( quit being such a dad, scott. although, that makes him think. )

kurt told me about what happened with the avengers and hope. about how they don't always listen to us mutants. i'm sorry they did that.

[notrosecolored]

You don't need to apologize for them.

[overconfidently]

i'm not. i'm sorry i didn't listen to you before.

[notrosecolored]

Oh.

Well.

Kurt's better at explaining things.

And more objective.

[overconfidently]

i've dealt with them a little back home. i was saying to kurt that i noticed both the ones back home and the ones here have a sort of superiority about them. so i can see why you might be concerned.

[notrosecolored]

It isn't really the arrogance, it's the... privilege of their position, and their complete lack of awareness of it.

But yeah, superiority is a pretty good way of putting it.

[overconfidently]

yeah. kurt told me that. how the ones back home have turned their backs on us at times. on mutants, i mean. how they're loved while we're feared even though we protect people just as much. it hurts.

[notrosecolored]

Yeah.

[overconfidently]

anyways. i'm sorry. you did what you did to protect your family and mutants. i would have done the same.

[notrosecolored]

I know yo would.

( he always thinks back to scott's reaction more to steve here becoming a dominant than being contracted to him. how he'd been all "of course he gets whatever he wants" about it, in a sense. he hadn't been able to see or understand what he meant by that back then, aside from taking it as being petty, but. he sees now. )

you're ok with peter though?

[notrosecolored]

[ If only scott would explain himself, ever. ]

I LIKE peter.

[overconfidently]

well good. cause he's my friend. both here and back home.

[notrosecolored]

I'm glad, especially since he stopped you from breaking your neck.

[overconfidently]

yeah. i asked him to be with me for that reason. in case it didn't work. the older one that's a dominant, i mean. there's a younger one here that's a submissive as well. i don't really talk to that one much though.

( look at him planning ahead with having pete there, dad. )

[notrosecolored]

Oh well then I guess I'll relax some about the stunt being stupid. I didn't even know there were two here.

[overconfidently]

( it wasn't stupid, dad. it was science!! )

i told you i WASN'T trying to kill myself. but yeah. there are. considering the stuff that happens at home though, it's not even surprising.

[notrosecolored]

Yeah. Home sets a... very low bar for a lot of things.

[overconfidently]

i'll say. just look at me and cable.

[notrosecolored]

meaning what?

[overconfidently]

we're the same but different. different versions of ourselves.

[notrosecolored]

Oh. Yes.

[overconfidently]

he's old and grumpy and i'm young and powerful.

( child. )

[notrosecolored]

Both of those things are true. Ish.

[overconfidently]

it's ok to say it. i won't tell him.
