“We all have those days,” Dawn answered, turning around so she could face the grounds as well. “They’re normal. Feeling… frustrated, confused, scared, is normal. What’s important is being able to pick yourself up again after the fact.”

crystal finally smiled. “you’re definitely right. and..” she considered her next few words to be of utmost importance. she knew she wasn’t just speaking to the woman ; crystal was also talking to herself to be given hope. “i may not be able to pick myself up right away, but that’s okay.” she turned to dawn. “thank you. so much. i guess i just really needed someone to talk to.”

Dawn shifts so her back is against the railing, listening carefully to what the girl has to say, her head cocked to the side. “Sometimes I do,” she replies after a small moment of silence, nodding in agreement. “This life can be a lot. But… at the end of the day, think of all the good we’re doing. All the people we’re helping. Doesn’t that make it worth it?” 

crystal paused. she took in the other’s words for a bit. she turned back to the mansion grounds. her mind flashed back to all the times she’s helped people out ; people she’s saved, crises she’s helped avert. “honestly? yes. it is worth it.” her grip on the railing loosened. “it’s just one of those days, i guess. it’s just..so much has happened. i can’t help but long for the days i didn’t have to worry about much.” she admitted.

she rested her hands on the balcony’s rail and observed the mansion grounds below her. the other’s words gave her a sense of vindication. offering a small smile, crystal responded. “that seems to be the very thing that could determine how much of my abilities i can unlock. but..emotions could also cause me to cause much more damage than i anticipated.” crystal turned to her. “do you ever..you know..think about what life would be like if we didn’t choose this path?”

*· ☆,.-   Jean Grey was usually no one who did panic easily. Not with everything the young woman had gone through already. But, truth to be told, the fact that she suddenly found herself in a total foreign place was a scary thing to happen, even for her.

The first impulse of the female was to call Scott, but her phone just made some dying noises, refusing to call anyone of the X-Men at this point, no matter how hard Jean was trying.

Opening herself up a little, she could hear the thoughts of others, who were obviously in a similar situation - lost, all alone, and utterly confused about what was happening to them.

“Hello,” finally there was another person walking along in the near distance, and Jean took her chance. “Excuse me, but this is urgent, please! I really need to know what is going on here!”

crystal stopped in her tracks. 

she was still reeling from the events from the last few days. she may not have gotten as injured as others were, but the sheer terror of seeing others perish...it was the part of being a ‘hero’ that she despised. it made her long for the days when she didn’t know as much as she did now ; not having felt as much as she has now.

seeing the other woman, crystal gave a small smile out of habit. after they’ve asked the question though is when crystal let the smile drop. she supposed that she should be used to it by now, people coming in left and right. but she never does. crystal nods, understanding her distress. “if i’m not wrong, then you’re also from another timeline.” she began. “so am i. we both traveled back in time. it’s 1974.”

(¸.• ♛ → A small smile now showed up on her lips and put the broken phone on her purse, shrugged now “Nothing, really, just it brokes” A sigh escaped from her lips now with her gaze on the redhead and trying to figure things out now. A sigh escaped from her lips now her gaze on the other one “I’m just a bit lost, you know what happened? Why we are here? I’m just trying to look for answers”

crystal nodded. she has also felt that way before -- when she first arrived. “i understand. it’s quite overwhelming.” she held a hand out. “my name is crystal. i’ll try to answer every question you may have. first off, we’re in the seventies. you have traveled through time to help us. i’m assuming you were brought here without your consent?”

ASK MEME / ✋ standing over an unmoving figure + @vctorstcne

crystal stopped making the ground underneath the figure vibrate subtly. still no response from the unconscious man. “i’ve been trying to wake him up for the last few minutes. i pushed and poked and..i don’t know. i hope you have any ideas because i think i just ran out.”

crystal doesn’t have much party tricks outside of her abilities, but her go - to is the good old ‘tying a cherry stem with just her mouth’ thing.

(¸.• ♛ → No one was answering. Kara was worried about her sister and her friends in National City but no one was answering, by accident, she couldn’t help but broke the phone that was in her hands and looked at it “Great…” A sigh escaped from her lips “How can I be here?” She couldn’t help but mutter out loud, not really knowing that someone was near her.

[crystlia]

ever since transporting back to the seventies, crystal felt restless. sure, the whole thing may as well be a bad dream, but it was bad enough that she felt that she needed more than ever to help stop stryker now. she couldn’t let that future happen. lost in her thoughts, she almost bumped into the other. crystal’s eyes wandered to the other’s broken equipment. “is everything okay?” she asked, gesturing to the other’s phone.

💬 + you only dated johnny because you couldn't have sue

“as beautiful sue storm is, that is not true. feelings definitely played a huge part in how my relationship with johnny started.”

  ‘  you know, if we’re all going to be stuck here in the 70′s ––– the least you could do is wear some bell-bottoms.  ’  big talk from a girl who goes to work in red docs, but if now isn’t a time for levity; when?  ‘  i don’t mean to be a hater, but i just feel like we’re not really embracing the vibe here !   ’

[crystlia]

“i’d rather not think about the possibility - well, temporary reality - of being stuck here. it’s a little...sad.” crystal looked down at her dress and boots. “i mean, i’d wear them if i go out, but maybe not if i just wanna stay inside.” she reasoned.

“So what you’re about to taste is Grandma Esther’s very spiked egg nog. I’m gonna warn you, it’s really strong. Like Grandma Esther never held back and neither will I. So… what do you think?”

[crystlia]

she tilted her head, examining the liquid. “i don’t know if i’ve ever had egg nog before, but it does look nice.” crystal carefully took a sip of it and let the taste sink in before giving a smile. “interesting taste...it is strong...but i like it!” she exclaimed, taking another sip. “your grandma esther is very talented and so are you.”

