything yet because Sully has not yet taught him stealth and discretion. Although it's arguable if he ever will.]
Does your brain try to twist itself into knots when you think about another you? Because mine absolutely does.
action;
[ Because honestly, holy shit. ]
He's from some alternate universe where things are especially ridiculous, from what I can tell. He won't tell me anything because he spends a lot of time worried about my delicate sensibilities or some shit.
action;
[In a different, worse way than Tony can be a dick.]
Mine's got the exact same life as me up to the point that he went to magic mercenary school in another dimension, apparently.
action;
[ He claps Nate on the shoulder. THANKS FOR EXISTING AND DRAGGING HIS ALTERNATE. ]
But are you seriously telling me mini-you got inter-dimensional kidnapped to Hogwarts before being inter-dimensional kidnapped here?
action;
I have no idea what Hogwarts is, but I guess so? He can do a bunch of shit I definitely don't remember learning.
Honestly, that makes it kind of a relief. If he had 100 percent lived my life, that would be even creepier. For him, too, I bet. I think he was weirded out by the wedding ring.
action;
[ You people are all so exhausting. ]
Your tragic lack of pop culture exposure aside, I'm not actually sure how comforted I am by the oddities of the multiverse. I mean, it's conceivable that there are infinite numbers of you out there who've lived all kinds of crazy shit. Crazier than magic boarding school, even. Doesn't that freak you out at all?
action;
Are you kidding me? Absolutely. I said him going to magic merc school makes it better, not that it de-freaks me. But if I think too hard about a thousand different mes living a thousand different lives, I'll never be able to sleep tonight.
[Although.]
Do you think if two different Elenas showed up, I'd be married to them both?
action;
[ Tony puts some exaggerated thought into that question, though. ]
Maybe? Look at it this way: threesome of a lifetime.
action;
[One to be enjoyed in private, though. He's not completely crude.]
Probably better if more doubles don't show up, though. For the sake of our sanity.
action;
Just because you said that, they're gonna start pouring through the Ingress in waves. Soon there'll be four of each of us. Hell, can you imagine more than one Hawke? Imagine it.
action;
There's no way that's gonna happen. Hawke is too singular. The universe could only ever create one of her.
action;
Yeah, but I also thought that about me.
[ He makes a grand gesture at himself, as if to say: see???? ]
