sms / mia & rowan

ROWAN: Yeah I'm trying not to think to hard on how that story goes for the X-Men because from what I understand it's not fuckin' easy.

ROWAN: Sounds about right, but alright that works for me then, just let me know if that changes.

[...]

ROWAN: Your dad's okay right like... He's not dead or anything? Also you're safe?

ROWAN: I don't pretend to know the kind of life you've had but I know enough that it can get pretty fuckin' dicey and stuff. If it's somethin' you wanna discuss more somewhere more secure I'm down, but if you can't I get that too.

MIA: I can't say I know or understand much. Care to enlighten?

MIA: It won't. Trust me.

MIA: No, no, of course he's not dead. He's alive and--- well, not /well/, per se. But he's trying. I can tell his removal of power is getting to him and it's all I can do not to tell him to suck it up, honestly. And I'm always safe.

MIA: Well-- if you're free to come over, I wouldn't say no. So long as you can keep this between us.

Inhaling sharply, she seemed to sink into herself even more. She had so, so many reasons why she shouldn’t. Why the whole thing- to reregister and lose her status, start her life over as a switch- was a bad idea. And yet, in her heart of hearts, she knew there really was no other option. No matter how much her brain shouted and pleaded and argued and sent her logical thought after logical thought, she had to do. “You’re right. I- I know you are. I just- where am I supposed to even start?”

Mia shrugged. “That’s something for you to think about. Figure out yourself.” She paused, feeling Ainsley tense a little. In hindsight, Mia supposed her words didn’t provide much direction or solace. But at the end of the day, this was Ainsley’s life-- a life Mia was no longer a part of. “You can start small. Tell a few people, expand to others or do a press release. Regardless-- you should think about what’s best for you. Maybe call that friend of yours, Rachel."

PRIVATE: 

I hope you can feel me rolling my eyes from here. Yeah? So what’s your angle, then? Just bored? Because there are a lot more fun things to do with me than argue and front and shit. You act like I’m some kind invaluable asset? If I lose my “access” to the police station, it’s not going to be by my own volition, babe. So glad we got that sorted.

PRIVATE: 

You’re the one alluding to no longer having a job at the station anymore. I was only reacting. Do you think I want to talk to you? Do you think i want to force myself to stand you any longer than I have to? Before you exhaust all your brain cells in one fell swoop, I’ll answer it for you-- No. The answer is no, I do not want to waste my time going in endless circles with you. Right now, until I can bring another officer in, you’re my go-to for any information I need from there. Well. Then I suggest you figure it out, Miss.

sms / mia & rowan

ROWAN: Uh... Probably X-Men right? I know shit about it other than ya know, they're a thing with mutants in it but.. Yeah I could pick up some stuff I guess.

ROWAN: Thanks Mia.

ROWAN: Oh, okay.

[...]

ROWAN: Could I still deal with directly because I made the deal with you and I'm not sure I'd be comfortable working with anyone else on this stuff.

[...]

ROWAN: Also stop me if I'm over stepping but are you good? Because I know you-- Your family, doesn't take work with other people lightly.

MIA: At least see what others are saying. It's..compelling. And worrying.

MIA: You can still deal with me, I don't see how he'd have a problem with that. Besides, I'm positive he enjoys his mask of anonymity.

[ ... ]

MIA: That's none of your business.

[ ... ]

MIA: There were some complications we're not-- my dad's not proud of. He was put in a position that voided any and all power he'd gained over the years and in short, I had to take over on behalf of our family to keep what we've built from being entirely taken over.

[ ... ]

MIA: I realize that might not make a lot of sense. But I'm-- This is sensitive information, is all. I have to be careful, for everyone's sake.

sms / mia & rowan

ROWAN: No you’re fine we’re, ya know... Whatever so it’s fine. Uh... It feels strange it doesn’t burn like a sore throat it just /aches/ and I’m not sure why.

ROWAN: I got you, no worries.

ROWAN: If it happens again I’ll... I’ll call you? I’m really hoping I don’t have too though.

ROWAN: Uh, yeah it’ll be a pretty big crowd for the venue and we usually sell out of water when it’s like this.

MIA: Okay. Okay, good. I was researching some things in the news, comparing things, and people are relating this to that of comic books? -- Something to look into, I suppose.

MIA: For your sake, I hope you don't have to call me. But I'll be here.

MIA: I don't work alone anymore-- my family doesn't work alone. A lot has changed as far as leadership is concerned, but I'll speak with my partner-- he's in charge of drug distribution.

sms / mia & rowan

ROWAN: No nothing. I’ve tried every googable remedy I could find.

ROWAN: And yeah you have a point could have totally just been a freak accident ya know?

[...]

ROWAN: Were having a show next week, are you sending cases of water to the shop for me to sell?

