NAME: Nathan Christopher Charles Summers AGE: Twenty-four FACECLAIM: Mena Massoud ALIAS: Nate, Cable, Askani’son, The Chosen One, Nathan Dayspring, POWERS/SKILLS: Telepathy, psychometry, telepathic illusion, telepathic cloak, mind link, telepathic camouflage, mind control, mind trap, mind possession, mind alteration, mental amnesia, precognition, psionic shield, psionic blasts, astral projection, mental detection, telekinesis, technoactive manipulation, intuitive aptitude, matter alteration, inorganic disintegration, psionic spikes, telekinetic healing, force fields, concussive blasts, tactile telekinesis, telekinetic flight, telekinetic teleportation, remote teleportation, time travel, superhuman endurance, superhuman speed, superhuman agility, superhuman dexterity, cybernetic eye, cybernetic arm, cybernetic restoration, master combatant, master swordsman, master marksman, weapons proficiency, master tactician, leadership, public speaking, and gifted intelligence. ↳ TECHNO-ORGANIC PHYSIOLOGY: much of his body has been infiltrated and altered by a techno-organic virus. which took the form of cybernetics and bionics. essentially meaning part of nathan is cyborg — primarily his left side. this gave him super strength to an unknown degree, as well as an increased resistance to harm. his entire skeletal structure has been replaced by porous — marrow-filled organic metalloid bone replacements that don’t interfere with the creation of red blood cells. his central nervous system has been altered as well down to the atomic level, making his reaction time far better than that of any human. ALLIANCE: The X-Men, X-Force, THREAT LEVEL (OUT OF TEN): Ten — Omega Level Mutant HISTORY FILE (LINK WIKI): Dossier I. Dossier II. NOTABLE CHANGES FROM 2012 TO THE TIMELINE THEY WERE PULLED FROM: Nathan is still going to be an omega level Mutant here. His telekinesis appears to be a bright pink and he’ll be using his powers often. He brought the Light of Galador with him — it’s his favorite weapon. This sword is lightweight and a little over three feet in length. One more important change to make note of is that Old Cable is still alive! He’s a non-playable character but they’re the same person, just from different points in the timeline. Younger Cable never tried to kill him so please don’t reference that arc, thank you! LAST MEMORY BEFORE ENDING UP IN NYC, 2012: Planning his next date with Phoebe.

megan, as usual, stuck out like a sore thumb. she never had any qualms with her mutant or fae heritage (she actually embraced them fully,) but she knew both the pointed ears, pink hair and the iridescent rainbow wings seemed to draw many eyes, especially when a passer-by seemed to run into them by accident. “i know i take up a little more space than other people, but please be mindful!” she says kindly, “my wings do feel like the rest of my body.”

//

Nathan doesn’t like seeing anyone get mistreated. Maybe it’s just the upbringing of always looking different from everyone else that influenced him to protect other Mutants. He’s standing next to Megan when someone seems to run into her wings. She’s kind but Nathan doesn’t have any problem stepping forward to the stranger to say something. “Hey! Maybe you should spend less time on your phone and keep an eye on the world around you.” He squints while they walk away but calms down before turning back to the other. “Are you hurt? Do you want to get out of here?” The area is a little crowded now. There’s too many people in New York.

blue eyes catch the gaze of another, quick to make an assumption as alex gestures to his patched up arm in a plastered cast and a dark blue sling. ❛ what, this ? shocked to see an x-man in a cast ? ❜ a smile pulls at the corner of his lips, cheeks dimpled as the blonde nods his head in reassurance. ❛ it’s just a broken bone. there’s no way i’ll be in it for longer than a month. ❜ granted, ( andperhaps surprisingly, given his innate inability to keep his powers under control ) alex hasn’t been in many casts in his lifetime. he assumes it’ll be as simple as a walk in the park … as a plus, the plaster does a pretty good job of making him feel like he’s got a weapon on his arm !

“I’m not shocked. I feel like broken limbs is quite common with what us X-Men do.” Nathan admits while looking over at his uncle. He doesn’t know how to bring the relation up in their conversation but maybe a simple introduction with his name could ease them into it. “I wish you a speedy recovery. Do you feel alright then? Other than having your arm stuck in the plaster.” He imagines that it might end up feeling like a long month. His lips quirk into a grin, nodding along as they have their conversation. He relaxes his posture, the metal of his arm glistening in the sun. “It only feels right if I introduce myself while we’re getting to know each other. My name is Nathan Summers.”

