teekboy07: hey john. what are you up to?
sharklit333: ... bugger all.
sharklit333: take it wings finally let you out of his *sight* then?
teekboy07: ... he's sleeping now. leaving on trip tomorrow morning.
teekboy07: but i keep thinking about going to the Baxter Building in the morning
sharklit333: ... shit, is that tomorrow?
sharklit333: </sarcasm>
teekboy07: sounds like the John i know ;-)
sharklit333: ... ri-ight.
sharklit333: stop stressing, teekboy.
sharklit333: nothing to worry about, right?
teekboy07: probably not.
teekboy07: unless the FF sold the MGH to the commando team, in which case we might not walk out alive
sharklit333: ... aren't you meant to be the resident optimist?
teekboy07: hah, hah. if everyone's worst fears ran through your head during crises you'd find it tough to be cheery 24/7 too
[….]
teekboy07: there's a boy on the other side of us who keeps having nightmares of the attack. it woke me up again - so here i am.
sharklit333: ... picking up on nightmares now? ouch.
teekboy07: i was thinking of telling Kurt about it... I think someone should talk to him
sharklit333: ... kurt? sure. something about chocolate teapots springs to mind...
sharklit333: though that may have more to do with how I'm going to hell and all.
teekboy07: going to hell? huh?
sharklit333: long story, joshy. suffice to say being stuck with reverend blue wasn't all fun n games.
teekboy07: what did he say to you?!
sharklit333: ... usual spiel. god's not too keen on terrorists or ass-bandits...
sharklit333: whatever.
sharklit333: brb...
teekboy07: ...
teekboy07: well, that's nice of him. where's God's unconditional love for his children?
sharklit333: bk. typing too loud for drake, 'pparently.
teekboy07: he sleeps really lightly, i forgot about that.
sharklit333: not the only one :-)
sharklit333: ... wtf? okay, someone changed the smilies to bunnies?
sharklit333: *shrug* ok, too much work to change now.
teekboy07: probably kitty
sharklit333: probably.
teekboy07: how are the two of you getting along?
sharklit333: me and kitty? haven't talked to her since i got back.
teekboy07: you and bob.
[....] [sharklit333 is typing] [sharklit333 has entered text] [....]
teekboy07: i was kind of surprised 'ro put you guys in together
sharklit333: not her sanest moment, probably.
[.....]
teekboy07: heh
teekboy07: didn't he like hate you when we got back from that mission?
teekboy07: aaah... that came out wrong.
sharklit333: *that mission*?
teekboy07: the rescue mission.
sharklit333: ah, yeah. wrong. dw.
[sharklit333 is typing] [sharklit333 has entered text]
[.....]
sharklit333: Not really.
teekboy07: i know he didn't. he just went through a lot with Magneto.
teekboy07: ...not that he's told any of us, but I'm not stupid.
teekboy07: and I saw the medical lab reports
sharklit333: ... and I'm meant to say what, Josh?
sharklit333: ... that came out wrong.
teekboy07: touche.
teekboy07: i guess... i guess what i'm trying to say is i get it.
sharklit333: Glad someone does.
teekboy07: i don't usually get you...
teekboy07: but i get that you were trying to keep him safe.
teekboy07: god knows I'd do just about anything for Warren.
sharklit333: there's *nice*
[....]
sharklit333: fuck. sorry Josh.
sharklit333: s'just... fucked up
[sharklit333 is typing] [sharklit333 has entered text] [....]
teekboy07: hey, I listened to you in baker. i know it's screwed up.
teekboy07: you thought you knew what was best. i just wish i could have convinced you otherwise
sharklit333: master of the understatement... and *screwed*, josh? so wings hasn't totally corrupted you, then...
sharklit333: yeah, well, you and me both
sharklit333: hindsight's a fucking bitch, eh?
teekboy07: i dunno... he always finds new ways to corrupt me
teekboy07: yeah, it is. but things in the past shouldn't keep fucking up stuff in the present. we learn and move on.
sharklit333: ... that good, eh? landed on your feet there Joshy boyo.
teekboy07: yeah, i did. i'm a lucky guy.
sharklit333: not many boyfriends'd come up with such original honour-defending tortures based on a zippo alone, i'll grant him that
sharklit333: seriously, though. congrats n'all that.
sharklit333: don't spose you know where drake keeps the zippo stuff these days? assuming he didn't chuck it, of course.
teekboy07: thanks... he's an amazing guy. don't mind him, though. he's just feeling awfully protective since finding me in a burnt heap.
