Spark 03: Video:

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... sort of did the same thing. Though it was more of five weeks for me to make up my mind and have an opportunity to," [run away from home] "start being a hero. Still a big influence, though.

"But... you don't really have anyone like that in the family? What about a..." [Give her a second to find the right word.] "A role model? Someone you really look up to? Maybe you could explain that you're sort of following in their footsteps, maybe?"
littlewhitelies: (Huuuuurt)

"Oh... sorry. That you had to give that up, I mean. That sounds really nice, actually."

[Jealous? Her? Not really; it's more of pang of sadness that something like that was lost. True, it's a little hard to imagine Kanji doing study sessions or running to classes or all the usual things she imagines when it comes to a normal life; cooking comes a little easier though.]

"Maybe you could... could tell her about it slowly, then? Like write to her and let her know that school is going okay?"

[It IS going okay, right?]

"Yeah; sometimes the neighborhood I was in would get really tense about the whole... 'mutant' thing. I kind of like being here a little more, even if I do miss some of the scenery from home. That and my family was the nice part about living in Arizona."

[M'gann hmms over the information.]

"Well, it's a start at least. Oh! Maybe you could tell her more about your friends! What sort of powers they have, what they're good at? That sort of thing?"

[Mind you, she has no idea if she qualifies as a friend. Casual Baking Acquaintance seems like a better category so far.]

"You too?"

[From the way she gives a small gasp, plus the sound of hands clapping over her mouth, M'gann didn't QUITE mean to let that information slip out. Can't really take it back now, though. Maybe some fast conversation can distract from the point instead.]

"But it's good that you do now! I fully agree, and I think chances are she does too. It's a nice place to make friends, different powers and everything! Even if it's not exactly a normal place."

[In her book it still resembles TV, so it comes close enough.]

[He's (unknowingly) preaching to the choir on the 'most things' bit. M'gann gives a small, agreeing "mmmm."]

"You'll figure out what to say, I think. You seem..." [Okay, she's not sure if he really DOES have a way with words, but M'gann still wants to say something encouraging.] "To care a lot, so that should help. And come through!"

[There! Not bad if she says so.]

"I'll leave you to it, too... though if you want help or something, I could... you know, lend a hand."

[But for now? She should probably end the call before she blurts out anything else.]
