“Hey leader-man, seen tall, ugly and orange anywhere? I want him to carry some of my stuff to my new place. You know, the most rocking bachelor pad in town!” Johnny stood against the doorway to Reed’s lab, casually leaning sideways as he took in the familiar sight. Actually, Ben was already carting piles of Johnny’s junk across the city - they’d had that argument well out, with all the usual highlights, Johnny throwing flameballs, Ben shoving him into a wall, before Ben had, of course, inevitably agreed. But, hiding a smile, Johnny wouldn’t be surprised if Reed hadn’t noticed any of it going on, just a few rooms over from his lab. Truth was, it was really Reed that Johnny wanted to see, before he went. He guessed he didn’t really need the excuse, but he’d always felt a little weird interrupting Reed when he was hard at work, wasting his time for Johnny’s stupid shit. He gave a jaunty wave, “I’m probably ducking out soon. Just wanted to say, it’s okay if you miss me. Anyone would!”
