As with most things concerning Rich and his stunted sense of self-worth, it was a good thing that Vance hadn't gotten telepathy to go along with his telekinesis.
Not that that was a complication that Vance had ever wanted in his life. EVER.
"Ah, but I'm pretty sure that it's against some sort of Nova regulation to leave the police box blue. Doesn't everything have to be gold and red for you guys?" It was a gentle tease, almost covering up the quaver in his voice. Because, for a moment, it was almost like the old days, before he and Angelica left to join the Avengers. Before Stamford.
Entirely too much of his life these days was divided into before and after Stamford.
Vance shook his head, pushing back some more pirates. "You know, I never have actually gotten out into space. Not properly, at least." There had been times, but nothing much. Nothing terribly interesting. "I mean, we absolutely should have been out there to help you guys."
If only they'd known. If only the people who had known had TOLD the other heroes in the world. Vance still wasn't happy with Tony Stark and SHIELD in the least, which was probably the reason why he hadn't rejoined the Avengers properly. The Academy, sure, but not really the Avengers. The kids had needed him far more.
