It always seemed to Roxie that the guys she liked most tended to use her full name. First there had been Vincent, and now there was Joe.
"No, it's fine," she said, nodding her head. "I like how you say it," she smiled.
"I think we're all scared of not being able to get out from underneath our parents' shadows," she admitted. "I mean, I took one of my mother's codenames, but given who my father was, the name had an entirely different meaning. But that hasn't stopped people from asking if I'd ever call myself Ms. Marvel one day." She wouldn't. Captain Marvel, maybe, if Bruce ever chose not to use that name, but she was happy being Warbird. It suited her well.

Even when they were kids, Roxie had been taken aback by Joe's all-American good looks - that warm smile that seemed to lighten up a room, those beautiful eyes that, when they looked at you, made you wish that you were the only person that he would ever look at...
Breathe, Rox. Breathe.
"You might have seen me on a billboard," she nodded. "I've done some work here and there for some designer and photographer friends. I'd consider making a career out of it, but I'm fairly certain my mother would have a heart attack if I certainly became a Victoria's Secret Angel."
