[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.]

[vexant]

You started it

( no he didn't? )

Nate volunteered to go to Solmara. He needs back up but he doesn't think he does.
If none of the rest of us volunteer, can you watch his back?

[laserguy]

[Scott finds himself staring at the message in front of him for a while, taking a moment to actually respond. Because... seriously? Really??]

why don't you volunteer?

[He doesn't even know what Solmara is. And... he barely survived on that other planet. Is he really a good candidate to go on that mission?]

[vexant]

He's a telekinetic. I'm a telekinetic. If they figure out how to disable one of us, we're both down.

Your ability doesn't depend on needing to use your brain.

[laserguy]

[Wow he should've drowned this guy.]

this is how you ask for favors from people. fuck you.

[vexant]

( see. this is why he hates scott. )

Telekinesis is a brain ability.
You've met other mutants with abilities that are more physical than mental, right?

( scott still has his brother, right. )

[laserguy]

yeah. maybe lead with that next time, asshole.

but fine, you're saying i'd be more useful than you on that mission.

[vexant]

I'm saying you balance Nate out better than I do

[laserguy]

so that's a yes

[He still wonders if he's really ready for something like this, but he doesn't want to admit it out loud. It's different when something is happening right in front of you versus actively volunteering for it. But.]

fine, i'll go. [Also he doesn't want to leave Nate by himself as the only mutant on that mission. He should have someone, even if it's just him.]