It was one of those days, it seemed. The ones where it was a little too hard to get out of bed, and when even the drop of a pin could cause a raging migraine. A type of day where one wanted to scratch at their skin, hopping that they could shed it because it was too uncomfortable and exhausting to remain the person they are. As luck would have it, it was also a rainy and seemingly gloomy day, so there was really no excuse for anybody to be outside, and Peggy took advantage of that, leaving the confines of the mansion for the crisp air.

Unfortunately it was a winter rain, and in her state of mind, it had slipped her thoughts completely that she might need a jacket or an umbrella. Not to mention, she was stuck a few miles from the mansion, the buses which would get her significantly closer to it seemed to all have stopped running, and walking would not be an option because her shoes already seemed to have accumulated water in them, and she would be more likely to risk hypothermia if she walked the 40 minutes back, rather than wait for the bus. 

[crystlia]

lockjaw, the poor canine, fell asleep back at the mansion in their shared space. the urge to explore the city more bit crystal and she went ahead and rode a bike someone had left by the door. the weather didn’t mind her much ; the opportunity to explore on her own didn’t come often. ( nor did she want to. in all honesty, lockjaw’s teleportation abilities did save a lot of time ) she didn’t have much currency on her person but she figured looking won’t cost much. she trusted herself to have enough self control to not buy whatever shiny thing they had on display.

at the end of the day, a familiar feeling of dread was spreading through her. maybe it was guilt for leaving her trusted companion behind or just plain worry, but she knew that she wanted to go back to the mansion. the weather may not have agreed with her, but crystal could have more than enough heat in a short while. spotting someone that looked as worried as she might be, she slowly made their way to her. “are you alright?” the woman asked, trying to discern whether what might be the problem -- besides the already obvious problem of the treacherous weather.

          it wasn’t originally in jade’s plans to join the heroes and villains alike back in the 70′s, especially not with lian in her custody, but after months of radio silence and a rather restless cheshire, she found herself and her daughter upon the front steps to xavier’s school for gifted youngsters. opening the front doors cautiously, dark hues take in the rather mundane conditions of the mansion. she absentmindedly bounces lian on her hip for a few passing moments before allowing the toddler down, her finger gripped tightly in her daughter’s fist. it isn’t until jade sees that they aren’t alone that she’s clearing her throat. “this is cute. quaint.” 

[crystlia]

after a previous incident regarding spilt tea and broken cups, crystal felt it was better to have her beverage in the mornings where there surely won’t be any chance for them to encounter individuals that affect her greatly. after putting away all the utensils and glassware, crystal began to walk back to her own room, eager to see if lockjaw had finished the food she prepared. encountering someone near the doors, she smiled upon seeing a toddler. she had a soft spot for them ; tiny and cute and so full of wonder and potential. after a few seconds, she looked up at who she assumed was the mother and gave a sheepish smile. “i’m so sorry. i didn’t mean to stare. she’s very cute.” she rambled, embarassed and worried that she might have crossed some unknown boundaries.

hercules was hoping that the gardens could be a place to find some peace and quiet of his own, to clear his head. the few-decade time jump was like a blink of an eye for the immortal, but that did nothing to prevent the headache that came along with adjusting to a time before the 21st century conveniences he’d grown accustomed to. it still astounded him, how quickly the mortal world could change. when he was instead greeted by the demonstration before him, he watched quietly until the unfamiliar girl was finished. “no not at all, sorry if i disturbed you…” the god’s expression mimicked that of a curious child as he nodded past her, to the empty land that had housed her display just moments earlier. “that’s pretty impressive. is it magic?”

crystal stared up at the man. as long as she’s been in the mansion, it was clear that she wasn’t familiar with all of the residents yet. not to mention, the amount of people coming in to help with the sentinels - or even just arriving randomly - increase every day. she gave a smile and shook her head in response. “no. not exactly.” she put her arms back to her sides. “i’m an inhuman and these are the abilities i gained through something called terrigenesis. are you familiar with it?” she asked. crystal knew there were other ‘kinds’ of people inside the mansion ; ones who had abilities like she does but didn’t go through terrigenesis or didn’t call themselves inhumans.

her hair blows back slightly as she watches the girl before her, easily amazed with her actions. it was still amazing to mary-jane that she lived in the same walls as countless heroes, or villains, with amazing abilities. as she’s caught staring at the other she gives a nervous smile, grip tightening on her book. “oh! um..sorry..” she doesn’t exactly know what to say at first, feeling incredibly awkward. “i was just watching, honestly. you can..continue if you want!”

crystal was about to respond, but nodded instead, then turned back to maybe do more. however, she grew conscious of the fact that she didn’t respond, so she turned back again to face the other. she didn’t mind others watching, after all. usually, she would have lockjaw and his barking ‘cheer’ her on, never really having much friends during the earlier part of her life. “i hope i didn’t hurt you somehow. sometimes, i forget how much wind i actually manipulate.”

“ ––– no you may not” tommy said with a smile on his face as the girl seemed to be doing some kind of magic? or pherheps she was just a mutant too; who knew. “what were you doing?” he asked. he himself had found a nice place to run laps around the mansion close to the gardens. so he had simply wanting to see what the vibration in the ground was; the on he could hear. 

she put her arms down, studying the other. they seem harmless so she gave a polite smile. “i was just..training. or well, not training, just..wanting to use my powers for a bit.” she admitted. there really was no ‘ real ‘ reason to use her powers other than she wanted to. though she didn’t know if that sort of thing was okay to do.
