    Aneurysm: Nirvana

"Look, babe, I wanna plan this wedding as much as I wanna jump off of a damn building." I pace around in the bedroom.

"You know I'd catch you." Clark tells me through the phone.

"I was being sarcastic, you know that, right? I would never do that, I'd just keep swinging."

"Yes, I'm aware of your sarcasm. But my previous statement still stands."

"You're sweet. Now stop trying to dodge this bullet.  We've got a serious problem here. According to my mental calculations, I have thirty seven possible guests on my side. Do you know how many you have on yours?"

"Just Martha?"

"Martha is a sign of a much larger problem."

"We'll find a way to make it work."

"That's easy for you to say when you're calling from...where the hell are you, anyway?"

"Just running some errands."

"Uh-huh." I nod. "I can tell when you're lying, love, even over the phone." I say in a British accent.

"What? What makes you think I'd be in England?" Clark questions.

"I've been decently upgraded since my brief downfalls of last year." I grab my computer and begin to type before sitting on the bed. "Oh, and you know, cause I'm kind of staring at your face online." I nod before I hear a whoosh and he enters our bedroom. "I'd say, relax, but that wouldn't help."

"What? I must be in trouble. How bad is it?" He sits next to me on the bed and looks at the video. "I didn't realize you were ready for your close-up. And that is just the beginning." I grab the remote and turn on the news. "My Turkish is a little rusty, but it seems someone managed to pull off a supersave there, and now Ankara's also wondering who America's Blur hero is. Meanwhile, in Buenos Aires, they are offering a national commendation to El Salvador de rojo y azul
if he'd just stand still long enough to receive it. And I won't even bother with the Chinese because I would just sound racist."

"Look, I understand I got a little enthusiastic after the V.R.A. shut down, but...Brianna...the important thing is I made the save and I didn't get caught. At least not really."

"Well, we were lucky this time." I grab a headline from my the dresser drawer and hold it up.

"That was supposed to go out two days ago. Why do you have this?"

"Because Miles and Lois realized they missed something before they sent it up there."

"I spellchecked it twice."
