Sorry to ask so soon after the one you did me last night, but as you're already signed up I was wondering if you'd mind being my volunteer this Saturday. Since the unfortunate kitchen incident I've decided it might be good to get a start on Understanding My Powers, and Moira and I figured it might be better to practice with a set that aren't prone to property damage. Think you can spare the time? I'll bring the steak upfront this go around.

I think you forgot to mention something.

If you've slept with Dani, I'm going to take the wrench to you and start removing parts.

Hey now

While my sexual prowess has been known to trigger the smoke alarm, even I draw the line at picking a public kitchen in a busy school right before dinner as the perfect place to make it with a girl who had a screaming match with my roommate a week before. A supply closet in Medlab, maybe, but not the kitchen.

And now that's out of the way, do you think you could have mentioned the bit about mainlining nightmares at some point? Just because I can hazard a guess as to the type of mutant power doesn't mean I actually know what it is. Rahne practically had to carry me down to Medlab, and although she's the right size for a crutch, this is getting ridiculous.

Oh, her power's back to working? Sweet.

Wait, Dani's power was broken? (And mate, tell me you didn't just referr to the most traumatic experience of my life in months this week as "Sweet.")

She was pregnant. Hormones shifted her power more to a sort of receptive empathy. Good to see that things are back to normal.

Oh, she's still got the control of a drunken buffalo trying to ice skate uphill, but at least that's back to what passes for normal.

Well, I don't think it was altogether her fault -- though there was a disappointing lack of sex, I probably startled her when I grabbed her to keep her head from cracking on the tile. Didn't actually bite her because of the gloves, but it probably felt a bit creepy . . . and that's assuming my own incredibly unhelpful powers didn't do something to trigger it. The stupid buggers.

And I'd have some pointed comments about how unreassuring it is to hear that randomly shoving scenes of terror in people's faces is normal, but being the bloke that's already on record for two unprovoked attacks on staff and students I don't have much room to complain.

... I have access to food, really!

Seriously, that sounds like a good idea. Mine are relatively manageable and not always-on like Forge's. I'll be there.

Beauty. And I'm glad you can swing a training session, too.

As for the food, indulge me. It allows me some small illusion of reciprocity in our relationship. (No worries, I'm not the one paying for it.)

...I think I'm confused now. But all right.
