[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.]

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.]

[ Scott. Of course. She sighs and continues on. ]

Yeah. He is an asshole.

Re: voice.

[cantcatchme]

I take it you've met him, then.

Re: voice.

[messiahed]

The one in my world, though he doesn't sound any better than yours. Probably worse actually.

That and he's my grandfather.

Re: voice.

[cantcatchme]

He's... oh. Man, I don't even want to know how that happened.

You're really from the future, then. I mean... way in the future.

[If Scott was her grandfather... wow, they must have a ways to go before Wanda turns the whole world upside down. And he'd hoped she would get better, eventually.]

I'm going to be real nice to you right now and just give you the 'time travel' answer.

[ Since her dad was technically older than his own father.... ]

Re: voice.

[cantcatchme]

Time travel. That sounds about right. Everything has to be so damn complicated.

[He shakes his head. No way was he ever getting caught up in that stuff, if he could help it.]

When are you from, anyway? Guess I should know if I've got five years or fifty.

[messiahed]

2012. Though I wouldn't say it all goes straight. You could be on an alternate timeline too.

Re: voice.

[cantcatchme]

2012...?

Yeah, yeah we're definitely on a separate timeline. Because even if Wanda took out mutantkind the day I left, that'd make you... nine years old? It's 2002, where I'm from.

[Still, it's something to keep in mind. What could make Wanda do something that drastic, that hadn't already been done to her? He... didn't like the sound of it.]

Re: voice.

[messiahed]

It was 2010 when I was born. Wanda took out mutantkind a year before I was born.

So 2009 was when she did all of that....

Re: voice.

[cantcatchme]

...freaking time travel. I know I'm never messing with that crazy stuff. So you're, like, going backwards or something? Unless you're really two years old, which would be kinda creepy.

Re: voice.

[messiahed]

I went forward to grow up, then I went backwards to live in the present.

They couldn't raise me in the present. Too dangerous.

[ It's kinda fun to confuse him though. ]

Re: voice.

[cantcatchme]

Well, gee, thanks for making my childhood look freaking normal

[He rolls his eyes a little. They're a messed up little group, aren't they?]

Re: voice.

[messiahed]

We're mutants Pietro.

Great childhoods don't come with the package.

Re: voice.

[cantcatchme]

Unless you're Pryde. Or probably half of those goody-two-shoes of Xavier's. They get all the luck.
