---

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie is in his room, and sent Jay a text message asking him to come by and chat with him. He is finishing up his after action report for the incident that happened earlier.

Icarus has posed:
It isn't often that Sam sends a message asking to meet up. He's usually busy doing work things. He knows Sam has mentioned wanting to get together a few times to chat so he opts to drop his homework and head to meet up with Sam at his room. Let's be honest, he didn't want to do his homework anyway. This was a perfect excuse.

There was a light knock on the door then Jay just opened it, if it wasn't locked. If it was locked, he tried to open it then knocked again. Continuously. Non stop.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie 's door is not locked, and as Jay comes in, he looks over, and says "Come have a seat, some things I need to talk to you about some good things, some soso things and some weird things. He tells his brother he goes to his mini fridge grabs a soda, and offers Jay one as well.

Icarus has posed:
Jay gives a nod at the offered soda, wandering in and shutting the door behind him. He doesn't lock it since Sam hadn't. He moves to sit on the edge of the bed, accepting the drink and frowning a little.

"People are already whispering that something happened outside. Is that what it's about?" But no, cause Sam had wanted to talk to him before tonight.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well that is part of it, but not the main part of it. Andrea was part of what happened tonight. She was hurt but she will be ok. She may have to spend a day or so in medlab but the healers got to her, and her regeneration in other forms, she should be ok rather soon." He watches his brothers reaction to this."

Icarus has posed:
Although they've spoken a few times, Jay doesn't even know what Andrea's powers. "Damn. I'll want to go see her when we are done here," he mutters with a shake of his head that she got hurt at all.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Will do what Ah can, she did well fighting a creature, that Ah had to let her fight alone to keep us from having yet another deadly opponent to the combat. She will be ok though, and Ah am proud of her showing there. " He sighs and says "Ok now for the two things Ah originally wanted to talk to you about. Will start with the simple one. You want to bus tables at the club for some spending cash?"

Icarus has posed:
Now that sounds more like the stories Jay has heard about Xavier's. Fighting things trying to attack the school. It wasn't something he had really wanted to be a part of, thus his reluctance to come here. Then he finds out Andrea was out there in the thick of it. He already was impressed with her talent, was growing more so when he learned she seemed to be a genuinely nice person which he did not expect of a star, and now she was willing to put herself in harms way for others.

"Yeah, I can do that. I need something. Don't want to strain Ma and you know she'd be trying to send me money."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Yea, Ah talked her into letting me cover that at least." He will admit to his brother. Told her Ah was going to help ya get a job, and let me deal with you having money till you had a job. You should have enough if ya want to send some back you can, we can send yours and mine back at the same time. " He sighs and sips his drink. "Ok... Jay.... Ah am going to tell you something Ah aint told Ma, and Ah want your word you won't tell her.

Icarus has posed:
At the suggestion about the money, Jay nods and gives a wry grin. "You knew I was gonna send some home, huh?" He had considered himself the provider for the family since Sam had left. He wasn't going to let Ma do everything on her own. It just wasn't how they did things as Guthries.

Then things take a turn that has him growing more serious. "That doesn't sound good. But alright."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Been sending some home since Ah got a job, and would not expect anything less from you little brother.... OK, you know Ah have been to other worlds and realms exposed to magic and such over my time here. Well it seems the magic has left a bit of a mark on me somewhere along the way.." He sighs and decided to just get it out. "Ah was fighting sentinels with a team from the school. One got the drop on us, and shot a spear out at Kitty. AH knocked her out of the way, and the spear hit me... It killed me, and Ah came back. Kitty said Ah was gone a few minutes, the spear went right through my chest where my heart is." He rubs at the area still when he talks about it. "She pulled the spear out and put it through another sentinel, and had to keep fighting, and then she looked up, and Ah was blasting through a sentinel. Ah remember knocking her out of the way, and then waking up on the roof top.

Icarus has posed:
Silence.

Jay is staring at him a bit wide eyed as he tells his tale. So many thoughts racing through his head, so much information, so many questions! He waits until the story is done though, not interrupting. Then he tries to figure out where to start.

"So...is it because of the stuff you've been exposed to? Or...are you like me? You just get better and wake up?" Cause that was what happened with Jay, if he managed to get to that point at all. Usually he never even blacked out like that first time.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Ah aint fully sure, Illyana detected some magic on me, and thought that was what it was, but it maybe like you. The part that makes me think it is more magic, is Ah don't heal faster at all from normal wound. Ah have died that time, and perhaps a second time, but it is not fully sure if Ah died then or not. Ah prefer not to find out if it happens alot or just the once or twice, but Ah didn't want to worry Ma, and figured you might hear about it now that your here."

