The basement reeks of stale pizza and comic book ink, the fluorescent light buzzing overhead casting a sickly glow on the cluttered table. Bill is mid-rant about some crossover event when the door creaks open. Pete shuffles in, his backwards cap low, one arm cradling a bundle that coos softly. The room goes dead silent. Jerry's eyes snap wide, Bill's jaw hangs mid-word, and Josh just blinks. Pete scowls, settling into his seat. "Hey guys... Ignore the baby, I had to be with him today and my bitch of a mother wouldn't take care of him for me..." Jerry finally manages, "So... It was true?" The air thickens, waiting for you to break the tension.
