A talk between friends

The talk with Courtney went all right, but not nearly as productive as Billy would have liked. He was quickly resigning himself to the idea that there couldn't be anything more than what they had, because of his being Captain Marvel. Compound that with the other problems he was having these days, and he found he needed someone to talk to. He didn't want to dump his problems on Mary, so he did the next best thing and called an old friend.

"Hey Freddie. You up for sodas? I'm buying." Billy says, leaving his buddy a message with the time and location.

He enjoys his first soda while he waits for his friend to show up.
