It's called a door. [/so helpful]

Is it a threadjack, if there's no thread yet?

[excessivehubris]

[Charles is enroute but has his datafeed open to see who Alex might have already spoken with. Logan ... shouldn't you be creeping on helping Jean?]

Logan! He's one of us.

alex will be the real threadjacker :|

[slicesanddices]

[been there, done that, even took her shopping, now she's busy being all mushy with scott and he hates his life]

You know this guy?

Well, Alex is rude like that.

[excessivehubris]

[Does hating life involve drinking? I don't mean polite drinking, I mean drinking because as soon as he reaches Alex and learns some more truths, he's going to be hating his life as well.]

He is one of my students. One ... one of my team.

it's true. runs in the family.

[slicesanddices]

[... when doesn't it involve drinking? you're welcome to come misery loves company it up with him, prof]

Convenient.

The Summers are a special lot.

[excessivehubris]

[Serious drinking, Logan. There might be table top dancing involved.]

His name is Alex Summers and ...

[Oh look, Logan you are around for the birth of a clue as the names and power types hit him between square between the eyes. Like a stop and stand for a long minute and just.]

Oh dear God. [He breaths. These time lines are killing him.]

[slicesanddices]

[That'll stop Logan in his tracks. So deadpan:]

Summers?

It just keeps getting better doesn't it Logan?

[excessivehubris]

Yes and his mutation ... involves lasers. Red lasers.

his life is a series of trials

[slicesanddices]

[are you ready for logan to insult future-you's age?] ... So what, he's Cyke's gramps?

Pass the whiskey

[excessivehubris]

[Have a glare Logan. Its the expression he usually reserves for Erik. Now you can have it for a bit.]

I come from nineteen sixty, Logan not eighteen sixty.

[slicesanddices]

That would be great gramps.

[excessivehubris]

... how drunk are you, Logan?

[slicesanddices]

Not enough.

After talking to Alex ...

[excessivehubris]

I understand the sentiment, my friend.

[slicesanddices]

Always more where that came from.

[excessivehubris]

[He wants a drink. Actually he'd like to just crack into a cask, shove in a straw and drink until he passed out, rolled off the cask and cracked his head open.

However, that would be neither wise nor particularly useful to anyone, so he'll stick to tea.]

Tempting but I believe temperance would be a more prudent course of action. Have a care yourself, Logan. I'd rather not spend yet another week or more waiting to see if you return from the dead; again.
