semi-closed; family and extended family drama

[laserguy]

WHO: Scott, Julian, Quentin, Nate's comatose body, and any other mutant that wants to bother them
WHEN: A few days before Camp Etraya ends, after this thread
WHERE: Camp Etraya
WHAT: A comatose Nate and Scott return to the camp after the mission at Solmara
NOTES\WARNINGS: mutants being assholes

[So, there's something happen in the middle of camp.

Mostly Julian and Quentin arguing-- talking to each other, which, probably isn't really all that surprising on a normal day. However, there's that great added bonus of Julian carrying Nate's unconscious body in a princess hold, which probably gives the whole grumbling at each other a little more gravitas. Because he definitely is unconscious-- comatose, not twitching at all amongst the commotion.

Scott's standing a little off to the side from them and probably unsurprisingly from the teen, looking grumpy and moody. Also worried. But definitely those first two emotions because a rather big revelation happened thanks to a Mr. Hellion. So, he's just sort of dealing with that little tidbit of information, while also blaming himself slightly for Nate being comatose in the first place. It's also annoying that he can't do much else right now.

What a great time for others to say hi to everyone, right? See what's going on. Welcome back the assholes from Solmara?? And the two that brought them here.]

[ooc: A mutant mingle log to bother everyone. Have fun!]

I guess. [Nate's definitely the type to put others before himself, huh? And he'd definitely want to protect his dipshit not father, even if said not father didn't know about the relation until now. Those thoughts almost gets him angry again, both at Nate... and himself. He just has to wait until he recovers to confront him about all this.

And he will recover. Scott isn't going to consider anything else. He can't, even as he continues to watch Nate's unmoving form in Julian's arms.

Some of that worry morphs, a helpless sort of anxiety clinging onto him with the remaining bit turning into stress and causing him to fold his hands into tight fists. He needs to vent, probably, and since Wade is the closest mutant to him right now...]

He still shouldn't have pushed himself so hard.

[fourthwalled]

[He can tell in the lingering silence that Scott is really beating himself up in his head. Wade doesn't need to be a mind-reader to see that.]

Well, you can read him the riot act about it when he wakes up? [Wade offers, with ah shrug.] Not sure if that will work, though. Might just make him do it harder next time.

[laserguy]

Whether or not he listens, I plan on talking to him.

[Just so that he can tell him off?? Sure, maybe a little bit of that, along with Scott trying and failing to hide how upset and worried he was, because that's the core of the matter. Nate almost died right in front of him-- that's what it felt like at least. While it was cool to see him defeat Beckett, he also can't forget the moment when he and Nate plummeted to the ground after the latter used up all his energy, with the other mutant lying limp and not waking up no matter how much he yelled.

It sucked and he doesn't want something like that to happen again.

Scott breathes heavily out from his mouth, the sound still heavy and burdened with stuff that he's trying to hide, but a part of him feels like crashing somewhere too. He's exhausted, but...]

You really care about Nate, huh? [Everyone seems to like Nate, guess he gets it.] Even though you said that you don't know him that well.

[fourthwalled]

Talking is a good idea. [Hopefully not shouting? Wade's stupid, but not quite stupid enough to insert himself too hard into the middle of this family drama if he can help it. He'd just wanted to be sure Nate was okay, and instead he's stepped into this.]

Yeah, I do care about him. Because he remi-- [Wade realizes his mistake too late, stopping suddenly. 'Because he reminds him of Cable'.] Because, I mean-- look at him! Who wouldn't?

[Fuck.]

[laserguy]

[Nice catch there, man.

Unfortunately, it's clear that Scott managed to piece together everything that was left unsaid, the teen's mouth thinning as he's reminded of the fact that everyone seems to know more about him than him. Except it's not even him, but some alternative future version of him. That sounded stupid even in his head, damn.

Some irritation leaks in his voice, because he just wants to make one thing clear.]

Because he reminds you of my other son, right? Yeah, don't worry about that, the cat's out of the bag on that one. [......] So don't bother trying to sidestep there.

[fourthwalled]

[A tension releases from Wade the moment Scott says that. The fact that Scott is kind of pissed off doesn't even seem to matter to him. He just cares that he's not responsible for spilling any beans!] Oh, thank fuck.

Do you have any idea how hard it is for me NOT to talk? That's my thing?! And Cable was giving the fucking stink eye like he might stab me in the dick again... what a relief!
