17 * come an' get me boys

[starchilde_lost]

This is the craziest game of capture the flag I've seen in a long while. I just might have to play along. I mean, who needs a Danger Room when you have the entire City as your battlefield?

Come an' get me boys!

Oh man, not you too, Rach.

[starchilde_lost]

I'm not cursed, Kate, I just happen to think this is kinda fun.

[phasedcat.livejournal.com]

I bet I could get the flags and I have this desire to do so just to mess up everyone's game. I think I may do that. I wish I had an evil laugh or something.

This is better then the Danger Room, trust me.

[starchilde_lost]

Do it - it's like a City-wide video game in action today and it will totally mess with their game.

Well, if a blonde guy wearing fistigons comes near you, beat him back. Chase has no chance against the girls.

[starchilde_lost]

Ohhhh, grudge battle of the sexes match? Done and done. He have powers, too, or just the 'guns?

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

Just the guns. Unless you count his big mouth as a weapon.

[starchilde_lost]

Can't possibly be any worse than than the guys I know.

He into showy battle-cry's?

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

I think he's into showing off period. You can't miss Chase for miles.

[starchilde_lost]

Awesome.

[phasedcat.livejournal.com]

Or I could phase the flags partially into places so they can never get them!

[starchilde_lost]

Oh, my God - set up a camera if you do that, I wanna see!

[phasedcat.livejournal.com]

If only I had my uniform.

[starchilde_lost]

Oh, Kitty, come join me at the Courthouse and I can fix you right up.

Plenty.

Most important thing right now, though, is I need you to take a look in a girl's head for me. The one who gave Ric back his powers.

[starchilde_lost]

Eden? Why in the hell would I do that?!

Private;

[twodogsfighting.livejournal.com]

Because it's necessary and because I already asked her all nice-like so you can save your moral qualms for some other time.

Re: Private;

[starchilde_lost]

Jesus, Logan, chill a sec. What the hell am I supposed to be looking for?

And since when is me poking around in someone's head preferable to, I dunno, asking nicely since she's a friend?

Private;

[twodogsfighting.livejournal.com]

A friend you know nothing about. She could be anybody. I want to know if she is who she says she is, why she did what she did, and how she did it.

Private;

[starchilde_lost]

Ric and Jamie trust her, and they've known her a heckuva lot longer than you. That's not enough?

Private;

[twodogsfighting.livejournal.com]

No, it's not. They've made mistakes before. We all have.

Private;

[starchilde_lost]

Doesn't mean we turn our back on our principles, Logan. This isn't the heat of battle, and we're not back home.

[phasedcat.livejournal.com]

First, which version are we talking about?

Private;

[twodogsfighting.livejournal.com]

For a while, Pietro, Quicksilver, got his powers back by going through the Terrigen Mysts of the Inhumans and then was claiming he could heal depowered mutants. He went to Mutant Town, Madrox and Ric and the rest of 'em backed him even knowing he was a piece of slime.

An' do I need to list off all the bad guys who've imitated friends of ours over the years?

Best-case scenario: she's a good kid, she did it for all the right reasons, nothing will ever go wrong with the magic, an' Ric will never lose control of his powers. No harm done.

[starchilde_lost]

Darn, I was going to be evil and hit you up with the multi-colored monstrosity that I'm pretty sure you still get teased about, but I guess that plan's off the table.

I can make whatever's in your head. Telepath? Remember?
