BWI - Portalocity Lounge [Friday Morning]

[awakestheghosts]

Chloe got off her flight from New York and followed the signs to the lounge. She dumped the duffle bag of clothes that Andrew had hastily purchased on the floor and slumped into one of the uncomfortable airport chairs.

She was still against this plan but she realized on the flight that sulking wouldn't make it any better so she was going to put on a brave face and make the most of it.

"Old?" Jean prompted. Because, ew. He was like Mr. Logan. "Why would he be at the mansion?"

Re: Mingle!

"He's not old! Well, he's older than me. But then everyone is. And he's there because he lives there, duh."

Re: Mingle!

"He lives in New York," Jean replied, like this should have been obvious. And then, reached forward toward his forehead. "Are you feeling alright?"

Re: Mingle!

"Westchester's in New York," Bobby pointed out. See, he didn't totally fail at geography! "I'm fiiiiine," he sighed.

"New York New York!"

"I think his parents live there?" Bobby offered.

Re: Mingle!

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"What?" Could anything just make sense? Please?

Re: Mingle!

[longislandiceme]

"Little Warrens have to come from somewhere, Jean," Bobby pointed out.

Re: Mingle!

"Warren's an adult, Bobby. He doesn't live with his parents anymore."

Re: Mingle!

[longislandiceme]

"I know he doesn't live with his parents, because he lives at the school with us!" Bobby argued. "Are *you* feeling alright?"

Re: Mingle!

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"He lives in New York City. It's not like he's on the team, so why would he live with us?" Anyone listening in would be so confused now.

...unless it was that creep in the red costume.

Re: Mingle!

[longislandiceme]

"He is so on the team! He was on the team even before *you* were on the team!" Bobby pointed out.

Re: Mingle!

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"I've been there since the beginning!" Jean insisted. "With Scott."

Re: Mingle!

[longislandiceme]

"I think I would've remembered you being there!" Bobby insisted right back. "Scott was the Professor's only student before they found me." Not entirely accurate, of course, but he didn't know that.

Re: Mingle!

Jean put her hands on her hips, giving him a look of 'I'm older and know better'.

"Scott and I. Then Kurt joined us."

Re: Mingle!

[longislandiceme]

"Who the hell is Kurt?" Bobby asked. This wasn't getting any less confusing.

Re: Mingle!

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Kurt Wagner? He's--" She looked around to make certain no one was listening. "Fuzzy, blue, has a tail?"

Re: Mingle!

[longislandiceme]

"Neeeever heard of him," Bobby shook his head.

Re: Mingle!

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Jean reached out again to touch his head. "Who are you? Mystique?"

Re: Mingle!

[longislandiceme]

"More people I don't know," Bobby complained, putting up with the forehead-touchy thing with all the dignity a 15 year old boy could manage. Which wasn't much.

Re: Mingle!

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"You should," Jean grumbled, closing her eyes and looking inside.

Re: Mingle!

[longislandiceme]

Ooh, trip inside Bobby's brain! Where there's totally more than a little hamster on a wheel, thank you.

Like proof that he was totally telling the truth, at least from his perspective. She'd find various memories of the team, doing superhero stuff as well as just, you know, regular teenager stuff.

Bobby's eyes narrowed and he jerked back. You didn't live with Charles Xavier and *not* learn to recognize telepathy. "Hey! What the- since when can you do that?"

Re: Mingle!

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Jean gaped for a moment, trying to figure out how that was even possible. "I've--I started hearing people thoughts too about half a year ago. You're not Bobby."

Re: Mingle!

[longislandiceme]

"Excuse me?" Bobby gaped at her. It's entirely possible the temperature in the room dropped by a few degrees with that. And not in the metaphorical sense, either.

He glanced around nervously, really hoping that everyone else was too busy meeting new people to notice that little slip.

"What do you mean I'm not Bobby?" Bobby couldn't have done what he just did! So there!

Re: Mingle!

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Jean noticed too and scooted closer. "Careful. I mean--you're not--you're not the Bobby I know."
