[Pietro's wearing a new grey, blue, and white uniform and trying to look authoritative and/or menacing.]

Just so we're all on the same page here...

From now on, anyone who messes with Toad or Hope is also messing with me. And I don't plan on letting anyone off lightly.

The annoying blue muppet's on his own, though. If he's even figured out how to work these things yet.

[Locked to Toad and Hope]

You two, get over here. We need to talk.

[He moves the camera to show that he's in a small, empty building, then shows them the view from the window. It's not far from the Flop.]

Comments

[thefuzzyguy]

[Yeah, no visuals on the network. He's decided.]

Ja, say hi to them if you see them before I do.

[And now for a Kurt Wagner attempt at sarcasm.]

Since everyone's so scared the guy who runs fast. When there are giant robots and aliens around.

[He's not actually very good at it.]

Re: [Audio]

[cantcatchme]

Do I need to remind you about dress-up? Because... heh, I can certainly beat you in a fair fight, so don't throw stones 'Wild Blue Yonder Boy.'

[Yes, he'd overheard Tabitha's nickname for Kurt at some point. And he hadn't even had to spy - it wasn't like the walls of the boarding house were that thin]

[Audio]

[thefuzzyguy]

[Chicks dig the fuzzy dude.]

I never fight fair.

And, by the way, you guys have been working with us for a while last I checked. Meaning I'm from your future. Meaning don't cross the Blue guy when he knows more than you do.

[PRIVATE]

[cantcatchme]

And yet you still can't beat me? Man, that's just sad.

Whoa now, even in the future, no way are we gonna team up with you jerks. So don't even try to fuck with me about that. I'm smarter than Toad, y'know.

voice.

[messiahed]

[ oh lord help us all. ]

Be nice to Kurt.


I'm on my way.

Re: voice.

[cantcatchme]

I'll be nice to him if he's nice to me. It's not like we started all the fights, back home. Him and his buddies are all jerks. Especially Evans and Summers.

[Why, no, he doesn't know what Hope's last name is.]

voice.

[messiahed]

[ Pause. Wait why didn't she think of this... ]

Scott Summers? Or Alex?

Re: voice.

[cantcatchme]

Glasses.

I mean, Scott. His brother ran off back to Hawaii after the whole Meteor M debacle. Didn't seem like he had nearly the stick up his ass Cyclops has.

Still, you should see him and Lance go at it. Hysterical, if you don't have to be in the middle of it.

[Not that he misses Avalanche or anything. He doesn't need the Brotherhood, after all. He can take care of himself.]

[catchingflies]

[Todd is not impressed. He's not looking forward to getting yelled at again. Nor is he impressed with the costume.]

What? Green too good for ya now?

[But he'll show up. Soonish. Once he's done with the jibe.]

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

Pff, you know how hard it is to get decent fabric around here, Tolansky? I did what I could.

Now you coming or what?

[Video => Action?]

[catchingflies]

Yeah, yeah. I'll be there.

[And he shuts that off, pocketing the phone, before making his hoppy way that direction. He winds up being a little late, since, well, he checks a couple buildings first that aren't the right ones.]

Re: [Video => Action?] And Hope can be here, too!

[cantcatchme]

[Pietro is, as usual, impatient when Toad arrives, leaning against a wall and drumming his fingers on his arm.]

Gee, took you long enough. This is kinda important.

[Video]

[weapabilities]

Ah-

You're friends with Toa- er. Tolansky?

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

Toad? I guess you could say that. He's from where I am, and he's on my team, so I'll be protecting him.

[He squints at the screen. Even if he was tipsy when he met, he knows that's not Wing]

How many of you are there?

[Video]

[weapabilities]

Team? Oh, uh. Okay.

[He squints back before brightening at the question.]

Of me? Just the one!

[Excuse his derp.]

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

[Mutants - well, superhumans in general - are kind of big on teams. It's how Pietro was brought up. He doesn't find it particularly odd.]

Noooo, no. I've definitely seen another giant robot walking around. You don't forget that sort of thing.

permatext; locked to teen-mutants

[lehnsherr]

Nightcrawler too.

Re: permatext; locked to teen-mutants

[cantcatchme]

What? No no nonono. Tht wa't prt of teh deeal!

[Pietro's communicator holds up to his super-speedy typing better than most would, but it still can't keep up when he gets worked up.]

[lehnsherr]

[slow down pietro >|]

It is now.

threadjack!!

[messiahed]

Good.

[lehnsherr]

Should I feign surprise at your approval?

Re: threadjack!!

[cantcatchme]

Don't encourage him.

Re: permatext; locked to teen-mutants

[thefuzzyguy]

[Two fuzzy fingers aren't good for this application, but he has a pretty simple point to get across.]

no

[messiahed]

Kurt.

Please?

[lehnsherr]

I'm not him.
