mouthy_merc | En Route to Alaska - Friday Afternoon (Reply)

Scott	The jet was swiftly approaching Cooperstown. That was about the only good thing about this entire endeavour, so far. Scott leaned one arm against the bulkhead, partly just to keep himself from slamming his forehead repeatedly into it. "You're not going to move. You're not going to say anything. You're not going to do anything but sit there and--" He sighed. "...Yes, Deadpool?"
Deadpool	"What? I didn't say anything!" A beat. "But since you asked... You're still a moron."
Scott	"Thanks for your input," Scott returned, and shot a look over his shoulder. "Ready for approach?"
Arashi	"Where are we going anyway?" Arashi frowned and looked around at the flying ship. Planes were still a new thing to him, shhh.
Ino	Ino was peering out one of the windows. She was totally deciding that Liir's broom was more fun to fly on. "Somewhere where there's hopefully a baby? Or something." A beat. "And where I can fight something and hopefully not be unconscious for it." Geez.
Siryn	Theresa Cassidy was trying very hard to keep a straight face at Deadpool's comments toward Scott. Really she was. It had been a long time since she last saw him. "Alaska," she told Arashi, pretty certain that Scott wasn't about to give anything away to the new-comers. "Wade--" She stopped before she could come up with an actual question as to just who the blonds were.
Deadpool	Deadpool blinked a few times, looking away from the fun glaring he'd been perfecting toward Scotty. "Yes, Terry?" It might not have been the best idea to slip back into the playful flirting he enjoyed so much around her still. Even if... (Not gonna happen.) ...yeah.
Arashi	Arashi glanced over at the woman briefly and pretended to not be interested. Women from Wade's home that were interested in him tended to backfire on Arashi.
Ino	The woman totally got a bit of Ino's attention, if only because there was only so much time she could stare out the window. And the weird flirting thing was amusing. "What's with the flirting?" Ino asked finally. 'Innocently'. "I mean, really, geez."
Siryn	Theresa had the good grace to flush slightly at that, giving Wade a Look to behave in front of children. "Who are your... friends, Wade?"
Deadpool	Huh. That was a question Wade reeeeaally hadn't been thinking was gonna be asked. He was special sometimes. "Terry, meet Ino and Arashi." He should probably add more to that. "Arashi, Ino... meet Terry." There we go!
Arashi	Arashi gave Wade a look. The kinda look that meant if he didn't explain more there might be trouble. He nodded politely at Terry and extended his hand. "Nice to meet you."
Ino	Ino leaned back, and grinned at the awkward. "Likewise, nice to meet you, Terry-san. I'm a half-minion of Deadpool-san's." Because that explained so much.
Siryn	Minion...? That didn't make Terry feel better about this whole thing. She took Arashi's hand, smiling warmly at him. "You both as well." And wondered about the look Wade was getting.
Deadpool	There certainly were a lot of looks going on in his direction today. ...oh right. "My-" He coughed. "-husband."
Siryn	"Y'r husba--" The accent seemed to get worse as the surprise set in. She stared, looking back from the man whose hand she was shaking to Wade. She heard that wrong, right? Somewhere near the front of the plane, Scott was smirking.
Arashi	Arashi might have been face palming. Tact and Wade were not good friends. He gave Terry a smile. "Long story."
Ino	Ino's grin widened. "It's totally true."
Deadpool	Deadpool scratched the back of his neck, looking around. "Oh look! We've landed!" He said, quickly standing up and getting out of his seat.
Arashi	Arashi sighed and watched Wade get up with a shake of his head. "So what are we doing here again?"
Ino	There was totally a snicker coming from Ino's direction, but she nodded at Yondaime-sama's question. "I'll second that," she said. "You guys all kinda suck on the giving information out part."
Siryn	Terry looked down, avoiding any eye contact. "Retrieving Caliban's body." And then followed Deadpool and the rest of the X-Men out of the plane.
Arashi	Well that was sobering. Arashi nodded back sadly. "I see," he stood a moment later and motioned Ino to follow. "My apologies then."
Ino	She... knew that name. ... "Cable's Caliban?" Ino asked blinking, laughter gone, and getting up without really noticing it. "That one?" Did Cable know?
Wolverine	Anyone outside the plane seemed a little too busy dealing with the dead and wounded. Or speaking in hushed tones. "--Cable got away in our own damn transport. It was my fault," Wolverine said, looking out somewhere in the snow. "He played us."
Scott	"It was no one's fault." Scott was in full on leadership mode now. "You had to stop the baby from being killed."
