Feedback: *bats eyelashes*

Disclaimer: *grabs tapdancing hat and cane* I do the "Please Don't Sue Me, Mister Lee" number in "Let's Write A Fanfic!"

Continuity: The snazzy kiss scene in 'Dark Horizon - Part I.' Ref to the comics, anyone?

Notes: This was written to fulfill an old challenge a friend gave me (150 words, an unusual kiss, fits the canon). Did I get all three? Check. Boo yah. I be skilled.
