“Seems like a useful skill to have. I know people who would love to capitalize on that.” They had tried to stuff the students heads full with as much as they could, but there was only so much they could do to the human mind. “They taught us a long time ago not to feel.” Natalia wasn’t meant to be her sister. She was the original, the one to copy and surpass. She was never supposed to be Yelena’s to lose. “But it is.”

“Not to feel? That just sounds like a disaster waiting to hap- y’know what? Forget I said anything.”

“I do like American syndicated television. We did not get it in the Red Room, so I have much to catch up on.” There was always the problem of her losing attention in the middle of a program, which seemed to bug whoever was watching it with her. “Everyone had a rough go.” Nadia shook her head. “Fine? More or less. I’m not going to die anymore.”

“Guess we all did. Glad you’re not going to die anymore though, you’ll have to share the secret of immortality with the rest of us.” He mused wryly regretting his dumb joke just as it escaped his lips.

“It’ll take time, but you will. Eventually. There’s no easy way around grief, is there?” Jean asked softly. Loving meant losing and that was hard. Jean had always been the type to throw herself fully into others. She went into their minds and let them into her heart. Sometimes it was hard to cut them out so she could breathe. 

“Guess so...” He said as he looked at his arm and wiggled his fingers. “It’s nice to have him with me... Feels like he’s not actually gone and that he’s still by my side. It’s just hard to mourn this way.”

“Oh, gross.” Jean rolled her eyes. “Don’t do that again. Jimmy has claws, but he’s a softie. Don’t tell anyone I told you that or I’ll wipe your mind so clean you don’t know your own name. Not that it matters. We may not get to stay together anyway.”

“Been there done that.” He mused. “But fine~ I’ll give it a rest.” He said before a more serious expression took over. “I know. Didn’t know you did.”

Her jaw clenched and unclenched at his words. “Thank you for that completely unsolicited read of me.” The worst part? He was right. “I’ve never had a say in my life. The first  time I did I chose to give this hero thing a shot and look what happened.” Death. God, that was weird. You were supposed to be done when you died. Why was she there? “What’s time going to do? I’m just so angry.”

“You’re welcome.” He mused. “Be angry. Time gives you the chance to work through all of that. Be angry, blow something up, get out your frustrations before they take you into a downward spiral you can’t dig yourself out of.”

“Wow, I’m actually surprised. I never would have guessed that your advanced nation would have trouble streaming Dog Cops. We can get it in Brooklyn with a hijacked signal.”

“We could easily high-jack it, don’t doubt me.” Doug mused. “It’s just we’re trying to do things legally here. Don’t want to make more enemies than we already have. We’re serious about making our home a permanent part of this world, so we got to go about things the right way.”

“Так ты говоришь по русски?” Yelena’s interest piqued as she tilted her head tilted towards the mutant. “Natalia. Моя сестра. As everyone likes to remind me, she died a while ago. Months, actually.”

“I speak everything.” Doug replied with a smirk as he mirrored her head tilt. “I’m sorry to hear that. Losing loved one’s is always hard. As if I have to tell you.”

“Cassie said to try Love Island. I’ve been sitting more, so maybe I’ll do that. Love Island. Sounds fun.” Doing something something sounded even better but that was moot at the moment. “…I  actually wasn’t going to ask. Not today at least. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but I take it slow now.”

“Love Island. Sounds trashy. I’m in.” He said taking a mental note. Doug gave that all too common tight awkward white guy smile and sympathetic nod as he was reminded of what she’d been through. “Right right. You had a rough go of it. You holding up okay?”

From where she was sitting Lana glanced over for a second before moving to stare straight ahead again. “Scary to see how little you actually @#$@#$ mean. Is this the part we start sharing our feelings because we’ve both died? Bonding over entering the unknown? Jesus.” Lana scoffed. “What the @#$@#$ is my problem? I had a good team and I liked someone and I liked my life. Almost. And now I don’t even know what the hell is going on.”

“That’s entirely up to you.” He replied gently with a slight tilt of his head as his floof of hair in the front bounced. “Your problem? I’d say putting all this on you. Not like you had any say in what happened to you right? You went through trauma. You need time. I came back casting spells and trying to kill my team. You’re doing way better than I did.” He said with a small laugh and a soft smile.

“Is it? I hadn’t realized.” Jean arched a brow at the question. “Jimmy? Yeah. What about us? He’s my….” Boyfriend? He was her boyfriend. “We’re close, and people shouldn’t care who I choose to hang out with.”

“Reowr. Here I thought he was the one with the claws.” Doug replied sarcastically. He couldn’t help but hide his smirk as he read her body language and speech patterns like a book.

“Be careful, Doug. Don’t ignore yourself. I know a thing or two about burning out. Sure, power and access to information is amazing but it can become overwhelming before you know it. If you know you have an addictive personality find someone who can help keep you accountable. An anchor.”

As she moved on to her last comment a wave of sadness rushed over him as  he gripped his cybernetic arm. The arm made up of the same Technarch machinery that made his late best friend. “I had someone like that... Hard to replace that role...”

“Don’t tell anyone I said this, but it’s arguably the best on air right now. Wait,” she doubled back. “Are you saying your magical mutant nation doesn’t get Dog Cops?”

“Already tweeted about it, sorry.” Doug mused. “Legal issues with streaming, too far to get cable, and we don’t have any satellite providers. We make do the best we can. So basically, we’ve got spaceships but now TV.”

“A month, aka old news. But you’re right. There’s no use complaining anymore, is there? We all have to move on at some point.” 

“A month in mutant time is like three years. So anyway, you and the blondie with the manicure, huh?”

[livinglexicon]

marvelgiirls‌:

“Do they not give you a break? I know you speak for Krakoa, but you need time to yourself as well.”

“As much as I’d love to play the victim and get everyone to rally around me for a workers union, I put most of the work onto myself. I just get sucked in, y’know? There’s just this new enormous wealth of data for me to process and comprehend and convert to new means that’ll help better science, security, and quality of life that I have a hard time pulling myself away. I’ve got an addictive personality.”

Laura had been stretching, a post training warm-up. Her position on the grass was more coincidentally next to Doug than the fact that  she’d want to talk to him. “Hm?” She gazed up through squinted eyes. “Sure. I guess.” 

“Or did you just want to do that Wolverine thing where we sit in gruff silence?”

[livinglexicon]

pclariis‌:

“Mutant rights boring you now? Does Krakoa share your opinion?”

“Krakoa is intrigued by all of this and has sympathy for us. He’s growing to care more. All I’m trying to say is I’m ready to stop binging this show and put on a rerun of the office and just unwind.”

“We seem to get a lot of reactions.” The three said at once. “A little bit of both.” Sophie answered. “I mean, the world hasn’t blown up today. I think we can play a little game.” Esme pointed out, resting the mallet on her shoulder. “Though it is a little fun to watch people sweat.” Phoebe chuckled as she tapped her ball.

“I feel like an apocalypse still wouldn’t stop you three from enjoying the discomfort you cause in others.” Doug teased lightly with a small laugh.
