Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Right so the reason I wanted this room back bad enough to threaten that Freshman was that ..." Ellie points to the tree whose branch is close enough to leap to. "Beats just jumping to the ground and not all of us can fly." the door is shut behind them and she flicks on her light. The light in the room is dimmer than it should be and more flickier. "I swapped the bulbs out for these fake candle flame bulbs... " and then she gestures around.

The room is definitely moved into. There is a poster that says ~Magneto was Right~ with the Genoshan flag. One that show Captain America punching a Nazi. AntiFa battle flag. There is a lot of black furniture, drapes, bedding, clothing haphazardly strung about. Honestly it looks like a hot topic was the victim of an improvised explosive device. "Whatcha think?" Ellie chimes.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Grins and turns looking around slowly before she nods " Not bad I like it " she says " more stuff thanI have " she admits " My room is basicly what it came with " she says " maybe sheets " . She admits as she looks around she picks up a shirt but looks at the posters " You know magneto helped raise me , once I broke my programing "

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"He seems pretty cool for an old guy. Maybe a little too fast to kill all the humans really but he isn't wrong that they probably won't ever accept us." pretty philosophical for Nega. "What was he like in the future?"

Ellie walks over to her bed and works her boots off, undoing the laces before flopping on it. "Also you .. well you are from the future. You know this isn't just a school.. right?"

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Looks around " I was born here, " she says looking around the room " before they launched their missles and blew up the whole school, " he says softly touching the poster " he's pretty much the same, He doesn't believe in hiding if they wanna come at us let them " . She sighs " They blew up the school and sent in sentinels to finish off who was left. "

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie scoots up to put her back on her headboard watching you touch her poster. "Sentinels.. fuck I saw a video of those fuckers on me-tube. they attacked a bunch of people in Russia a week ago." she frowns. "Are they going to blow up the school." pause Ellie breath.

"So you .. uh know about the real work some of the older teens and the adults do then Rachel?" Ellie does, she is a New Mutant, even if it is all training wheels and frustrating.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Looks over at ellie she bites her lip but she keeps her wants in check.. before she looks back " You mean the Xman, X-force and New mutants stuff trying to get along with everybody stuff? " she asks " Yeah I know I was told about it in the future by kate, Logan and Eric " she moves to the bed and sits down on the edge.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
God Ellie is so bad at this. What do you do when your girlfriend is sad. Fuck. Misreading the lip bite for a case of the feels.

Hearing a knock at the door Ellie eye rolls "God.. come in." assuming it is Kentucky or Speedy or Snoops or well the list goes on but doesn't include Jean which will be surprising.

Nega rolls forward and hugs Rachel. "Well lets not let those fuckers blow everything up then. Right?" pause "I'm in the Junior Varsity squad, the New Mutants.. no idea what X-Force is.. your dad tried to get me assigned to some team he called FaXion. I shit you not."

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Leans back and pulls her arms against her leaning back to kiss her cheek. When he hears the door she can't help but scan to see who it is and her face gets suddenly stiff and has that deer in headlights look.

Phoenix has posed:
"While I appreciate the high regard you hold for me, Ellie, I still don't go by God," Jean notes in amusement as she walks inside, "I heard you were back with us, Ellie, just wanted to greet you and at the same time," Jean turns to look at Rachel, "see how the girl from the future is doing...is everyone nice to you, Rachel? I see you've met Ellie."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
That. That is not the voice she expected when her door opens. She gets a much briefer deer in headlights look. Then she fronts sullen teenager and leans against Rachel to peer around her at Jean.

Wait. Jean just said greet her. Like welcome her. Not give her detention for scaring the freshman into giving her the old room back. Wow ok. Maybe she is going to skate. "Yah right. I'm pretty sure if someone was mean to Spikybirb they would learn what defenestration is." she says it with amusement. Picturing Speedy flailing out a window. She wouldn't really do it, but it is a funny picture.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey That did it since shes' touching Ellie and of course, reading her mind since she can't help it the image of her using a flaming hand to hold speedy out the window while he flails is too funny and she snorts.

     She looks over at jean " I'm okay .." she pauses "Mom" . Almost like she's trying the word out herself and doesn't know how to deal with everything that means.

