Yo. So I've kinda got a question for people who've done this whole [waving a hand] "hero thing" before, or gotten involved in these sorta fights. What do you tell your family 'n all that about - this whole mess? Do ya tell them anything? 'Cause ma came to the big city for New Year's, an' we were talkin' about things... I just wasn't sure what to say.

I don't wanna go scarin' her, or get her involved in this mess. But I don't wanna lie.

Any thoughts?

[Locked to his team:]

And by the way, ma brought a hamper of stuff to share with friends. Shit, you'd think she was trying to make me explode: I've got enough here to keep me goin' for weeks. So... I wanna split this with you guys. You up for it?

Yeah. I kinda didn't even bring that bit up last time. I dunno what she'd have gotten more worried over - us gettin' attacked, or me tryin' to fight 'em back...

I'm not sure mine have gotten over the whole 'asleep for five years' thing that happened yet, I tend to leave out stuff that'll just make it worse.

If they pull me from the school, it'll just mean they get stuck in this mess with me.

[realmenknitplushies]

That's another thing. I've already pulled her into too much crap just by bein' myself...

[anythingwithstrings]

Oh, you were trouble before you got powers?

[realmenknitplushies]

Yes. No. It's ... [ponder, ponder, how to put this] kinda complicated.

[anythingwithstrings]

This is a school for mutants, we're all complicated.

But if you don't wanna talk about it, I get it. I don't like revisiting my complications.

[realmenknitplushies]

Heh. Okay, that's true. I think some people here already know about this crap, but ... yeah, it ain't fun to think about.

[anythingwithstrings]

I mean, if they're still issues, you need someone to talk them out with.

But if you have them handled, past is past. Right?

[realmenknitplushies]

R-right. Past's past.

[He doesn't sound quite so sure, mind.]

[anythingwithstrings]

You need to really sell that you're over it, if you want others to believe it and not pester you.

[realmenknitplushies]

Sell it? It's done! It's gone! Nothin' to sell!
