[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.]

Your team, your rules. But only when they aren't detrimental to the safety of the mutants here.

Nightcrawler joins, or I'm stepping in.

[Yeah, this was familiar. Pietro mostly looks disappointed, and not at all surprised.]

What, so you're gonna force him if I don't? Yeah, great way to make a good impression. Real positive role model.

Look, one thing I know about all of Xavier's little peacemongers is that they're stubborn. He's not going to suddenly start not hating me just because hey we're on this freaky new planet and some guy who's Magneto except not is telling us all to get along or else!

[Run-on sentences. They're what happens when he gets fed up with punctuation.]

Chill. Let Hope talk to him, or even Toad, since he's got bad enough taste to like them better than me. But if he doesn't want to join, I'm not-

[-sending him to a looney bin, is what he types first, but thankfully he catches himself and changes the sentence before he hits send]

I'm not going to tie him up in my room just to make sure he's "safe."

[lehnsherr]

I never said anything about forcing him to join. But there's a distinct difference between letting him join and welcoming him. If you can rein your ego in long enough, I'm expecting the latter from you. If not, that is when I will step in.

Don't let your personal feelings interfere in this. His safety matters just as much as the rest of your team.

Fine! Fine, just let me do my thing.

But I'm drawing the line if Specs or Daniels shows up, got it? Don't want anything to do with them!

[Not that Scott would sully himself by being anything other than the leader of whatever team he wound up on, anyway.]

[lehnsherr]

"Specs or Daniels"?

[cantcatchme]

Specs. Cyclops. Scott Summers. Y'know, Hope's granddaddy?

[Apparently, anyhow]

He's Xavier's pet student, and a real jerk. I'm not working with him, and there's no way he's working with me. He can't even cope with Avalanche.

And Daniels - Evan Daniels, Spyke, Storm's nephew - he's just a brat. I don't need him getting in my way.
