[Jean:]

[1/3] Know you're feeling weird about mission.
[2/3] Invitation is open any time. Not just tomorrow.
[3/3] Just let me know.

Comments

[1/2] Thanks, I appreciate it.
[2/2] Is it that obvious? Did...Haller tell you?

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

[1/2] What sort of friend would I be otherwise?
[2/3] Despite evidence to the contrary, am actually quite observant.
[3/3] And you've been fairly consistent in avoidance.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Yeah, trying to work through some things. The mission was....it didn't go as well as I'd hoped.

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

[1/3] Through long experience, I can say.
[2/3] They almost never do.
[3/3] Your teammates can help, promise.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but I think they're busy with their own concerns.

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

[1/2] Is that direct knowledge?
[2/3] I'd offer but I have a feeling
[3/3] you're not ready to talk to people who weren't there?

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

(1/2) There's not really much to talk about.
(2/2) This is normal for you guys...I'm just...trying to wrap my head around it and give people their space. It's my problem.

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

[1/4] Normal isn't always good.
[2/4] It's good to take time for yourself.
[3/4] Just don't feel as though you have to isolate yourself.
[4/4] Although needing time alone isn't bad either.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

(1/2) You're right, it's not. And that's what scares me.
(2/2) I guess it feels hard to fit in sometimes, since I'm newer.

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

[1/3] Anything I can do to help?
[2/3] You won't always be new - give it some time.
[3/3] Come out for the drink? I promise I'll stick by you.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

(1/3) Not sure, but thanks for the offer.
(2/3) That's what I'm afraid of. I've already done so much with my powers that I've never had to do before. Messed with people's minds. I don't like it. I don't want to get to the point where I think it's okay. I see the others, like Scott, and they're just numb to it, doing what they feel like they have to do.
(3/3) You shouldn't have to watch me. You should be having fun.

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

[1/6] Any time.
[2/6] People deal with it in different ways.
[3/6]Some become numb, others try to improve responses so that you won't need to be numb.
[4/6]Others like myself simply avoid operational work unless really needed.
[5/6] It takes time to find out where you fit and what works best for you however.
[6/6] That's fine. Although it wouldn't be a burden.

(1/2)Haller says...the X-men need people like me, but I don't want to become numb, like them. I see it and I want to help them, because I'm afraid they'll do something they'll regret. I know it's not my place, and I'm trying so hard not to overstep my bounds like before, with Clarice.
(2/2) Maybe. I'll think about it and let you know? What time?

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

[1/3] They really do. The X-men are only as good as the sum of their parts, and that includes all sorts of people.
[2/3] Being numb is not a good coping mechanism, and frankly it's a good way to get yourself killed.
[3/3] About 6:30pm. Enough time to have had dinner and be done with work.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

(1/4) Maybe.
(2/4) Or innocent people.
(3/4) Okay, I'll think about it and let you know.
(4/4) Thanks for the talk. :)

[1/6] Sing it sister.
[2/6] There are many of us who need extensive therapy.
[3/6] It's getting people to actually go that's the problem.
[4/6] Not that I'm anyone to talk. I overwork like it's going out of style.
[5/6]Any time. Glad I could be here.
[6/6] Get some sleep. Things will hopefully look better in the morning.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

(1/ ) I think overworking seems to be a common problem. I do the same thing. It's just the other stuff that bothers me. Hopefully it'll work itself out.
(2/) Good night :)
