[ A knock on his head, polite request. ]

[heavymetals]

[ How nice of him. ]

Charles. What is it?

[thetruefocus]

I wanted to let you know that our theory was correct and other mutants have arrived. Logan, but two others, Scott and Rogue. I believe you already know about Raven.

Logan is the one we knew, but the other two have only met the older you.

[heavymetals]

Oh, good. All happy meetings in my near future, then.

Just so he knows ICly!

[thetruefocus]

[ A polite knock on his head and this time Charles comes in without waiting. ]

I'm informing you that Raven is gone, returned to where she is from, no doubt. I've searched everywhere for her and there is no question.

[ Charles is deeply upset about it and already drinking, but there's nothing to be done. ]

[heavymetals]

[ Literally having just gotten his body back to normal days ago— it really seems this place won't let them catch a break.

He could say 'I'm sorry', but it feels like it would be empty of meaning and feeling both, so instead: ]

Do you want me there or would you rather be alone?

[thetruefocus]

Alone, thank you.

[heavymetals]

Alright.

[ It leaves him feeling a little helpless, admittedly, but he understands that sometimes you just need that. ]

Let me know if that changes.

after talking to charles⟢

[carmesi]

you told charles about me.

( ...and because she's not actually upset about it, but figures it won't translate to text properly, she adds: )

i'm not angry about it.

[heavymetals]

We spoke of you, yes.

[ And since she follows that by reassuring him she's not mad, he figures that Charles must have told her at least some of the context of their conversation. ]

I trust Charles implicitly, and there's nothing I would not share with him. Nevertheless, that may have led to me sharing more about you than you might have been comfortable with. I'm sorry.

[carmesi]

i said i'm not angry about it.

( because the apology is unnecessary from him, she thinks. )

he called you a leader in the mutant community.
very important of you.

there are many of you here ?

[heavymetals]

Very well. I still wished to explain.

[ Even if she's not mad about it, something that he's glad for. He did still tell someone when she asked him not to. ]

He's far too generous with that wording. I led a group of us for a brief while, before most of them were hunted down and slaughtered.

A few. There's Charles and I, of course, the others are supposedly from a time in the future. Laura, Scott, Logan, Storm. More that I've not yet met.

[thetruefocus]

[ A knock on his head, but he doesn't wait for permission these days.]

I met John. He told me I have an evil biological sister.

[heavymetals]

[ Just give him a moment here, he needs to digest that information. ]

I'm sorry, what?

[ The emphasis on 'biological' helps, just so Erik knows it's not Raven. ]

[thetruefocus]

A twin sister and apparently depending on the timeline we kill each other in the womb.

[heavymetals]

Of all the things we've seen and heard of, that one sounds particularly outlandish.

Does that mean she's a telepath like yourself?

[valle]

Hi.
Do you wanna go get lunch sometime?

[heavymetals]

Hello, Laura.

Of course, whenever you like. I can move my work around as needed. Do you have a place in mind?

[valle]

I might know a place.
How do you feel about noodles?

text⟢

[carmesi]

can i ask you two questions ?

a minute later

[carmesi]

that one doesn't count.

[heavymetals]

[ He was about to tease her about it, so good thing she adds that disclaimer. ]

Hello, Wanda. Go on.

telepathic knock

[thetruefocus]

I'm going to tell Scott.

[heavymetals]

I should probably prepare myself for the next time we meet, then.

Will you let me know how it goes?

[thetruefocus]

No this is the one thing I'm going to keep from you. [ Sarcasm. Lovingly.]
