Desperate times.

[takingkarabusiness]

Did it work out?

[beathach]

[he huffs out a bemused sound]

Somehow. It was sort of a - last minute plan without a lot of room for improvising, but they managed.

[takingkarabusiness]

I think that speaks to your skill.

And maybe a little luck.

[beathach]

[he shakes his head, quirking a grin]

I just interrupted signals. I wasn't actually down there for the prison break part. If anyone deserves the credit, it's Peter. Without him, the plan wouldn't have worked at all.

[takingkarabusiness]

Peter?

[beathach]

Another mutant. He's . . fast. Really, really fast.

[takingkarabusiness]

Really? Sounds like a great guy to have on your team.

[beathach]

Mm, he's a good kid.

[takingkarabusiness]

Is he going to help with the school?

[beathach]

Cleaning would go faster if he did. [a lot faster] But - no, he's young enough to be a student.

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe he will be.

[beathach]

Here's hoping. Though he has amazing control over his powers already. And - I can be fast, but he makes it look effortless. I thought he was a teleporter at first.

[takingkarabusiness]

How'd he get to be so good?

[beathach]

I imagine it has to do with using his powers all the time. He's, uh . . . not really the kind of person who can sit still.

[takingkarabusiness]

I would think not!

[beathach]

[he nods]

It's impressive and tiring all at once.

[takingkarabusiness]

Then be thankful he isn't your son.

He isn't, right?

[beathach]

Wh—no, no. I don't have any children.

[takingkarabusiness]

Not until you get the school running. Then you'll have like fifty.

[beathach]

I don't think I'll have that many.

[takingkarabusiness]

Really? Why?

[beathach]

Well - not for a while, at least. I don't know if any of us can handle that many right away.

[takingkarabusiness]

Then maybe it'll be a cumulative number.

[beathach]

Maybe. Though it's honestly hard to predict just how many we'll get. Mutants are sort of a . . . mm, we're waiting to see how the world reacts? If that makes sense?