Phoenix has posed:
Does Jean know about Ellie kicking a freshman to get her old room back? Good question, doesn't seem she's bringing it up at the moment, so who knows. Jean has yet to quite manage that one on one she wanted with Rachel, but then maybe this is every bit as hard on her as it is on Rachel? Tough to say.

"I'm glad you're acclimating as well as can be, I can imagine it's very hard on you," Jean says to Rachel, before turning to look at Ellie over, "so, while you were away I didn't read about inexplicable explosions with lots of dead, so, I guess we could say your time at the school proved valuable? Even if you'd hate to admit it? I'm glad you're doing better."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie is still very bad at this but she gives Rachel a half arm hug while she is talking to Jean. Something going on there, though the intent seems comfort not fronting anything for once.

The first part of Jeans spiel is fine, if causing the start of an eye roll. "Went to Genosha, tropic paradise for mutants. Not dorkchester." Then it takes a darker turn with lots of dead comment, even though Jean had to be kidding. That is one hell of a sore spot with Ellie though, PTSD much. She shuts up for the rest, not interrupting Jean and spirals. Current Mode: SullenSilence. Flavor: Hurting.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Leans against Ellie as she hugs her she can't help it as she's comforted by the resident mean girl for some strange reason. though she says something " she won't explode unless she wants too as long as I'm around, and if she did maybe they deserved it " She says simply.

Phoenix has posed:
"That so...?" Jean asks while Ellie relates where she's been too, "so Magneto Rex is all cool with you now?" She asks somewhat teasingly based on an old tirade she once heard. But then she sees how Ellie responds to her quip, and Jean moves closer, resting one hand on Ellie's shoulder, "I meant it in a good way, Ellie, you're improving your control over your powers. You should be proud of that..." she then looks aside at Rachel, "so, you and Ellie got real close?" She muses, not knowing Ellie to easily get close to people, maybe Rachel really was her daughter, that was a rare trait, the capacity to get introverted people to open up to her.

"You already know how Ellie got here, Rachel?" Jean seems surprised, figuring that's one story Ellie wouldn't readily share, unless of course Rachel simply took it, which she hopes wasn't the case.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
That is all very complicated. I mean. Very complicated. Ellie definitely hasn't said anything about it out loud for sure. Her nightmares are hard to miss though as they wrack the girl with guilt and dark thoughts.

She still doesn't go into mean girl mode at Jean, has to find a center and remember where she is, working to center herself. Then she inhales and peers up at Jean. "I wanted to see my home again. But you can't ever fucking go home again or isn't that how the saying goes." of course her home is actually here. But admitting it and that she desperately missed the school. That is a harder sell then finding a mirror to her own problems in Rachel.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Says nothing as Ellie thinks dark thing and just leans her head on her shoulder turning to hug the girl. But she answers her mother "Yeah she did, we shared ". Is all she says softly clearly it's not easy for her either. Lots of things she wants to say but she can't she's kinda lost too. But she looks up at jean "So how are you? " asking her how she is for once.

Phoenix has posed:
In one of those rare moments where Jean sounds like she's actually sharing something genuine from her own life, she notes rather bitterly at Ellie, "no, you can't. Not always. But...sometimes you make a new one, and I'll have you know, as far as I'm concerned this is very much your home, Ellie. And we are very much your family, no matter how much you may hate us. By the way, if we irritate you, it just means we really are family," Jean winks playfully with that statement.

When Rachel admits that Ellie actually opened up to her, Jean smiles warmly at Rachel, "well the, daughter, I think I'm proud of you..." and she turns to look at Ellie, "and of you, Ms. Phimister."

She withdraws a little, and remarks, "I'm sorry, but I get the feeling that by checking on you guys I wound up being in the way of something. I can leave, would hate to be a bother." To Rachel she adds, "I'm well enough, I think."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Oh sweet zombie jesus that is a lot of feels Jean dumps on her with that whole saga, not negative ones. Just a lot of feels. Positive. What the hell is with this home coming and positive feels. Not that Ellie will admit it out loud but damn if she doesn't want Jean's acceptance and to actually have a family.

