Avengers Academy presents, homeless and looking!

[blackandlight]

Man, you act like being photogenic is a bad thing. Those icons aren't gonna make themselves.

Now here's the deal. You wanna drop me in a game? Sure, fine, whatever, have fun, can't be any worse than some places I've been. Two requirements. I want a generous timeshare in the limelight, and let's say-- six hot chicks to cater to my every whim. At least six. Harems are the new black.

Also - no Survivor. Just putting that out there.

[blackandlight]

Well, there's nothing to say I can't pencil you in for tomorrow.

[LEER]

[codenaming]

Unfortunately I am busy then too.

[...]

Does this actually work with anyone?

[blackandlight]

You'd be surprised. Pleasantly, I'm pretty sure.

[well he's not going to waste time on lost causes so here, have an orange that he totally just. conjured out of somewhere. He tosses it to her in a little underhand motion.]

So who're you?

[codenaming]

[oh well if we're establishing cool powers, by the time she catches it she's already blue aww yeah.]

Mystique.

[ok maybe Charles is right about the codenames...]

Or Raven, whichever.

[blackandlight]

[... WELL THE ORANGE WAS REALLY JUST D_M MAGIC but you're blue.

That's a thing.

Also you're named Mystique.

um.]

... That Mystique?

[codenaming]

[you know what shh she can be blue if she wants ok

also. what.]

"That" Mystique? As opposed to what?

[metalwield]

[ HI KIDS I don't even have some extremely pleasant menacing ]

No. Not that Mystique, not yet.

[codenaming]

Planning on letting me in on the big secret here?

[blackandlight]

Oh, this sounds fun. Don't mind me, I'm just gonna-- yep.

[he pulls up a chair. Man, he'd kill for some popcorn right about now.]

[metalwield]

Not with an audience, I'm afraid.

[ also pointed look at Brandon ]

If you've heard of her, then I don't need to remind you to watch your tongue in her presence, do I? Whoever you are.

[codenaming]

[she raises her hand.]

Still confused.

[blackandlight]

And I guess you're going to tell me you're Apocalypse, right? Yeah.

[SO DRYLY.]

It's some sort of alternate timeline/universe deal, Mystique. Don't worry about it. Happens all the time to people like us.

[metalwield]

She's not like you. And don't answer questions when you don't understand the situation.

[ but to Raven, of course, ]

--the alternate timeline thing he said.

[codenaming]

Okay, that makes sense I guess. But what's got me so notable?

[blackandlight]

I'll let you field this one, big guy. Since you seem to know her so well.

[he'll just kick back and relax.]

[metalwield]

[ Right. That's about enough from the peanut gallery. Since the kid is so obligingly sitting down, Erik wraps metal around his ankles to bind him briefly to that chair, sends the entire thing scooting out of the room with a flick of his hand, and slams the door after him.

It's very satisfying. ]

I hope that's a rhetorical question, Raven. You know very well that you're a remarkable young woman.

[ And a mutant. And working for the CIA. Or possibly not, anymore, and Erik isn't going to tell her a damn thing about the future if he can avoid it. ]

[blackandlight]

[can you hear that startled exclamation of 'you're fucking Magneto? as you manage that? Because YEP.]

[codenaming]

[....well okay then.]

I'm not sure that was really what he was going for there. Why are we being all secretive?

[oh come on the 007 stuff is the best! tell her about that! she's got a cool team although she would maintain Shortpack is still the lamest codename. And this is coming from a codename lover.]

[metalwield]

We're being 'all secretive,' Raven, because it's safer that way. We don't know who he works for or what he can do, or how he feels about mutants.

I also don't know what kind of timeline you're from.

[codenaming]

I meant we like you and me, it's probably better that that guy isn't here but...hm, maybe you should ask me questions about things and I'll tell you what happened and we can go from there?
