Tommy was dreading this. He knew he wasn't the only one. Billy had to be too, or he wouldn't have asked Tommy to come too. And it was hard on David, too. And Teddy - he didn't even know Tommy was coming. It was fucked up.
He was prepared for a bunch of Skrulls being weird and formal, maybe for some really uncomfortable moments of remembering his escape. But he wasn't prepared for a couple of laughing kids who flung themselves at his legs and chattered happily.
Tommy liked kids. He'd taken to paying with some of the ones on the island sometimes, and he'd bonded pretty quickly with Molly, back when she was a kid. But these were little alien kids, and he had no idea why they latched on to him like they knew him. "What the fuck?" he said, trying to pry himself free. These were probably the kids they were here to help, since they just ran through the wall, but that didn't explain what was happening.
