Her Bags are Packed, She's Ready to Go

Sep 21, 2012 21:35

Consider this a lesson in life. There is good and there is evil. Loved ones will always be a target. Bane's words echo in her mind as she finishes packing her suitcase. After a night of trying to explain just how extensive her powers are to her concerned parents, she leaves them a note and slides out the back door.

*sees her sitting there and approaches the car while.she's looking the other way*

*peeks.in and sees the packed bags, so he opens the door and climbs into the.passenger seat* What the hell do you think you're doing?

::she groans when he enters and puts her head against the steering wheel:: Damn it, I knew I should have locked that door.

I'm leaving Logan. I'm not endangering my family anymore. While I'm close to them. And open with my powers. Mixing with crowds like - like this. They're never going to be safe. I have Bane to thank for showing me that.

*lawlz ruining all her plans like a boss* Well, yeah, I work here and you know that. *shrugs like ~~~duh*

Okay, I'm not going to sugarcoat this because I have treated you like a special snowflake for long enough now, you need some tough love right now, and I'm going to give it to you. If you stay, your family is in danger. If you leave, your family is in danger. Not just from Bane or Crane or any of the other craziest running around town but from people who just don't want freaks like us in their world. But your power gives you a chance to protect the people you love. Leaving is just going to hurt us more than it will help. Please tell me you can see that.

You don't need to sugarcoat anything for me Logan. Life sure as hell isn't sugarcoated. All I know is if I leave, no ones going to have any reason to connect me with them. ::she says this, but it comes out hollow, his words ringing too close to truth:: You can't tell me you've never run. Never left it all behind. ::she wipes her eye with her sleeve then turns to him:: Logan, what you said before. About being a shoulder to cry on. Someone to trust and turn to. You have to know I consider you that too. I mean, god - you were my first crush! ::shakes her head and buries it in her arms against the steering wheel again, a sheepish smile creeping in with the tears:: Forget I said that.

thebest_thereis September 22 2012, 23:43:43 UTC

You mean other than the fact that everyone here already knows who your family is? Or that you have one? You don't think your mere.existance won't connect your family to you? It will, Jean, I promise you that. *takes a deep breath, trying to keep himself in check* Yeah, I've run. And it did so much for me, didn't it? Turned me into a goddamn bitter mess who spends his time trying to get drunk even though he knows he can't. You can't live your life in hiding. It's not really living.

*smiles at the crush thing* See? Can't just tell me something like that and leave. That's just rude. Besides, you're long past any crushes, think of who you're leaving behind. Amd I don't just mean your family

::she lets out a long sigh:: Thor'll be fine without me. He's had more women than there are grains of sand. I mean, he left Asgard to be with a girl and he never even mentions her anymore. Who am I, in the long run? If I go, there'll just be another pretty maiden to follow at his side. And Johnny... he has Marie.

::when she turns back to look at him, her eyes are wide and sad, her tear stained face pale:: Logan, I can't be with them every second of the day. How can I ever really protect them? It just seems... it just seems that the farther I am, the less chance all of this has at seeping over to them.

::she goes quiet and rests her head on his shoulder:: I don't know how you've done it. All these years. Dealing with this.

thebest_thereis September 23 2012, 10:58:54 UTC

Ooc: uh yeah so I wrote a super long reply that apparently never went through I'M ANGRY

I spent plenty of time not dealing with it. Learn from my mistakes, running doesn't solve anything. You think it's going to help your parents when they realize you're missing? Or Johnny when you're not there for him when he wakes up? Yeah, he has Marie, he's got a lot of friends, one hell of a support system but if you're not here then I can tell you that if you ever come back, things wouldn't be the same. And as much as you might not mean to do it, you can't discredit your boyfriend like that. The fact that he's not running his mouth off about his ex should make you HAPPY. He chose you, he wants to be with you, over anyone else here, and that means something, dammit. It means something when you fond that special-- *cuts himself off, shaking his head*

All I'm saying is, you can't protect anyone at all by leaving. Sometimes bad things happen, Jean. We have to be prepared for that, whether we want to or not.

(ooc: Noooo, ugh, I hate when that happens >:( Totes angry for you)

Logan... ::his words reach down to her very core and she can't shake their truth:: I don't know how to do this. I can't protect them all the time and people I love keep getting hurt ::sob:: and it feels like my heart is breaking in a thousand pieces. I've always known how complicated and dark people can be, since I was a kid and first slipped inside their minds. But this - this is the first time the world itself feels that dark. And I hate it. I hate it Logan. I'm 18 and I just want to be safe and oblivious and at least be able to pretend, for a minute, that the people I care about are too.

::she gives him a look:: And thinking of pretending, and people I care about being safe... we have a shapeshifter on our hands. She's been posing as Marie and I don't know who else. ::sadly shakes her head:: See... this is exactly what I'm talking about.

thebest_thereis September 24 2012, 06:05:10 UTC

*murmurs* Life, to put it simply, sucks sometimes. It actually relieves me that it took this long for it to hit you this hard. The realization happens earlier for some than others. I wish I could have protected you from this, Jean. You know I came here because Charles sent me... But I wouldn't have come if I hadn't wanted to. I came to make sure you and Marie would be okay. Be safe. *runs a hand through his hair, sighing* I'm sorry I failed you. *pauses, then. smiles* Did you really have a crush on me?

*smile fades* Shapeshif-- *sits straight up in his seat and tenses* Do you know where Marie is? OUR Marie?

Oh god. Don't go into a spiel about it being a box of chocolates. Never know what you're going to get, yadda yadda I like my life cherry sweet and sugar coated thank you very much. But come on. I was inside my best friend's head when she died. At 10 years old. Spent most of fifth grade comatose. I know - I know these things. Ive seen the very worst thoughts that brew in people's minds - what they'd never dare utter. About the people closest to them even! Life sucks. Grand news flash. It's just... without filtering it all with a rosey tint - how do you bear it? ::smiles at him:: Well I know how you handle it. Beer and smokes and gruffness ( ... )
