dyanixl:
“… It’s not what it looks like.” There was remorse in her tone, but if anything, she was just sorry she was caught. “Okay, maybe it’s exactly what it looks like. But I can explain.”
marcos stood, his arms crossed about his chest. brow raised as he spoke to the other despite the fact he wasn’t that intimidating. “then i suggest you start talking dyani,”
chaxticgood:
Miriam smiled at that, appreciating his care. “Thanks, Marcos.” His question was likely just polite, but Miri found herself hesitating before laughing lightly. “Um, I’ve been alright.” She shrugged at the other question. “Earth shattering?” she repeated.
“no problem,” marcos shrugged looking at his niece and nodding.“oh you know, nothing has seemed like the end of the world right?” he cared about her ( of course he did ) and so he saw it as his duty to make sure she was alright.
volatileforces:
[ sms // marcos. ] : yeah. [ sms // marcos. ] : i’ll be fine.
[ text // naomi ☀️ ]: i’m sure [ text // naomi ☀️ ]: keep your chin up sunshine
@chaxticgood said “you don’t have to be so gentle.”
“well i’d rather not break it,” marcos replied to the other. he was only holding her latop. he had only been handed it for a second but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to be extra careful. “how have you been miri? no earth shattering moments right?”
ofdaddyant:
“finding a healthy balance between work and play has always been of utmost importance to me.” scott replied, simply, shoulders lifting up in a casual shrug. he didn’t feel the need to mention how essentially being a janitor at the school didn’t take up that much time - and he certainly wasn’t about to throw out in the open just how little he had been doing as ant-man, of late. it was sort of a sore subject. “three words: game of thrones,” yeah, so, he was a LITTLE late to the party. in his defense, he had been dead. “everything you could want, condensed into neat hour long episodes. i haven’t slept since i started season two.”
marcos had always been the type to add too much to his plate, between the x-men as well as teaching it was safe to say his days were pretty occupied. there was always something around campus that he could help out with. “isn’t that the one with the dragons?” he asked brows raised. “don’t know why but i didn’t think you’d be a fantasy guy,” the male mutant is joking mostly, if anything scott seemed like the type of guy who would have tried anything once. “you might wanna speak to a doctor about that,” he joked with a grin. “or at least get your kids to take away hbo once and a while,”
greenhairedmama:
“mmm, more bad jokes please, i need all the laughing I can get today,” she pauses a moment, the act of weighing the option of having him here rather than not taking only a moment, “come over. i get to be more lazy if you’re here anyway,” she shrugs pulls her blanket up, “and if you come with coffee, I don’t even have to get out of bed to make it, and you won’t just have a sleeping bundle of nothing to talk to.”
“now you’re just assuming that i am going to take care of everything for you, i’m not a waiter babe,” it was strange that even now, after all the time that had passed the two of them could still laugh like this, and that if he closed his eyes he could picture the expression on her face. he sighs then; dramatic and playful, but he finds himself agreeing anyway. “well when you put it that way how could i possibly do anything else? i won’t be long,”
shincbrightcr:
“Sorry.” He mumbles quietly the moment Marcos sighs. He doesn’t mean to keep pushing these things on his family, having this moments and dragging them in to deal with it, too. It’s been years, Nadir should be past this by now - he knows he should, he needs to find a way, but… it’s not always that easy. Some days, that feels like just about the hardest thing to do in the world, and Nadir just doesn’t feel up to it today.
He’s so dangerously close to getting whisked away with that thought when he feels the hands on his shoulders, warm and strong and steady and they bring him back to this, to here and now and he looks up at his father. The nickname brings a slight smile to his lips - slight, but genuine. It doesn’t always feel like he deserves it, but.. he likes it all the same. “I know. I’m trying.” He admits softly, letting out a soft sigh. “Some days.. most days are fine, really. I guess it just gets to me. Every now and then I just.. have a bad day with it. I don’t - know how to explain it, I’m sorry.”
the elder mutant shakes his head when the other apologises. he hadn’t meant to the sigh like that, he was just: tired. “no, no, don’t apologise, you shouldn’t have to,” he just wished he could take away the other’s troubles, find some way to answer his questions and yet he couldn’t it’s just another factor on a long list of things he was never going to be able to change no matter how he might long to. part of the weight he carried around on his shoulders.