‘ it usually depends on the amount of people around - ’ she deadpans , not that talking about her powers to another is normal - but you don’t often meet someone else who has the same powers . ‘ mine didn’t come out until i was a teenager and both parents mia . ’ not to mention she was raised by her foster mom , so .

It was never an issue really for Nathan when it comes to his telepathy. Maybe he was just lucky but he recognizes that everyones abilities manifests differently. He has been communicating with his own since infancy so maybe that experience has something to do with it? He just naturally tunes everyone out for the most part. He also establishes these boundaries in his mind for his thoughts. “I get that . . . if there’s too many people around then it can be more difficult to tune them out?” He tilts his head and looks at the other. “Mine came out when I was a baby . . . so you can imagine how chaotic that was for my parents. I’m sorry both of your parents weren’t around to help you with your newfound powers.”

WHO: open! @rewrittenstart WHERE: some bodega

harry had been coming to this bodega since he started going to empire university, and it quickly became a favorite spot of his. the long hours it operated were perfect when he needed a late-night energy boost or a pre-game chaser, plus the cashiers didn’t seem to judge his purchases out loud. needless to say he was familiar enough to step in when someone began to reach out towards the tabby cat napping atop a tower of beer boxes. “i wouldn’t do that if i were you,” harry chimed in matter-of-factly. “queenie only likes customers who share their purchases with her.”

//

It’s still strange settling into somewhere meant to be modern but just ended up feeling ancient due to being from a distant point in the future. He stepped into one of the bodega and was having a look around. He lived in the area and wanted to see what they have to offer. He liked exploring and it seems they have a lot more to offer here than Nathan originally expected. There are many different types of snacks and beverages to try out. He noticed a cat asleep in the store which is odd but also sweet? He reached out towards it with his flesh hand but someone approaches him to stop him. “So Queenie will bite me if I tried to pet her?” He takes a step back, crossing both arms across his chest for a moment. “What kind of purchases does she like?”

❝ they sure do. i got lucky though, i think. talked to people like us, got to brace for it before i really started going out in public, after. i still almost hit the first guy. ❞ he says it ruefully, a little bit humorous, smile tugging at his lips. as nice as he is, he’s also trained to fight since he was a teenager. it’s always going to be the first, automatic instinct. maybe he should be less comfortable with that than he is, but he’s not sure that he could change it if he wanted to, & he doesn’t really want to. ❝ roy. it’s nice to meet you. ❞

“Where I’m from . . . there wasn’t anyone else that looked like me. I was the only one.” Nathan can’t really claim that he isn’t bothered by it anymore when he still gets that urge to punch someone in the fact when they stare too long. Redd taught him how to use his abilities to make his cybernetic arm appear to be made of flesh when they were passing through a new town. He hasn’t done that in so long, not wanting to hide part of himself. If someone has a problem then they can eat his fist. “I don’t think anything could have really prepared us for what it would be like going out in public. Which is why sometimes I’ll wear long sleeves and gloves when I’m not in the mood to deal with the stares.” He smiles though and holds out his hand for a shake. “It’s nice to meet you, Roy. You seem like a good guy.”

Phoebe narrows her eyes as the other mutant steps closer. She doesn’t tell him to stop or move back though. No instead she has to wonder just for a moment how far he’ll go just for her. If this really is all true and Nathan has somehow decided she’s the one he likes being with the most. The most boring out of the five. Her sisters all seem to have something breaking them apart from the rest. Sophie was the natural born leader, Esme the strongest, Celeste being picked by the Phoenix force to stop Sublime and Mindee being Emma’s favorite. Just about the only thing Phoebe felt she had going for her was an attitude, though all the sisters seem to have that. So that tops out to Phoebe having just about nothing that makes her stand apart from the rest of her sisters. So Phoebe has to wonder what’s in it for him? “Please – I doubt you could outdo the night you had with Celeste.” A small bit of a laugh his given. He’d gone above and beyond there, thought it really wouldn’t have been Phoebe’s taste anyway. She’s never been all that big into spending an extended amount of time around humans. The restaurant alone would be enough to piss Phoebe off for the night. “It was some big party the Avengers threw for everyone. Even us mutants were invited. How lucky we are.” It’s clear she’s be sarcastic, voice thick with annoyance at even the idea of any x-men mingling among the avengers. Her nose crinkles a bit at the thought, humans and avengers alike rub Phoebe the wrong way. So when Nathan offers to get her away from both? Well… even Phoebe can’t say no. “Couldn’t stand them before, but after what they did to Fabio I can hardly even look at them.” She almost snarls at the thought, thinking of when the humans attacked Goldballs when they found out he was mutant. “So, where do you plan on taking me that’s human free?” As she speaks her fingers intertwine with Nathan’s.

