Kevin & Clea : Welcome Back [Backdated]

[xp_clea]

Clea is in the XF office looking at files when Kevin finds her and welcomes her back into the fold.

( You know, it is easier to hide tossing an office when you don't have a magical cat obviously watching out the front of the doorway )

The Marius Laverne Apology Tour Part 1: Gabriel and Jubilee

[xp_emplate]

The apology tour starts with Gabe. There really is no good way to say 'sorry for the throttling.' 


( There's no Band-Aid. Shit takes time. But at least we can talk about it. )

Next stop on the tour: Jubilee (with ample carbohydrates as offerings).


( Kid, if I’m ever unhappy that someone lived when maybe they could have died it’s probably time to put me down. )

Liam and Kyle, post-Pale Horse Check-in

[xp_wildchild]

While Marius does his apology tour turns, Kyle checks on Liam, does get him to agree to see a therapist, and completely forgets to ask him what he's building and making.

This won't cause problems later at all. Nope.

( Liam, buddy, don't pick code names when you're sixteen. I mean we can give you one for Gen-X stuff, they're fun as hell, but sometimes when you pick them you get stuck with them. Forever. )

The Marius Laverne Apology Tour Part 2: Molly and Kurt

[xp_emplate]

As it turns out, Molly meets the whole Horseman thing with admirable equanimity.


( It's cool. I think a lot of people have been temporarily evil before. )

An uncomfortable conversation with Kurt proves easier than it might have been.


( No apology is needed, you know. )

Haller, Hope, & Arthur | Collective Misfortune

[xp_longshot]

Arthur, stable due to Warren’s blood donation, is moved up from the Medlab to his own suite to recover. Haller and Terry have temporarily relocated to aid in his recovery.

***

Arthur, Haller, and Felix receive a visit from Hope Abbott. She has brought a gift.

( Damn it, Arthur. )

***

It wasn’t over.

( Logic was out for the day. )

Artie and Jono, communication support

[xp_artie]

Artie, delayed by injury, finally drops by Jono to offer some communication support.

( Sure.... a child had once gestured at his face, but an adult? )

Kyle & Terry | So I Wanna Be An X-Man...

[xp_banshee]

Terry instigates a conversation just to make sure Kyle's got not objections to her joining the team. (Heavily backdated.)


( I've already done like two pre dawn snack attacks, I don't wanna wake up craving peanut butter and bacon sandwiches... )
