He flicks his tail and giggles and hugs her.

She hugs him back, giggling, too. "...I love you," she tries, and giggles more. "Yep. I definitely do."

"I love you too! You're beautiful and amazing and adorable and we're going to save the world."

"Right back at you! We're gonna be the best hero couple since Flashbang and Brandish."

"Who?"

"They're part of this team of unmasked superheroes, independent from the Protectorate. They advocate more stringent policing of capes and not hiding identities and such."

"Oh, interesting."

"Yeah, and they're two families, Flashbang and Brandish are Carol and Mark Dallon who are married."

"Huh. An interesting concept. How's it working out for them?"

"No takers so far," she shrugs.

"I guess we'll see. That's the sort of thing I might want to think about after we save the world - whether or not it would be good for more capes to reveal their identities."

"Depending on how complete your definition of 'save the world' is, that might be a moot point."

"Oh, you know. The Endbringers all dead, the Enemy likewise. That's the point at which I start seriously dealing with lesser problems."

"That sounds like a good definition for having saved the world!"

"I thought so!"

Snuggle.

Snuggle snuggle. Adoring snuggles.

She squirms a bit. "Did you always look at me like that?" she wonders.

"I don't know, did I? I haven't been keeping track."

"Mmm." She kisses him some more. "I wonder what I can manage to do to you in the time it takes for food to arrive."

"Let's find out!"

Yes. Yes she will.
