[Rogue shook her head a little.]

Older, yeah. But I'd prefer not ta think of him as you. Same powers, maybe, some similar history, but I've learned it's a mistake ta look at people from alternate universes the same way ya look at the ones from your own.

[Since they were being direct and all. She continues to watch him closely.]

[grandstanding]

[That's honestly a relief, and it does show a bit in his expression. His shoulders relax slightly, and he uncrosses his arms.]

Yes... that could get messy. [The huge differences involved in some cases make it hard to think of realities being similar in more than appearance and players. Even if he were to meet himself from his own world, the changes he's gone through since the library and Kyriakos would not go unnoticed.] Even small things make a world of difference.

[touchofrogue]

That's true. [Simple.

She sighs a little, one gloved hand going up to touch the now healed over mark on her neck. This had been a pretty big deal, getting the names on her her skin. She wasn't sure where she wanted this to go, but didn't feel it was right to just walk off either.] So you were sayin' 'bout other places before this?

[grandstanding]

Ah, yes. This is my third time in another universe. This one has been markedly less dangerous than those were. [Not a reassuring statement, but not the worst he could say either.]

[touchofrogue]

Hey, don't jinx it. [She'd take boredom over 'ohgodohgod we're all gonna die' 9 times out of 10.

...okay. 6 times out of 10. It was still a clear majority.] So, what's that they say - third time's the charm?

[grandstanding]

[If by "charm" she means "the one where he'll actually get to annihilate the ones responsible", he hopes so. Instead, he just sighs.]

Or third time lucky. Frankly, I'm more than a little annoyed, given that I had finally made it home before this happened.

[touchofrogue]

Mmm. [A nod.] Sounds frustratin'.

[Tilting her head slightly.] An' you remembered? Your times before, once ya got back home.

[grandstanding]

The second time, yes. The first time... [After everything they went through in that hellish library, finally getting their key home, delivered their wishes... it turned out to be empty. Those wishes didn't come to pass. They were dumped back into the middle of Cuba and their memories didn't come with them. Oh, their scars did, but somehow it never occurred to Erik to wonder where they had come from. Some sinister smoothing over of the gaps, removing any sense something had happened. Had it not been for Kyriakos, he doubts he would ever have regained those memories on his own.

After a pause, he shakes his head.] No.

But it's worth mentioning that losing memories was part and parcel of what those places were. Everyone lost their memories there.

[touchofrogue]

Yeah? [She's heard a bit about places like that.] Sounds annoyin'.

[To say the least.]

[grandstanding]

That is one word for it. [There are plenty of others he could use.]

I was taken to the first one eleven years ago, and the second just recently. My understanding is the first one was destroyed, and no longer exists. [There's an unvoiced 'Good riddance' in his tone.]

[touchofrogue]

Huh. [Her brow furrows as she considers, but there's no real connection that she can see..] Let me guess - ya were in some kind of enclosure run by people ya couldn't get to -- an' your powers were affected?

[grandstanding]

I'd hesitate to call them people. [The Portraits, especially, never struck him as more than malevolent beings playing with their toys.] But essentially, yes.
