You will not speak slander (Open)
Newspapers flew about the living room then burst into angry blue flames, any loose objects in the room seemed to rattle, and Martin was looking at the TV like it was going to be his next victim. Too bad it was a wall mounted one.

He hadn't seen Dr. Strange in a while. That wasn't too odd in itself, after all he did often have things to do that took time, but it'd been longer than usual and even Wong hadn't heard anything. Up until this point, Martin had only been worried because it'd been so long and Dr. Strange had promised to teach him certain spells as a birthday present. But his birthday had come and gone and no Dr. Strange was around. So Martin had been spending his time at the HQ feeling a little dejected.

Of course, that was until he saw the news.

Liars! They were nothing but LIARS!!

Dr. Strange was The Greatest! He was Sorcerer Supreme! Did people not know what that meant?! He'd never ever do the stuff they were claiming. Never! How dare these people talk nonsense and slander about his mentor? How DARE they?!

Martin stomps off to the training room to unleash a little.

"I can, and I'm working on that. But I mean...it's difficult and even if I perfect my control I'll still always need the gloves because the magic isn't manageable without them. There's still always going to be the danger of accidents," he shrugs and fiddles with his gloves a bit. It was just something he'd come to accept, best to do it early. Physical contact with things would always be kept to a minimum, that's just how it was and it was easier to live his life if he just accepted that straight out right away. Better to accept you wouldn't be able to do things early than suffer delusions about it.

"I mean, I just tell you in case it comes up. And so you don't think I'm being rude if I don't shake your hand or something. I promise I'm doing my best and I won't turn you into a potted plant or something by accident."

	"That's alright," he says and looks to change the subject. "Oh, if you'd prefer, I won't tell the others about the accent if you don't want me to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She giggled a little at that. "I am guessing they already know." She considered. "Well, some of them, anyway. But I would appreciate it if we kept it secret." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I bet Bea already knows and wonders why you keep it up. The rest probably suspect but you're pretty consistent with it so they can't be sure." "Okay. It's a secret, I promise. I'm good at secrets." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She grinned. "I am certain Bea knows, possibly Kelly as well. But both of them understand the purpose of theatrics." "Thank you, Martin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No problem," he grinned and tipped his hat to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)
