[Text/Action] 3rd Form

Who: Mystique and OTA
Broadcast: Text/Yes
Action: On the Iskaulit
When: 6 June and onwards

I will holding training sessions for those who want to learn to defend themselves or fight, and those that want sparring practice or to learn new forms of combat. This is limited to hand to hand and melee weapon use due to our surroundings.

Training will be held daily between 9am and 5pm, located at the gym on the Iskaulit although for those who are more confident in their abilities it can be moved to the obstacle course. First come first serve for those wanting tuition.

Wear appropriate clothing and bring whatever liquids or food you require for the session.



[True to her word Mystique is found at the Iskaulit gym throughout the week, and when she is not training with someone she is doing her own practice during her hours there.]

No, I know, I'm - making conversation. [and maybe feeling a little nostalgic, because that was back before Cuba and while things had already gone to hell, it wasn't as bad as after it had arrived. He rubs at his neck a little awkwardly] That's how Charles and I trained.

[he catches up, jogging along side her. This was fairly easy, all things considered, and a decent warm up for whatever else she had planned. He usually didn't bother much with the warming up part]

[he appreciates your neutrality, Mystique, especially considering he knows how she feels about it. Either way, though, he tries to keep mentioning that much as vaguely as he can, all things considered]

It was, yeah. I'm still fast, but not - nearly as fast as I could be before. [instead of that his strength had been enhanced far past what he thought possible, among all the changes he went through] Everything but that was enhanced, more or less.

[what an incredibly and surprisingly complicated question. He doesn't answer for a few moments as he lets the question settle long enough to consider it]

Not as much as I used to. [is the answer he finally settles on. He'd been young and foolish to think he'd had it bad then - and he'd only gone and made it worst for himself. He never blamed anyone else for that. In his worst moments alone, he'd convinced himself he'd had it coming] I didn't miss having the ability so much as . . . mm, I guess everything else.

[training with Charles, helping him with the other mutants - that's what he really missed]

[he is definitely accepting what she said and moving on, because any further involves thinking about his Raven and that's - awkward. Incredibly awkward and he isn't going to do that.

He's great with moving on to a more neutral topic]
I don't . . . know a Sabertooth. I've never, uh - tried to fight like this, either. [a considering pause] I know I can take a hit or two, at least. [Thanks, Logan]

. . . there's someone worse than Logan? [oh, he knows Logan. This is the look of someone who knows Logan well enough to make faces about knowing him. He's mostly taking shots at his personality, though, because - well, he isn't here to say anything about it] Wait - bigger? [a pause] Bigger than I am?

[he doesn't startle; he's used to her power, after all, so when he glances over - and then up, it's only surprise at the appearance of an unfamiliar mutant who is surprisingly taller than he is - maybe even bigger. That was a new thing.

He can't help but huff a little bit, though]
If I run into him it won't be by choice, I'm sure. But thank you for the warning.

I have a slowly growing list of people I may throw out of an air lock if they were to ever show up here. [it's half a joke, but in some cases he would actually, seriously consider it. Of course, that was if he got to them first.

He glances at her curiously, then shakes his head]
Logan's . . . arrival is a little complicated, but it was just him.
beathach: (24)

[personal profile] beathach 2016-06-11 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
[it's out of his mouth before he can stop himself:] I'd never put you on that list.

[oh Hank, your bias is showing. He blinks at her before he immediately looks away, and he drags a hand over his face, muttering something that sounds suspiciously like idiot directed at himself.

But yes, Logan conversation. Let's focus on that]
No, he - uh, he knocked on the door to the mansion. [are you surprised? It gets better] When I wouldn't let him in he forced his way in anyway, and when I tried to stop him he punched me in the face.

[there it is, classic Logan]

[bless you Mystique, Hank is not ready for that particular conversation.

He rolls his eyes as well, though there is a bit of fondness in his voice. He liked Logan, for all that their first meeting went a little crazy. It'd be a lie if he said he didn't miss him, either]
I'm so glad that that's a common affliction across the timelines. [fond, but deadpanned]
beathach: (96)

[personal profile] beathach 2016-06-13 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Logan was apart of the X-Men. Just . . . not our X-Men, as complicated as that sounds. [he glances at her with a bit of a wry, amused expression] He came from our future to warn us about something.

Our X-Men . . . what's left of it, it's just Charles and I.
beathach: (95)

[personal profile] beathach 2016-06-14 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, it's certainly the strangest way I've met someone. We didn't believe him at first, either - not until he started saying things he couldn't have known. [mostly, details about Charles' life that not even Hank knew]
beathach: (96)

[personal profile] beathach 2016-06-17 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think he knows what those are. [don't worry he can shit talk Logan and be fond of him all at the same time.

He glances down at her hand and slows himself, and at her question he nods. It's hard to say for sure, they hadn't gotten any sort of signal after the dust had settled, but . . . he had to believe that they'd changed it. The future that had been so bad they'd needed Logan to come back to fix it]
More or less. I don't - know how much it changed, since Logan never came back, but - we know it changed some things for us.
