Um. Nate and Dom has their Hell's Kitchen argument, which was... not quite a coin toss, because it pretended it wasn't about their relationship. Er... hell. Hold on here...
They blab a bit about... random crap, she mocks his choice of homes (I'll have you know I'm braving Ladronn art for this...)
"Don't knock it. It serves my purposes..."
"And what about me, Nathan? What purpose of yours do I serve these days? ...well?"
"I don't know, Dom... Things have been... complicated lately. Some things are becoming crystal clear to me... while other things just get more and more confusing. I don't know if I can explain this exactly... but I think I need to be here. I need the space..."
"I see. Space from me too?"
"Not necessarily--"
"Don't get caught up in your own melodrama. We've got enough of that in our normal lives--"
"Now, look--I'm not telling you anything you don't already know! Our lives aren't normal! That's obvious. But did you ever stop to consider that it's within our power to change that..." (And he grabs her)
"I'm warning you, Nate..."
"No. I want you to listen to me, Dom. It's important. The lives we've led... together and as part of X-Force... we've been cutting ourselves off from those we've sworn to protect! We were so busy being soldiers... that we forgot we were still human--"
"Hey, I haven't forgotten anything! This revelation you've had... this grand epiphany... those kids you taught alwaysknew who they were... and what they were!"
"Maybe. But they're on their own now, as it should be. What about you...?"
"What about me?"
"Look... I'll admit I'm struggling to find my way. Here, in Hell's Kitchen, I think I've found a starting point. I may still be searching but at least I know what I'm looking for now... a home worth fighting for. Can you say the same?"
"I... thought I could... but I guess I was wrong. Whatever it is I'm looking for... I'm sure as blazes not going to find it here."

It's a bad idea!
Re: It's a bad idea!
*better now*
Sayy... Dom/Nate did a version of the cointoss scene...didn't they? Or did we not get to see it?

"Jack."
"Daniel."
"Jack."
"Daniel!"
"It's a cookie, Jack."
"That is NOT a cookie, Daniel."
"What it appears to be is gingerbread, sir."
"Great. Anyone leave a trail of breadcrumbs back to the gate?"
"Jack, this is an archeological find."
"The find of the century?"
"You don't have to be so sarcastic, Jack."
"Yes I do, Daniel."
"Sir, there's a woman at the door. She's watching us."
"Have you been good little boys and girls?"
"Girl, singular."
"Carter's a girl?"
"Shut up, Jack."
"Um, no, we probably haven't."
"Oh, that's so sad. I was hoping especially for good little boys and girls to come along and eat me out of house and home."
"...there's a double meaning in that."
"Sir, I'm getting some interesting readings here."
"Carter, why are you waving the PKE meter around?"
"She thinks I'm a witch."
"There's no such thing as witches."
"Actually, I think the gingerbread is naquadah."
"She's not a witch, she's my wife!"
"...Daniel?"
"Yes, Jack?"
"Next time you discover how to decipher the seventh symbol? Don't."
"Yes, Jack."
