As Ororo talks about the wedding plan, Simon turns to Hank. "Aw, am I not invited?" He chuckles. "Maybe the groom'll invite me. Anyhow... You and me have GOT to hit the town regardless."

Gabby grins at Emma "What's wrong with that? Sounds like a good time to me!"
Gabby's grin turns a little sad when she nods at Deadpool. "Yeah that sounds like them." When he asks about her Deadpool father, Gabby shrugs, "To be honest, my player didn't put a lot of work into my backstory when she created me. What I do know is that my dad was a good dad when he was around." Gabby explains, "When I was little, before he realized about how tough I was, he was afraid if people found out who I was, they would try to hurt me to get to him."

Hank returned to reply to Simon. "I have no idea - there are several of those Dora Milaje who protect the Royal Guest list...and Kitty, who's got an unbreakable encryption on the electronic list." He chuckled. "Indeed - are you seeing anyone these days? I admit, I don't have much time to watch TMZ, so I hope I haven't missed a big announcement about you and Taylor Swift or anything."
Blink had fully recovered from Deadpool's temporary "Cancer" powers. Hawkeye added. "If you think it's an emergency and you need help, maybe you should rest in the quinjet and have Songbird look over you instead of a teleport back to the mansion?"
Logan could smell that Nightcrawler had teleported away, but not before setting the beer down where you could get back to it, minus a couple of cans. Ororo smiled. "I appreciate your help, Logan. And I have always treasured your friendship and caring - for all your cynicism, you are in your own way, a romantic." She turned away so she was out of earshot of Emma and Scott. "and...while I understand your desire to keep a distance from the mansion, I do wonder why you are with the Avengers. You are a natural leader - there are other X-men who would follow you. Kurt, Rachel, Kitty - I may have spoken to a few of them. They could even help you set up a school..."
"That sounds like how I would be - though, if that's true, fair warning? Your dad killed a LOT of people to keep you safe and secure. And not just like, bad guys, but probably cops, SHIELD agents, Mormon missionaries - that sorta thing." Deadpool took a moment.
"Uhm...so, did your player at least tell you who your mom was? Or is it like a 70s Super-Sons thing where you only remember your mom as an ill-defined silhouette?"
Tabitha managed to get into her seat on the Quinjet before a can of beer landed next to her. Nightcrawler sat in the next chair. "Let me tell you a story about a girl I know. Her name is Rachel..."

Simon laughs. "I'm in between rumored trysts right now. And my agent told me to stay away from Tay-tay. I can't afford the PR hit from her song about me when we eventually break up."
Simon thinks, only briefly, about his off-again relationship with Scarlet Witch, but says nothing.
"And hey - if Black Panther doesn't invite me... maybe I can be your plus-one?" He laughs.

(OCC: was sure bout the reversal of the damage Did not want make a gm call.)
"That works too. I just don't want to be a potential weak link and all that to the team. I suppose even if there are after long term side effects There is little be done. I'd still feel better with a check up..Cancer has a way of being tricky..Like Phalanx and Legacy virus. and from personal experience with both I do not recommend either." she answers with a shrug as the pain and vision was improving and seemed to have subsided, "Losing my hair is not an option so the Quinjets med station sounds good. Considering Bill likes his science and engineering. Love the guy though he does good tech work."
After the words 'weak link' she chided herself for sounding like Apocalypse..great what was that about looking into the abyss? It was easy to become your enemy. Many mutants went down that path because of hatred for flatscans on her earth. It did not matter who hated who first or fired the first shot. She could use a set Celestial armor though she thought with a grin.
"So where are we going and how many of us need to go and find this..Yoriko was it?" She asks taking a seat. Times like this she missed having a real home or world that was hers. This world and in some sense was someone else's life.

Tabitha was not surprised by Nightcrawler's sudden appearance, and smiled slightly at the smell of brimstone aboard the Quinjet. She picked up the can, forcing herself to remember this was not the man that had been there for her when her parents had been lost. Her world's Kurt had given her both her mother's blade she cherished so much, and the codename she used. She popped the tab and took a slight sip, " Way better than Fandrell's mead. Thanks, Mr. Wagner," she said softly with sadness in her eyes, "Is this a story about how these aren't my parents on this world, and I scare the hell out of them?"

He was also really worried that the government would get their hands on me and test me like a lab rat. Having been through experiments, he didn't want that for me." A grin appears. "Plus, Mormon missionaries are really annoying so they probably had it coming." Gabby adds, "She did! Theresa Rourke aka Siryn is my mom. It's also why I have her last name - so people wouldn't immediately connect me with my dad." |

<Thieving elf.> Chuckles, doing his best to look gruff at the romantic line. "Only with some folks. One specifically."
Changes positions, back to Emma and Scott. "Before Mariko, there'd be even more friction. I mean, Red wouldn't be too happy about how it started, dare say phoenix it," chuckles grimly, "but if they're happy, so be it. Just be grateful you can't read my mind like she can." Looks back over his shoulder at Emma, grins ear to ear, mental images of yapping dogs bouncing through his skull, turns back to storm. "Still not going to drop by too often, too many memories that are still fresh, need time to settle. Avengers need a good scrapper, most of 'em are just kids, needing someone to look out for them. Kurt, Rachel, Kitty, they have you, one of the finest people to keep an eye on things. Though a school...with the right foundation, could help the next generation of heroes."

