[Video] Early Saturday

[The screen flickers on to show an annoyed, ruffled, white-haired young man, clearly standing right outside the spaceship. The image is in focus and right-side up, even. Somebody knew what a video phone was. He brushes some hair back into place with quick fingers before speaking, his voice irritated instead of scared or worried.]

What the hell, man? Think you coulda warned me, huh?

[He scowls at the screen - clearly, a reply that's not instantaneous isn't quick enough]

Hellooo, Magneto? Cut the mysterious crap and get with the program! This another one of your tests? What more do I need to prove, huh?

[She heaves a heavy sigh as her hand falls.] I know him the same way Charles does. [More or less. She's still not quite sure which Charles this universe belongs to - if any.]

I always knew we wanted the same things, ultimately, and that we'd employ very different methods in search of it. There are simply some I didn't expect.

Well, now you know to expect them. Not that it makes any difference, because it doesn't look like he's here. Enough said.

[Okay, Magneto? Clearly not this kid's favorite topic, despite supposedly working for him.]

...No. Magneto isn't. [And he won't be, if she can help it.]

You're clearly conflicted about the man. Why follow him?

Because he's good at what he does. You don't have to like someone to work with them.

[He's not saying something.]

But it's really none of your damn business.

[Her lips part for an argument - and then she stops. Considers.] No, I suppose not. I apologise for prying.

[It's tempting, to see exactly what he's holding back. But she holds herself to a higher stander than that. Or she tries, anyway.]

You won't need to follow anyone here, though I wouldn't suggest facing this world alone. It's a dangerous place, even for mutants; perhaps moreso. [One hand absently touches her neck, fingers tracing a line long gone.]

[Of course he was going to do what his father expected of him. He was raised to believe that was his only option.]

How many times do I have to say I can handle myself? I'll be fine. Though that's none of your business, either.

[Jocelyn immediately shakes her head, hand falling out of sight.] That, I'm afraid, I must disagree with.

[She speaks intently, and sincerely.] I don't doubt your capabilities. I'm sure you've been trained well. [That, at least, she has no reason to doubt.] But we're all at a distinct disadvantage. None of us are safe. Not if we don't work together.

Yeah, well, if I feel the sudden urge to get all touchy-feely with you lot, I'll be sure to let you know.

[He rolls his eyes. Nope, he's not taking this well at all.]

[Her tone shifts abruptly, becoming cool and clipped.] This isn't about playing nice, Quicksilver, this is about staying alive.

[...And then her lips curve, just slightly.] We don't need to like each other to work together.

He just sounds annoyed

I'll get back to you.

Because he wants to check out this 'dangerous' place on his own, first.

[Her voice is softer, now.] I appreciate that.

Do try to avoid the Outer Authorities in the meantime.

[Whatever that means]

Yeah, sure. Buh-bye now.

[He's so done here]

[Not even going to ask? She bites back another sigh, and nods. She's not going to force him.

Even if it means he ends up - ]

You'll want to tread carefully in the city, as well. The last attack left certain areas highly unstable.

[Pietro rolls his eyes]

Maybe for an amateur, that'd be a problem.

[Sorry, Xavier, he's hanging up on you now. The brat.]

[KIDS TODAY.

Or, rather, kids tomorrow.

She needs a drink.]
