    Summary

    Tonight is the night. Vanessa is once again single, and Wade continues to be ready to mingle.

    Except this week's game night, she brings over the new guy she's been seeing. A hulking, meaty, steroid of a human being with way too many abs and an obnoxiously chiselled jaw, who calls Blind Al "ma'am" and generally hates Wade the second he lays eyes on him. And just like that, the jealousy is back and threatens to eat Wade alive.

    Jealousy over Vanessa, of course. Because it is definitely, absolutely about Vanessa.

    And that feeling in the pit of his stomach whenever he sees Logan can obviously only be hatred.

    Summary

    "I'll probably see you around?"

    "Probably not," Logan says, something in his spine still shaking even now, and Wade looks at him with those huge dark eyes that look--hurt, maybe, heartbroken, and Logan knows he has to get up and leave before he can't.

    Each step is agony increasing, the thing in his spine trembling ever-harder and then Wade calls his name and he stops, turns, sees those eyes again; pleading, desperate.

    A rush of emotion slams into his hindbrain, it feels half foreign and half his own; don't do this can't do this without you please stay please stay stay stay stay let me stay stay stay

    "Come home with me," Wade blurts out, and Logan finds that he's taken steps toward Wade without realizing it, closing the yawning gap between them, and the thing in his spine relaxes just a little.

    "Okay," he says.

    (In which something very interesting happens underneath the Time Ripper, and Wade and Logan deal with the aftermath.)

    Summary

    Marc Spector is American. Of course he is: everyone knows that all the real heroes are American. Guilty, miserable Jewish boys shivering on a London park bench at eight o’clock at night because they’re too scared to go home aren’t heroes. Sitting alone on the bench in the gathering dusk, Steven practices an American accent. He pretends Marc Spector is his friend. He talks to Marc Spector. He wishes, more than anything, that he could be Marc Spector.

    How much does the universe hate him and want to punish him?

    This much: his wish comes true.

    Or: What if Steven had come first?
