Much as my father's absence does not even remotely compensate for my sister's, I suppose I might be able to tolerate returning. A good tennis partner is difficult to come by, after all, even if that city is the size of a shoe box. Anything to keep away from all that Doombot nonsense. I sincerely doubt this other potential conversation partner can keep up with me as well as you say, but if I must demonstrate my intellectual superiority, so be it.

You've clearly not thought the other idea through, though. Me in an even smaller cage, with that lot of insufferable fools? No doubt many of them could benefit from my guidance, but I've better things to do with my time than babysit a bunch of irredeemable criminals, even if I would make an excellent—

–Not as a warden, you say?

... What do you mean, not as a warden?

Yes, why don't I get into a bar fight with Wolverine and Schrödinger's Batman on my side? That sounds great. Who knew it would end with Wolverine jumping into a fucking ravine with a psychotic lizardman clinging to his legs, and Not Batman At All and me leaping off a sheer cliff at an almost certainly fatal height to escape corrupt flying police into a sea full of screaming eels?

To be fair, I'm okay with most of that. That's more or less a day in the life. But I've technically been aware of if not actually known That Guy for literally months, months which I spent denying the possibility he was Batman, and he's Batman. Why would you fucking do that? What could you possibly get out of — you know what, fuck it. I don't know and neither do you.

We're not having a slap fight. I think my arm's fractured, so he'd win.

Are you sure Xavier'll want me as an assistant? Never mind what I want, we all know that's not worth two shits in a bag. ... not that I'm objecting. Look, I — get it, a little bit. It's not the same at all but I saw him do it dozens of times, the — thing he does, the pitch, the sell, the strategic sacrifice. Gambit was right about selling me for a nickel. Fuck knows how he never quite got around to it. But whatever happened between them, that's different. I wouldn't want me around in his position. Maybe beggars can't be choosers, though.

Also, you could cut down on that "necessary bad judgment" commentary re: dating me. Nobody was making good decisions, all right? The point is that I make better decisions from now on.

I don't know what you think to accomplish, sending me back. I am not at all opposed, but I believe I was made many promises which were never fulfilled — namely, the occasional company of several attractive and very talented women, and rising to political prominence. Perhaps with the aid of a stepladder for both. If these things could be relied upon to happen, I'd be far more enthusiastic.

Oh, yes, very well, and time with Jaime too. Gods know what he may have gotten up to in my absence. And you should not forget my strange student. I imagine he must have made some progress by now and I'd like to see it. If he hasn't, well... that's not his fault. I don't suppose books and scrolls take well to sea water.

So? Shall we?

Why not.

So "Marauder" makes me sound exponentially more badass than I actually am, considering this morning I managed to trip over my own shoelaces, fall up the stairs, and set the toaster on fire... somehow... all within the span of about an hour. I'm just saying. I think you're a bit confused. It's also sort of rude. I'm not mad, thank you.

Oh, um. And. I am holding you to that promise. Of a vacation. So you had better do that, or... I'll... do... something very... threatening. Uh. I will turn you into a cat.

-- wait, what about ghosts? What? No! No ghosts! Put the wiki down!

If you're going to go begging, why not search for someone that likes me? It may surprise you to know that they do exist.

Your fascination with the little wolf king aside, I see not why you would hope to draw any kind of Stark to Baedal. No one has ever lifted a glass to their conversational talents, their fine company. Why Robb in particular? Spirited wolf he may be, but he's still a Stark, and we didn't part on the best of terms.

And as for Brienne of Tarth, her reputation only precedes her; I've not laid eyes on that before. More's the pity, I'm sure.

You keep saying 'canon update', but I have no idea what it means. I hope it's a threat.

I really don't like this plan.

It's not that I can't make it on my own. Of course I can. They don't call me Marvel Girl for nothing.

But I'm not used to being alone any more. The X-Men - they're like family, now. I don't want to leave them.

And this city just has bad news written all over it.

...But I guess that's why it needs more heroes.

Damn it. You're worse than the Professor.

I'm not really sure about this Mafaton place, but the rest don't seem...half bad. And Hal's there an' that.

I mean like, I could get a real job. Live in a house. There's other werewolves. The monsters are a bit different, but y'know. It's a challenge?

[that last part sounds more hopeful than it should.]

Okay, let's take a step back, here. Look at things from a cool and rational place.

First, how long has it been since you've watched the movie? You'll need to do that, at least. And decide where to pull me from.

Now, double-check your schedule. Those term papers? Maybe this can wait until after you've completed them. Having fun is all well and good, but I know you have priorities.

And as for this city, do I really have to list all the things I would have a problem with there? No Starfleet, no Enterprise, no Spock. No universal translators. Just Kirk, McCoy and vampires?

Aw, no. C'mon. No. You can't really.

Besides, I'm a nice guy! You can't have two nice guys. Your horrible little brain will explode. Also my brain will explode. Or whatever, uh, organ it is that's responsible for my knack. I might irreversibly flip my shit. A permanently dislocated shit — sounds bad, right? So work on Our Lady of Dismemberment or something.

And, you know, it's kind of not fair if I only turn up every now and then, which is exactly what you always do. Just sayin'.

You're seriously suggesting I should work for this guy Don? A boozy womanizer from the 60's who likes to sleep with his secretaries?

Because I "deal well with difficult men"?

You and I both know the similarities are only superficial.

So. A dungeon, some choice repeat clients, plenty of passing encounters, a repeat offender of a lover, a friend with assorted benefits who might actually be less honest than I am, something you won't stop calling a 'business threesome' and not one, not two but three geniuses all to myself- goodness. You spoil me. I'm not complaining. Honestly, sometimes I have to think we make an excellent team. And how long has it been since I had a St Andrew's Cross of my very own, anyway?

But it's all very settled, isn't it? I'm being so nice to everyone. God, even the Iceman's warming to me, in his way. Which is all very pleasant, of course. It's also useful- don't you think?

Come on. We've done enough harmless, sexy naughtiness. Let's do something bad instead.

I don't know, this might be a good thing. It will be different to not have to hide. I'm not sure if however-many years of habit can be overcome in a few months, but -- it will be good to choose. I think.

I hear there's a cafe. Desserts. I've never had ice cream. I would like to try it.

What will I even do for work, though? I don't suppose anyone needs furniture.