“it’s alright,” he speaks, his voice is gentle, the way it might have been after an especially bad nightmare back when his kids were, well kids. “thank you for trying to tell me,” he’s well aware of the way the other trusts him, what that means and the way that he simply couldn’t afford to let the other down. “it’s normal to have good days and bad days, i know you’re mom does, things like this aren’t ever simple... look the fact that you’re even trying to talk about it is so good. you’re gonna get there eventually okay. you’ll wake up one day and things will seem a little lighter i swear, you’ve just gotta take small steps to get there,”
greenhairedmama:
Lorna’s laugh rings out on the call, tucked warmly in her blankets, “your bad jokes are my favorite,” she says as she settles, thinking for just a moment before she continues, “I definitely wouldn’t be opposed to some company. I’m alright, feels good to sleep in for a day.”
the sound of lorna laughing had a habit of settling marcos better than anything than anything else ( the exception being a phone call from their children). “i suppose they have to be someones,” he grins shaking his head. “oh yeah? you want me to make my way over there? good. you deserve the rest,”
@ofdaddyant said ‘ binge-watching is great until you run out of the show and have to start watching it weekly like some sort of medieval peasant. ’
“i’m amazed you even have time for tv,” marcos speaks with a shake of his head. he can’t say it was ever something he was particularly attached to. back when he had been part of the underground there hadn’t exactly been the best signal, and then later when he was on an official member of the x-men he didn’t exactly have the chance to sit around watching downton abbey. “you saying there’s something i need to start watching?”
@shincbrightcr said ‘ i hate knowing that people that ruined parts of me still live and function like nothing ever happened. ’ || accepting
the sigh that leaves his lips is one of someone who is quite clearly getting to old for this. he’s worn, he’s tired and frankly all marcos wanted to do was scoop up his family and take them somewhere safe, preferably with good weather. still that would hardly solve all of their problems, especially not nadir’s. god what marcos wouldn’t have done to make things easier for his son. still there was nothing, and instead he was here doing what he could to take care of the broken pieces.
“hey, hey, hey sunshine,” marcos speaks taking a few steps towards the other so that he can place a hand on each of his shoulders, hoping that it might ground him, remind the younger that he is here with him rather than anywhere else. “i know it’s awful, but you have to try and focus on you alright. forget everything else, so long as you’re ok that’s what we have to focus on,”
@greenhairedmama said "My 'stay in bed all day' game is too strong. " || accepting
“you sure because i can totally give you a hand. you know what they say about team work,” marcos chuckles from where he stands on his side of the phone, leaning against one of the academy’s outside walls, headed no where in particular. “and that may be the worst joke i make all week... how’s you’re day going babe?”
volatileforces:
[ sms // marcos. ] : more like i’m still adjusting to what happened last year. [ sms // marcos. ] : and also adjusting to being out of school. [ sms // marcos. ] : it’s a lot.
[ text // naomi ☀️ ]: right [ text // naomi ☀️ ]: well you know my door is always open [ text // naomi ☀️ ]: you deserve a break alright

scott enjoyed pride immensely. and he was extremely glad that the school had decided to throw an even of their own, filled with parades and parties. but he was paranoid. paranoid that something bad would happen. he didn’t trust people sometimes and they had disappointed him plenty of times. so his hand was naturally near his sunglasses, ready to strike. but he found marcos handing out bottles. “can i help with that?” he smiled before grabbing a bottle from the box. “seems like you could use a break.”
