Somner was the first to crack. A sharp sound escaped him, a muffled snicker behind his hand as he tried and failed to look composed.
The corners of his lips trembled, eyes bright with the kind of laughter he was struggling desperately to keep down.
"Haha… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
The rest of the squad wasn't far behind. Cam smirked openly, Vera hid her mouth behind her hand but her shoulders shook, Victorina and Fiero both guffawed loudly and obnoxiously. Even Eris, who normally treated everything with that cold, detached air of hers, raised one brow in disbelief.
"Ok, ok, enough." Hermes covered his face. "Who the fuck wrote this script!?"
But it's far from over.
On the screen, Hermes' "love story" with Paragon had officially begun.
Actors, dressed up in spandex mockery of their costumes, reenacted what was supposedly the 'first meeting' between Copy Cat and Paragon.