Kurt smiled, his eyes lighting up. "Oh, I'm sure you already know all that - I can see you have your mother's mind. But I fear you have your father's heart, and well, struggles between the heart and head were always a problem with those two." He took another sip of the beer. "But no, rather the point of my story is that you are far from alone in your troubles, and you can always find peace through talk - I can put you in touch with Rachel, or perhaps there is someone else you could speak with?" He stretched his lithe form across the ceiling of the Quinjet as he crawled across it. "I have been told I am a good listener." He leaned in conspiratorially. "Even Logan says so, but don't tell him that I know what he thinks."
Hank smiled. "If not, perhaps we can arrange an impromptu remake of your failed "Wedding Crashers 2" audition." He slapped Simon's shoulder. "A pity they never greenlit the movie."
Emma answered Blink. "Well, my dear, you could stay with the rest of this tragically mis-matched group of Avengers-"
"Seriously, we're right here-" Hawkeye shook his head.
"-or you could join your fellow mutants - even if this isn't your own dimension. We'll be taking Apocalypse back to our mansion-"
"-before it is inevitably blown up and then rebuilt. Contractors in Westchester must put their kids through college on Xavier's insurance policy."
"-the choice is yours." Emma finished with a telepathic message to Blink. Armor? You hardly need that - you simply need a functional team. And I would not go chasing mystics - magicians are hardly worth the bother.
Songbird then chimed in. "We'll be heading back to our mansion, which is not blown up as frequently-"
"EHHHHHH - yeah you probably have the edge, but you have had it replaced by alternate dimension versions, so that's close."
Storm let out a low laugh. "For someone who purports to be a loner, you have a habit of becoming a guardian angel to younger mutants. Your skills there, and as a teacher, are perhaps what you are truly best at." She turned to rejoin the rest of the X-Men. "Until next time, 'bub'." She shot him a smile.
"Teresa? OK...oh..uh...wow. Deep cut into the mythology - got to respect that." Deadpool shook his head. "Look, this can go zany or maudlin - for me it's a cointoss, and I fully expect the GM is going to actually flip a coin - GET A PROPER QUARTER! NO, DON'T USE THE TOONIE! WHO DOES THAT? Sorry, where was I? Right, so how is this supposed to go down? We could go shoot some child traffickers together? Would you like that?"

Knowing she read minds casually Blink was less inclined to judge Emma too harshly or think anything rude. Proper behavior seemed the good decision and it did work out well with Namor. In all his talk he did not act rudely to her. Emma seemed of similar disposition. So showing respect was best. Despite how the rest saw her Blink saw her as knowing what she wanted, what she thought
"It is kind of you to offer, I have no doubt your team can manage Apocalypse. I will be of more use with the avengers for the moment. I will take up that offer after though if that is okay with the X-men and yourself. I could use a field outfit that is more functional. Something more mutant 'friendly'." she answers remaining polite and moving past Emma's poor view of the avengers. She was allowed an opinion and Blink would not deny nor get offended because of it. "thinking" the reply to the telepathic Blink answered
"I'll work on getting them functional then, And I will keep in mind Mystics and their odd prices and Methods." she thought at Emma.

Lowering her can, Tabitha could only smile, "Doesn't matter what dimension, you can always read me like a book. I've met a Rachel Summers, but she wasn't that talkative and I was in a more self destructive mindset then. But maybe, if we cross paths, I think talking to her might do some good. It's just..... hard. Your Mmmm.... Kitty and Piotr, they look exactly like I remember before they went away, and if what few pictures I had. And here, they're about the same age as my parents were when they found out I was on the way." She took another drink, and hid behind the can for a moment, forcing herself to keep her emotions in check. "After my parents were lost along with a big chunk of the X-Men, you and Logan we the ones that took me under their wings and helped me more than anyone, so I know what a good listener you can be, I've cried on your shoulder many times. Well, other yous, but you know what I mean.""

"I have my moments. If I were a true loaner, I wouldn't have a closet of my own in Japan. Plus, someone has to buy the beer occasionally." He grins. "Until next time, bub. He better treat you right."
As Storm left, rejoining the other X-Men, Logan just smiles, thinking various things, and gives Emma a parting wave.

Simon smiles. With as often as my projects stall, it's amazing I get any movies made. Wedding Crashers 2 was gonna be great, but I think the alien invasion sequence at the end is what killed it. Revealing Vince Vaughn's character to be a Skrull was too much for the studio heads."
Simon turns to listen to the X-Men and Avengers negotiate the fate of Apocalypse, and others present. As first Blink and then Wolverine both agree to stay on with the Avengers, Simon is heartened. I saw the way they acted today, and there's no question they're right for the Avengers. I'm glad they're staying on. Still... I can see why the X-Men is such a strong group. They're like a family - their care and commitment to each other... that's something I've only ever felt with a few people. He thinks briefly about two of his strongest relationships - Hank and Scarlet Witch. Both mutants. A fact he's perhaps taken for granted up until this moment - it simply never mattered to him.
Impulsively, he turns to Storm. "Look - I'm not a leader... not by a long stretch. But... I've always admired the X-Men. You fight for what's right - not just for mutants, but for everyone, just like the Avengers, and ... " He shakes his head, "It's a pity more don't see that. Look - I can't speak for the whole team but if you ever need me, call."
In the past, the Avengers and the X-Men have had a strained relationship from time to time... and I don't want to ever see that again.
Turning back to Hank, he says, "You know... Skrulls could really clean up in Hollywood. Can you imagine? But the Makeup Artists' union would be up in arms."

She nods, "My player wanted to make my existence plausible, even if it was in alternative universe." Gabby grins at the suggestion "Sure! I'm always up for annihilating child traffickers! They're even worse than Mormoms who interrupt dinner!" Gabby thinks of something. "Oh! And you have to apologize to my boo for tying him up as a hostage. Even if the trap was hilarious, it was still uncool!" |
