I realise you have a great deal of reading ahead of you, but have you given any thought to what happens after?

I hope you realise I have great responsibilities to attend to. I've left my school in the most capable of hands, but Genosha needs –

Honestly, I worry that Genosha needs more than I am capable of giving. But I won't be denied the attempt.

You actuallt think there's an after when it comes to reading?

i hate when that happens

[mordantwit]

I can only assume. Granted, that's got me into trouble more than once.

Hello, Captain.

and I still typoed afggahk

[bests]

Why doesn't that surprise me?

Hello, Charles. Good to see you.

truly our greatest enemy

[mordantwit]

There's a saying, I believe.

And you. Your costume is lovely.

indeed.

[bests]

There's a saying for almost everything.

Aw, thanks. I'm pretty pleased with it.

[mordantwit]

It suits you.

How have you been faring?

[messiahed]

You should really wait to worry about the after part. It'll save you some stress.

[mordantwit]

[He can't help but chuckle at that.] Stress and I are very old friends.

[messiahed]

That's a little more sad than funny.

[mordantwit]

[Despite the wry smile still touching his lips...] I suppose it is, yes.

My humour runs a bit bleak, I'm afraid.

[messiahed]

Huh. I'd probably know that if I had talked to you more.

[mordantwit]

Perhaps. When will we meet?

[messiahed]

Not for a long time if you're still talking about Genosha.

[mordantwit]

[His face falls instantly.] I suppose we didn't rebuild, then.

[messiahed]

I... don't really know what happened with Genosha. Not the full story at least. It wasn't something I ever got to be a part of.

[mordantwit]

[He doesn't quite meet her eyes.] The destruction was - horrific. Absolute. But there were survivors. I was hoping to guide them, with -

[And his eyes widen, as his head jerks up.] Erik. What's happened with Magneto? [All caution for the time line, it seems, has been flung to the wind.]

[messiahed]

He was all right, last I saw him. He's in hiding right now. I haven't heard from him in awhile.

[mordantwit]

...I see. [He just looks rather despondent, for a moment, before offering a slight, rueful smile.] I'm sorry. I haven't been a very pleasant conversationalist.

[messiahed]

It's kinda what happens with all us mutants, I think. At least the ones of us that carry so much weight.

[wecanavenge]

[What.

What is this.

What.]

You actually did go bald. [No seriously what this is a slow process.]

[mordantwit]

Yes. [He gives her a piercing look.] And how much do you carry? [It should be an odd thing, to ask a teenager, but he hardly needs to be a telepath to realise she's older than her years. Besides, how many children has he thrown into the fray?]

[messiahed]

[ Well.... huh. ] None anymore. I did what I was supposed to.

[mordantwit]

[His eyes widen, slightly, and then he just...grins.] Well. Congratulations, then.

How does it feel? [He wouldn't know.]

[messiahed]

Thanks. [ Small smile, but... ]

I'm not sure. Kind of weird. What do you do next when you've done what you were born to do?

[mordantwit]

[flatly] Thank you, I'd never have noticed.
