You decide every moment of every day... (CLOSED)

Who: Charles (Daisy, Jean, Tex, Peter)
When: The day Charles wakes up from Cryo
Where: Medical, Moro deck, kipos garden, bow observation deck
What: Charles has been in cryo for a few months and he's waking up to a few changes. And people.
Warnings: Nooooone?

[A]

He was just... sleeping. Charles could remember sleeping a lot back in New York. Usually he slept off his hangovers, that wasn't what this was. For one, he hadn't been drinking prior to this that he could remember. Second, he didn't sleep completely naked. Or in medical in a cryo unit. After taking a moment to gather his thoughts, he pulled himself out of the unit, looking around for something to cover himself. And then hopefully his uniform. He wasn't going to wander around in nothing but a towel, after all.

His clothes had to be stored nearby right? Whoever had put him here wouldn't have carried him naked from... where ever he'd been. He had to have been stripped down here, it only made sense. Once found, he wasted no time changing. Better to wear the ships uniform than nothing at all.

[B]

He made his way to his room when he could, sure (hoping) his things hadn't been tampered with by his roommates. The first thing he really wanted to do was grab a glass and some of the whiskey he'd bought on the planet they'd visited when the Ingress had first brought him here. And then he'd think of what else he should do, where else he should go.

The rooms were still strange looking in his opinion (what was wrong with regular beds, why did these have to hang from the ceiling?) but he'd gotten used to them. And the room he was assigned was large enough that his belongings wouldn't have been in the way while he slept.


[C]

He never had visited the garden before, what he was starting to think of it as, his coma. It seemed relaxing though, or relaxing enough, and he could use that. When he found the tree and all the candles, it wasn't just the compulsion to do so that had him lighting a candle. It was clearly some kind of tradition, and something to be respected. And he would do just that.

The glass sculpture he found left him unsettled. He knew what he looked like: fuzz on his face and long unkempt hair. He needed to work on that a bit. But when he looked into it, for a moment he glimpse himself when he had first met Erik, another moment showed him when he'd been twelve. And another showed him an older, bald, man. That wasn't going to happen. He was quite fond of his hair, thank you very much.

[D]

Looking at the stars from the observation deck was nice. He hadn't studied it before, it didn't interest him like it did Hank, but he had to admit that it was fascinating. Mostly that they could travel space at all, that he was far into the future. That wasn't quite so odd considering Logan had traveled to the past but still, it was fascinating. And he hoped that coming to the bow meant he wouldn't be disturbed quite as much as he would elsewhere.

It's a low blow to play the sister card, maybe lower than Charles realizes since he hasn't been around long enough to know what Peter tried to do for Wanda.

"What did freeing a murderer have to do with your sister?" Peter asked, acid still in his tone. Was he supposed to even know Charles had family? "You could have told me anyway. There was three of you. You didn't tell me about Erik, you didn't tell me about Logan. I guess you were never planning to."

He snorts, taps the MID on his wrist. "I could just tell her to seek out your's. She's, you know-" He taps at his temple. Psychic, is what he means.

"Asking for a heads up that I was about to let out a murderer isn't asking for everything." Peter rubs at his face, trying to tamp down on a desire to scream. Maybe he should call Jean regardless, see if she could keep him calm. "You didn't see what I did, what he's going to cause. I let him out, that makes it my responsibility."

He wants to believe he wouldn't have done it if he'd known. Even if Jean had assured him things would work out in the future, Peter still couldn't help but feel he'd played a hand in what had happened with the Sentinels. Those fears, in turn, had played into so many of the messes he'd created here.

"Telepathic and she can, like, fly. Telekinesis, I guess you'd call it? Her powers are cool." Charles might not need Peter to hype Jean up, even he wasn't mean enough to think the older man didn't appreciate for other's mutations. It was just that her powers reminded him so much of the Wanda here. Peter couldn't help but get a little excited, especially when Jean felt the need to be so hard on herself.

Peter is in no way ready to say he forgives Charles, not yet. He can be stubborn when he wants to be, and petty. Now is one of those times. But he does acknowledge that Charles is trying to disarm his anger and sometime later, when there's been more time to think and Jean's had more to yell at him about the Professor they'll know in the future, it will matter more to Peter. He nods, tight and slow.

"You should tell her that. She doesn't seem very impressed with herself or her powers." Peter's not sure if Jean had meant that conversation to be a private thing. He doesn't really care. She talked about Professor Xavier like the man hung the sun. Charles would stand a better shot of convincing her that her power was something to be grateful for than Peter had.

"Okay." That's good enough for Peter. Let Jean reap the benefits of someone she looked up to and Peter could feel like he'd done something right by her.

He gives Charles a nod, hands going to his pockets. "Right. Well, you were doing something." He edges back, ready to make a run for the door.

Peter is genuinely surprised that Charles isn't trying to get him away. Peter hadn't exactly been kind to the man since he'd arrived on the ship, and hadn't done much to try to endear himself even before Moira had taken hold on either of them.

"Um, dude. Probably nothing that wouldn't end in us arguing about stuff again." He stops, shrugs. "I'm still mad, you know? And there's been a lot that's happened here that makes it kind of hard to get over. I'll try not to be an ass anymore about it."

It's honest, at least. So much of his anger over Erik ties into his anger with Rinzler. He sighs, tries to move on.

"Have you been caught up, since waking up?"
