[Hawkeye Investigations. Gwen and Quire are on a couch. Cannonball Run 2 is on the TV, if it matters, but it's not important as long as it's on. Their clothes and Gwen's hair are slightly messed up.]
Quire: Hey, your memories are wrong.
Gwen: [close-up angry] ]What? Oh, man, [bold]did you look in my head while we were making out?[not bold]
Gwen: [smaller text, connected word bubble] I know you're my first super hero boyfriend, and that means settling...
Quire: [behind Gwen's head view, Quire is feigning shock] Oh, no! The deliberately provocative and rude mutant who is excited about the Phoenix Force [bold]looked into your memories without asking?[not bold] I have made an incredible mistake! I am sorry to have violated your privacy in [bold]the exact way you should expect me to![not bold]
Quire: Also, I heard that comment about settling.
[back to an external view, maybe framed so it looks like the West Coast Avengers reality show camera, but don't mess with the saturation or put REC in the corner, it would be like we're watching the finished show. Gwen is still pouting, Quire has his hands out and still looks bored and/or rude]
Quire: Really, though. I've seen a lot of heads. I know depression when I see it. Or maybe anxiety. Normal millennial mind problems, basically. The important thing? Your parents didn't resent you or think you sucked. That was all in your head. They were worried about you, Poole, because they were good parents. That's all.
Gwen: [closer but still reality show camera, tapping her face. She's touched by Quire's revelation.] Huh. Really...Well, thanks. Sorry about my dumb sad brain.
Quire: [reversed, smug face, hands out to his sides and shoulders shrugged, like a minor ta-da! pose] Well, you [bold]are[not bold] my first super hero girlfriend. That means settling.
[external view, both of them laughing bitterly.]
