What I'm saying is getting involved would be a bad idea and possibly either get is killed or in serious trouble at the school.

[ Charlie how are they on the same level of bad. ]

I'm not saying we shouldn't get involved.

[ Charlie wants to get involved just as much as Negasonic does. ]

So you're just doing the "voice of reason" thing so if we get in trouble later you can say you tried to talk us out of it.

We can go wth that. Sure.

[ Whatever works. ]

Guess that makes you the 'designated adult'. Cool.

[The smirk should not look so pleased. But it does anyway. Yay passing off responsibilities!]

Let's go break stuff.

'Designated Adult' isn't a term I ever thought anyone'd use on me.

But, yeah. Let's rock and roll.

[ She's following your lead, Negasonic. Why you made her the designated adult, she'll never know. ]

Well today's your lucky day.

[Because she's not allowed to be...?

Plus, responsibility sucks.]

What are the odds of everything in the garage having a tracker in it, you think?

That depends on whether or not that technopath with a car obsession is here or not. I'm pretty sure he went to Valley Forge with some of the others.

If he's gone we should be okay.

Look, maybe when you're a Negasonic Young Adult Warhead.

...are you seriously playing that card right now?

[So. Unimpressed.]

Well I can't play the "you're a danger to yourself and others" card. You clearly have your shit together, mutation-wise.

Gee thanks, I think. Okay, so why can't I get involved?

Because we're not the X-Men. We do relocation, not recruitment.

What's your point? I can still help.

Okay, you want the grown-up talk?

You're an instant propaganda target for the anti-Underground a-holes in Sentinel Services. If I can play up the age angle, believe me, they'll take it and run. "Child Soldier with an A-Bomb" makes one hell of a poster.

[She huffs in annoyance, although at least she resists the solid urge to roll her eyes. She can see the problem, even if she doesn't like it.]

You say that like I'm new to those kinds of assholes. I was born in Genosha, I was fed the "humans good, mutants evil" bullshit since I could walk. So what, you just want me to sit on the sidelines and watch because you're worried about some PR nightmare?

~No, I'm saying wait fer me to get me bloody jacket on. Christ.~

It's not my fault you're so slow.

~Old age. It'll happen to you, one day. Right. Motorcycles. Let's go.

...you can drive, yeah?~
