So, catching up with everyone:

-The AI is in Quentin's brain and he can't access that part of his mind anymore.

-There's a tiny Phoenix inside me, no, I'm not possessed yet.

-Kurt's been sentenced and showing side effects of it, namely, turning into stone.

I feel that we all should discuss these things. Or at least, be aware of it. Also, Morph, Rogue, got anything to share? Might as well add to the list.

wait, what? just what have you kids been getting up to lately??

Quentin: are you good? this isn't like impacting your day to day life is it?
Scott: like a spark? itty bitty baby phoenix? even that's a lot of power...
Kurt: how is that even happening??

as for me, I don't have any super bizarre problems, so I'd say I'm doing pretty good in comparison.

hey don't lump me in with the rugrats. i got nothing to do with their shenanigans.

and no, no impacts to daily life. whether that's good or bad remains to be seen. because fml obviously.

[mightymorphin]

okay, okay - so what's it mean that you can't access that part of your mind? does that mean no one else can get it out of there either?

if it's not impacting you otherwise that's good? but we still need to find a way to store the AI somewhere less fleshy.

[querulus]

it means what it sounds like. i made a room, have the key, but the door's jammed from the inside. the ole "chair under the handle" trick. and in case you haven't noticed, we're a little short on powerful telepaths around here. if you know of any others, i'm all ears.

the plan was to make a copy of our digital friend's memories, do the reset, and transplant them back into the fresh-faced bouncing bundle of joy that came out on the other side. pop its memories into the new body and bing bang boom, no glitches and a reality-warping entity who likes us and owes us a solid. easy-peasy.

and well, you know, best laid plans, etc etc. i'd love to put this thing back where i got it, but alas.

tiny phoenix. well, if you call like a foot and a half tall bird small.

it's not a lot of power, not right now. i can't do anything extra, other than having a bird come out of me and expel little fireballs. haven't really gotten the urge to remake the world either, so that's a plus i think.

[mightymorphin]

so it's taking the shape of a literal bird... huh.

honestly, that could be a good thing. Jean's had brushes with the Phoenix power that saved her even while she wasn't possessed by it. as long as it's no full-blown cosmic destroyer it might end up coming in handy.

[laserguy]

i'm assuming that's unusual? honestly, she's been really different?? feel like i'm just taking care of a bird half the time.

yeah i'm fine without the cosmic destroyer bit.

[He only got her after the reset, so maybe weird things happened and he just ended up with store brand Phoenix--]

Well, strike up the band and play, "Who the thunk it"?

I'm with Morph with on this one, what in tarnation have ya'll been doing?

text; un: shades

[laserguy]

would it help if i told you that i just woke up with this power after the reset?

because that's all i got.

[southernchere]

It's better than you disappearin or worse.

How you've been feelin?

[laserguy]

i've been okay, really.

no urges to destroy and remake the world. not on fire, not saying i'm fire and life incarnate. i consider all those things a plus.

i was just trying to save some poor sad cosmic entity asking for help. do the impossible, save the world, help those in need, yadda yadda. you know, classic x-men heroic bullshit.

idk what these little twerps have been getting into.

[southernchere]

And you're for sure it ain't gonna control ya later, right? I know you can't access it, but it's not gonna just wake up suddenly and take over?

[querulus]

i mean

it already had control of all of reality, time, space, horizontal, vertical. the whole kit and kaboodle.

if anything taking over me would be a downgrade. and believe me, i do not say that lightly. i'm fucking amazing.

in any case, it hasn't exactly been in a big hurry to say hi thus far.

The cat's out of the bag and also made of stone

Sorry guys. They want me to turn any of my friends in to be tried for a crime. Of course that's not happening! I'll deal with this.

[mightymorphin]

deal with it how?? look, it's nice that you don't want to be a narc, but your life is on the line here!

[digthefuzz]

I'm trying to figure that out!! But this isn't about narcing. It's like I'd be offering one of you guys up in my place and that is totally not cool!

[mightymorphin]

yeah but I doubt they'll turn anyone else to stone. can it be any crime, or are there other caveats here?

[southernchere]

Kurt, why didn't you say anythin??!

[says the one who is also being sentenced and hasn't told a single soul besides miller.]

[digthefuzz]

Sorry!! I just didn't want to worry you guys, or risk making you face something worse.

uuuugh nice work boss baby now everyone's going to be freaking out at me. and you i guess too. cripes.

okay before i go deal with the rest of this mess, quick fyi. if you see a purple idiot with a bow and arrow, do me a favor and try to keep him from getting killed. that's hawkeye. he's from my timeline. non-powered human but a surprisingly decent guy. i'd prefer he stay in one piece.

feel free to remind him every chance you get that he doesn't have powers, though. keeps him humble.

[digthefuzz]

Oh so he's one of your Avengers? Good to know! We really need some kind of chart for all this

But really, how's your head feeling man?

[querulus]

the chart is i know all of you fuckos (except morph, mysteriously) and none of you know me. except the one guy from my timeline, who knows the same people i know. and half of you don't know each other. clear as mud?

my head's fine. trust me, if i start having a really bad day, you'll know.

[laserguy]

[boss baby.......]

i hate you.

i met him once, i think. he was a pain in the ass, so makes sense he's from your timeline. [Wait actually--] dude is this actual concern i'm hearing?? for a non-mutant?

[querulus]

no you don't

weird, right? mysterious even? i contain multitudes.
