Re: Young Avengers, Vol. 2, Issue 1

[ideaofamerica]

They're not my team anymore, they can do as they damn well please. Yes, even her.

And as for your "muse" for me, I'd rather it stay sleeping.

It's not that bad, is it? My mun still needs to get down to the store and pick it up..

[ideaofamerica]

I'm... gonna wait 'til s/he does. Let's just say my mun wants words with your boyfriend.

[dorkling]

See, now my mun is curious and is more willing to risk what he calls lame art to find out.

[ideaofamerica]

My mun liked the art, but I guess that's just her style.

[dorkling]

He'll just complain for weeks and then finally get used to it and not care anymore.

...it happens every time.

[ideaofamerica]

Don't I know it.

She's just going to keep complaining to me that I'm not in it. Like there's anything I can do about it from inside her head.

[dorkling]

It's the first issue, there's nothing to say you won't show up later.

I think it would be weird if you didn't.

[ideaofamerica]

Gillen said I won't. He said Tommy will in issue six, I think, but he doesn't have the rights to me or something.

Whatever.

[dorkling]

How does that even work out? Doesn't have the rights to you? Sometimes I don't get all the politics and money changing that goes on in Comics.

[ideaofamerica]

I don't know. It was on his tumblr somewhere. He said he got a "Can't Use Eli note."

[dorkling]

That is totally LAME.

[ideaofamerica]

My mun thinks so too.

[ Eli disagrees because he's a stubborn poop. But mun has headcanon that brings him back around someday...]

[tricksterschoice]

What's going on? Did you guys disband? Why?

[ Questions questions questions are all Sylvie has. ]

[ideaofamerica]

[ Oh Sylvie. ]

Yeah, kind of. It's complicated.

[tricksterschoice]

[ She's actually missed Eli and the other Young Avengers. She really should have listened to them and accepted their help when they were giving it. Because she fell into another bad crowd and hurt a lot of people when she thought she was doing things for the greater good. ]

But you guys were ...like... tight.

[ideaofamerica]

[ That's why superheroism is too dangerous. That's why Eli had to quit. ]

We were, but some things happened, and we ...lost some friends of ours.

[tricksterschoice]

[ Awww. Poor Eli. ]

That's horrible! Why did that happen?!

[ideaofamerica]

[ Life got dark, Sylvie. ]

Everyone fighting over nothing, some people [ aka Eli, among others ] made poor decisions... it was all fucked up. [ Excuse his language. ]

[tricksterschoice]

But - but - but! That can't break you guys up! No said "sorry" or, like ...apologized?

[ideaofamerica]

You can't just say sorry after two of your best friends are dead. Sometimes you just have to walk away.

[ rationalizing decisions you disagree with... RP 101! ]

[tricksterschoice]

Oh my gosh!

[ horrified face and wide eyes!! ]

Who died? No - wait! I shouldn't ask that. I'm sorry. But - oh my gosh.

[ She's just going to be a silent torrent of emotions now. ]

[ideaofamerica]

It was Stature and Vision. Cassie and Jonas.

[tricksterschoice]

But she was supposed to get her daddy back!! [ As Sylvie doesn't have a daddy (or mommy, unless you count Loki, which Loki apparently has said, don't) she's overcome with sudden grief. ]

She'll be back ...right? I mean - she's gotta come back! Heroes do that. The both of them. Weren't they, like, an item?

[ideaofamerica]

She did, for all the good it did her.

[ He just shakes his head.] I don't know. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they should just stay dead.

[tricksterschoice]

Is there ...can I take some flowers to her memorial? She's got one of those, right?

[ideaofamerica]

Probably, in New York somewhere. I don't live there anymore.

[tricksterschoice]

I'm so sorry, Patriot.

[mischief_reborn]

[Loki still refuses to be your mother and or father, Sylvie. Whoops.]

[tricksterschoice]

[ If she knew what he'd done to his younger self -- guiltlessly letting someone else go through trial and error just so he could take over and walk free as if everything was better -- she'd happily call herself parentless.

But since this is dear_mun and Sylvie can read over her mun's shoulder... ]

Go. Away.

[mischief_reborn]

[Hey now. The kid won, he lost. So there was that. He didn't bother trying to change his mind about who won either. But, only Loki knows the truth.

He still drinks milkshakes though so there is some hope for him after all.]

I said not a word.

[tricksterschoice]

Who cares. Just go away.

[mischief_reborn]

Sleeping is boring though. Besides... You can't just ignore what you accomplished, even if you gave it all up.

[ideaofamerica]

What exactly did we accomplish? We ran around pretending to make a difference and all it did was get people killed.

[mischief_reborn]

You changed the minds of many. Showed people that even young people can be heroes. While some die because of what you and the others did... You save twice as many.

[ideaofamerica]

Doesn't make it any easier.

[withlucyinthesky]

My mun seems to think this could potentially lead to interesting ...I believe the term is 'CR' with your castmates.

[ideaofamerica]

Yeah, maybe. I'd rather she not make me get back involved.

still in human female form

[withlucyinthesky]

I wouldn't mind an opportunity to see my friends

[ 'sup? friend of Dorrek]

and my beloved.

still out of uniform

[ideaofamerica]

[Meanwhile, his beloved is shacking up with alien dudes she doesn't even know the name of. No offense.]

I walked away from all that. From them.

[withlucyinthesky]

[ None taken. He's just the Kree that broke Xavin's neck.]

That...must've been difficult.

[chanting]

It's questionable whose team we are at this point.

[ideaofamerica]

Or if you are one at all.

[Billy, what were you thinking?]

[chanting]

That too. It's easy to jump the gun right now with speculation... but, it's not like we can go back to what it was.

[ He thought he'd been doing the right thing. Honest. Sometimes he just doesn't... fully think things through or what sort of consequences they might bring. ]
