About future shenanigans at the @wake and the latest comic issues

[initia_nova]

I think you worry too much about things that are beyond your control. [And that coming from Scott really means something, mun.] They will be all right, I'll make sure they are.

[Doesn't he always? Well, not always, but he does try his best.]

As for what happened...I don't feel any different. Not yet.
My heart still feels the same.

[kittysdragon]

Kinda lot to process lately, huh?

[initia_nova]

Yes but I would be lying if I said I wasn't used to strange things happening. Cosmic entities are a new level of complicated but not all that unusual.

You know how it is.

[kittysdragon]

Well duh, yeh have lasers for eyes, kinda set the ball rollin', kiddo.

Heed spent most of young days fightin' highly aggressive insectoid hive bugs. Pretty much used to anythin'.

[initia_nova]

They're not lasers, the beams don't generate any heat. It's concussive force.

[Yes, everyone always calls them lasers but Scott always feels the need to correct them.]...but I got what you were trying to say.

Life is never boring when you are an x-men. [Or a space pirate. Or a guardian...] I kind of miss the old days when all we had to worry was Magneto's crazy plans.

[kittysdragon]

[The little dragon smirks slightly at Cyclops' correction, but nods at the description.] >Yeh know it better than Heed would. But yeh welcome anyway.

Or Agent of SWORD or Excalibur person or... hmph, 'Pet' Avenger. [Lockheed doesn't consider himself a pet.] The time yeh came from did sound kinda simpler. Earth got more complex, I guess. But Heed feels the same about when I first joined.

[initia_nova]

[That gets a smirk back from him and a nod.]

Pet is not a good word. [Scott is with you in that one, Lockheed.] Specially if it's followed by the word 'Avenger'. Maybe 'Top Personnel Consultant'? Does that sounds any better?

[Probably not, but he tried.] Simpler...maybe it was. It never looked like it to us but after seeing how things are in this present time I have to agree.

How is it going for you?

[wild_child]

[Excuse her for a moment, Scott. Rose is just gonna stare.]

...Somebody put Summers in th' dryer?

[initia_nova]

[Have a raised every brow back.]

Oh, I've never heard that one before.

And you are, miss...?

[wild_child]

Rose. Rose Logan.

[initia_nova]

Nice to meet you, Rose.

You know my older self, I take it.

[wild_child]

[She smirks.]

Some people say I'm th' reason he started goin' grey.

[girlfriend_beyond]

Whatever happened doesn't matter if you don't want it to.

[initia_nova]

I don't, but things aren't always under our control. This is one of those things.

[Cosmic forces and all that Dana, he doesn't recommend you messing with them.]

[girlfriend_beyond]

We can still mitigate the effects if you don't want them.

[Messing with cosmic forces is kinda in her job description now, Scott.]

[initia_nova]

Assuming that's a possibility, you mean.

[Come to his world then, they need a lot of help with those.]

[internalflame]

Yeah... [ This doesn't help the 'everyone is against me' complex Jean's developed any, but at least she's on something of a leash here. ]

There went my chance of going anywhere.

Ey there,! It's been some time, hello!

[initia_nova]

[He has to frown at that. Not at Jean per se but at the whole idea of the Vortex affecting him.]

We still don't know what it is Jean. Or if it even is a thing for real.

it has been yes :D so glad to see you <3

[internalflame]

[ Just a tad bit relieved he's not mentioning her latest screw up. That's right--they have more important things to focus on. ]

There's much we don't know.

That's what I want to say, but then I'd be lying. [ There's much that's not known to others, but she knows too much. ] Afraid I'm not much help.

Likewise! I hope you are doing well :)

[initia_nova]

[If they started an screw up contest right now they would grew old before they figured out who did the worse thing.]

You know I am not a fan of that. [Not knowing, he means. In fact, it's his least favourite thing.]

No, it's fine. It's been a while we had a conversation anyway. Can't say I enjoy the subject but I missed talking to you.

I am :) Just haven't been posting regularly anywhere <3 Hope you're well!

[internalflame]

[ If he wants, she can tell him everything. All she has to do is reach out and the knowledge can be their own to have. No matter how many times she's grilled for it, reading the minds of those around her is second nature to her by now. ]

Do you really miss it? [ While the tone is one that accuses him, her gaze softens after as the regret fills her. ]

Sorry.

It's just been difficult. All of this--you know that more than others.

[ice_baby]

Wow... someone even more uptight than you?

[initia_nova]

I wouldn't say that. She just worries when things aren't under control.

[It does sound an awful lot like him, doesn't it?]

What about yours.

[ice_baby]

He's a bit crazy. Threw me into a... well! Let's not talk about that.

[It really does]

How you been Scott?

[initia_nova]

Where? Are you okay?

[Shhh, don't tell him.]

Fine. Really busy in the place she dragged me in too but...happy. [Which is rare.]

[ice_baby]

Yeah, I'm fine and doing good! I just... don't want to share the details!

That's good. You deserve to be happy with all the crap we've been put through since coming to the future...present. Whichever.
