i didn't mean to. i don't know how it happened. maybe because we've connected a few times telepathically. maybe it was just instinct.

( to reach for his mother. )

i know. i talked to him.

[notrosecolored]

You were projecting a lot when you first arrived too. My money's on instinct. She is your mom, and she's safe.

[overconfidently]

yeah, maybe. i just don't want to hurt her.

you talked to wade?

[notrosecolored]

She'll be okay.

I talked to Wade.

[overconfidently]

she showed me something. a memory. of us.

are you mad at me?

[notrosecolored]

I'm not mad at you at all.

[overconfidently]

disappointed?

[notrosecolored]

No.

[overconfidently]

then what?

[notrosecolored]

Impressed. That was a clever direction to try.

Also resigned.

[overconfidently]

( that... is not anything he thought he'd get for an answer? just give him a second. )

well, you said to stop being so obvious about it, so. i figured i'd try what i do best.

[notrosecolored]

It was a good direction to take.
Not obvious, played to your strengths, to my knowledge hasn't been done and because no one else has done it gained some information.

[overconfidently]

i'm almost leaning towards him being a psychic of some type. or having a telepath on his team. i was skipping across the minds of the people who live here. not us. the actual people. but once i got to his mansion, it was just a mental void of nothing. i figured it was a trick or a shield so i pushed harder and that's when things got weird. there were images but they were spinning way too fast for me to see and anytime i tried to grab one, it hurt more until i couldn't take it anymore.

[notrosecolored]

That would certainly be a possibility - and a pretty good one for that information. There may be some other explanations about the nature of what he is, or maybe even where he is - but some kind of psychic fits all of them to some degree.

It might also explain the... pervasiveness of the officials knowing what's going on, and sometimes what's planned but hasn't actually happened.

[overconfidently]

i don't know where i was. whether it was his mind, the edge of it, or some other place entirely. i haven't experienced anything like that before. it could have been a trap for all i know.

but if they don't have some sort of psychic batting for them, i'd be surprised.

[notrosecolored]

Yeah and to result in putting you down like that, it's a good one.

[overconfidently]

or they've dampened our powers so they can be better.

( and that thought really pisses him off. )

[notrosecolored]

They've definitely dampened - and capped - powers, just based on Jean and Phoenix. Nevermind their ability to turn them off entirely.

[overconfidently]

so they're cowards then.

[notrosecolored]

I don't think that's inaccurate. Most people who have incredible amount of power - and they've dragged other really powerful people here - actually are.

[overconfidently]

i could try again. knowing what to expect now.

[notrosecolored]

You could, but it wouldn't get us more information, and they know what to expect now, too.

[overconfidently]

well. i have another idea.

[notrosecolored]

what is it?

[overconfidently]

can i talk to you in your head about it?

( it seems more private that way. )
