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?

"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.]

[Oh. Yeah, he can see how that could happen pretty damn easily. Just being known as a mutant had been bad enough, to be visibly seen as one every day... yeah.]

Seriously. It's been ... good to be able to open up 'bout everything here, y'know?

[...Most things, at least.]

[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.]
