"God I love your father!" Bishop said to Lazuli after Nightcrawler had taken Logan's beer and did his speech.
"It's been a long while since all of us have been together like this and celebrate us a team and a community with lot's of connections
and history. I am feeling very thankful right now."

Post by Fantomex on May 7, 2021 10:09:59 GMT
Fantomex put his feet down from the table and sat up and looked at the pictures on JJ’s phone.
“Sorry for your loss that must be hard but Gordie looks like a good companion.” He took a drink and slumped over the table over his food.
“Well I was in the astral plane and gave the Professor my body so he could escape from the Shadow King and back to the world of the living
and I had a whole thing where I had to retake a cloned body of mine running around. A long complicated story but that is the basics. I am glad
you made it back it has been a long time. I seem to forget how long it has been as time has become a blur once you grew up in a WORLD Dome.” "And damn, man, your life has not stopped one second! Bravo!" JJ said as she got up from her chair and clapped her hands, bowing to Fantomex before sitting down again. "I am freaking impressed. You make me look too damned slow!"
JJ looked at the bowl before her and thought for a hot minute about home. New Orleans was her home, along with her sister Lu, back when JJ was a kid. But after the tantalizing smell of gumbo and a few memories of Mardi Gras and breaking curfews set by their mom, NOLA was not always the best place for JJ to return to--physically or mentally. But Gambit's gumbo always took her back home, to the days before she caused the death of her low-life dad. Lu's dad was a great guy, and while their mom would not have had JJ without their divorce, JJ always knew Lu got the better end of the paternal sweepstakes. JJ's dad was an abuser and an all-out loser, but she still wished he hadn't died. Prison for the old bastard would have been her choice, but manifesting powers don't always discriminate and usually cause no end of trauma in the wrong circumstances.
"How long have I been gone?" JJ said as she poked at her food for a minute. "Years? I sort of lost track of things..." JJ said as she looked back toward the bottle on the table. "Part of that time I self medicated. Without a really big reason not to drown my supposed sorrows, I sort of got messed up on and off while I was away. The hilarious part is that I was actually sober most of the time. I'm not an alcoholic. I'm an adrenaline junkie. I kept getting into fights in bars. Bigoted asshats. Part of that was losing Redemption. You are right on that one. Gordie keeps me in check. And the lady shrink that just joined the team wants me to stop by. Wheee. I'm thrilled. Maybe actually being around people I like more will help. I don't need a babysitter or a sober coach. I just need to matter to the greater cause, I guess. And I need to get the hell out of my own stupid head."
JJ had not been this "real" around anyone in ages. It felt damned good.
She took a glass of water that was sitting nearby, giving the liquor a nudge down the table a bit. "Thanks for actually giving a damn, Fantomex."
OOC: App will be going up soon for a team psychiatrist (empathic, not telepathic, PB Cyndi Lauper)--K
beautiful." Fantomex said as his carefree attitude shifted to being serious and then he slid back into his seat and took another drink and popped a couple
of grapes into his mouth before he spoke again.
"JJ life has been way to fast so all this right now is exactly what I need. So beautiful instead of staying in a tent tonight you and your sister or anyone
you like would like to sleep inside EVA you are welcome too. I am sure EVA would like to see you again like old times. Right now she is asleep in my
coat pocket." |

“It is really good to see you again old friend.” Ghost responded back to Sunfire.
“I finally took Logan’s invitation to join the X-Men and found myself wishing that I did much earlier in my life. It took me a long time recover from
my loses. I ended up finding new purpose and love again.” Genn reached to his side and took a hold of Storm’s hand. He looked over to see a smile
and a look of pure content with a warmth in her eyes that made him feel complete.
“I am where I belong.”
so happy together.. I agree you are where you belong my friend.. And I am really happy to be here with
all of you.. I am opened to whatever the Professor has to say tomorrow.. For me right now it's just being
around and celebrating with old friends.."
much discipline over my actions until now. I have learned a lot from my mistakes." Yuna quickly threw up her hand towards Sunfire to silence him as
she knew what he was going to say.
"I don't want to hear from you Shiro about Kenuichio's influence over me growing up!" |

Dylan raised his hands up. "Whoa ladies. First of all, I did not admit anything. Secondly, not a single feather was harmed on those cute birds." The problem solver let out a breath. "Since I brought it up, I might as well tell the tale. There was this local FOH leader who had a habit of tar and feathering mutants because he wanted people to see them as the freaks he felt they were."
A devilish grin crawled across his features. "Someone tracked him down during a trip he made to the zoo and covered him from head to toe with fish guts. The fool was so grossed out, that he stumbled backwards and tripped over the rail that blocked off the penguin habitat."
Seeing that he completely had his listeners attention, he leaned in close. "Penguins can be quite aggressive during mating season. By the time he was found in the morning, he was the real freak. Word has it that he still jumps every time he hears wings flap."
Dylan suddenly changed his expression to look as innocent as the Pope. "Somehow, he got the idea I was involved and told the fuzz. Needless to say, I was cleared of all charges."
Eager to change the subject, he turned to Dazzler. "Do you know any Reba?"
it’s just a no go for me!. Dazzler should do some Lady Gaga something really weird and strange!.
Not that she is weird or strange.. Well all of us our weird and strange on some level.. I think weird
and strange is good.. All the best people like myself is weird and strange..
“I think you stay away from all the pop music and do something old and classic like Fleetwood Mac
song.. You can not go wrong with Fleetwood Mac.. But I have a warning for you Alison.. If you do a
Kanye West song I will shoot you in the face!.”
"I do not know any Reba songs to sing but I have met her a couple of times and she was really nice to me in the green room. I used
to watch her show a lot when I was on the road." |

