Video, after the verdict becomes public

[bruiserprincess]

[Molly's been keeping to herself/her little circle of mutants as much as possible for the past week. She really didn't enjoy having to talk to that person from the sheriff's office. Not that the person had likely enjoyed the experience any more than she had.

But at least it seemed like it was over.]

Can we all just stop talking about it now?

Comments

[did_i_say_percy]

If that's what you want.

[bruiserprincess]

Well that's a first.

[did_i_say_percy]

There isn't any point dwelling on it, if you don't want to do that.

I'm glad to be speaking to the real you this time.

[bruiserprincess]

Me too. That other me was stupid.

[did_i_say_percy]

I wouldn't say that. She wanted to help people.

[bruiserprincess]

But she didn't think anything through. Didn't know her limits. Or to bring backup.

[did_i_say_percy]

I don't know if I would have been any smarter in her place. You have a good heart, no matter what you call yourself. [He really does have only experience with Molly's other self, brief at that, but these worries, he feels, would only come from a good child. Plus, she's a child! He seldom thinks ill of them.]

[bruiserprincess]

That's only part of it though. It's not just about helping people, it's about not creating a bigger problem too. I shouldn't have gone alone. Especially when I know I can only last so long.

[Had Wolverine just... never let her find that out, in that other life?]

[did_i_say_percy]

Please don't be so hard on yourself. You now have a chance to learn from a mistake.

[Audio]

[catchingflies]

What if we wanna keep talkin' about it?

[He's just being a brat, Molly, feel free to ignore him. He hasn't really even been talking about it much, period, though he does tease Kurt some still for being a jerk before.]

[Audio]

[bruiserprincess]

Not funny, Todd.

[She is so not in the mood.]

[Audio]

[catchingflies]

What? Geez, a guy can't even joke anymore? I mean, it ain't like we were talkin' about it much before, right?

[Poke poke poke.]

... what're we supposed to not be talkin' about exactly, anyway?

[Audio]

[bruiserprincess]

You know. The big, bad thing that just happened. Plenty of people wanted me to talk about it.

[Audio]

[catchingflies]

See, far's I can tell, a few big, bad things just happened, though I guess yours was kinda worse than most everybody's. 'Cept maybe Pietro's.

[Since he still isn't back from the ship-regen yet. Todd might be a little worried about him, and though he hasn't said anything, it's probably not that hard to guess. Todd is not subtle about things he feels.]

[Audio]- Private

[bruiserprincess]

Yeah... Pietro.

[She clicks the feed over to private. She suspects some of the grownups wouldn't like this idea]

I have an idea for avoiding it, next time.

[catchingflies]

[Private channel, fancy! He's curious, now.]

Yeah? What's that? Better not involve throwin' me at the bad guy, first.

[Hey, he's used to the Brotherhood kids. And he's sort of joking, anyway.]

[bruiserprincess]

Why would...

[Seriously Todd that's what robot dinosaurs are for, not people.]

I keep... dying. Because I run out of time.

[video]

[girlworthfighting]

It sounds like a good plan to me.

[video]

[bruiserprincess]

Nothing's going to change it.

[video]

[girlworthfighting]

For the better or the worse, I suspect.

Have many people been bothering you?

Re: [video]

[bruiserprincess]

People from the sheriff's office kept asking questions.

[She hadn't put any of them through a wall. But she had wanted to.]

[video]

[girlworthfighting]

I'm sorry. [She hesitates before adding this next part.] The Sheriff's office suspended any of us that were from the ship, after Luke. We had to be put through tests and "approved" in order to return to work again.

[video]

[bruiserprincess]

[She'd missed all that, since she was busy being dead at the time]

Everything was so weird.

[video]

[girlworthfighting]

Do you mean during all the time distortions, or something else?

[video]

[bruiserprincess]

When everyone was acting all weird. I know I was too.