“and you look like you’re about to go stir crazy,” marcos comments with a laugh. whatever arguments he had with scott’s brother he still had a great level of respect for the male. they were x-men together after all, even if they didn’t see eye to eye all of the time. he still ultimately trusted the other with his life. “relax scott, something happens we’re here to limit the damage, let the kids have a bit of fun while they can,” the fact that neither of them had been at the rally hung in the air. “but if you’re that desperate for a job i wouldn’t mind having an assistant,”
empvtias:
the pint-haired girl lets out a giggle, feeling like a child again in the presence of her dad, one of her two favorite people in the world. despite keeping her distance from her family ( for their own good, she told herself ), she could never stay away from her parents. she would never be completely separated from them, even if what kept her close to them was a phone call every couple of days. ❝ so you’re staying ? ❞ she asks, an excited glint in her eyes. they’re finally all back together. and while that worried her ( lots of people, lots of emotions, lots of ways to get into her head ), her joy at getting the opportunity to mend all the fractures in her family is greater. ❝ so much has happened, but i guess that was to be expected, ❞ she says with another laugh. ❝ have you seen the others ? ❞
marcos’ life had changed first with the inclusion of lorna dane, and then again when daphne had been born. his first child, she had changed everything, suddenly like his own heart was walking around outside of his body, that girl had become his entire world so quickly. there was not a single thing he wouldn’t have done just to see her smile. “mhmm, at least for a little while, i know that must be terrible news for you,” he jokes as if he hadn’t noticed just how happy the news had made her. he finally had the chance to be around the four of them, to fix things where he needed to. he wasn’t about to pass that up. “can’t say that’s all that surprising,” he spoke voice gentle. “your mother just briefly, my priority was coming to check on you,”
volatileforces:
[ sms // marcos. ] : one of my favorites ! [ sms // marcos. ] : you don’t have to apologize [ sms // marcos. ] : i’m still adjusting
[ text // naomi ☀️ ]: anyone would think i knew that [ text // naomi ☀️ ]: i kinda do kiddo [ text // naomi ☀️ ]: it’s a lot to take in huh?
he wasn’t sure how he had managed to be roped in for helping with pride, not that he minded too much. on the whole it just meant he had to keep an eye on the kids, and be ready to step in if someone needed him. in that moment he busied himself by handing out bottles ofwater to make sure no one was about to go down with heat stroke. “having fun?” he asked the other gently, sure he was looking foolish with the amount of glitter on his person. “it’s hot, have a drink,”
shincbrightcr:
Their family is.. messy, Nadir knows that. Even before, when he had retreated so far into himself, he had been painfully aware of how strange their family situation has been. But at such a young age, and with everything he’d been struggling to come to terms with, one thing he did know is that Marcos was there for him. Marcos was there when his father was not, and at that time that’s what mattered. Even now, that’s what matters.
It’s good to see him here, see him safe, and Nadir can’t help but feel relieved at the sight of the man’s smile. To know that he’s safe and sound, and back home with them again. “You know I’m not usually far away from mom and Naomi.” He answers with a soft chuckle, looking up at the man. It takes a moment for him to consider Marcos’ offer before stepping in closer for a quick hug. “I’d like that. What do you want to do? You’re the one who’s been away for a while - it’s your call.”
marcos hadn’t had the best of childhoods, and even that had ended when he had been thrown out onto the street. he had wanted to give his kids a better life than that whether they shared his genes or not, nadir was the closest thing to a son the male had, especially with the way their powers matched. he has been at least been able to be there to give nadir the guidance that he needed even if he hadn’t necessarily been able to protect him from everything.
“it would seem neither am i,” he joked with grin, pulling the other into an embrace, careful to let go when he did. “ah yes but i am also the old man who has no idea what you kids do for fun around here,” he would never want nadir to feel uncomfortable and thus would have much preferred it to be an agreement between the two of them. “how about food, that’s pretty neutral right?”