teekboy07: i don't think i've thanked you for pulling me out, btw.
sharklit333: ... yeah, well, don't let it go to your head
sharklit333: s'just what anyone sane'd do, right?
teekboy07: i put it under that loose floorboard over in the corner...
teekboy07: well, yeah. but thanks.
teekboy07: bobby kept giving it this awful pitiful look every time he saw it, right after Alkali... but i didn't want to throw it away.
sharklit333: ah, right.... seriously?
sharklit333: forget i asked that.
sharklit333: brb
teekboy07: well, in answer to your not-asked question, yeah.
teekboy07: he loves you, you know.
teekboy07: if you break his heart i'll kill you with my brain.
sharklit333: can't kill me, albatross. I'm too goddam pretty to die
sharklit333: and seriously? I think it's too fucking late for any of that. he's moved on.
sharklit333: *shrug*
teekboy07: moved onto what?
teekboy07: his hand?
sharklit333: hell if i know.
teekboy07: give me a break, john.
teekboy07: he thinks you're going out with Rogue now.
sharklit333: i doubt warren'd let me get away with giving you any more.
[....]
sharklit333: ah. wondered when you'd bring her up, captain subtle.
[.....]
teekboy07: as much as getting beaten up by you sucked, there was a good deal of "I thought I'd lost you!" sex. so I forgive you.
sharklit333: so someone got good sex out of this. I'm glad.
teekboy07: and how can I not bring her up? the trinity's back, the sides have just shifted.
sharklit333: ... and i'm meant to understand that?
sharklit333: psychobabble's gone to your head, lil bro.
teekboy07: the prof was the one with the PhD. this is just from watching.
sharklit333: *watching*? always knew you used the tp to perv.
teekboy07: 3 people are inherently unstable, unless you guys are all into some sort of threesome relationship. which i'm pretty sure bob wouldn't go for.
sharklit333: thanks, oprah
teekboy07: i don't perv with my TP!
sharklit333: yeah right
teekboy07: asshole. :-)
sharklit333: ... yeah, but ya love me anyway :-)
teekboy07: looks like you're the only one with bunnies, bud. maybe in a drunk fit of cuteness you changed it yourself?
sharklit333: ... oh, sure.
sharklit333: or else kit's been using my laptop while i've been off living the high life.
teekboy07: maybe she was playing an rpg
teekboy07: i know she's a fan of hamtaro...
teekboy07: :-D
sharklit333: ... like i need another reason to look down on her.
teekboy07: you might have problems finding her. she can go invisible now...
sharklit333: o rly?
teekboy07: ya rly~
sharklit333: well, that's different.
sharklit333: lot's changed.
teekboy07: but some things stay the same.... like the three of you.
teekboy07: i'm nothing if not persistent.
teekboy07: he thinks you're dating. are you?
[....] [sharklit333 is typing] [sharklit333 has entered text] [.....]
sharklit333: .... fuck, he really is a light sleeper. Funny, what you forget, really.
sharklit333: you think stretch and the baxtery boys'll figure anything out tomorrow? (shit... coming up 5am, Joshy. Guess that makes it later today....)
teekboy07: i hope so...
teekboy07: but i think that bobby' just has to wait this one out
teekboy07: it should be the same as anyone else who was stuck with that crap
sharklit333: fingers crossed.
sharklit333: don't put it past buckethead to find some last way to fuck as all over, though...
sharklit333: ... don't mind me. just venting.
teekboy07: i'm first in line after you. you know he sent that guy after Warren, right?
sharklit333: ...
sharklit333: must've missed that particular memo
teekboy07: this guy named Rasputin. made Warren think people at the theatre were going to attack him
sharklit333: ... shit. that's fucked up.
sharklit333: why this surprises me I've no idea
sharklit333: but fuck. asshole.
teekboy07: i was here and felt Warren's emotions... so i stopped him from whatever he was going to do.
teekboy07: it... ugh.
teekboy07: that kind of thing scares the shit out of me.
teekboy07: i can't be with him all the time, and my power does have a range. i don't want anything to happen to him :-(
sharklit333: ... come off it, joshy. it's *Twoo Wuv*, right?
sharklit333: fuck, someone's gotta have the happy ending
sharklit333: odds on it's you two.
teekboy07: fine. you want the truth?
sharklit333: as always, josh. nothing less.
teekboy07: i love Warren more than I knew it was possible to love someone. I'm incomplete without him, and the idea of going through the rest of my life without him would kill me.
