[walkinthruwalls]

What- I?

[ Kitty panicked, patting at the gown on her. She was in a morgue. Dead? But... how? ]

I'm dead? I can't be... we stopped- Was that a dream?

[ She sighed, laying herself back down. Well, if she was dead no point in going anywhere ]

I guess I kind of expected the professor to be here.

[ Nope, definitely not as bad, actually rather nice ]

Yeah, Pyro warned me. [ And there's no love there ]

How'd you know him?

[doomhoops]

[ He busted me out of jail, let me join the CIA, and we stopped the Cuban Missile Crisis. Also, he saw that Pyro conversation. Welcome to his good list, Kitty. ]

He picked me and some other kids up. Trained us. You?

[walkinthruwalls]

Same. Although he was a bit older.

[doomhoops]

Oh. [ he nods ] So you're from 2000-whatever with Scott and the others.

[walkinthruwalls]

And you're from whenever he's from? And I thought Pyro being in the past was weird.

[doomhoops]

1962. It'll get weirder than that. [ Wait til you meet the aliens, Kitty. ]

There's a group of us from '62 and the rest are from around where you are.

[walkinthruwalls]

1962? [ Woah ] Is he seriously high-fiving Magneto?

[doomhoops]

Yeah. [ That is... what even. Thanks, Pyro. ] ...No. Pretty sure Erik would have to be high to get caught high-fiving someone.

[walkinthruwalls]

Erik? [ Yeah, she knew his name but for someone to actually use it that wasn't Xavier? When exactly had it changed? ]

So what's 60's Xavier like?

[doomhoops]

Yeah, Erik. Lehnsherr? [ They weren't even using his codename on the beach :'| ] 'Magneto's some dorky name Raven made up for him.

Uh... kind of lame, but a cool guy, I guess. [ Pause. Headscratch. ] He wears grandpa sweaters.

[walkinthruwalls]

Yeah, one he stuck with. Who's Raven?

Grandpa sweaters? Wow. So, since I'm probably not getting straight answers out of anyone else, how many of us are here?

[doomhoops]

[ Does no one have their normal names in the future? ] 'Mystique'.

Yep. [ A pause, while he tries to mentally collect them all ] From the 2000s - Wolverine, Scott, Pyro, Kurt Wagner, and Rogue. From '62 - Charles, Erik, Mystique, Beast, Sea- Banshee, Azazel and me. Alex Summers. Uh, Havok.

[ Another pause. Okay, this is the part where he gets to sound crazy. ] Actually, there's two of Charles. The other one does like being called Professor though.

[walkinthruwalls]

Oh. [ There's no love there, either ]

That's... a lot of people. [ And a lot that she knows, too ] And it's nice to meet you. [ She'll probably end up sticking with Alex ]

[doomhoops]

You know her? In the future? [ Cuuuriosity. ]

A bunch of us are holed up in the clocktower. [ Charles will probably give that invite, so he'll just give and awkward nod of acknowledgment at the 'nice to meet you' bit. ]

[walkinthruwalls]

Not personally but yeah. [ Is she gonna blow your nice view away? ]

There's a clock tower?

[doomhoops]

[ Oh Kitty. He is post-Cuba. View has already been blown. His voice does drop a bit, hesitant. ] ...She still with Erik? Uh, Magneto?

Yeah, it's the only working clock in the city. Well, only running one, at least.