MIA: Does it hurt when you talk or does it feel strange? If I'm prodding too much, do tell. I'm just--

MIA: You're the first person I've come across and this is suddenly becoming a lot realer than I thought it was. So..curiosity.

MIA: I'm hoping it's just a freak accident. But if it isn't-- we should look into trying to control it before you hurt someone. Or yourself, even more.

MIA: Would you like me to send some?

I’ve never really thought about the repercussions of it seriously, but it kind of sounds like you have. At least a little. You haven’t, though.. right? 

I can’t say I live and breathe this sort of thing, but I’ve thought about it a little, yeah. I haven’t--- what, exactly? Experienced anything abnormal myself?

PRIVATE:

I s2g sometimes I think you want me to take you over my knee and beat that cute ass of yours black and blue. No? And yet, you’re out here trying to be the big bad of this town. And it is personal, babe. My cousin’s wellbeing isn’t just business- the same as how your dad’s wasn’t. Besides, this shit’s a two way street- I’m not gonna forget you in all this, regardless of what I’m considering. But stop tryna- idk- blackmail me? #not cool

PRIVATE: 

Oh! A spanking! I’m sooo scared. If I was trying to achieve the title of big bad of this town, I think I’d try a little harder than going back and forth with you, of all people. Hm-- so dramatic. I was only reminding you of what you have on the line, should you purposefully lose your access to the police station. Now that I have some sort of reassurance you won’t be shirking any responsibilities there, I don’t have to remind you of anything.

sms / mia & rowan

ROWAN: I'm still kinda freaked out tbh, my throat hurts but it's not as bad as when you came to see the window.

[...]

ROWAN: not yet.

MIA: Is anything helping your throat? Hot tea, saltwater gargles, soup?

MIA: Well. As long as it doesn't happen again, there's no cause to panic or worry too much. Maybe it was just a one-time instance?

This is what she needed- the familiar comfort. Even if Mia wasn’t the most comforting person, this was closer than they’d been in a long time. And it was more than enough to help Ainsley calm, to feel on more level ground than she had in months- if not years. “I can’t stop.” She murmured, shaking her head. “If I tell the truth- it’s entirely uncharted territory.” Yet, without her father’s support- his instruction, his influence- she was certain she wouldn’t be able to pull it off. Not anymore. She would be looking over her for the rest of her life. “I don’t- I don’t even know how to be a Switch, Mia.”

Mia couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle. The answer was so obvious-- the right thing to do was so obvious. And yet, Ainsley, in all her stubbornness, refused. Mia couldn’t say she was surprised.  “Do you think most people know how to be their mark prior to getting it in the first place? Just because it’s uncharted territory, doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. I wouldn’t want to be marked a Switch. But if I was, I don’t think I could stand to hide it for long. And you? -- It’s been far too many years, Ainsley. “

ROWAN: hey

ROWAN: the window looks really good, thank you for getting it fixed so fast.

MIA: Of course, it wasn't a problem at all.

MIA: How are you?

ROWAN: I don’t wanna tell you details over text but I think... I don’t know the news might be on to something.

MIA: I'm on my way.

sms / camia

Cam: Here's where a less tasteful person would make a joke about the size of my other head, but let's not.

Cam: I'm not going to pretend I don't care.

Cam: Regardless, with the substantial amount of firsthand accounts and rumors flying around as of late, are you being safe?

Mia: I think you bringing it up makes you that less tasteful person. :)

Mia: I suppose there is a type of appeal in not being so stoic all the time.

Mia: I am, don't worry. I'm a little worried about what this is going to do to society, though. And what it'll do for business. Have you..actually witnessed anythng../strange/?

I’ve taken to liking the term ‘sabbatical’, I think. I’m feeling much better but I still feel like I would’ve preferred to stay there. One day I’d love to just have a house in France and…move there. Have a nice dom, stay away from people. It’s the dream.

I can’t say I disagree. Perhaps Spain for me, though. Or Cuba. What made you leave in the first place? I haven’t heard much about you through the grapevine since you and your ex first split-- surely, it couldn’t have been because of that.

There are. There’s also odd ‘reenacted’ ER stories. Which are just.. wild. What do you recommend yourself? I’m not saying I do or I don’t, just that I have a level of open-mindedness for it, because it may well be fake or it may just be that we need to prepare. As a former medical professional, and a licensed doctor, I don’t write off anything without proper proof to the contrary. And same for fully believing, as well. I simply think we need to see more than the footage and unreliable accounts. First-hand experience would be best.

Those, I’m well aware of. I’ve seen a few where people get..questionable things stuck inside themselves and honestly, just a few episodes of that was enough. It depends on what you’re looking for. There’s the romance/claim ones. Home renovation, claim swap, etc. Well-- have you had first hand experience thus far? Seems as though a lot has changed in a week.

ROWAN: because something happened and I need help.

MIA: Rowan, it's very late at night. Unless you can tell me what's going on and give me a good reason to come down there, I'm not going to.
