"Today we'll be looking at love and deception," Drake said. "In movies, deception is often played for laughs. Take, for example, the movie ~~meta for~~ Never Been Kissed. Twenty-five year old wanna-be reporter Josie was a loser in high school, but sees a chance to have a do-over when she is assigned to pretend to be a high school student and write a story about the students. While she's there, she falls for her English teacher, who thinks she's just 17, and he's not too happy when he finds out the truth. And in ~~meta for~~ 10 Things I Hate About You, the lead character finds out that the guy she's falling in love with was hired by her sister's would-be suitor, because said sister was not allowed to date until her older sister did. This one's an adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew, by William Shakespeare. Willy and me, we go way back.

"Anyway," Drake went on, "both movies end with the lovers reunited, and all is forgiven. But do you think it's possible that someone can deceive another about who they are and cause them pain, yet still have a happy ending?"

Warren gave his shoulders a light shrug, quirking a small smile her way. At least mistaking him for an angel was a step up from that one girl who was more or less ready to pummel him back at the dance.

"Don't worry about it," he replied. "Wings aren't exactly a common commodity for people who aren't."

"Have you met Loki?" Joan wondered. "He's... not what you would expect an angel to be like."

"Loki?" Warren blinked, and then he was shaking his head a little. "That's one of the teachers, right?"

Joan nodded. "He's also the landlord for one of the apartment buildings in town."

An angelic businessman? One of Warren's eyebrows twitched upward at that, but he managed to shrug off the weirdness. This was Fandom. Weirdness happened.

"You figure I should look him up?"

"You could," Joan said with a nod. "I think he goes flying sometimes."

That right there was Warren's, 'oh, really?' face. He busted it out for moments like this, when little plots were percolating in his head.

"I might have to," he decided after a moment. "Thanks."

Joan smiled. "You're welcome. I'm Joan, by the way."

"Warren," he replied. "Warren Worthington."

The third. But who was counting?
