29 * Long Road Home [voice]

[The audio cuts in, slightly before Rachel thinks it does. Her voice is really weak and those who would know can probably recognize hospital-like sounds in the background.]

...didn't mean to snap at you, Kill, I know you hurt, too, but I asked you to bring it to me, not drop it on my head.

[Private to Jamie Madrox/Hackable]

Jamie, sorry I missed calling you last night. I... got a little hung up. None of your people ran into her, right?

[Private to Jean Grey/Hackable]

Jean? I totally owe you dinner, or a movie, or, like, a kidney for last night.

Did I... I didn't say anything weird... did I?

[Private to Kitty Pryde/Hackable]

We can just say we're even, okay?

[ooc: Backdated to earlier in the day, she still has her dæmon, Killian.]

Weird could win the understatement of the year prize.

[There's some muffled cursing, possibly in Shi'ar.]

...um, anything stick out in your mind?

[ooc: And my schedule got changed for the next week, so if you still want to action spam the rescue we can but it might be backdated forever, or we can assume based on last night's chat?]

You called me mom and mentioned Scott.

~~Shit.~~

I did?

Yes. You did. He's your...~~awkward. So awkward.~~

Don't look at me like that, Kill, I know. Jesus, why do I always mess this up.

...I said he was my dad, didn't I?

Mess this up?

You did...

This... talking to you thing. About me. It's always, like, the worst possible timing.

...did I mention I wasn't born in the timeline-slash-dimension I'm from?

Maybe I don't even want to ask why you've talked to me about you before.

News to me.

It kinda relates to the rest of this. And you probably don't want to know, but with these curses I should probably tell you before it gets worse.

So... I was. Born in the future of another timeline. And in my timeline, Scott Summers... well, he's my dad. I was born Rachel Anne Summers.

And when I came to live in the timeline I'm from now, it took him awhile, but we're kinda family now. Him an' me. It's a little awkward because he's not that much older than me, but once you throw my brother in for perspective we look like a normal father/daughter.

I'm getting there Killian, don't rush me.

So if Scott's your dad, whose your mom?

[Long pause. Really, really long pause.]

Seriously?

Yeah. Seriously.

Like I said, I get compared to my mom way more than I get compared to my dad.

So just so we're clear your mom is...? ~~I think I've gotten it.~~

That would be you, or rather the you from my home. Homes. So not really you, but kinda-sorta-you.

Please don't hate me.

...me? Or the me from your world? Seriously?

Unless something's really whacked-out between our worlds, genetically you're my mom, yeah.

I'm sorry, I didn't want... listen, it's not like I expect anything okay? I made that mistake once. But I... just though you should know before some curse put it out there for the entire City to see.

That's...I have no idea.

So if you say you're not that much younger than Scott from your world does that mean you're close to her age too?

Not close-close, but they would've had to be, like ten when they had me if they really were my parents.

Not that it really matters to Scott anymore, or Alex even, family's family to us now.

That's...she's dead in your world right? Must have been hard for you when she died it was when my dad died. I don't make you really uncomfortable do I?

Scott and Alex are close in your world? They kind of hate each other most of the time in my world. Alex chose to go to Emma's school instead of staying with Scott and the X-Men so that just made things worse.

Yeah. I mean, yeah she's dead, not that you make me uncomfortable. You're different enough from her, I think. It weirds we out a little, but I can deal.

Oh, no, they have their moments, and they get on each others' nerves like nothing else, but for the most part they have each others' backs.

Emma...Frost?

What, Kill? I haveta ask.

Oh my God Rachel, I'm really sorry. You're okay now? Or better? Getting there? Anything I can do?

Not so fast... M'in the hospital, but I'm gonna be okay.

And like I said, I think we're even.

Weirds me out too, I'd just told Scott I couldn't marry him a in your world we have a kid, or kids, or whatever.

Some of the moments my Alex and Scott have are because of Lorna.

That'd be her. You have one in your world too?
