Ethics [Tuesday, December 13, 2011]

Oh, silly ethics students. You didn't think Anakin would let you get away without an exam, did you? You've had two days to recover from the potential collapse of the multiverse: that's plenty of time.

"This wasn't an exam you could really study for anyway," he said as he passed the papers out. "There are no right or wrong answers--I just want you to answer honestly and explain your reasoning." He looked around the room. "You've all done extremely well this year and I'm proud of you. Enjoy your holidays."

"'What was the school board thinking, giving Jamie Madrox a teaching position,'" Anakin recited. "He's not unaware of his reputation."

"I should be amazed that he would take the job anyway and yet... I'm very not," she decided.

"I think he has a crush on me," Anakin said.

Though no, not really.

"Did he invite you to the common room and offer you rum?"

Which would be how Aeryn figured out he'd had a crush on her...

"No," Anakin said. "He had his entire class dress like I did in high school and sing Little Bunny Foo Foo."

"Braid, too?" she asked.

"Braids too," Anakin sighed. "And banthabells."

He'd been thrilled. Really.

"And he's alive?"

"I've been trying not to kill people," Anakin said. "But I think a few students almost wet themselves when they saw the look on my face."

And if you think that didn't please him, you didn't know him that well.

And from the girl who still liked when she could scare people, "That had to have helped your mood."

"A bit," he admitted. "It was still not a very good day."

"I'm sure there's still plenty of time to get your deathless revenge on him," Aeryn assured him. "Maybe before he tries it again."

"Oh, I don't think he's stupid enough to--"

Anakin paused.

"--I'll double-check that," he amended.

"Maybe triple-check," she advised.

"Maybe declare banthabells illegal," Anakin added.

"Can you do that?" Personally she thought that would not be a bad idea anyway.

"No idea," Anakin said. "I might have to talk to Cable about it first."

"If you tell him it's Jamie's fault, I'm sure he'll agree." Sadly, not joking.

"Probably," Anakin admitted. "I'll see if I can track him down before Christmas."

"You just want that as a Christmas present to yourself, don't you?" Aeryn asked.

"I really do," Anakin replied.

"I'd say you deserve it after this mess," she pointed out.

"Juliet wants another pony, too," Anakin said. "Since the first one disappeared. Even though it came back. I think we should start saving for law school."

"When did you have a pony?" Aeryn asked, wondering how they fit one in the apartment.

"We kept it ~~oh so handwavily~~ on the island," Anakin said. "She wanted one."

She was two.