The night Nathan had with Celeste was so long ago. He tries to do plan out extravagant dates that are personalized to the other person’s interests. The Cuckoos might appear to be identical but he knew that deep down they have their differences too. He wouldn’t take them all out on the same date. It would be the lazy route to take and Nathan isn’t that kind of guy. He wants Phoebe to feel special, considering himself to be a romantic at heart. “Babe, I know you would have been miserable at the Louvre. There were massive crowds and the majority of them were Human.” He didn’t even think that the food at the restaurant was great but leaves that detail to himself. “I’ll take you somewhere better, Phoebe.” Nathan will start planning the date, wanting nothing more than to make the other happy. If that meant renting out a place for a couple hours so it was only the two of them? He’ll do it in a heartbeat. All the effort is worth it for the chance to see Phoebe smile. “Sounds suspicious. The Avengers never cared about an alliance with Mutantkind before.” He wonders if there was a motive involved? His priority will always be for his family and own people. “They threw a party? Quite distasteful considering the circumstances. We’re all stuck here and attending some party really shouldn’t be our first plan of action.” It doesn’t sit right with him at all. Nathan gives her hand a gentle squeeze. He knew firsthand how cruel Humans can be toward what they don’t understand. The hatred stretched far into the future and escaping it keeps proving to be impossible. “Hey.” He raises their hands to kiss the top of her hand softly for a moment. “I will never let them hurt you. They would really regret trying.” Anyone making Cable mad should rethink their life choices. He doesn’t hate all Humans but some certainly knew how to get under his skin. He starts walking though, leading her toward where he wants to take her. “It’s a surprise. I’ve never taken anyone else there before.” His palm squeezes the other one gently again.

jean is taken back at the word ‘ mom ’, almost positive that she’s heard the boy wrong until the words ‘ i’m your son ’ fall behind it. and she’s still for a moment, emerald hues gazing upon the other in uncertainty. she knows it explains the familial feeling she has with the other, a part of her subconscious reassuring the mutant that he’s telling the truth. but the other part of her is hesitant, almost unwilling to believe that she and scott have a family together in the future, a son. even if nathan wasn’t birthed from jean, he was still apart of her and the waves of energy that drifted between the two confirmed it true. “ i’ve heard of you. ” she finally says, taking a step towards nathan. she wants to reach out and embrace him but she’s unsure, resulting in her offering him a gentle smile instead. “ it is good to finally meet you. ”

One of the best parts about being stranded in the past is getting the opportunity to become close with his family. All those years of being alone and thinking that’s the way his life would always be . . . has a happy ending. Nathan knows that he could have gone about this a better way but there was part of him that just aches to be held by his mother. It has been so long since they were able to have those moments. Once a baby who presented his telepathic and telekinetic abilities in infancy, always keeping his parents on their toes in those first couple years. “I hope you only heard good things . . .” His lips quirk into a playful grin. Nathan doesn’t care about what most people think about him but when it comes to Jean? Her acceptance matters. He takes a step closer. “I’ve replayed this moment in my head dozens of times but getting to meet you is better than any of those scenarios!” He wants to hug his mother but also doesn’t want to make her uncomfortable by doing so. He took one more step closer so the other could get a better look at him.

“Nobody likes time travel or the year we’re currently stuck in.” While 2012 hadn’t been the worst year for Esme, there’s something about being stuck in that irks her. She cocks her head to the side, eyes narrowing at Nathan’s next words. “Implies what exactly? And I be super careful with your next words if I were you.” The threat is subtle, barely there, but she can’t have anyone knowing that she’s jealous of anyone or anything. Especially when it concerns her sisters. Until the look is dropped, if she’s going to play this part she’ll do it well. “It depends on what you had in mind.”

