first salvation ✝ video.

[ So there's this girl chilling out on some rock outside right now. She ventured out a little to try to get an idea of where she is, but... ]

As unlikely as this is, I have to ask- Did I timeslide in my sleep? [ She looks around warily at the landscape. She looks a little confused, but mostly annoyed as she addresses the video again. ] Not that I can without a time device of some sort, but this looks like the places I grew up in.

[ A pause. ]

Or did Bete Noire get a remodel while I was away? [ Because that's the only other option here really.

Behind her a large dog pops up to nuzzle at her, making her nearly fall and drop the communicator as she tries to shove it off a bit. Just enough so that she doesn't fall before she's reaching out to hug the big ball of fur. ] I'm leaning towards nuclear apocalypse in Bete Noire that somehow The Dog survived right now.

Anyone want to give me the real details? Thanks.

[ Oh? Pinged again. ]

But is it true?

Why would you think it was? That's pretty impossible, right? Someone being faster than a bullet.

[Oh, good, locked. He probably should've remembered to do that sooner.]

[ She didn't realize he was going to go this direction or she would have! ]

Not really. I've seen people who can do it. It wouldn't surprise me.

[He hadn't known he was going in this direction, himself. But there was the opening there to brag. And get some information.]

Really? You still consider someone who can do that human?

[Doesn't hurt to ask. Mutants haven't been out of the closet long, in his world.]

What does it matter if they're human or not? The fact is they're still a person.

Not everyone's so open-minded. Being a mutant isn't exactly a good thing, where I'm from. Not that that bothers me.

So you are a mutant.

It's the same where I'm from.

Same everywhere there are mutants, from what I can tell. That's no surprise. But anyway, yeah. I'm that fast. How about you?

[Because he found it hard to believe that someone so open about mutants wasn't one, themselves.]

[ WAIT WAIT WAIT. She only knows of two fast mutants, and only one with silver hair. And after what Erik just told her....]

Are you Pietro?!

I'm a power mimic. Not like Rogue's, though.

What? I, uh, well...

[Pietro, speechless. That's a new one. Being recognized by a stranger is a lot weirder when you suddenly have to worry whether they know some other version of you.]

Yeah. Yeah, that's me. How do you know? You didn't mimic a psychic or something, did you?

I know of another you. One who's.... a lot older.

I also know a different version of your dad. From the Erik here, and the one I'm sure is from your world.

Oh, hell! You know about that, too?!

[He runs a hand down his face. Dammit, even the Toad here doesn't know his relation to Erik.]

Goddammit. You got anything else you wanna tell me, huh? Know any more secrets?

Your sister wiped out 98% of mutantkind and then I was born a year later as the first mutant and made the messiah of our kind.

That's the end of the secrets part.

Oh wait. I may have accidentally outed you to Erik.

What? Wanda? You're seriously saying she- wait wait, that one doesn't surprise me much. You're from the future?

[What? He's well aware his sister isn't right in the head and freakishly powerful.]

You did what?!

[Pietro's voice raises a few octaves, like it usually does when he's freaking out.]

He knows? Great! Just great! Why don't you just announce it to the whole freaking network?!

Pretty much. I've never met anyone further into the future than me.

[ OW her ears are bleeding now okay!! And The Dog is whining. ]

Why doesn't he already know?! That's kind of a big fucking thing!

Why? WHY?! Because maybe, just maybe, I'm sick of doing his dirty work! Maybe I don't want to jump every time he says! Maybe I had a chance to not be his pawn for a little while, and I took it! And it's none of your damn business, anyway!

[Though it was a little late to claim that after his little outburst just now. He's waving his arms and practically shouting into the phone.]

Oh fucking shit! [ She so hasn't cussed in ages cause Nathan would kill her but today is a special occasion. ]

Your family is more fucked over than mine, I can't keep up with who's doing what anymore!

If he does try to control you, though, call me. I'll set him straight.

No. Nononononono. I think you've "helped" enough.

[He's gone very cold, ironically looking much more like his father than usual. Then, like his father, he ragequits and disconnects.]