Icarus has posed:
"Yeah, this place is just like any other school. Rumors fly." Jay considers a moment, dropping his gaze down to his lap and then back to his brother. "I'm glad you got better. The fact you don't heal faster? Maybe it is magic or something you got exposed to in your adventures. Just, yeah, do me a favor and don't test it anymore." The irony of him asking that is not lost on him.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks at him, and says "Ah'll try not to die, if you try the same." He looks at his brother, and says "Not sure what Ah would do without ya little brother, love ya even if ya drive me bonkers sometimes." He tryie to lighten up the moment.

Icarus has posed:
Jay has to look away again. Partially cause of embarassment since they both know his history. "I..." He isn't sure he can make that promise. He finally looks at Sam and offers. "I'll try. That's the best I can do."

Then he does give a slight smile. "I haven't even begun to drive you bonkers. Wait until I report to work. Thank God for nepatism."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie chuckles a bit and says "From blood and non blood family both. He looks to his brother, and says "Truth be told, originally got into the club, not only cause thought Ah would enjoy it, and could help people with it, but cause the girl Ah was seeing liked going there." He smirks a bit "Wrote up a way where Ah thought Ah could make money with it and sent it to berto.

Icarus has posed:
"From the letters, you seem to be enjoying it. Figure he helped with the opening capital and business advice or...?" Jay asks, not sure of the details. The letters hadn't been quite that specific. He does have to shake his head a little though. "Always a girl, isn't it."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie chuckles and says "Oh little brother the dumb ass things ah have done for girls." he shakes his head a bit to this. "Basicly, Bobby owns, it but lets me run it and do what Ah want with it. Ah make sure he gets at least some profit from it, but he also has me use a lot of the profit to help the neighborhood. There are a few pretty good local bands that play there, might be able to find some folks to play with if your wanting to work with some folks up here.

Icarus has posed:
"Maybe." Nice not definitive answer from Jay. He shrugs again as he takes a sip of his soda before continuing. "It's not just the singing. Better when you're friends with the rest of the band. And this is New York. So it's a whole different level from back home. Not sure I'm ready for that leap but we'll see. Andrea had mentioned she was going to be doing a show there soon. Wanted me to come along."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Yea she mentioned something about that too me too. Something about dessert afterwards as well." He looks to his brother, and says "I know you can drive a car, did you get any chance to learn to drive my old dirt bike?"

Icarus has posed:
"Yeah, I can ride a dirt bike. Four-wheeler too. Not that I see a four-wheeler in New York. She mentioned dessert, I think?" Jay tries to remember then nods. "Yeah, she did." He shrugs. "Didn't think anything of it. Figure I should try to make friends." The Julia blinders may make him unaware of someone perhaps wanting more than that ever.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods his head and says "If you end up needing to get somewhere, Ah got the station wagon, and a rebuilt bike with side car. Bike is nicer looking than the station wagon, but wagon can at least carry more people or stuff.

Icarus has posed:
"You have a bike with a sidecar? I have got to see this. Not right this second but tomorrow or something," Jay says with a shake if his head. That is an image that is going to be forever burned into his brain now. Station wagon just reminds him of home and Ma. They had one when he was younger. But really, not a good look for a young man. Or anyone.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods and says "Yea, it has been a fun ride, ah let Captain America borrow it for a race we had up here a while back and even took it out on a date not to long ago.

Icarus has posed:
"Same girl you bought the club for or a new one?" Jay asks. Then something sinks in and he does a double take. "Did you say Captain America borrowed your bike? Like *THE* Captain America?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Yea, he came up for a get together we had. We work with them on occasionally Kitty knows them better, we had Cap, The Wasp, and Iron man all up here for the cook out." He tells his little brother "A different girl. The club one.... well she is still around here, but she and Ah are just friend. " He will bring up his phone and shows a picture of Namorita. "Thats the one took out on the bike, but she and Ah just went out a few times.

Icarus has posed:
"She's pretty. Are...her ears pointed?" Not that Jay is judging. It is just a question as he catches the angle. After all, he has giant red wings behind him at the moment so he can't judge ears. Or anything else for that matter.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods and says "And wings on her ankles, she is Atlantian, Submariner's cousin." He will tell his little brother. You know, Ah should set you up to taking some dance classes with Stevie, they have helped me out alot."

Icarus has posed:
"I don't need lessons. I can dance just fine," Jay says, a tad bit offended his brother thinks he needs help. Certainly he's not great but he does have a good sense of rhythm and doesn't embarass himself.