//

“I don’t really mind it but only when my hand is on the dial deciding where to go. I’m not a fan of this shit . . . someone else controlling my fate.” It pisses him off but Nathan keeps his irritation in check. It won’t do him any good when they don’t know who exactly is the one deserving of his wrath. He doesn’t have any problems punching an Avenger if needed. His eyes widen for a moment, alright, poor choice of words! “Did I say that you were implying something? I meant that it looks like it might start raining.” He gestures vaguely to the clouds in the sky before grinding back at Esme. “Well we could go somewhere to be alone . . . .” He takes a step closer to her, reaching out to move a stand of Esme’s blond hair behind her ear.

there was no doubt in hope’s mind that everything that he said was right, he was her father, she felt it in the familiarity of his presence and in his eyes and his distinguished features. it did, however, it feel strange to have him standing in front of her so young, different from the man he will grow into that she knows from his later years, a part of her feels like this is an incredible opportunity, to know her dad in a different way know what he was like when he was younger. the other part knows how contrasting their dynamic would end up being. she smiles as he speaks, her gaze locks on his and she nods “ i know, ” she assures him “ it’s just something that needs some getting used to. ” hope is slightly taken aback from his request, in a good way if anything, if she had to call him by his name she would be making a lot of slip ups “ no problem then, dad it is. ” she grins, it takes her a moment, she looks at him, she feels a little awkward as she knows she would have thrown herself in for a hug at this point if he was at the age she knew him best, so after some debate she does just that. with a step closer to him hope wraps her arms around his waist, a little more awkward than she anticipated and looks up at him “ i missed you. whatever version you are. ” she chuckles and pulls back “ oh yeah, wrinkles. it’s from all the brow furrowing and serious looks, ” she mimics what she thought was a great older nathan look “maybe this time around you can refrain from it.” the younger mutant shrugs “ i do, it’s cool. hip, really dad ? you meet me and suddenly you have to have father vocab ? ”

There are several similarities between the two versions of Nathan that exist now. While they’re both cynical on some level, he’s filled with more hope than the old man. Which definitely has something to do with spending less time in the apocalyptic future. He was fairly young in comparison, many decades between them in terms of experiences. Which leaves Nathan in this point in his life more likely to being kinder toward other people. Which isn’t to say that he still isn’t rough around the edges because he is and isn’t afraid to let his anger burst from the seams. He wasn’t for everyone and that doesn’t bother him any. His daughter seems to love him and nothing else matters right now. “You can take all the time you need getting used to this. I can let you know where I’ll be staying once I find an apartment. There’s beensomething wrong with all the ones I’ve looked at.” He chuckles a little at his words. Which all boils down to not liking the other tenants in the building. He doesn’t easily trust though so that’s his fault. Nathan smiles when Hope seems to be okay with calling him dad. The way it makes him feel a happiness unlike any other. The old man told him some stories to prepare him for this moment. He’s surprised by the sudden hug but not for long. He keeps his feet planted on the ground, making sure not to stumble backward when their bodies collide. His arms wrapping around her for a tight embrace. “No need to miss me anymore when I’m right here.” His hands gently rubbing her back reassuringly, and kisses the top of her head before they pull away from the interaction. “I do enjoy my serious expressions so it might just be something I’m doomed to have unless I start using wrinkle cream now.” He teases gently but another laugh leaves his lips. “I have a lifetime of dad humor to catch up on! I’ll try not to do it too much. How long have you been in 2012, sweetheart?”

as much as he’d like to say the same, scott was never great with faces, or names, for that matter. “scott lang,” he introduced himself. the name wasn’t at all familiar. despite not being good with names, he knew he hadn’t met him before. “not you so much as the arm. sounds stupid when i say it out loud,” he laughed.

“I’m positive that we haven’t met but I’m not exactly from around here.” Nathan knew a version of this city but from a distant point in the future. He likes not living in an apocalyptic setting anymore but there have been many joys brought into his life with time travel. “It’s nice to meet you. My arm? You might have me confused with one of the other men living in the city. People often mistake the Winter Soldier for me.”

it was probably stupid, but anna wanted to believe that there was good in the world. arguably, she’d experienced enough to know there was limited good in the world, but she chose not to let it make her jaded. it made her feel better. “i like to take strange as a compliment,” she said with a wink. “i get it, sugah. it’s not easy being different like we are,” she said, her tone more serious, a sympathetic smile accompanying her words. “i wish i could say they didn’t, but usually, yeah.”