[....]
sharklit333: like i said, congrats on that.
teekboy07: but i'm sure you find that way too sappy for your taste.
sharklit333: oh yeah. much.
teekboy07: no *twoo wuv* for you, then?
sharklit333: like i said, gotta be that one couple a century it works out for, right?
sharklit333: ... nah. rest of us gotta do without, bastards like you hogging it all
teekboy07: maybe if you told him how you felt...
sharklit333: oh, sure, that'd work.
teekboy07: then you two could stop snipping and start making out, hey?
sharklit333: keep on dreaming, kid. reality sucks major ass.
teekboy07: just... you know. go on over and crawl into his bed.
teekboy07: ;-)
[....] [sharklit333 is typing] [sharklit333 has entered text] [....] [sharklit333 is typing]
sharklit333: fuck, josh... i want to.
sharklit333: but no. he's clear on that at least
sharklit333: s'over. end of.
teekboy07: :-(
sharklit333: yeah yeah. you and me both.
teekboy07: it's not the end. maybe he just needs some time...
sharklit333: whatever. s'better this way, right?
sharklit333: ... uch. forget i said anything
sharklit333: forget the whole fucking convo.
teekboy07: it's not better this way!
teekboy07: 'Yay, everyone's miserable!'
sharklit333: better than "Yay, everyone's fucking each other over and pretending they're not"
sharklit333: y'only got a couple of hours with feathers before we're off on the thrilling heroic science trip. surely there are better ways to spend 'em
teekboy07: i don't know what I'd do it i were you. but.... don't give up.
teekboy07: maybe i'm multitasking ;-)
sharklit333: oh boy. now those are some images i never expected from you, 'ickle bro.
sharklit333: all grown up and fucking a celebrity bad boy
sharklit333: I'm so proud.
teekboy07: he's not a 'bad boy'. he's... i don't know. i guess he used to be.
teekboy07: bobby had the bright idea of showing me some pictures online before we started dating
sharklit333: just needed the right guy to tame him... yeah yeah.
teekboy07: i think he felt the need to do what you would have done.
teekboy07: you know, torment me.
sharklit333: yeah, i'm a bastard like that
sharklit333: bet bob couldn't pull it off
sharklit333: ... and that would be the Jacks talking. seriously, I don't need to know any of this.
teekboy07: he made a surprisingly good effort though
teekboy07: for awhile there i think everyone wanted to beat him over the head with a bat
teekboy07: and then he started dating you, or not-dating you, or whatever. and it stopped.
sharklit333: like i said. don't need or want to know.
teekboy07: shut up. you're such a liar!
teekboy07: i don't need to be a telepath to see that.
sharklit333: nah, y'just have to be a deluded romantic.
teekboy07: you care. you care more than most people, but for some reason you don't want anyone to know it.
sharklit333: ... you're stealing bob's lines now, josh.
teekboy07: maybe cause he's right.
sharklit333: yeah yeah. he's always fucking right, isn't he?
sharklit333: unfair the one mistake icicle makes in his entire fucking life was this one.
teekboy07: what mistake?
sharklit333: ... uch. maudlin. pathetic
teekboy07: you?
sharklit333: give the boy a biscuit. here i was thinking you tps were meant to be perceptive.
teekboy07: my telekinesis will easily reach down the hallway. don't make me hit you over the head!
sharklit333: ... wouldn't be the best idea. just getting used to non-concussed brain
teekboy07: ow. is that any better?
sharklit333: ... mostly, yeah.
sharklit333: remind me not to let shiny men bang me with guns...
teekboy07: *gigglesnort*
sharklit333: seriously. big mistake.
sharklit333: HUGE, even.
teekboy07: you're not! you make him HAPPY. is that so hard to see?
teekboy07: right now you've hit a rough patch, yeah. but it's not the end.
sharklit333: oh yeah. pretty fucking happy
sharklit333: we're having a ball down here.
teekboy07: well, except for making him think you're dating Rogue. asshole.
sharklit333: ... maybe i am dating rogue. maybe i'm moving on and trying to do something half-way decent for once.
teekboy07: if you want to crawl into bobby's bed, you've got no place dating rogue.
teekboy07: she's my friend, too.
sharklit333: not about what i want.
teekboy07: it's not about what you want? what is it about, then?
sharklit333: rogue needs a voice in her head. bob needs an excuse to move on and not let himself get fucked over again.
sharklit333: if it works, we live with it, right?
teekboy07: rogue needs voice in her head?
teekboy07: is this about... damn.
teekboy07: they're all gone.
teekboy07: except you, now.
sharklit333: apparently. it's a bit empty in there, or som... yeah.