There is a dark voice in the back of her head that is depression which is already trying to convince Ellie she is just a danger to her new family. The outward reaction "I don't hate all of you Firebirb. I think you are all super annoying and irritating." which, when coupled with what Jean said, is almost like she is admitting in code about the family angle.

Oh hey subject change. Though she doesn't pull away from being hugged. Damn. Limbo is freezing over. "We still have the New Mutants right. No one disbanded us in the semester I was gone or anything. Right? I can go blow idiots up?"

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Smiles softly as her hug is accepted then her mom says she's proud and she gets that deer in headlights look in her face and freezes, Then she's turning red and goes Ellie " whatever " She says going Sullen silence as she tries to process and totally fails.

Phoenix has posed:
"Sam Guthrie is currently the leader of the New Mutants, I trust you remember him, Ellie," Jean offers with a soft smile to Ellie, she gets the maelstrom of emotions coming out of Ellie, but she's not one to force herself inside. She makes no show of being aware, but she gives Ellie the time she needs to deal with it on her own. So long as her help isn't explicitly asked for, it's not for her to force her assistance. She just continues to move closer to the door, figuring it's best to let Ellie and Rachel have their time to bond together. It's a very healthy thing for both, even if Jean would rather selfishly like some time with Rachel. "I just wanted to check on you, on both of you, and to welcome you home, Ellie, I'll leave you be now, don't stay up too late..." and with that Jean turns to leave.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Now it is Ellie's turn to squeeze Rachel. This is a vicious circle.

Hugging accomplished Ellie murmurs "All right Spikybirb, we need to remind Kentucky that I am on the New Mutant team and he doesn't need to hide whatever crazy stuff he went off to do with Snoop. I assume it was non-kiddy business. Then we can go on missions and stop the whole bad bad future from ever happening."

Then Ellie looks to Jean "Well. It isn't horrible to see you too Firebirb." also not horrible avoiding being sent to detention or lectured right.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Turns and plants a rather clear quick kiss on Ellie's lips .oO Sorry I have to talk to her Oo. before she stands and reaches out with her hand and a touch of Tk " Mom wait ".

Phoenix has posed:
Jean was almost out the door when Rachel called after her, causing her to stop a moment, turning to look back at Rachel, "yes?" She asks softly, feeling a bit guilty at having possibly ruined a tender moment here at choosing the wrong time to check on Ellie and Rachel.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Returns that quick kiss and gives Rachel a bit of a nudge along encouraging even. Ellie scoots back putting her back to the head of her bed. When did she pull her phone out. Damn it's like she has speed phone related powers. Already typing.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Takes her mom's hand and well blanks she's got that deer in headlights look "I. " She wants to say so much her own emotions are a total mess and when she responds to mom her brain flips. Standing like an idiot who forgot what to say. She's a giant ball of hurt, Hate, self-loathing and wants so much want.

Phoenix has posed:
Jean turns to fully face Rachel, taking the girl in her arms into a tight embrace. She doesn't say anything, she just holds her in a tight embrace, but Rachel will hear some words in her mind, <<you don't have to say anything, I know, and I promise we'll get a chance to have a heart to heart soon. It's just...something we should do on our own, and I really think Ellie needs you right now more than you need me. I can tell you're my daughter, Rachel, you're strong...we'll talk soon. I promise. You know I'm just a thought away, right?>>

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie is doing her very best to give them privacy, sullen teenage silence mode engaged as she works furiously at searching Twitter to find some asshole to flay virtually. Ah target acquired. She proceeds to claw up with savage twits a MRA idiot who was bitching about how feminism has ruined everything.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey eye goes wide for just a moment before she melts into that embrace. She can't help it the hug is so warm and smells so familiar that thing she lost. Then those words she wants to hide it she wants to keep it from happening, but she's not as strong as Ellie she doesn't wanna admit it but she can't do sullen silence that well so tears start to pour out of her eye's even if she hates every single one! . She swallows <<Yeah I do >> and does that horrible sniffle thing.

