character love interests:
tell me of them

Who are your character's love interests? Do they have one true love in their canon? A series of failed relationships and angry exes? Have they sworn off love entirely? Do they have the hots for someone in the City?

Yeah, so basically feel free to tl;dr on the subject on canon and City love interests! If I get bored later, I might even make a chart showing about it!

p.s. this is how this went down last time, in case you wanna c/p your answers from a year ago!

Mitchell (or one of the rare, rare times I will use a shippy icon) has essentially sworn off love entirely!! He does actually have some failed relationships, most notably a one-off date with reporter Suzanne Padilla, who figures out the reason that they went on a date, and calls him out on her being his beard. (He doesn't deny it, either, and in fact confirms it.) So uh, yeah, they hang out a time or two after that, but there's an awkward tension left afterward due to Mitchell never telling her the truth about his sexuality, or his interests entirely, and then Suzanne does all this wild stuff and it ends awfully, but you know.

Oh yea, and there was the Catwoman-esque villain Trouble who was in love with Mitchell from his time as a superhero, and she had to threaten to kill herself before Mitchell would kiss her. No lie. Also he punched her, and broke his hand in the process.

Which, ah, brings me to the other part of this. Mitchell does have a love interest throughout most of Ex Machina, but you never really realize it until the end when there's a heartfelt confession that ends in, well, this is Mitchell, so it ends in misery. Essentially, you should never add "but" to "I love you too", is the thing to learn from this. Really, Mitchell should have known better, or something, but he didn't, so he had to deal with that mess, and so he doesn't have any friendships anymore and it's sad.

OH YEAH AND IN THE CITY? Uh, there was that time Electro kissed him which was weird, and he dated "Janet Black" aka Catwoman, but that's been it. He doesn't pursue relationships here any more than he did back home.