teekboy07: i was there... i just hadn't thought about it that way.
teekboy07: that's how we figured out where to find the HQ.
sharklit333: ... what the hell happened? I can't get a straight answer outta her.
teekboy07: well...
teekboy07: this is totally out there, even for me.
teekboy07: Rogue's got all those extra powers, right?
sharklit333: ... right. the whole *bulletproof* thing.
sharklit333: ?
teekboy07: she got them from this hobag terrorist lady
teekboy07: ah - not that all terrorists are bad, of course.
teekboy07: O:-)
teekboy07: but anyway, it was when these people tried to hold Congress hostage.
sharklit333: ... that wasn't us?
sharklit333: erm, wasn’t the 'hood?
teekboy07: i don't think so. No big fat men who defy gravity over there, are there?
sharklit333: ... don't think so
teekboy07: probably Mags' half-brother or something.
teekboy07: she locked away the psyche in her mind... and it got out. and started killing all the others, while we were looking for you.
teekboy07: well, we were looking for your psyche. cause he had the HQ location.
sharklit333: ... okay. pretending this makes sense...
teekboy07: so she killed them all. i was barely able to prevent rogue from suffering brain damage, this... thing... was trying to attack her mental pathways.
sharklit333: ... fuck
teekboy07: rogue was finally able to pull through, but i guess that left things pretty empty.
teekboy07: and it was all kinds of horrific to see you, bob, logan, pete... me... get killed. i can't imagine what it was like for rogue, since i was an observer.
sharklit333: ... yeah, she won't talk about it. just kinda chokes about us all dying.
sharklit333: fuck. should have been here, joshy... s'not fair, both of them getting fucked over...
teekboy07: :-(
teekboy07: when did you let her touch you?
::teekboy07 has entered room XavierChat1 ::
teekboy07: hey john. what are you up to?
sharklit333: ... bugger all.
sharklit333: take it wings finally let you out of his *sight* then?
teekboy07: ... he's sleeping now. leaving on trip tomorrow morning.

teekboy07: i was here and felt Warren's emotions... so i stopped him from whatever he was going to do.
teekboy07: it... ugh.
teekboy07: that kind of thing scares the shit out of me.
teekboy07: i can't be with him all the time, and my power does have a range. i don't want anything to happen to him :-(
sharklit333: ... come off it, joshy. it's *Twoo Wuv*, right?
sharklit333: fuck, someone's gotta have the happy ending
sharklit333: odds on it's you two.
teekboy07: fine. you want the truth?
sharklit333: as always, josh. nothing less.
teekboy07: i love Warren more than I knew it was possible to love someone. I'm incomplete without him, and the idea of going through the rest of my life without him would kill me.
[....]
sharklit333: like i said, congrats on that.
teekboy07: but i'm sure you find that way too sappy for your taste.
sharklit333: oh yeah. much.
teekboy07: no *twoo wuv* for you, then?
sharklit333: like i said, gotta be that one couple a century it works out for, right?
sharklit333: ... nah. rest of us gotta do without, bastards like you hogging it all
teekboy07: maybe if you told him how you felt...
sharklit333: oh, sure, that'd work.
teekboy07: then you two could stop snipping and start making out, hey?
sharklit333: keep on dreaming, kid. reality sucks major ass.
teekboy07: just... you know. go on over and crawl into his bed.
teekboy07: ;-)
[....] [sharklit333 is typing] [sharklit333 has entered text] [....] [sharklit333 is typing]
sharklit333: fuck, josh... i want to.
sharklit333: but no. he's clear on that at least
sharklit333: s'over. end of.
teekboy07: :-(
sharklit333: yeah yeah. you and me both.
teekboy07: it's not the end. maybe he just needs some time...
sharklit333: whatever. s'better this way, right?
sharklit333: ... uch. forget i said anything
sharklit333: forget the whole fucking convo.
teekboy07: it's not better this way!
teekboy07: 'Yay, everyone's miserable!'
sharklit333: better than "Yay, everyone's fucking each other over and pretending they're not"
sharklit333: y'only got a couple of hours with feathers before we're off on the thrilling heroic science trip. surely there are better ways to spend 'em
teekboy07: i don't know what I'd do it i were you. but.... don't give up.
teekboy07: maybe i'm multitasking ;-)
sharklit333: oh boy. now those are some images i never expected from you, 'ickle bro.
sharklit333: all grown up and fucking a celebrity bad boy
sharklit333: I'm so proud.
teekboy07: he's not a 'bad boy'. he's... i don't know. i guess he used to be.
