i want to help people with their nightmares. make them go away.

[notrosecolored]

Jean and Emma are both good at that. Mostly by just... pushing, I think.

[overconfidently]

i tried with wade. he told me he gets nightmares sometimes. so i gave him a sweet dream instead. admittedly i hadn't tried that before but it worked.

[notrosecolored]

That sounds like something he'd appreciate. I'm usually just going for 'loss of consciousness'.... nothing

[overconfidently]

( something something nate learning [more] about his potential with every little thing he does. )

you don't like to dream? not even nice ones?

[notrosecolored]

[ Scott hesitates only slightly, because. Hey, conversation with his son and also he's still low (high) key panicking in the back of his mind. ]

No. File that under lines I draw for having my head messed with.
I don't want a pleasant dream... inserted into my mind.

[overconfidently]

what about pleasant memories? if you needed one, would you want it?

[notrosecolored]

If I needed a pleasant memory for what?

[overconfidently]

i don't know. what if something happened? what if they did something here? what if you got lost within a darkness they subject you to here? needed something bright and good to hold onto? if you needed help finding one.

[notrosecolored]

No. Stick with a sense of purpose and the people who need me. I don't mind telepathy for communication. I don't mind having my mind read in most instances, even deeply. With a subset of people, a good cause or specific circumstance I will share sensation and emotion. I cannot stand my mind being manipulated any more elaborately than 'shut it down'.

[overconfidently]

not even to save you?

[notrosecolored]

You know about Apocalypse. Has anyone mentioned Sinister - Essex - to you?

[overconfidently]

i know who he is. he killed forge. he told me things. i killed him.

[notrosecolored]

I meant the one that exists in the timeline I am from, but I'm going to take that as a no and explain briefly.

He is who raised me from 7 to 16.

[overconfidently]

he's like your father?

[notrosecolored]

Absolutely fucking not.

[overconfidently]

( telepathy or not, he sure felt that. )

what is he then?

[notrosecolored]

A psychotic, sadistic, meglomaniac.

[overconfidently]

sounds like the one i knew. why did he raise you?

[notrosecolored]

You mean why did he raise me or how did he get me? Those are two separate questions.

[overconfidently]

both.

[notrosecolored]

My parents plane got forced out of the sky by the Shi'ar.
They got taken but were presumed dead. I was in a coma for a year. In that time my brother got adopted out.

Sinister 'raised' me because... he's got a Thing for my genetics. Don't ask me why. I don't know and have never known..

[overconfidently]

( the what now? but that part about genetics... he knows that part — he'd been told that himself by that megalomaniac. )

yours and jean's. he told me that.

[notrosecolored]

Mostly mine, here. Possibly for more than one generation, but Jean's too.

[overconfidently]

he told me he made me from your and jean's dna. to make the perfect weapon against apocalypse. does he do that where you're from? is that who my brother is? like me? made in a lab?
