Summary: It's love at first for Billy.
Also @ AO3

It's love at first sight for Billy. She's a goddess even when doing dirty laundry. Her hair is the colour of the sun at dusk, a mass of orange flame against her pale skin. She's beautiful on the outside.

Moreover, he discovers she's beautiful on the inside. She's kind, generous, a compassionate idealist. She wants to change the world. He can relate.

The problem is he's tongue-tied around her. He mumbles and blurts out awkward things.

He decides to build a freeze ray so that he can halt time and tell Penny how he feels. Once done, he thinks, he will be able to do it again, with time unfrozen. He'll proudly tell her that he loves her and she'll say she loves him too.

For love of her, he'll succeed.

Heh.

He'll proudly tell her that he loves her and she'll say she loves him too. For love of her, he'll succeed.

Ayyup, I'm sure that's just how it'll go, Billy my lad.

Poor Billy and his tragically doomed love affair (and poor Penny, being the girlfriend of a superhero or supervillian rarely ends well). Thanks for the lovely comment :)
