John Henry blinked at the maintenance man, and then blinked again. “Wait a second –”

Miles Duncan pulled off his disguise with a grin. “Hello.”

John Henry caught the faint sound of footfalls, so light that he would have dismissed them if not for the perimeter alarm he’d silenced a minute ago. The footsteps paused outside his open door. He took that moment to speak up. “I know that’s you, Double. Quit being sneaky.”

Ship It!!

1: What made you ship it?

Their first meeting as superheroes, and how smoothly they work together once they realize they're on the same side. and also all of the flirting they do in those issues.

2: What are your favorite things about the ship?

I really like the implication that Miles admires John Henry enough that he continues to act as a superhero/spy after their first team up - it's not something we see him wanting to do before, and he risks a LOT for John Henry in that first team up and clearly gave his father leverage over him to continue doing spy work. But you can also see how much he admires John Henry and his courage and how that seemingly has driven him to keep doing superhero work and helping John Henry.

3: Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I think this ship is more of a raft in the middle of the ocean with one paddle given its relative lack of popularity. So I guess the unpopular opinion would be that it exists and more people should read Steel 1994?
