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.

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?

[kittysdragon]

Kinda. Heed prefers awesome Dragon Guy. Most consultin' I do is settin' bad guys on fire. Anyway, we Pet Avengers are still as good as the human guys and gals, we're just more furry and scaly and the like. Though we lost one of us lately. [Poor Redwing, Heed hopes Sam will handle the loss, thanks to Kitty he knows how special a psychic bond can be.]

[It's the thought which counts anyway Scott, so Lockheed appears happy.] It don't seem simple at the time, but I wish things were different sometimes. I... miss Logan. And the Prof.

I'm happy about Kitty and Quill getting married! Was a time I kept wantin' Kitty and Pitor... Colossus... together, but that's gone now I guess. And Quill ain't so bad. Better than that freakin' Pete Wisdom for her anyhoo.

[girlfriend_beyond]

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

[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.

[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.]

[initia_nova]

[Have a raised every brow back.]

Oh, I've never heard that one before.

And you are, miss...?

[initia_nova]

[Scott chuckles.] Maybe you can get that printed on cards and give them to people.

[He's used to furry, scalyand alien. All that could describe the Starjammers screw perfectly. At the mention of a loss, Scott goes back to his usual serious self.] I am sorry to hear that. It never gets any easier, not even in our line of work.

I never really got to know Logan properly but I understand. I miss...the Professor too.

[And it's a really sore point for Scott, giving how his adult self is the cause why he's gone in the first place.]

Things change, so do people. If I learned something is that the future is unpredictable so better enjoy the present while you can. Who was Pete Wisdom?

[He never got to meet him. And does Kitty just date men named Peter?]

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.

[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.]

[wild_child]

Rose. Rose Logan.

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.

[initia_nova]

Nice to meet you, Rose.

You know my older self, I take it.

Good, good. Me too, really busy with work lately but enjoying myself in rpland.♥

[initia_nova]

[The thing is, Scott knows that mind reading is not right, no matter how curious he is about it. he had enough people messing around his head to now go an ask someone to do that for him.]

...

Yes, I do. But things will be different from now. [For good, he hopes, but he can't assure her that.]

[kittysdragon]

Not sure where Heed would keep those. Don't tend to wear clothes like yeh humans do. Or do much filing.

[If Lockheed wasn't sworn to SWORD and liable to get some disapproval from Agent Brand he'd likely consider joining the Starjammers for short spells, being out in the stars again for a while.] Thanks. Redwing was one of our best guys.

...don't blame yeh self for what other yeh did, kiddo. It was more the Phoenix in the end anyway. Pete Wisdom is an ass hole Brit guy. Tried hitting on Kitty when she was still young, only really wanted one thing. Had to be the big bro for a bit, since he's charmin' in that annoyin' way.

[wild_child]

[She smirks.]

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

excellent, I hope work has calmed down for you some ;; wake stuff going great?

[internalflame]

Things certainly are different now.

[ She's of the belief that they're worse off than they ever were before, but if she voices that opinion out loud it contradicts herself earlier. The last thing she needs on top of everything else is a poor opinion of being a future teller and being someone who will give up. ]

Do you still think we have a chance to turn things around? [ Instead of listening to her insecurities, she places the burden on Scott. He's used to this by now, isn't he? ]
