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.

Since he'd helped Toriel put up the playset, suggested the little park in the gardens in the first place, Peter felt a little responsible to keep an eye on the equipment. He'd been in here a few times since they'd returned to the ship after the crash, worried the impact would have broken something and made it unsuitable for the kids. It had looked fine the last three times he'd checked, but here he was again.

It absolutely had nothing to do with certain people he was trying to avoid.

Peter was standing a ways off from the statue, poking at a plastic slide like he expected it to fall apart. He turned with an annoyed noise, face slipping from a frown to a wide eyed stare of surprise. In the span of a second, he was behind Charles reaching out to poke him with the same carefulness as he had the equipment.

"Xavier?"

Sadly not alone, sorry Charles.

Sometimes Daisy liked to come up here too. Although, at times, all it did was remind her just how far they were from home. At least her home, since not everyone came from where she did.

"It's weird, isn't it? Almost doesn't feel like it's real."

It's when he emerges from the cryo room into the neighboring recovery room that Tex sees him—perfectly well, by appearances, not weakened from his year in cryo like she was. She recalls their one encounter before he'd entered the cryo chamber—on the resorts of the Collective, buying up alcohol to transport to the ship. At the time, she had been curious about him, about why he'd apparently been chosen to clone a body for Church from. Since then, Church has returned in a different body and disappeared yet again, so she's less concerned about that whole thing. Still, it's curious that he's not bedridden like she is.

"What are you doing?" she asks him as he enters the room. "You know the doctors are going to want to check you over before you can just leave."

"Charles. You're awake." He mimics the professor's tone, crossing arms over his chest. "Yeah I'm here. Takes more than a couple of months and a way too long party to get rid of me. Oh, and guess what? I'm not the only one here. Which is what we're going to talk about instead of how I'm still not okay with the whole Erik thing. Because I'm not. But lucky you that there's something more important to discuss."

He's speaking quickly, tone going from mockingly friendly to annoyed. The past few months haven't changed his opinion on Erik or Charles for letting Peter bust him out. But he's got the idea if he starts fighting with Charles in public, Peter will be getting an ear full from Jean.

"There's someone here who says they're from the future. Our future. I figured that would be important for you to know."

"Someone else? Who else have you met running around from the wrong year?" It's a silly accusation from someone who knows plenty of people from a vague tomorrow. All of Peter's friends here are from the future, River even so far off he can wrap his head around humanity lasting so long. It's part of why he liked J so much, her being from the 60s and all.

"Look, I just wanted to know if you knew about Jean yet. Because she knows you and she was pretty upset that you were- well, you know. Frozen."

"Sure, so did I when I woke up." She looks over at him, with something like a glare. This is unfair. "I don't even know how you're able to stand."

"What?" It comes out flat, Peter's expression growing cold. It felt like another thing he was finding out too late, another loop he'd been left out of. It wasn't as damaging as Erik, no. But it still stung when his trust in Charles was still only hanging on Jean's opinion. "And how long did you know that? Before the Pentagon?"

He's trying to keep his temper in check. It's mostly out of respect to Jean, he'd seen enough of her temper when he realized he'd kept her in the dark about Charles' stay in cryo. In part it's out respect to the place too. River came to the glass sculpture for her family and it felt wrong to start a fight near it.

"You should. She really seems to like you." The 'for some reason' is left unsaid.

"If willpower was all it took I'd be out of here," she mutters. She sighs. "Okay, well, that's not entirely true. I died once before on the ship and I overextended myself during my recovery. I don't want to go through that again."

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.

"Up until a few years ago I would've said the same thing too." Stepping closer to him, Daisy stuck her hands in her pockets.

"Sorry, I'm Daisy." She held her hand out to him when she was close enough to him.

[Smiling a tight smile when she shakes his hand, Daisy lets go and places her hand back in her pocket.]

Hey. Looks like we both had the same idea, to come up here. Hope you don't mind that I join?
takeitslow: ([Ask])

"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.

Wait, really? What did you teach?

[Daisy could guess what he taught, but she honestly had no idea just by looking at him.]

Uh, my guess is pretty damn far.

"Yes. It's one of the perks of living here, free resurrection." She says this with a roll of her eyes. "Anyway. They must have had your cryo unit set higher than mine, or something."