X-24	One of the teens first seen when they got to the mansion spoke up at that. "That's what Cable was doing too. He was protecting it."
Arashi	Arashi looked around at everything in horrified awe. "No way Nate could have done all this..."
Ino	Ino was quiet, just watching everything, and wondering what was... Yeah. Should she ask? She'd never seen him in anything but a picture, but if Cable-san hadn't had a chance, or if he didn't even know... her mind shied away from the possibility that Cable-san could've done it. "Deadpool-san?" Ino stepped over to him quietly. "Can I see Caliban?"
Deadpool	Deadpool eyed her, watching the lil' X-ers scurry about. "I don't think that's a good idea right now, Ino." Especially not with Warpath doing his big manly grieving over there in the circle o' people around what he assumed was the body. "Might start a fight." And people said he couldn't think about consequences.
Emma	The conversation Scott was having continued on beyond them. "--a psi-echo, but it's too weak to give me a direction," Emma said, pulling her shawl a little tighter over her shoulders. Snow made her costume an annoyance at times.
Wolverine	"He's headed south," Wolverine cut in. "Ever since he left Cooperstown, he's been moving in a straight line. South and a little east." He sniffed the air, as it able to catch scent of Cable. "We follow that line, we'll find Cable at the end of it."
Ino	"It wouldn't be to gawk," she insisted quietly. "I just want to say something. To Caliban. That's all. Please." ... "I think it's important, even if he's dead."
Scott	"Guido, Warpath, put Caliban's body in the aft storage locker," Scott barked out the order, turning toward the jet again. "And do it with respect. He died an X-Man."
Deadpool	Deadpool didn't reach out toward Arashi, just kinda... leaned in his space for a moment. Shut up, he was allowed to be possessive when side characters died. "Later, kid."
Arashi	Arashi was serious looking around everything, but covertly reached for Wade's hand.
Ino	Ino was furious, but it only showed in the flashing of her eyes. This wasn't the time for yelling. Not from her at least. "With all due respect," she said, voice clipped. "I'm asking you out of politeness." Not because she had to listen to him. Ino turned to go and say what she wanted to say.
Deadpool	Rolling his eyes, Deadpool grabbed Ino by the back of the shirt and yanked her back. "And you're an outsider looking in on a whole bunch of dangerous people grieving. I am not starting a fight until we find Nate and hit him in the head a lot, mmkay?" A beat. "And then we'd be stranded in Alaska and that would just be badness all around. I didn't pack my parka." And hey! There was hand holding! Wade could deal with that. Maybe. Shut up. HE WAS STILL VERY MANLY.
Arashi	"Ino," Arashi said firmly. "Now is not the time. These people are greiving and if you say anything about Nate it might set them off. I don't feel like explaining to your father what happened to his little girl because of that."
Ino	"Let. Me. Go." Ino was seriously considering stabbing him at this rate. It wasn't like he wouldn't heal after all. Her jaw was set in a way that Yondaime-sama would probably recognize--it was much the same expression her father got when he was hell-bent on doing something. And wouldn't be persuaded otherwise.
Arashi	"Ino, this is an order." Arashi frowned. "We're not saying you can't at all, just not right this moment."
Ino	... ... Fuck. Them. All. "Hokage-sama." Her voice was expressionless, but hate flashed in her yes and that was probably more worrisome. "No."
Deadpool	Yeah, Deadpool was so very done with this now. Letting go of Arashi, he yanked her back again and pinched her neck. "I call this one my Vulcan neck pinch." A beat. "Or, I would, but I'm pretty sure it's copyright infringement when I do..."
Ino	... She was losing consciousness again. But this time, this time she knew who'd done it--and wasn't going to forgive them for a long, long time. It hadn't even been that big a deal--not to anyone living, that is, or not to anyone here what she'd wanted to say. And she hated them all for it. Caliban, she would've said, had they let her, you don't know me and I don't really know much about you either. I'm Ino, and I kinda hoped that if we ever got to meet that'd it'd be under better circumstances. But, I thought, I guess that you should hear something, because I think it's kinda important even now. Even with you... yeah. I have heard of you. From Cable-san. Did you know that he keeps a picture of you and him and Domino in his apartment? He told me a little bit about you when I asked. Just a little. But Cable-san doesn't have pictures of anyone else around so, even if he doesn't say anything? I know he'll miss you. That you mattered to him. I hope you knew that. Cable-san's a bit of a pain at times but... yeah. He's got a picture of you up where people can see it. That counts for a lot, when it comes to him. Rest in peace, okay? 'Cause that'll matter to him too. I know it.
