I need a favor from you.

[laserguy]

you're asking me for a favor after kicking me into the pool

wow.

[But maybe he is listening. He's trying now, sort of. Or he doesn't really hate Julian. A little of both.]

telepathic phone

/Knock knock, teenage rebellion. Meet me? 💖/

telepath phone....

[laserguy]

[It's his not favorite telepath--

Scott startles when a familiar voice just fucking pops out of nowhere in his mind. LOOK... despite hanging out with many telepaths now, he's just not used to this yet. Usually they respect his privacy. Somehow. Hopefully.]

I said this to Nate and I'm saying this to you. We do have earpieces for a reason.

😌

[overconfidently]

( It’s strange. It’s like… even before he woke from the psychic coma he’d placed himself into, somehow, deep down, some unconscious part of him knew Scott knew. Maybe some part of his mind had been listening. Maybe he’d simply felt it the moment he woke and had only clued in to what he was feeling after he’d felt more like himself and less groggy. Whatever the case, Scott knows their blood relation to one another — the extent of that he doesn’t know just yet — and that means… the cat’s out of the bag.

Great.

It’s only when he’s feeling better physically and telepathically — emotionally is a whole different ballgame right now — that he starts to really think about how to go about this. He’s not going to avoid him. He can’t. Well. He could as he certainly has the telepathic means to, but. Scott doesn't deserve that and he can’t bring himself to do that to him. Plus, he’s sure the other would hunt him down at some point. So. Yeah. This is a whole Thing now. Nice going, Julian. Although, he’s not even mad at the other mutant as he didn’t know to not really say anything and why would he when it’s something they all seem to know and deal with back on their Earth?

Whatever. Anyways. Nate’s outside, high in the sky, floating in his little telekinetic bubble as he often does when he wants to be away from everyone. Eyes shut, mind blocking out the noise, wishing Forge was here to help him with this; he’s been missing Forge a lot lately. The irony there when he considered the other mutant a father figure… and has an alternate version of his blood father here with him now. When he drops down it’s near Scott and he stands there. Quiet. Blue eyes matching the blue Scott had before his mutation kicked in and denied him ever being able to see without that visor and ruby quartz glasses again. So. Yeah. )

Hey.

( That works, right? )

[laserguy]

[He's been really angry the past few days. Not angry enough to not check on Nate every so often, because no matter what stupid shit he learned the past few days, he still cares about him. And it's not just because he's his son. Alternative son. Whatever. Everyone is pretty much 'alternative' to him... or guess the actual correct thing is that he's the one that doesn't fully fit in with the others. He's the 'alternative Scott.' Everything about it makes him so angry and confused and torn between either wanting to just move away from the mansion or just sticking around because the other mutants are still important to him in some way.

Even if he feels like a huge joke.

But besides all that...

Predictably, Scott's not in a great mood when Nate flies over to him, the teen looking grumpy with his hands in his pockets, always looking like he's mad about something or has a chip on his shoulder. Nate's one of the people that he's been wanting to blast in the face, but also, he can't fully disguise his relief seeing him healthy again. At least flying around and looking alive, instead of that comatose form that crashed in the desert. Or hung limply in Julian's arms. He hated that, thanks.

Stop making everything feel so confusing!!]

Just saying this right now, I hate you.

[He bites his lip soon after saying that though, face turning away from him.] I mean.

[............]

[sophielicious]

/Hey, kid. Still on your I Hate Everyone moment or do you wanna do something?/

[laserguy]

[GRUMP. A part of him wants to ignore this message, but she's doing this telepathically, so pretty much impossible. TELEPATHS...]

When are you ever going to use the ear piece?

Depends on what that something is.

text. un: nate

[overconfidently]

( gently backdated a little. )

Cable's gone. Thought I'd let you know.

un; shades

[laserguy]

[It takes a couple of minutes for Scott to respond, mostly because he's just staring at the words on the screen with a mixture of emotions. He's... glad that Cable is back home? But also. Upset in a way? Angry at himself? For not trying a little harder to know more about him. Because he was his... son. From possibly the same universe?