Phoenix has posed:
Jean lingers longer, not breaking the embrace, holding it for as long as Rachel would wish it. pressing her daughter against herself. Making her as aware as possible that she is there, and there for her, even if without words for the time being. All that needed to be said, was said for now, the rest will come. "It'll be alright, Rachel," she whispers, and reaches to brush a hand against Rachel's hair. "You're home."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Well Negasonic knows she would want a potential out at this point if it was her. While Rachel isn't quite her she has felt the pain and it is remarkably similar, including coping mechanisms. Big Mood. Big Mood. At least Ellie hasn't even thought about the fact time travel exists and wonder if she could go back and save her parents from herself.

Anyhow Ellie looks up from her twitter firestorm she started. "Xaviers home for wayward and broken mutant children." okay that is both not mean but also not helpful. Damnit Ellie but she is including herself in that as much as Rachel and everyone else. She regrets saying it on many levels.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey When Jean says she has a home and she's being held by her mom, of course, she starts to cry worse.. then her salvation comes and she gives a short far to pained laugh but it did work.. the mean comment helped her snap out of it for a moment. She uses that one brief moment to pull away but quickly moves to lay on and hide on Ellie maybe not wanting her mom to see how much she was crying.

Phoenix has posed:
Jean allows Rachel to break the embrace, but if Ellie expected her to be upset at her comment, or chide her, that doesn't happen. Instead, Jean offers Ellie a bitter smile, before offering quite audibly, "and I was the very first one, so I know what's that like, Ellie, good night girls," and now Jean turns to leave much more hurriedly. Not giving anyone a chance to catch up to her.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie wraps Rachel up in her arms and holds her as she hides. She doesn't even say anything mean to anyone for a moment a she listens to Jean. She actually gives Jean a very slight nod. Though she looks just slightly surprised and puzzled. First one. "Can you lock it on the way out." not mean, she just really doesn't want anyone bursting in at this point.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Doesn't wanna but she's still crying and a bit of a ball of hurt so she's hanging onto ellie best she can and buried her face into her side trying to keep her body from shaking and betraying her a little bit. Really wanting to tap into that hate she always feels but it's totally failing her .

Phoenix has posed:
Jean does leave, and the door closes and locks behind her just as Ellie asked.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie just hugs Rachel. She has no real idea what she is doing. This feels like the right thing to do though. She just hugs the other girl and rocks her a little bit, resting her cheek against the side of her head now. Letting her cry it out and just being there. She may panic eventually but so far so good.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Doesn't panic she slowly after a moment and her mom is gone .. She takes a while, but she slowly rubs her eye's " Sorry I'm a mess "she says sniffling As she gives that I have no idea what to do look.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie cocks her head when you rub your eyes and look up at her there apologizing. She cups your face in her hands, tears and all and kisses you on the forehead. Then she wipes your cheeks with two fingertips. "Hey. Big Mood Spiky. I know." then she points "Can you uh.. TK the kleenex box over here though. I .. don't want to leave you." she admits softly.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey when you say that she can't help it she pulls you close and kisses you so hard.. as she squeezes against you before pulling back and reaching out to tk some to wipe her face with.. She leans her head on your chest so she can close her eyes and listen to your hear " Big mood sucks, I'd rather be angry "That's a lie, and you both know it.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie is a bit surprised by the sudden hard kiss, but .. she likes it and returns it blushing a flush. She relaxes back against her headboard as you fetch the kleenex with TK and then when you rest on her like that listening to her heart she wraps her arms back around you looking around the dim room. "Me to." and again you both know it's a lie. She is dangerously close to happy moments here and has no clue how to deal with that. Little edges of panic dance out of reach, thankfully still out of reach.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey She's in no mood to push right now just lays on her girlfriend and flicks her wrists so the screen pops up and she starts to surf the web to learn more about this timeline.. then she gets to a picture of power girl and wonders woman " holy shit are those things real?"

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie is dangerously comfortable. She isn't at all used to this as she holds you in her arms and watches you surf. She can see the screen with the projected hologram. That is really useful. "Yeah." she doesn't say of course. I mean Rachel already said there are entire heroes she doesn't remember. "That is Power Girl and Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is a founding member of the Justice League. Amazon from the country of Tymesceria os something like that." she mispronounces it pretty bad. "Power Girl is like Superman's big boobed cousin. I think she is in the Justice League too. She punched the shit out of that Darkseid guy when they invaded the world. Knocked him clear into the upper Atmosphere."

