Victor and Evan look at something that is, apparently, horrifying.

’ Is that even legal?’

‘Probably not in the South.’

Something. i.e Quentin.

greenlizardboy:

Good. It’s great to see you.

Likewise.  I do hope my darling Miss Pryde is treating you well. You know you’re always welcome to join us if you’d prefer.

Join you? What’s the X-men up to now? You have a new team?

She is but school is different. People are different. Everything, the feel… I’m not sure if I should be here anymore but I’m not leaving anyone behind. Team sticks together, always. Or what’s left of us.

-Vic sighed and then grabbed a pen from his pocket and scribbled his name and number on the napkin.- Alright then, but if you hear of a Sofia Mantega, or any mutant that needs help, regardless of who they are, send them my way, okay? My name’s Vic. And I miss my friend.

[Sofia takes the napkin and stares at it a little.  She has a mind to throw it away later, but she folds it neatly and puts it in the pocket of her apron anyway.  There’s so much she wishes she could say. About being depowered.  About being a fugutive.  About New York City and everything that she’s been through up until now.  But she reminds herself she’s not Sofia Mantega—not the one that Victor will remember.  That Sofia Mantega should have been in Caracas, Venezuela a long time ago.]  I’ll send them runnin’.  [Tilting her head, she smiles.]  Now, what would you like to order, slim?

I’ll have some french toast and a latte. Thanks… -He watches her carefully and leans back in his seat- So uh, what is your name?

greenlizardboy:

Heh, thanks Megan. Isn’t it? Really weird. What about you? How are you?

Heh, I’ve been well. 

What you been doing? -nudged her and waggled his eyebrows before laughing.-

“They really can’t. Jealous all the way.” Vic grinned back, “It is. You should come check it out. In fact, I’m headed that way now if you wanted to walk with me.”

“Really? Sounds great! I’d love to.” She nodded happily. “If you’re sure you don’t mind. I’ve been thinking of visiting before, but I’ve never actually been able to find it.” Niya admitted. “So, thanks. Yeah, I’d like to walk with you.”

Vic grinned and gestured for her to follow. “So, where you originally from? I have trouble telling accents a part.”

“It’s not your fault.” Vic looked up quickly, “Hey, it’s not your fault. Really. I’m just saying… maybe I’m superficial but physical intimacy…” is important to me. It makes me feel emotionally closer to a person, it’s… something that I want. 

“I want you, Santo. I do. I just… I crave it, it’s something I’ve always wanted, that’s all. It’s who I am. I like hugging. Holding. You know how I am with Megan and that’s just friendship stuff there.” He swallowed, “I’m the one who should be sorry.”

“No, it might not be my fault…but I’m certainly the reason.” Santo frowned, looking to the other. “Out of everything, you’re not at fault here at all. You aren’t the one who’s…who’s a monster.”

“You’re… Santo I fell in love with you. Not your body, not your face, I fell in love with your soul. Doesn’t that say more about you than anything?” 

He stood up and forced Santo to look at him in the face. “You’re not a monster, you’re anything but.”

“That…that sucks, man. That really sucks.”

Brandon’s heart was aching for the guy. It was so unfortunate, what these mutants had to go through. What everyone had to go through was unfortunate—these lost children with no sense of direction, who turn to fighting for others to help them heal. The Academy kids, the mutant kids—everyone has their traumas. The pains, the things that keep them awake in the middle of the night. Some are worse off than others and some are there for completely different reasons than everyone else’s, but in the end, everyone could relate to one another in some way. 

They really weren’t all that different.

Brandon doesn’t exactly know what the he can contribute to this part of their conversation. He’s got some kind of post-traumatic stress thing too, but he doesn’t acknowledge it. Pretends it isn’t there. Shoves it deep down and keeps it quadruple encrypted within him. But Vic—Vic is different from him. He doesn’t have everything locked away; it’s laid out right here on their table in a pizza parlour. 

“You’ll be able to see them again, I know it. Without freaking out or anything. Vic, dude—you’re a strong guy. You’ve been through some tough shit and if there’s one thing you can do, it’s overcome obstacles. You’ll see ‘em again, trust me.”

“Did you ever hear about M-Day? The Sentinels? Do you know some of the real reasons that Avengers and the X-men were so ready to bite each other’s heads off? Or do they not teach you that in the Academy because the Avengers are the superheroes?” He met Brandon’s gaze, ” ‘Cause I could tell you. I could tell you all about what they left us to.”

He kind of just wants to get it out. It’s no use talking to the other X-men. And it’s no use talking to his peers and teammates. Everyone’s in the same boat.

And Vic’s kind of angry, because he’s wondering if the Avengers covered it up, all of it. That these kids that have put their lives into the team’s hands have no idea.

“I’m glad David is okay… and yeah, I’ve said hi to Santo as well. He was very surprised to see me as well, he even hugged me and I just wasn’t expecting that… it was nice. Julian is here? That’s one hell of a reason why I should have listened to my mother. I don’t know if I want to be anywhere where there’s a chance of seeing his face.”

“Look! Laurie, Jlian isn’t… he shouldn’t dictate your life. We always have people we hate, despise, cannot work with, but if we let them be the reason we make certain choices then we’re not living our lives. You have to know that.”

He could feel Santo around him, and while that was comforting, it also reminded him by the hardness of the other that they would possibly never get to be normal. He’d long since accepted his own abnormalities but he couldn’t even kiss the guy he wanted. It sent a pang through him.

“Santo… you don’t have lips, you don’t have junk, we can have emotional intimacy but how are we gonna go on the physical side?”

“Well I mean…” Santo frowned. He knew that Vic was right, he wasn’t sure how this could work out at all, but people had life-long relationships that were at the same time sexless, right? “I’m…” Santo grumbled. “I’m sorry I can’t make this easier…”

“It’s not your fault.” Vic looked up quickly, “Hey, it’s not your fault. Really. I’m just saying… maybe I’m superficial but physical intimacy…” is important to me. It makes me feel emotionally closer to a person, it’s… something that I want. 

“I want you, Santo. I do. I just… I crave it, it’s something I’ve always wanted, that’s all. It’s who I am. I like hugging. Holding. You know how I am with Megan and that’s just friendship stuff there.” He swallowed, “I’m the one who should be sorry.”

Vic reached out and tilted her head up a little. “You haven’t seen or spoken to Josh did you? A part of him died with you that day, and he’s been struggling to stay afloat ever since. Nothing mattered.” He pulled her into a hug, wrapping his arms around her, “Because you’re one of us, Laurie. And you were always special.”

“Santo told me he disappeared after turning Kevin’s powers against him. I can’t track him, I don’t know where he is. And I’ve been meaning to find him just to tell him how sorry I am for making him so angry that night. I’ve always believed quite the opposite because Julian was a complete and utter… idiot.”

“

“Last I heard he was on Genosha, but that was a while ago. I don’t know about now. I hear David’s running around with some old Young Avenger called Speed. Julian’s here but sometimes heads out with Laura… Santo’s here with me, and Megan. And as for Nori… I’m not really sure…” He squeezed her gently, “It’ll work out, I know it will.”
