Tony Napolitano is too cool for the room.

Fortified by a pint of his special Purple Haze ice cream, dressed in his teddy-boy finest (complete with dark sunglasses), and with a cigarette held in his mouth, he is slouched nearly horizontally on the couch by the fire, playing his beloved 1961 Höfner 500/1 electric bass (covered in a pin-up style painting of a certain redhead, holding a tommy-gun and surrounded by the words THIS MACHINE KILLS HEROES).

He's playing one of his favorite songs, apparently an extended version of it, only singing intermittently. He's actually got talent... which is a comfort of sorts, since it doesn't look like he's going to stop anytime soon.

Botherable. He can talk while playing... then again, he can also turn it up.

"My girl's a redhead, but she's not annoying," he says, giving the picture on the bass a brief, affectionate pat. "Tiny little brunette with a taste for dark eyeliner and really hairy guys? That'd be my godson's mother. Sweet girl."

There's a lot more he could've said about her, but he's in a mellow mood today.

"Forty-five bucks, and worth every penny."

He looks impressed. Very impressed. "So Edie's your wife. Nice."

Now the other description brings a devious smile. "So, it's not how Thirteen made it out to be the other night then. The lesyay thing between them's a put-on."

That tricky girl.

He looks back at the picture. "Looks like it," he says. "I'll have to put myself down for a subscription."

"Thirteen's got a girl anyway, or did last I checked," he says. "Dressing up like pirates and carrying each other off. Lesbians are weird."

Almost as weird as supervillains.

"You should see if you can order the Spandexwoman retrospective special-issue. It's a thing of beauty. I bought ten copies."

Kinky Thirteen is going to get made fun of at work.

"Pirate Thirteen. Now, there's a...vaguely wrong visual."

He's still trying to figure out just who the woman is.

"You wouldn't, by any chance, know her girlfriend's name, would you?"

Lesbian supervillains are the weirdest.

"Ten? Must be really great, since you've got her too..."

"She's a damn hot pirate, let me tell you. And not the bad kind either... or the cheesy kind."

He could elaborate, but prefers to let it stand right there.

"Not a clue. Wouldn't mind if it were my girl she's involved with, but she's not. That I know of. Never know what women are doing behind closed doors if you don't have cameras, right?"

It's a strawberry day.

"Edie's worth it. I'd have bought more, but they had a strict ten-copy-per-caller limit. And, well, I do have the original."
