It's - possible. Either way, I mean. I don't really know that much about Erik's past, but -

I think he'd, uh. Say something. If that were the case.

[ladybro]

Wanda would be Quicksilver's sister. [ ... ] She's here, too. But from yet-another world, if you'll believe it.

[beathach]

[why is this other world nonsense so complicated]

I'll believe it. I know . . . Peter has sisters - I met the younger one, very briefly. But as for - code names, or anything like that - he's just a teenager. The only reason we met him was because of Logan.

[ladybro]

She and...Peter [ she will not get used to calling quicksilver by his name, but perhaps it's just easier that way ] were some of the real legacy members of the Avengers. Alongside the other Hawkeye and Captain America.

[ cap's kooky quartet. she looked up to those guys, even if she wouldn't say so aloud. ]

[beathach]

Really? So they weren't X-Men? [he isn't sure what to think about that. He knows the other worlds hold entirely different histories, but at least for Peter . . . but then again, he's basing that off his own world]

[ladybro]

I think the closest they ever got was the Unity Division. Kind of like a joint mutant and human task-force to bridge the gap that had grown between the X-Men and the Avengers, despite the occasional overlap.

[beathach]

Huh. [a part of him is very, very glad that Erik's children were on the right side, as opposed to . . . whatever side Erik was on in other worlds. He can't help but feel guilty about the thought, too] There's a lot of different groups in your world, isn't there.

[ladybro]

Oodles. And a lot of people, too, who don't wanna be a part of any of them. Not that they can be blamed.

You guys have Deadpool?

[beathach]

Ah, yeah, I don't know a lot about it, but - not everyone likes that sort of thing.

[he shakes his head] I don't think so. [that's in his future. Pray for him, Kate]

[ladybro]

Probably for the best. He can be a bit of a headache -- I don't even think he's actually a mutant. Or maybe he is. But damn if he doesn't wanna hang with you guys...

[beathach]

That - I know I don't have the same experiences, but that just seems odd. Considering - who is around back home.

[because him and Charles are the pinnacle of cool guys you want to hang out with, for real]

[ladybro]

He has this whole hate-envy thing going on with Wolverine, I'm pretty sure. It's...weird.

[beathach]

[he snorts] If your Logan is anything like the one I know . . . I can't be too surprised.

[ladybro]

-- Short and angry?

[beathach]

Short? No, he's only a few inches shorter than I am. But - definitely angry. And rude.

[ladybro]

...And always smelling things.

[beathach]

[oh my god. Yes tell him all about Logan's terrible habits]

I don't think he did a lot of that. He did force his way into the mansion when we met. And punched me in the face when I tried to stop him.

[ladybro]

Technically, I once kicked him in his face. Well, a version of him. Didn't slow him down much, predictably.

[beathach]

He is hard to slow down. [he huffs a little, trying not to grin] I threw him across the foyer of the mansion, once I caught up after he punched me. [a little dryly] I might have gotten a little angry.

[ladybro]

[ uhm, wow? having been punched by old man logan, she kinda figures... ]

Dude, you must be really strong.

[beathach]

Ah - well. [he just - sort of shrugs] "Beast" is a very fitting name.

[ladybro]

Sure, but these things are always so relative and -- and Wolverine's Wolverine. You don't get much more intense than him.

[beathach]

Is the - uh, Hank McCoy you know not - er, very strong? [he almost wants to ask if he bickers with Logan, because he sure did that once or twice] But that's true - Logan is . . . very, very intense.

[ladybro]

I've never seen you -- him fight. He always seems so peaceful, usually.

[beathach]

Huh. Well that's . . . familiar, I guess? [how do you talk about yourself from another world] I - don't fight a lot, either.
