Three. Oh that is way too many. And don't worry, Steve, it's a good thing. Billy had been so terrified to come out, and to know that one of his favorite heroes had something in common with him would just make Billy more confident. Or would have in the past. His hero would be even MORE his hero. Tommy? Tommy wouldn't care either way.

Still, Tommy almost feels like he has to prove that he can take care of himself. That he doesn't need a supersoldier to protect him. So he looks around and finds a rock. Picks the thing up and just wiggles it between his fingers to make sure Steve notices it. He crosses five feet in almost no time and puts the rock down before running back.

"I'm more here to protect you."

He raises a hand and they start to vibrate, beyond the point when they are mostly a blur. And the rock shatters to pieces. And he frowns at that.

"Huh... Okay, normally it's more explosive than that. Or... vaporize-y. That's..."

What? Is there maybe a bit more concern, maybe just the briefest flash of fear. on his face.
