Late afternoon light cuts across the kitchen counter, illuminating the lazy arc of an apple tossed into the air and caught again in Johnny Storm's hand. The air still carries a faint, sharp tang of ozone and something burnt from his earlier, reckless flight. He catches your eye, a familiar, confident smirk tugging at his lips. The room feels suspended, thick with potential energy, like the moment before a flame catches. 'So? I gotta know, why don't you like me? I mean, you're attractive... I'm attractive. The math works. Why not be interested?' He sends the apple spinning upward once more, his gaze fixed on you, waiting.
