Arts & Crafts, Tuesday Afternoon, Main Campfire

[screwyoumarvel]

As the campers arrived, they would find a tall, athletic blond man in a polo shirt and khakis presiding over picnic tables covered with crafting supplies.

"Good afternoon, everyone," Steve began. "I'm Mr. Rogers--no, not that Mr. Rogers, the other Mr. Rogers--and I'll be in charge of this workshop. We're going to have a lot of fun I hope.

"So, to get started, this week we're going to make gremlins." Steve was oblivious to any horrified twitching this comment might have engendered among his students. He was really new at this. "All the necessary supplies and instruction sheets are already on the table, so...get to it. You can work together if you want to, but please remember the glue and paint are for your projects, not each other. I'll be right over here out of the line of fire if you need any help or have any questions."

"Yes, I don't remember her bursting into tears at the drop of a hat," Steve agreed. "But I suppose it's a stressful time for everyone. And your school blew up."

Teddy looked confused at that. "Oh, that? No. You get used to that around here. I mean, no one was hurt or anything and the aliens were really easily defeated."

"We went out for ice cream when it happened actually," He added. "She was getting better until we went back for that last fight and saw my... dad, I guess."

"Your father is dead, Teddy," Steve said gently. Then he realized what he'd just said and remembered where he came from. He'd met Jean Grey, for a start. "Wait, what am I--is your father not dead any more? Did I know this? Why does no one tell me these things?"

Teddy gave him a sympathetic look. Trying to keep up with all these people coming back to life was hard. "Time travel, I think. From before him and my-" He hesitated to use the m word because his mom was killed by the Super Skrull. "Princess Annelle got together."

"Well, that's--" a giant temporal mess, he thought. "Great! She should be happy for you, right?"

Teddy feared his family tree would become an inter-galactic version of the Summers family.

"I think she's more wondering why her dad couldn't come back instead."

"Give him time, kid Well, I'm sorry if she wants me dead, but I'm kind of not fond of the idea..."

"Of course not!" Teddy said quickly. Last thing he wanted was another dead kinda maybe parent figure in his life, and yeah that was really selfish reasoning, but damn it. He deserved to be selfish sometimes.

"So, things went differently where you're from?"

As far as he could tell, not really, no, except for that he was still breathing. Breathing again. Something. "Apparently. Am I really dead where you're from?"

"As far as I know, yeah," Teddy replied. "If you came back to life back home, Billy would've called."

"Well, I'm...glad I'm not him, I guess," Steve said. Not that he would have admitted it under torture, but Steve thought Teddy and Billy were kind of a cute couple.
