Scenes that will never appear in a story 1
Just because they aren't plausible or they're just snippets of something or if they're just me being petty about things. I think my favorite part of the Alchemy-verse has always been the way I can see into it... it's very real to me in a way. I don't always see stories, I see moments in time.
Maybe I have too active an imagination. Anyway...
Setting: Dinner at the X-Mansion - X-Men are present, students are not (which, let's face it, is going to be the way of things for most stuff that happens at the X-mansion. It's probably why Marvel editors killed off so many of the mutants in the first place. Too much shit to deal with there and they wanted to focus on the X-characters. Whatev.) I always hear this with Emma and Jean engaging in some of the most sickly sweet voicing in the history of man.
Emma: Relationships are always fascinating, aren't they. The way people interact, the differences from how they are in public to how they are in private, and even the ridiculous little petnames they come up with for each other. As a telepath and a therapist I would be remiss if I were NOT interested in such things.
Jean: Your point?
Emma: I admit to a certain amount of morbid curiosity in regards to your relationship with Remy. He really doesn't seem to be your type.
Jean: You don't know him, Emma, so you really couldn't say.
Emma: I know enough about him.
Jean: You don't, Emma.
Remy: I do so love being talked about as though I weren't here.
Emma: Humor me, then, won't you, Jean?
Jean: I'm really not inclined to, Emma. Either get to your point or move on.
Emma: Have you pet names for one another? They do say quite a lot about one's relationship and how one sees their partner.
Jean: You want to know my pet name for Remy?
Emma: Indulge me.
Jean: Big McLargehuge.
Bobby: [spews mouthful of water across table, drenching Logan]
Logan: [wipes face off and glances at Kurt, next to him] Yeah. That was worth it.
I often wonder if I'm unfair to Emma but, the way I see it, she got Mary Sued out the wazoo during Morrison's run and that trend has continued. Plus, in light of figuring shit out for this round of Alchemy stories I see Emma's great weakness is Jean. Jean is stronger, Jean is more powerful, Jean is more loved... all the things Emma wants to be, Jean is. In all honesty, I admit that I give way too much power in her dealings with Emma. My own petty responses to what I felt was petty storytelling. There are plenty of scenarios in my head where Jean is petty and catty right back. Jean will never be happy with Scott/Emma or the way it went down. Ever.
And there's enough bitchery in her to turn the screws the best way she knows how... against Scott. For the most part, Jean has Emma's number... although Flashpoint picked at a scab that I hope to explore further.