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Blinks as she clearly checks out Darkside " Who the fuck ..woah " she blinks " That guy looks like an apocalypse rejected clone". She frowns though " So you're telling me those tits aren't fake " she shakes her head " aliens. " She rubs her cheek on your chest clearly likes yours better.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie watches you surf. She internal shudders a bit at the pictures and footage of Darkseid because he pretty much almost killed all the worlds heroes without breaking a sweat. "He could swat Kryptonians like Superman and Power Girl around like they were flies. It was a close thing." then she actually laughs a bit "Not fake.. I mean I think." and rests her chin on the top of your head cuddled.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Cuddles more she back of her head is telling her she dosn't deserve this .. that she hasn't earned this and she be hated.. but she's distracted with learning about hero's and snarking on bobby .

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Well Ellie is hugging you, she is also twitting. She can multitask and type resting her phone on your side for balance since her other arm is around you. Big mood, she feels the same way but she is too close to having a happy moment to fuck this up right now. Anyhow Bobby on the school twitter feed is providing an excellent target for all the mean comments. So you get cuddly silence. Not her normal sullen silence.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Snerks when she spots the tweet about bobby and pixie and is very much trying not to fall apart laughing , she's failing though . but she leans up long enough to kiss you again before back to tweeting.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie, twitter warlord, accepts the spoils of her conquest in the form of a kiss from her girlfriend. She could get use to this, which is likely to give her bad nightmares later. Life is rough. Right now twitting barbs at Bobbie.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey She might not Rachel is still suffering from Big emotion and has no intention of leaving Ellie right now.. if anything she's gonna crawl into bed with her and cuddle all night.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
There is a snort of laugh at what Ellie is reading when Pixie responds and burns Bobby so good. Gotta Respect game. "Oh she is going to stab someone with that spooky ass knife of hers." she notes in amusement and nuzzles inhaling your scent from your hair. She gets the sense, touching, you are probably staying the night. No complaints about holding you like a spiky teddybear.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey She looks up and then she waves her hand without a word the blanket pulls back and starts to wrap booth of them up. What's more she slowly changes booth their outfits to t-shirt and panties well Ellie at least. "

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
A bit of a start when the clothes shift with Rachel's power usage then she relaxes and settles in. Skimming tweets, skimming tweets. Massive eye-roll from Ellie. She holds her phone out, deftly holding it for a selfie. Then she leans down and kisses you and takes the photo she twits back to burn Bobby with a finishing move quality.

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey giggles when he spots that " that was nice " she says " Sway burn " She says softly before she slides that t-shirt up slightly so she can directly kiss your stomach lightly before she leans back down on top. She frowns " What the hell that's not your name though how is that funny? "

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
For a minute there Ellie is distracted "very shway." she murmurs and then wraps an arm around you and looks at her phone "Oh.. eh yeah I bet a lot of his meme bullshit is going to be confusing. I use this site if I don't understand memes.. there are so many new ones" she shows you the site with the Oh My God Karen meme. "It's from a movie, mean girls.. it's actually a solid response from the Snowcone." game has to respect game. "I won't tell him that though, he is both a teacher and a dork and dating a student I think. Jesus zombie christ..." pause "We also have to watch Mean Girls.. and many other pop culture movies together to get you caught up."

Marvel Girl has posed:
Rachel Grey Grins " Only if we watch it naked " she says simply and giggles " Kidding " she says softly and moves up a little so she can snuggle better and nods " Ahh okay .. umm what's a movie? "

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie mmms thoughtfully, she is one handedly crafting the finale of the thread she figures. Then she hits send. "Movies?" her eyes wide. She leans and snags the remote for the TV in the corner, totally positioned to be watched from the bed. No huge screen or 4K but still. She fidgets with the remote and finds Mean Girls. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAOmTMCtGkI) "This is a movie.." settling to cuddle and watch your first movie with you.
