I don't really care about most of the planet.

[ Not that she thinks that'll make Kara feel better. Raven's focus - usually her only focus - is being around enough to see mutants survive. She's not ashamed of the lengths she'd go to in order to make sure that happened.

Turning her head away, she transforms back. ]


... Thank you.

[ yes let's not go there ]

The whole thing with Indigo is too complicated, anyway. My adoptive sister killed my aunt and now my uncle is off with Indigo as the universe's worst power couple. Not looking forward to dealing with any of that when I get back.

[ Raven just shrugs a shoulder. ]

My best friend paralysed my only family and then I abandoned said family on a beach to run off with my best friend. Then, ten years later, that friend tried to murder me.

[ Aha. ]

Everything gets complicated. That's how it works.

No. I'm not.

I'm not... Like him. It's complicated.

It's a silly word, anyway.

You know, some worlds have like, organized groups? Well, of course you do. You guys kind of have a team, right? All of it's so new to me where I'm from. Kal-El has his city and I have mine, and if there are other superpowered good guys, we don't really know them yet.

We were a team. The X-Men. [ But now they're not, because they're all dead. ] There are more of us out there, we just don't know where.

On the one hand, that's not a very egalitarian name, on the other the "X-People" doesn't have the same ring to it.

Are you wanting to do anything with the school?

It works. Xavier, X-Men - there's a point to it.

I don't know.

Fair enough. I make an okay personal assistant but I don't think I'd do well like, influencing the children or anything like that. I babysat my boss's son for the day and he ended up on a train that was about to explode so I'm just saying maybe I don't have the best track record right now.

I'm terrible with children.

[ Raven shakes her head, glancing away. ]

I'm terrible with most people, really, but kids... No. It feels like only yesterday that I was one myself.

"Dermatologists hate her", am I right?

[ wait you're probably not from an era with shitty internet ads ]

What year are you from?
athru: (it's just another night)

[personal profile] athru 2016-06-28 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know what that means.

1973.

[personal profile] takingkarabusiness 2016-06-28 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. I'm from 2016.

And it was a dumb reference. Ads, like in magazines? Have gotten really awful. They try to get people to read them by making false claims like "dermatologists hate this woman because she figured out that bananas hold the secret of youth".

Anyway. It's not as funny if you have to explain it.
athru: (everything's different)

[personal profile] athru 2016-06-28 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Raven wants to laugh at how ridiculous it is, because isn't that why Trask wanted her? Because of her DNA, her abilities, her youthfulness and her transformations? In forty years time it would be commonplace joking and it makes her snort. ]

No, you're right, it loses it's humour.

Sorry.

athru: (hoping for an end)

You don't have to apologise for everything. You don't know me, you're going to make mistakes.

[personal profile] takingkarabusiness 2016-06-29 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe, but I can still do better.

Anyway, the time thing is so interesting. I was supposed to land around 1980. My cousin did, but I didn't end up showing up until 2004.
athru: (and though it hurts to breathe)

[personal profile] athru 2016-06-29 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
And what did your cousin think about you being late?

'Surprise, we're related', right? Been there.
