I don't think she gets that she has to. She's been told all her life she doesn't have to.

[gustamove]

That is the thing about the world-- you can go through your whole life thinking one way, and then suddenly the rug gets pulled from under your feet and you need to adapt.

[julienned]

I suppose we were lucky. We had our big change when we were younger.

Also our powers are great.

[gustamove]

... Really great.

[julienned]

They are. If we start thinking they're not, they win.

[gustamove]

I know. I always loved mine.

[julienned]

Well I love mine. Present tense.

[gustamove]

I am practicing for the future.

[julienned]

Screw that. Focus on the right here and now. Maybe we can't change your future. Maybe we can't save you from losing your powers, maybe we can't stop us being the last mutants.

But right here and now you have your powers.

[gustamove]

[ it's so cute how you think she won't try to change the future even when you told her no ]

And what are we doing? Here and now?

[julienned]

Well, you're sitting on my bed. The world's not here to bother us at the moment. It's just you and me. And we can be alone here as long as we want. It's not like there's anyone able to make us do something we don't want to do.

[julienned]

[pity one of them is still hooked up to a heart monitor that is currently beeping. ;(]

Aw, hell.

[gustamove]

-- sorry!

[julienned]

We're cursed.

[gustamove]

Maybe this is a sign?

[julienned]

What, we can't defy fate on this one?

[gustamove]

I am sure you can kiss Josh if you really need to get it out of your system.

[julienned]

Ew.

[gustamove]

You will get used to it.

[julienned]

Why do you know that?