All of that is still confusing as hell, but. He actually liked Cable.

He might be sulking over his cereal now.]

Went back home?

Look, okay? I don't hate you.

[laserguy]

[. . .]

What are you listening to my conversations now?

[JUST. Not yet addressing what Julian said.]

telepathy;

[overconfidently]

( guess who gets to continue to be the bearer of bad news? this guy right here. )

Julian and Hope are gone from here.

[laserguy]

[Character growth is not bitching when he suddenly hears Nate's voice in his head. The subject matter doesn't help either.]

Even them.

It feels like a lot of us are disappearing.

[He doesn't even bother to bring up the favorite spot like last time. If Nate says they're gone.....]

[maellum]

Hi. It's Maelle.

You ready for this next mission?

[laserguy]

uh, i guess so?

i know aurora mentioned that we won't have our powers anymore but i got a bat from one of the shops nearby. how about you?

[He's so dead.]

telepathy.

[overconfidently]

( sorry, scott. telepaths are gonna telepath. )

Are you ok after that last mission?

telepathy;

[laserguy]

I'm okay, yeah. I. I really am, actually.

[Maybe in ways he can't really describe. Not that he's fully okay and happy about everything, but the mission ironically helped him out with a bunch of self-doubts he's carried for so long.]

How about you? You've been secluding yourself for a while now. Done with that? I don't even know what happened with you back on that other Earth.

un: gorgug, text

[tinflower]

hey

so that mission sucked

[ What up, Scott. ]

text; un: shades

[laserguy]

i'd give it a 3 out of 10.

but hey. chilling in your music studio and stuff? i would after all that shit.

text | stendhal

[maellum]

Let me guess: you have these cameras at home, too?

[This is how you break the ice after the horrors, Maelle?]

[laserguy]

[He'll take this over talking about all the shit that happened in the fog.]

yeah pretty much, guessing it's not the same for you?

vague on locations cuz I don't actually know where scott hangs out

[miniroth]

[It's been a while since the mission that sent them all into being heros or villains, and Sephiroth had done his best to suit the role he was given so long as it didn't actually involve furthering the war crimes he's already guilty of. Kidnapping, ransom, and evil lairs (or well modified warehouses) had done well enough for that purpose.

But he's fairly sure at least one of his victims had been spotted in Etraya before, so he's gone looking. Etraya is a big place, and he's just one kid, so it's taking a while, but sooner or later, he's bound to actually find the person he's looking for. Minus delays for things like psychosis inducing fogs.

Sephiroth is no longer a several ton green dragon, he's just some wandering teenager favoring a whole lot of black. Nothing to see here. But he's keeping tabs for someone who looks like Scott as he goes.]

[laserguy]

[Scott was mostly just grabbing a milkshake from the local diner when he spots Sephiroth and okay, he's kind of noticed that the other teen has been following him around lately and it's a little weird. Like what's up with that?? Scott's pretty sure he's never talked to this guy before, but he figures that if he doesn't address this now, the weird snooping around would just continue.

And nah he's not about that life.

So, with one sip of his shake, Scott tilts his head towards Sephiroth and goes straight into being the most blunt possible.]

Look man, if you have something to say, say it. You're acting like the most suspicious looking guy in the world.

text | sometime after Adult Scott what are timelines

[maellum]

Hi.

[laserguy]

[Yeah he's definitely been sulking in his room. He thinks about ignoring the message that lights up, but it's hard to ignore Maelle.]

hey. sup.

sometime after maelle talks to sophie

[sophielicious]

/Kiddo? Get your cool leather jacket. We're going out./

[laserguy]

I know what you're doing.

I'm fine.

[sophielicious]

/Got you a Christmas present, but you're gonna have to show up somewhere first. I'll text you an username of the guy who's helping me out.

Merry x-mas, Scottie!/

[laserguy]

[There's maybe some subtle warmth there, something returning that's pushing away that grumpiness that's latched onto him lately.]

Wow, I actually have to go somewhere for a present? Almost feels like extra work on my part though.
