re-voicetesting

[ex_justlikedad293]

So you're really going to try this again?

I don't know. I don't know if I'm ready to relive, well, everything. I get that all my friends are there, and there's a chance I could be happy, but I don't think I can go through at all again.

...I don't want to go through that again.

The least you could do is send me to a place where my dad is. If you're going to send me someone and have me suffer through all that again, I should at least get the chance to be with him again. It's only fair.

When has anyone truly gotten what they want only because it is fair?

[ex_justlikedad293]

YOU!

[Her own anger surprises her an causes her to grow, only an inch or two, but she still grew.]

You're the last person whom I want to hear from.

[knowsbetter]

Be that as it may,what you want is of little consequence.

[ex_justlikedad293]

How do you even know that? There's nothing wrong with asking, which is what I did.

[knowsbetter]

I am referring to me being the last person you wish to hear from.

Concerning your wish to see your father, you have every right to ask. My point is you should not rely on anyone's sense of what is fair. Others may not share your view.

[ex_justlikedad293]

It isn't like you know what's fair. All you do is take, and I won't let you take anything else.

[knowsbetter]

I take what is rightfully mine or forfeit to me because to do so is my right, and because nothing has ever been given to me. If you think my life was laid out before me on a silver platter you are sorely mistaken.

Just as the mewling cub is forced to change his diet from the milk given to him to the meat he must hunt for himself, so must you learn that to survive you cannot rely on others to give you anything.

You make your own path.

[ex_justlikedad293]

My father's life wasn't yours to take! It was his life! YOU STOLE HIM FROM ME!

[She could feel herself growing as she yelled at him. And she really didn't care what he had to say. He killed her father and that's all she could could think about.]

Just- LEAVE. ME. ALONE!

[knowsbetter]

You have not been informed then. What point in time did your 'mundane' take you from?

[ex_justlikedad293]

Where do you think?

[From when she dies, which gives her all the reason to be angry.]

[knowsbetter]

I only ask because it seems they have forgotten to tell you that your father is very much alive.

[ex_justlikedad293]

[Stares.]

What...?

Hope threadjacking is okay.

[arach_nerd]

It's like you want us to stuff squirrels down your pants.

No complaints here.

[knowsbetter]

What you think I want is of very little concern to me, Spider-Man. I am simply trying to give the young Ms. Lang some prudent advice.

Re: No complaints here.

[arach_nerd]

It probably should concern you, since I've got Robbie Baldwin sharing space with me.

[Peter perches his fingers together, a la Mr. Burns.]

Imagine if you will, what would happen if I told him what you're doing, and he decided to share this with the girl who has a crush on him. The same girl, might I remind you, that you are utterly terrified of.

[knowsbetter]

Bah! Insolent cretin. Doom fears nothing. Nor am I doing anything other than sharing my wisdom.

[arach_nerd]

Hey,Robbie! Tell Squirrel Girl that Doom is bothering teenage girls and won't take no for an answer!

[selfhelp]

It's not so bad here. I mean, it's not great, and I'd rather be home, but it's livable.

...Sorry about your dad, though. I'd have like to meet him here, too.

[ex_justlikedad293]

Livable is better than what I have at home... and it is a chance to be with you guys again.

[selfhelp]

[Ouch. And he's even from before that happened...]

Ah... yeah. [Wince.] We'd... all be really happy so see you. Kate especially...

[ex_justlikedad293]

And I'll be happy to see you guys! [She didn't want him to think differently.] Real happy, actually... [Group hugs?]

[selfhelp]

It kind of feels like we're getting our family back. It's been way too quiet with just me and Teddy.

[And Tommy and Jonas too, briefly, but. Yeah. But at least they have Kate now.]

[ex_justlikedad293]

And you're the best family a girl could ask for. [Way better than her actual family, who was getting better, but still.]

[dickmoves]

[ Dear sweet merciful Xavier... or y'know, whatever god level power you want to appeal to. Tommy doesn't do two things - emotions and hugs (any and all instances of these Tenates being broken notwithstanding), and now those two things are sort of warring for what gets first dibs. ]

Cassie?

[ex_justlikedad293]

Tommy! [How can she not be happy to see her favorite speedster? Someone she'd thought she never see again. So hugs? They're a must right now.]

[tryit]

I'm not going to lie and say I wouldn't love to see you again - [Especially since, y'know, that's not really an opportunity anymore. It hasn't been for a couple of years now. But she smiles and forces herself to look nonchalant. Time travel can be a tricky thing.] - but if you really don't want to go? Don't let her make you, Cassie. No one would blame you. Hell, I wouldn't blame you. Coffee shop or not, that place is still most definitely a prison.

[ex_justlikedad293]

We'll see if she even goes through with it. I mean, she has some time before she can even apply, right? [She even smiles.] But we're a team, and I'd never leave my team behind... father or not.

[tryit]

[Ouch. Even if Kate knows that Cassie doesn't mean anything by those words - at least, nothing negative - they still sting a lot more than she cares to admit.

Be strong, Katie.]

Don't mention that to Billy. [Said wryly.] He seems doubtful that we have any control over any of this. Including finding a way out of that prison colony with the rest of the team in tow.

[ex_justlikedad293]

[Some reason, that hurt more than it should.]

I don't know. Maybe there's a way out, bu there are a lot of things we don't have control over... [Like life and death.]

[arach_nerd]

I've seen Scott around, so it's probably a realistic option.

[ex_justlikedad293]

You've seen my dad? Where?

[arach_nerd]

Just around here a couple of times.

[ex_justlikedad293]

Really? He's been here?

I... I have to find him!