With a puff of black smoke Jett was beside Citian as he had inherited the same darkforce powers
as his cousin Saber..
"Hello Aunt Scarlet.. May I ask you a question about age?.. If a person is fourteen years of age
and wants to date someone who is seventeen.. Do you think that is a problem?""Pixie is not going to date you for the last time!" Spouted Citian..
"Patience young Padawan," she teased as she came up to the small knot of people holding a cold glass bottled soda. She didn't have much of a taste for alcohol. "Besides you never know, you might meet the person you're supposed to be with in the middle of a battle on the opposite side of fight." |

“The lab is my sanctuary and science is my mistress.. So don’t feel sorry for this old git.. I get
out and get into a lot more trouble then you know.. I just keep my affairs private.. You younger
blokes have to have your business in everyone's faces.. But I am glad to be here and yes we need
more time as a family..”
Elizabeth tilted her head to the side as she listened to Bradley claim that he liked to keep his affairs private. The smartass in her wanted to chime in about Atlantean wine and private booths; but thought better about it. She didn't quite catch the snicker that escaped her. |

Aisling had settled herself down near the dome's wall, far enough away from the gathering to be considered still part of the celebrations going on, but not be in the thick of things. She wasn't much of a people person, much of it coming from her time in the orphanage.
Between her hands she held a small orange ball made of flames, she was tossing it from hand to hand. Boredom was starting to set in. And with the boredom came the desire to set something alight. She'd had to promise not to set anything on fire if she wanted to stay at the school.

There's so much going on, it just seems like.. too much." The young man that spoke had blond hair and an awkward smile. "I'm Liam. I don't think I've seen you around the school." He said, holding out a hand for her to shake. |

As she twisted her thumb ring on her left hand, JJ thought back for a minute to all the "stuff" that had sent her running in the first place. If Fantomex could slow down, maybe she should, too? Maybe this big announcement would be the icing on a cake that, for once, looked to be baking nicely.
Then she thought back to the fact Fantomex said he trusted her. Beyond Lu and Hollywood, not too many people had ever said that to her. "And about the trust thing, I'm glad you feel you can trust me. People probably think I'm crazy, but you always saw past that. I appreciate that. A lot. And I trust you with my life. Will until the day I have my expy date punched, and I hope that is a million years from now!"
JJ grabbed a handful of the grapes and popped one in her mouth. "OK, these are amazing! Now to the tough stuff. You on a team at the moment? Or is that something they plan to discuss tomorrow? Wherever you land, maybe I can tag along?"

"Nephew, I would not ask me anything about dating!" Scarlett nearly yelped as she looked between Jett and Pixie. "And in a family where age really doesn't matter," she said as she pointed back toward Kari and Nathan, "well, just make sure you don't push too damned hard and respect the person if they say no. Anything less? Not cool."
Scarlett smiled when Rysta came over. "And now I officially get to meet you," she said as she extended her hand to her sister-in-law. "Not sure if you are a hugger or not, so I figured this works for now. I really suck at this interpersonal stuff."
As she stood there, Scarlett was really feeling the old insecurity issues welling up inside her. Yes, she was a Summers. Yes, she was a MacFeorais. No, that did not always make you feel at home, especially among the X-Men.
"I'm just glad I'm here now, whatever happens," she said as she smiled at the group, wondering to herself how the heck Jett was old enough to date in the first place.

Scarlett our family is complicated but we always seem to find our way. "My mother is the daughter of a cosmic entity for goodness sake and I help govern a society that the world once thought something of fiction. " Our lives are complicated but the strength of family is always there....No matter how much of a black sheep you feel." Crystal said putting a hand gently on Scarletts shoulder. |

Michelle listened to her half sisters announcement and part of her was excited but part of her still had questions. She reached out to the various members of her family in mental communication anxious to get their thoughts on the matter at hand.
("I think it was a wise choice to put Elda in that position but it's not her father I'm concerned about....Its her half brother's..I know Thor will respect his father's wishes...But Loki has me concerned...And then there's Hela....")

said as Rysta had showed up..
“I am glad that your feeling better and can join us.” Citian said as he then looked over at Jett..
“And you my son need to respect Pixie.. She has told you that she was way much too old for you..”
Jett just made a grumbling sound and gave his mother a hug and then sat down at the table. |

on the present moment and not get lost in his head with all the ways he could turn Krakoa grapes into wine..
The many possibilities of flavors and so much more.. He already made medicines from many of the plants from
the living island.. It was at that moment he found himself lost in his head again..
“What was I saying?.. Oh Bloody Hell I was lost in my head again.. I was just thinking what kind of wine I can make
from.. Oh I don’t think I can really talk about that yet.. Oh I think I that I did it again.. Must stay focus on the present..”
