Wait, it might not work. Real cookies taste so much better than vegan soy mushroom platypus cookies.

[julienned]

[that's because they are better.]

[blowurmind]

I need to figure out a way to numb his tastebuds for like ten minutes while he's eating those cookies.

[julienned]

[he's a biokinetic so good luck with that.]

[blowurmind]

Oh wait, he'd be able to fix that. Okay, I need to figure out how to make real cookies taste like soy nutburger cookies.

[ well if everyone else can talk to someone who is in a goddamn coma then I can too!!1

she is walking in and is pretty. irritated. so it's a good thing that he's not actually awake to see. ]

Hey.

[julienned]

[IT'S COOL. HE'D BANG THAT.]

[gustamove]

I see that the others left you gifts.

[ they are so... thoughtful... ]

[julienned]

[that's one word for it, yes.]

[mind_over_metal]

I'm giving you the truth. Because you'll have to trust me.

*lifts up his hand to touch the bubble surrounding him again*

Enough to stop protecting me.

[julienned]

I said no!

[gustamove]

I prayed for you -- not that you are actually religious or anything. I just have no idea what to do besides throwing the Phoenix into a tree.

[julienned]

[fortunately, he is an atheist otherwise he would joke that he thinks that he is God.]

[gustamove]

[ God falls into comas apparently ]

Just-- do any of them realize what she did to you? To Victor? Sure, it was the Phoenix and not her. But it happened.

[julienned]

[THEY COULD.]

[mind_over_metal]

*calmly*

How come?

[julienned]

Just because I could destroy you with a thought doesn't mean I should. Just because I could kill everyone here doesn't mean I should. I am in control, and I'll keep that control or die trying.

I'm Hellion of the X-Men and I don't hurt innocent people. Even if I don't like them.

I drop that and you will die. I won't allow that.

[mind_over_metal]

*continuing just as calmly*

Why would I die?

[fuzzybluebamf]

[WE'LL FIND A WAY! MAYBE.]

[julienned]

You really don't get it. What exactly that is. You can barely cope with it in drip feeds and after I've dealt with the worst of it; I know you can't cope with it as it is now.

[mind_over_metal]

*his hand still resting against the bubble*

This isn't what will protect me.

*nods his head slightly toward the painful, desolate landscape surrounding them*

What you're showing me right now isn't all that's out there.

[gustamove]

... [ squishes his cheeks ]

[julienned]

Yeah?

[mind_over_metal]

You've told me who you are, Hellion. I trust in that. Let it down.

[julienned]

That's why I won't! This isn't something I'm inflicting on anyone.
