( moira is vma: very much alarmed. which is understandable, having woken up in a morgue -- and more understandable, having woken up in an empty morgue, in an empty city, and having pinched oneself to ascertain one is not at all dreaming. there was no one within the building to answer her questions or help her, and no one on the street. the stores

[He had been wondering when Moira would show up. Nearly at a whole set now, aren't they. Only missing two of their original group.

It's troubling, to say the least.]

No one knows, yet.

Hello, Moira.

[mc1rgene]

( not quite surprised and definitely not pleased. )

Erik.

[token_vengeance]

Let me guess.

You're from after whatever 'happens' in Cuba.

[A sigh.]

Wonderful.

[decanonized]

Oh, yay. The feds are here.

[mc1rgene]

Central Intelligence Agency, actually.

[He's not bothering with audio nonsense, video feed turning on the moment he heard her name.]

Agent MacTaggert, it is good to see you again.

[He's smiling, pleased she's well, but worried about her being here. That meant there was no one left back home, no one to stop Shaw.]

Have you managed to make yourself decent and have a look around the city? I can give you the address we're at, if you'd like to join us.

( charles's presence is a comfort insomuch as she will allow herself to be comforted, coming to consciousness at so many incredible disadvantages. )

Charles.

( a "likewise" or something should go there, maybe, but she still knows too little, and there's nothing leading her to believe this city is someplace anyone should want to be, or that she should want anyone to be, much less an ally like him. )

Who is "us"?

[groovy_mutation]

[He can tell she's probably on edge, as she should be. He wouldn't expect anything less of her. To be wary, cautious. She's probably even wary of him, who knows what could be going on after all.]

The children, Alex, Hank, Raven, Sean. Erik of course, and myself. There are other mutants here as well, and many others like yourself. We don't know why, but we're here and it's been quite something so far.

We've actually picked up a few extras staying with us. A young mutant named Pyro, who can manipulate fire, he's quite fond of Erik. And ah... Azazel. You've seen him and his work before. Erik thought it would be alright to invite him in with us. So far he's been... pleasant, most likely because he doesn't have Shaw to lead him.

...Agent MacTaggert? [ There are tiny bits of what might have been shock here that have managed to sneak into Alex's typical lineface. She is not someone he was expecting to be seeing. The last he remembered, Moira had been removed from the whole mutant involvement equation, so he's bracing for awkward here. ]

The city's called Abax. We... don't know where it is.

[mc1rgene]

What do you mean, you don't know where it is?

( she'll... say hello properly later, alex. you're an x-man now, she figures getting down to business is a okay. )

[doomhoops]

Like where in the world. Best we can say is somewhere English speaking.

[ Because everything seems like it's in English. But then... The Italian guys just magically understand everything too. Weird... ]
