Mmhm. I'm shaking in my boots.

And they are nice boots, can I just say that?

[mutants]

You can! It won't lure me into a false sense of security though.

[notmarieanymore]

That ain't what I want. Look- there's no need to be hostile, sugar, I'm one of you.

[mutants]

I'm usually the one going to people. Like "us." [ Lorna isn't convinced but it will prove itself in time. ]

[notmarieanymore]

You're gonna have to trust me on this one.

I'm with the X-Men.

[mutants]

[ She laughs once. It's absurd whether it's true or not. ] Lucky me!

[notmarieanymore]

Look- Lorna- can I call you that? My name's Rogue. Like I said, I'm with the X-men. And we've heard about the things you've been doing.

[mutants]

Hi, Rogue. My name's Polaris. [ "Lorna" won't fly yet. She crosses her arms and does another quick take of their surroundings; it seems to be just the two of them still. ] Why don't you tell me what it is I've been doing.

[notmarieanymore]

From what I can gather? You've been doing pretty damn amazing, working hard to protect people like us from the people that want to hurt us.

I think we could really accomplish a lot together.

[mutants]

And what exactly are you bringing to the table? You guys haven't exactly been competing with the Underground for headlines lately.

[notmarieanymore]

Well, money for one. Our resources. Training facilities, medical care, a safe environment.

[As much as they could really offer in these times.]

I know we went underground for a while, but we're back and stronger than ever. And we want ya'll at our side.

just call me cloak

[prance]

That act usually work on them? Or do you just end up in plastic wrap?

:O🔪

[mutants]

You're right. Next time I should just sign myself up.

:3c

[prance]

Better yet, why not go ahead and piss them off, make a bunch of videos with your face on them?

[mutants]

Only if I can talk a family member into it. Tips?

[prance]

Don’t be so embarrassing?

[ insert shit eating grin here. ]

Wanda’s not easily convinced.

[mutants]

You must have been able to put a pretty good spin on HYDRA then.

ur bro is a petulant asshole polaris

[prance]

You honestly think it was about them? HYDRA gave us this so we could fight who mattered.

[ which ended up being them in the end, don’t @ him ]

insert getalong shirt

[mutants]

Right, Stark. Or the Avengers. Orrr RoboStark.

Kind of a moving target.

~Oi, I'm not the one standing in the middle of the bloody aisle blocking access to the new releases, now am I? Shove over, I said. Some of us are 'ere to buy records, not stand about posing fer a Killstar advert.~
