Icarus has few desires in his life (except -of course- flying through the sky). He completes his work and survives his father's desires for him. Icarus doesn't really look forward to the future. Not that he seek to erase it. The future is just there, neither terrifying nor exciting. How long can Icarus put off his father's desires before he ends up losing everything? What exactly is Dad seeking?
Joe wants a stable life with a stable boyfriend and a stable career. He does not truly think Icarus can help him. After learning the truth about Icarus being a superhero with bird wings and the son of Birdman, Joe really cannot leave the guy alone. Plus Icarus is cute. Can't blame a man for looking. Joe knows not to touch (or expect).
With 'Dad' ie Birdman making things difficult for the new friends and the interest of Big Ben (a corporation competing with Homer Industries), these two will have a lot more in their near future than they even thought possible. Surviving seems likely- Icarus always has before- but can they come out better for it not just alive?
