"Goddamn, that was an epic fight."
"Heck yeah it was! Think the next fight will be Flash vs Hulk?"
Tifa looked at Cloud in a skeptical sense, "Why the Hulk?"
"To subvert the obvious Flash vs Quicksilver matchup." Cloud responded, "Plus, it would be more of a fight between Speed versus Strength. And that's something to be interested in."
Tifa was still unconvinced, "I'm pretty sure that it's gonna be The Flash vs Quicksilver, Cloud."
Cloud saw his opportunity, "Tell you what, let's make a bet out of it. If I'm right, and they don't use Quicksilver, then you have to take Yang out on a date. A romantic date."
Tifa blanched, but quickly recovered, "Fine, but when I win, you have to do the surrender speech from Red vs Blue in front of everyone." She countered.
"No prob-"
"While wearing your old dress." She added, "In a girly voice too."
Cloud's eyes narrowed, "Why don't you add 'and kiss a guy' while you're at it?"
Tifa's eyes lit up, "Ohh, thanks for the reminder. You also have to mack on… Dante." She added.
Cloud's jaw dropped. This wasn't supposed to happen! At least, not like this. Hopefully, the half-demon was also having better luck on his end of the plan.
"The research seemed rather solid to me." Dante said.
"And you're not just saying that because you also have a massive arsenal with a crapload of firepower?" Yang sarcastically asked.
"Well, that and the fact that Jak's weapons share an ammo pool, while Ratchet and Clank's weapons don't." He replied.
"I'm just thankful they didn't use the stupid 'pillar' thing again," She muttered under her breath before throwing a punch, "Whatever, Dante. You still have to answer for your crime of making Beast sing that…" She shuddered, "I can't even call it a 'song.'"
"Hm. So, what do you think on the next fight?" Dante asked. As punishment, he was forced to be the punching bag for a majority of the combatants present at the theatre. Didn't mean he couldn't banter, though.
"I'm kinda hoping that they won't do the obvious and pit The Flash against Quicksilver, but I have no idea who else Flash could fight." She replied.
Dante smiled, 'Yes! An opening!' he thought. "Eh, they had Green Arrow fight Hawkeye. So, I'd have to say that they're going to go for the obvious."
Yang scoffed, "Knowing the fans, they're probably going to say that Pietro is going to win on account of that new movie coming out soon."
"So, you think that they're going to use Quicksilver?" Dante prodded.
"I'm really hoping that they won't be that obvious." Yang replied.
"They do the obvious stuff, Yang. Except for your fight. Some people wanted to see you fight Carolina or Agent Texas. But, they got T."
Yang rolled her eyes, it was usually embarrassing whenever Tifa would claim that that specific nickname was reserved for the blonde, and the blonde alone. "I'd like to think that the hosts have a little more credibility than that."
"Tell you what, we'll make a bet out of it. If you're wrong, you have to ask Tifa out on a romantic date. Filled with those touchy-feely conversations that couples have." He smirked at Yang's discomfort.
"Alright, and if you're wrong, you have to make out with… Cloud for a full minute! While wearing a dress!" She rebuttled. "And you also have to do the surrendering speech from RvB.
Dante flinched. He and Cloud had forgotten that there was a possibility for them to lose as well, and that the two girls were cruel when it came down to bets.
"Tch, you have yourself a deal Xiao Long." He shook her hand.
"Thanks for the upgrades, guys. Those things are just so hard to get to." Tony said to Ratchet.
"Hey, no problem. I figure, why not help out around here if we're going to be living here?" Ratchet replied with a friendly grin on his face.
"Well, I'll be sure to check out your movie then." Tony replied, "Who knows? Maybe this will bring video game movies on the map. Marvel could use some competition if DC's gonna just churn out movies they don't put their heart into." He joked.
"Hm? How so?" Clank asked, getting down from his perch spot.
"I'll tell you in two words: No Jokes." The Iron Avenger said. "Seriously, after Green Lantern bombed, they have pretty much refused to put any humor into their films at all."
"Dang… Superman must not be a fan of that." Ratchet said, scratching the back of his head. "Say, where is big blue anyways?"
"Oh, he's off with Goku saving the multiverse or something." Tony waved off.
You're a whore. You know that, right?
Yes… I know…
You said that you weren't going to actually make the ship canon, and right now, you're making it canon.
I know.
Sell-out. That's what you are. You're a sellout.
You know, I only said that I would write a romantic dinner scene, I never said WHEN I'd do it.
… Cheater.
Just for that, I'm doing a Goku and Superman chapter next. Just so you can't bother me.
Aw, what?