“I’ve never heard anyone call it a compliment before but that’s a nice way to look at it.” Nathan admits while looking at the other Mutant. He doesn’t necessarily agree though since growing up in the future left society viewing their people in an ominous light. The X-Men were almost mythological to those living in each town, not believing that they really existed. Maybe since it was so taboo for someone like that to actually be living. Nathan hid his powers for so long but when you’re powers are at an Omega-level that eventually draws attention. “All we can do is take each day at a time. Maybe next time I’ll try not yelling at the guy and try your approach. I need to learn that I can’t solve all my problems with my fists.” And not with his other powers either, depending on the situation.

hope’s life had been the furthest from normal and simple, running since she was a baby till she had some sort of stability in her teenage years only to be pulled back to 2012 now. between all of that hte only constant in her life was her father and the most important, she had been hoping to see nathan again when she arrived at that displaced time but she never really considered that she would be facing a much younger version of him, however she had seen much weirder things in her lifetime. the mutant nods at the name that leaves his mouth, not really daring to speak just yet. she widens her eyes slightly and nods her head “no? i see, that makes sense.” she listened carefully to his next words, her eyebrows furrowing, it wasn’t the most out there she has heard truly so it made sense to her “so you are my father, but you’re two years older than me? yeah, it’s weird but nothing i can’t handle. w — what would you like me to call you?” she asked unsure if she should refer to this younger version as dad or not, they have basically just met. she chuckles and shakes her head at the question “no, i just, last time i saw you it was all white. you had more wrinkles too, though. but i like the streak, looks snazzy.”

There’s a sense of pride felt while looking at Hope, knowing that he raises her to be the woman she has become ever since she was a baby. He might not have lived those years yet but that doesn’t change the fact he feels protective over her already. Nathan never had much growing up, very little since Redd and Slim made sure they kept moving from town to town. Nobody could find out that they were Mutants but eventually they left him too. They didn’t want to go but life doesn’t always go according to plan. He learned that lesson the hard way. This left Nathan alone for many, many years. There’s a comfort in knowing his life won’t always be considered lonely. He’ll have her. His little girl. He expects this won’t always be weird but it’s new and doesn’t blame Hope for feeling that way right now. “Exactly. I promise that I’m still me. No matter how old I appear to be.” It’s funny how you can know someone for five minutes and would already burn the world down if anyone tried to hurt her. “I’d really like it if you called me dad..” Nathan can’t imagine being called anything else. “The head of white hair I’ve made peace with but wrinkles?” He chuckles at the thought. “I’m glad you think it’s snazzy. Maybe I’ll finally be hip.”

“I’m really sorry to hear that they give you headaches. I hope you don’t have them all the time.” Nathan is curious about what the other does to relieve that pain but it isn’t really his place to inquire about something so personal yet. “My mother, we have same abilities. I was born with mine. I was apparently creating telekinetic bubbles to glide around the house in back during my toddler years.”

the reasons to why she’s not a people person seems to keep adding up , this for an example . there’s a flick of her fingers , plants breaking through the cracks of the sidewalk and making the other trip onto their face . ‘ and sometimes karma does us all a favor . ’ her move was subtle , she turning to the other . ‘ besides , i’ve literally seen other people who’re half robot around here . i don’t know why they’re so shocked . ’

Humanity will always be afraid of what they don’t understand. No matter how many times Nathan saves them, there’s always going to be someone that can’t let go of their close-mindedness. It’s always taught and when generation after generation come to believe something . . . well, it’s difficult to change how they feel. It amuses him watching as the stranger next to him makes the other trip onto their face. His lips quirk into a smirk for a moment. “It’s well deserved if you ask me. Maybe that will teach them to think twice about saying something like that again. Where I’m originally from there wasn’t anyone else who looked like me. Maybe I should be used to it but instead it just pisses me off still. Oh well. Look at him trying to figure out what tripped him . . . now that’s funny.”

( @bablc ) “You know, Phoebe’s going to be so annoyed I got my date in and she never got her’s.” While Esme is purely interested in Nathan just to spite her sister, there’s still an underlying feeling of jealousy. What does Phoebe have that she doesn’t that turned Nathan’s head? It’s not like they aren’t identical or anything. “But then again, maybe that’s for the best. Less of a chance for her sink her claws into you.”

Is there a competition with the dates and Nathan never knew about it? He didn’t think there is but won’t think about it too hard. He tries to make each date special for the Cuckoo he’s with at the time. It’s important to personalize the experience according to what each one likes. They might be identical but their personalities aren’t. “I told Phoebe that I would make it up to her. All this time travel going on messed up my schedule. I don’t particularly like 2012 so far.” He gazes over at Esme for a moment. “Her claws sinking into me? You know what that implies when you say it like that . . . ?” Jealousy. “You don’t really wanna spend our time together talking about your sister, do you?”
