WHO: Suzi, open to X-Men (tag in)
WHERE: X-team training grounds
WHEN: Friday morning team practice
WARNINGS: Suzi has TL;DR thoughts. Double Wah.
SUMMARY: After a week away (thanks bitunlikely!) and a helpful conversation, Suzi comes back
FORMAT: quick with para explication
Suzi was up earlier than usual and feeling better than she had in the past week. She hadn't gotten any closer to understanding why things were the way they were but she had come to terms with Megan's and M'stra's deaths. Even if she was still struggling with the means. But something told her it would be like that for the rest of her life.
The time away had helped and she'd talked with a few X-Men here and there. As hard as it was, she'd missed them. After seeing Jenny and her father, Suzi realized that she would rather stay with what she'd known as family since her parents died. Just talking to Warren had made her feel less alone and brought back some of the trust she'd lost. In the X-Men. In Scott.
Suzi knew she didn't have the history that everyone else did with the X-Men. She hadn't been there for the team after hers or for the boom in mutant numbers or...a lot of things. Maybe that's what made killing and innocent sacrifices easier. Seeing more reasons why it could be the only solution. But it didn't make Suzi's chest hurt any less. It didn't stop her from questioning what was right and what was wrong and what everything else meant in the middle. How else could they be heroes instead of vigilantes?
Seeing M'stra come back had made knots grow in Suzi's stomach. She was scared of her. But she was going to face her again. And right then, Suzi knew she hadn't lost the will to fight.
Which brought her here, back to the X-Men training grounds. She listened to the calls of various X-Men working through a scrimmage. Taking a breath, she stepped out onto the field. While she hadn't talked to Scott yet--Suzi was trying to avoid that one--she wanted to come back to practice. Not exactly the most direct of apologies for her sudden departure, but Suzi didn't know where else to begin.