teekboy07: bobby had the bright idea of showing me some pictures online before we started dating
sharklit333: just needed the right guy to tame him... yeah yeah.
teekboy07: i think he felt the need to do what you would have done.
teekboy07: you know, torment me.
sharklit333: yeah, i'm a bastard like that
sharklit333: bet bob couldn't pull it off
sharklit333: ... and that would be the Jacks talking. seriously, I don't need to know any of this.
teekboy07: he made a surprisingly good effort though
teekboy07: for awhile there i think everyone wanted to beat him over the head with a bat
teekboy07: and then he started dating you, or not-dating you, or whatever. and it stopped.
sharklit333: like i said. don't need or want to know.
teekboy07: shut up. you're such a liar!
teekboy07: i don't need to be a telepath to see that.
sharklit333: nah, y'just have to be a deluded romantic.
teekboy07: you care. you care more than most people, but for some reason you don't want anyone to know it.
sharklit333: ... you're stealing bob's lines now, josh.
teekboy07: maybe cause he's right.
sharklit333: yeah yeah. he's always fucking right, isn't he?
sharklit333: unfair the one mistake icicle makes in his entire fucking life was this one.
teekboy07: what mistake?
sharklit333: ... uch. maudlin. pathetic
teekboy07: you?
sharklit333: give the boy a biscuit. here i was thinking you tps were meant to be perceptive.
teekboy07: my telekinesis will easily reach down the hallway. don't make me hit you over the head!
sharklit333: ... wouldn't be the best idea. just getting used to non-concussed brain
teekboy07: ow. is that any better?
sharklit333: ... mostly, yeah.
sharklit333: remind me not to let shiny men bang me with guns...
teekboy07: *gigglesnort*
sharklit333: seriously. big mistake.
sharklit333: HUGE, even.
teekboy07: you're not! you make him HAPPY. is that so hard to see?
teekboy07: right now you've hit a rough patch, yeah. but it's not the end.
sharklit333: oh yeah. pretty fucking happy
sharklit333: we're having a ball down here.
teekboy07: well, except for making him think you're dating Rogue. asshole.
sharklit333: ... maybe i am dating rogue. maybe i'm moving on and trying to do something half-way decent for once.
teekboy07: if you want to crawl into bobby's bed, you've got no place dating rogue.
teekboy07: she's my friend, too.
sharklit333: not about what i want.
teekboy07: it's not about what you want? what is it about, then?
sharklit333: rogue needs a voice in her head. bob needs an excuse to move on and not let himself get fucked over again.
sharklit333: if it works, we live with it, right?
teekboy07: rogue needs voice in her head?
teekboy07: is this about... damn.
teekboy07: they're all gone.
teekboy07: except you, now.
sharklit333: apparently. it's a bit empty in there, or som... yeah.
teekboy07: i was there... i just hadn't thought about it that way.
teekboy07: that's how we figured out where to find the HQ.
sharklit333: ... what the hell happened? I can't get a straight answer outta her.
teekboy07: well...
teekboy07: this is totally out there, even for me.
teekboy07: Rogue's got all those extra powers, right?
sharklit333: ... right. the whole *bulletproof* thing.
sharklit333: ?
teekboy07: she got them from this hobag terrorist lady
teekboy07: ah - not that all terrorists are bad, of course.
teekboy07: O:-)
teekboy07: but anyway, it was when these people tried to hold Congress hostage.
sharklit333: ... that wasn't us?
sharklit333: erm, wasn’t the 'hood?
teekboy07: i don't think so. No big fat men who defy gravity over there, are there?
sharklit333: ... don't think so
teekboy07: probably Mags' half-brother or something.
teekboy07: she locked away the psyche in her mind... and it got out. and started killing all the others, while we were looking for you.
teekboy07: well, we were looking for your psyche. cause he had the HQ location.
sharklit333: ... okay. pretending this makes sense...
teekboy07: so she killed them all. i was barely able to prevent rogue from suffering brain damage, this... thing... was trying to attack her mental pathways.
sharklit333: ... fuck
teekboy07: rogue was finally able to pull through, but i guess that left things pretty empty.
teekboy07: and it was all kinds of horrific to see you, bob, logan, pete... me... get killed. i can't imagine what it was like for rogue, since i was an observer.
sharklit333: ... yeah, she won't talk about it. just kinda chokes about us all dying.
sharklit333: fuck. should have been here, joshy... s'not fair, both of them getting fucked over...
teekboy07: :-(
teekboy07: when did you let her touch you?
