SO WHAT IF I HAVEN'T EVEN MADE 400 COMMENTS WITH LORNA

[altersattract]

AJ plays Vincent, Klaus and Lorna. But you can ask about whatever whatever!

So even though Lorna is about the same age/not that much older than Charles's XMFC "kids," her level of experience makes her much more of an adult. And given that the rest of the mutants in camp are the Young X-Men kids, the Evo kids and, like, Breeze (and Ricochet, who stays away from being part of the community), that makes Lorna... pretty much the only other adult mutant in camp that Charles has met other than Erik. And Erik, as we all know, is... complicated.

ANYWAYS that adds up to Lorne being super groovy -- she's smart, witty, independent, sharp... And yes, attractive. Which was kind of a terrible moment of realization. Because as awkward-turtle as Charles can be, he does have a definite sense of appropriate/inappropriate, and hitting on your BFF-whom-you-might-have-kind-of-been-emotionally-married-to-and-still-are-ridiculously-attracted-to's daughter, even if she's from an alternate universe, is... pretty squicky.

But now that we have that out of the way, he'd like to get to know Lorna better and learn about her world-traveling ways and hear her stories and just... yeah. Get to know her. Though obviously nothing like Erik's "wtf I have a daughter now how does I family" experience, there still is a similar sort of pull for Charles. It feels like an opportunity, kind of like how it is with Evo!Kurt.

Soooo you told me about things like one world where Erik and Charles ended up on the same side, and then the one where Erik let Charles die so he could bang Moira but... What is the general overall baggage/preconceptions for Charles and Erik that Lorna is coming into camp with? ...was that even grammar?

GOSH.

I don't have a lot of canon so I've been sketching out headcanon and stuff. I assume Lorna was on the 'good' side but also more of an independent agent and there are other stuff etc. But she knows Charles and Erik were once on good terms, and I think she probably knows their bffls status. That seems to be true across all universes even when Erik does bad things. Lorna is a believer that people across the 'verse can be very similar just with different backgrounds (or at least, in a lot of 'verses so).

CLOSE FRIENDS GONE BAD . . . also I assume Charles was nice to her in her world but she wonders if Charles knew she was Erik's daughter :|a but also she mostly knows him in passing.

SO HOW DOES CHUCK FEEL ABOUT EVERYONE EXPECTING HIM TO BE OLD AND BALD ...
