Re: Hulkling/Apollo & Open
"I did," he replied. The teen sure did seem excited. Apollo had seen the footage of Hulkling in action, but it was a bit surreal to see him up close and personal in his "hulked" out form. Especially the looking up part. Definitely interesting. He offered Hulkling a small smile and gave him a nod. "Yes, I know he's here. We came together." He half-wondered if the kid knew that the two of them were engaged, but he figured that he'd let that bit divulge itself later. Somehow telling the gay kid you're overseeing that you were also inorganically screamed of "trying too hard to relate" and Apollo never wanted to be accused of that. Especially since, well, he couldn't. He didn't remember what it was like to be a gay teenager. He was always just...Apollo and Midnighter.
"We've got files," he replied, "but I only delve into what I need to. I don't monitor your interactions or anything like that. I just make sure you're safe." Well, Apollo didn't. Stormwatch, on the otherhand, might be. That was neither here nor there, though. "We can meet whoever you'd like to meet first," he said, "it's your shindig. I'm just...here." He offered him a smile and patted the side of the other teen's arm, a small sign to show he could relax.
