Video: Quicksilver Delivery Service

[Pietro is leaning back in a chair, communicator clearly propped on a table or something to shoot the video.]

So, now that I'm back and everything's all... civilized again, I thought I'd give this going legit thing a try. You know. For the laughs.

To make this simple, I'm the fastest guy around. You need something delivered? I'm who you want. I can get things where they need to be faster than anything this place offers, and more... heh, shall we say discreetly, too?

I'm easy to find. Through the Network or here. I live with Wagner and Tolansky. My rates are flexible. We'll talk.

That you claim more than you've demonstrated isn't an assumption.

Whatever. Let me be blunt. I can get around the city - and almost anywhere else, for that matter - faster than any vehicle I've seen around since I woke up. That sounds useful enough to you to take the "risk" [He actually uses air quotes] of trying out my services? We'll work something out. If you're wasting my time, I'm done here.

Molly, huh? My boys been playing nice? We were trying to keep tabs on the other mutants, a while back. As much as we could. Doesn't seem to be anything that can stop them if they, uh, go back to the ship. Hell, I don't even remember how it happened to me.

...you know, I can stop believing in you again if you keep saying stupid shit like that.

You could if I was making it up. Good thing I'm not.

Kurt checked on us all when Todd was back in the pods, so I think he still is trying to keep up with everyone.

[He's pouting. Can you hear him pouting, Pietro?]

I just wanna keep my job, that's all, and I know you and yer gettin' into everything. Doin' better than everybody else at it and stuff.

Sorta. He's from where I'm from. We're on the same team. He's supposed to be the leader, cuz his dad said he was, but he does bum job at it.

[There's a little nastiness there, sure, but a little actual truth. Sorry, Pietro.]

Of course it's the X-geek. Good to know, I guess. You got somewhere you're staying? [It'd be weird to have a kid living with them, but he was going to offer anyhow] I guess it's less of a problem now than back when everything was apocalyptic.

I don't even celebrate Easter, Frosty. I've never believed in the Easter Bunny.

Like I want your lameo job, Tolansky. I'll take care of whatever you can't handle.

Well, that's up to you, I guess. But, I mean, you clearly know I'm real. Why would I make up the Easter Bunny? He's much more popular than I am.

Whatever.

[His job isn't lame. And you've hurt his feelings, now. ... maybe they're even, right? He'll hang up now, if Pietro doesn't have more to say.]

I've been staying at the Flop.

[It's not the greatest. But she hasn't had a lot of other options come up.]

Huh. Does it still look like an earthquake hit it? Because it did before, trust me.

Dude, I know someone who can turn himself into an ice statue. You're not that far-fetched, even if you have that little selective visibility problem. Cutesy bunnies that hide eggs and chocolate? Please.

[He snorted.]

If only he were some cutesy bunny. No, Bunnymund's like, six feet tall and can knock you around with egg bombs and boomerangs. He's not someone you wanna mess with.

[Unless you're Jack Frost. Although, he can be some cutesy bunny without believers but he'll give the guy some slack and not mention that.]

But he does hide eggs and chocolate. Makes 'em all himself, it's a really cool process to see, actually. Don't go knocking the holiday though, even if you don't believe in it. It means a lot to him and to the kids he brings the eggs to.

Riiiight, boomerangs. [Pietro nods sagely, eyes comically wide.] You know, they have medication for that sort of thing.

I'm not making it up! [He rolled his eyes.] Why would I make something like this up?

Uh... because you're demented? Seriously, Frostbite. That's just dumb.

[Well, that was just mean.]

Yeah? Prove that I'm not making it up. Prove that in the world where I come from, the things you don't believe in aren't real. Because in my world, you don't exist. X-Genes don't happen. So, how can you assume that I'm just making things up and that I'm crazy.

After all, some part of you realized I was real or you wouldn't see me right now.

Uh-huh. You're a magic kid with ice powers, so what? It's not like there aren't other people here like that. [And if he believes more than he lets on, that's none of Jack's business.]

But the Easter Bunny? That's kid's stuff. And even if I wasn't Jewish, I haven't been a kid in a long time.

I never said you had the believe in him. You're not a kid, so he nor I would expect you to believe in him. We depend on kids to believe in us, not you. But that doesn't mean you should be calling me demented for telling you that something does exist on my world.

And you're kind of proving why we don't.

[He just sort of needed more believers here and while the kids were great here, being invisible to most and talking through text really made things somewhat awkward.]

Also, the Easter Bunny isn't Christian. He's been around since before that, so your religion wouldn't matter to him.

I'm obviously more than just some magic kid with ice powers to you. Other people know that about me, but they still can't see me because to them, I'm nothing more.

This might come as a surprise, but I'm not a nice guy. And I don't care what the Easter Bunny is or isn't. It's just another stupid lie people tell kids to make them behave, and you're not changing my mind.

[Stubborn? Why would anyone think that?]

He's not a lie!
