- Do we have to tell them? he asks while he strokes her hair.
- Of course we have to. Why wouldn't we?
- I'm not the most popular guy in you family. Frankly, they all hate me.
- No they don't.
- Yes they do. Remember when we told them we were engaged?
- They where happy for us if I remember correctly.
- Your father tried to kill me. And I don't know haw many times your uncle got invisible and tried to stab me in the back. On our wedding day he teleported me to the North Pole just so I wouldn't marry you. You even had to convince Hiro that I needed to be saved so that he would come and get me.
- But that was a long time ago.
- Perhaps. But last week Peter tried to throw me of the roof of the Empire State Building.
- It was an accident. He told me so.
- And I tell you it was an attempted murder.
- You're overreacting.
- I'm not.
- You are. I love you, and if I do then they'll have to too.
- But can't we wait a while longer before we tell them. I like my life you know.
She laughs at him and kisses him gently.
- Fine. We can wait a little longer. How long time did you have in mind?
- How about twenty years. Just until the kid's grown up and moved out.
- We can wait a few weeks, otherwise they will see it themselves. And then they will kill you, or at least yell at you.
He sighs.
- Fine. Just give me enough time to run for cover.
- Don't be silly. I'll protect you.
She smirks at him. And even though he's a bit terrified he smiles at her, takes her in his arms and kisses her passionately.
