“Yeah…Jean likes to do that too.” 

"Maybe Jean is onto something. Does it drive you crazy? Jamie doesn’t love it.”

falsecap​:

“yeah, how unfortunate for us.”

"You sound bitter. Are you bitter?”

lhunter​:

“immortality, huh? that’s a new one.”

"Give or take a few years. We can just say I was the first.”

wizardstrange​:

“And what’s the point of a power like that?” Maybe it was an arrogant thing to say, but Stephen didn’t have it in him in that moment to hold back.

"It technically brings them back. It was pretty revolutionary before the Krakoan thing.”

xshadowpryde​:

“Pirates aren’t all bad,” Though most of those she knew personally were a giant sack of dicks. “Plundering, fun songs, peg legs. What’s not to like?” 

“Scurvy?” Layla tosses out. “That seems like a definite drawback. Otherwise, you’re making an excellent case for piracy.”

Marc was about to tell her that he didn’t mean that literally, but then he heard the wind shifting behind him and caught a glance of Khonshu’s robes before pointedly turning his attention back towards Layla. “There is, yeah. All the time, for the most part.” Unfortunately. He heard Khonshu let out a low laugh at his thought, and his eye twitched with annoyance as he sighed. “It’s not as cool as it sounds.”

“I’m not totally sure it sounds like it would be cool. I’m not religious. Never have been. I’m also pretty sure I couldn’t tell one god from another unless it was, like, Thor or Loki. Something about some big entity watching you has never sat well with me. To each their own, I guess.”

“I’m just making an observation here,” Valentina insisted, playing up the mock offense in her town before she shrugged. “You can’t tell me you’re not at least a little curious to see how it unfolds.”

“I spent my life knowing everything. Or, just about. This whole waiting to see how it unfolds thing is new to me.” Honestly, Layla kind of hates it.

TILLY KEEPER in YOU

oldmancable​:

“You want my two cents? It’s just a different kind of mess everywhere I go. That’s all I’ve got to say.”

“Yeah, I get that.” Layla’s hopped around. She had come from the future at a relatively young age, bringing with her a shit ton of knowledge that gave her a leg up in the game. “People who don’t time travel don’t get how messy it is all the time.”

madamefontaine​:

“I think the resurrection scandal is the furthest thing from people’s minds right now. I’m more concerned with what the mutants are going to think about S.H.I.E.L.D. kidnapping their own. That can’t be good for peaceful relations.”

“If you’re looking for a war cry, you’re not going to get one from me.” Layla’s never been the type. She’s not upper echelon or anything like that. Right now, she’s not even rostered. She’s just raising Davey while Jamie works with X-Factor. “Go find Emma Frost or Scott Summers. Hell, they might even be together. That’d make your life easier.”

antdad​:

“i get why you guys did it, but maybe it can be used for good—” scott shrugged, “even though my gut tells me the exact opposite might be true.”

“You may want to get your gut checked out ‘cause it sounds like it’s lying to you.” Layla scoffs. “Even our baddies are behaving now. Harm no man, y’know? We’re just looking out for ourselves as well.”

ex-odus​:

“I am not here to listen to your whining. The Avengers must deal with the consequences of their own actions in Pleasant Hill. I want no part of it.”

“Harsh. People are definitely going to whine at you, just so you know. You have one of those faces.”

[laylamillers-archive]

spectormcrc​:

“Don’t get me wrong, not everyone has a God on their side to resurrect them whenever they want. Or a miracle mutant resurrection backup if things go south. Maybe that makes my opinion a little jaded.”

“You’ve got a God behind you? That’s way different than anything I do.” Layla’s pretty sure she’s never met a god before. She’s had near omnipotence ( that’s exaggerated ) and can bring people back from the dead, but she’s no god herself. “Trippy.”

[laylamillers-archive]

babyfoureyes​:

“I actually…don’t have an answer for that. That’s more of a bigwig, upper echelon of mutant society type of question.”

She’s a know it all and always has been. “I can answer it myself. I just wanted to see if you knew.”

[laylamillers-archive]

c-yxlops​:

“It was one time.” He looks sullen, serious. “So you can laugh, one time, but then it’s time to drop it.” 

“I happen to have a very good memory, but I’ll do my best to blot it out.” It’s how she knows so much. “I haven’t seen you in what feels like ten years, Cyclops. Have you seen Jamie recently?”

[laylamillers-archive]

spectormcrc​:

“Immortality ain’t all it’s cracked up to be anyways.” The news that the mutants had cracked it hadn’t bothered him in the slightest, considering Khonshu had proved several times over that he could bring Marc back from death if needed.

“You’re one of the first people I’ve talked to who feel that way. Everyone else is so up in arms about the entire thing.”

“What’s the use if you don’t train them young?” Kate crouched down and held her fingers out until the toddler waddled into the pads at the tip. With the other, she pulled the sword from the ground and out of immediate reach. “Imagine him with a little tiny sword. Adorable.” 

“Training is one thing. Blind stabbing is another. I have a feeling that right now we’re leaning towards the former. Correct me if I’m wrong.” Layla shrugs. She’s very rarely wrong. “He’s always adorable, so you’re not wrong. I’m not sure how Jamie would feel about raising a mini pirate. We may have to sell him on it.”
