me and all my other mes
Who: Scott Summers and you
Where: Around Aldrip
What: Scott glitching into different versions of himself, such as 97, James Marsden, time displaced teen Scott from the comics, etc...
Warnings: Maybe some possible spoilers for X-Men 97??
I’m Totally Buggin (X-Men 97);
[Walking around Aldrip? You may notice a slightly familiar, but also pretty different version of one Scott Summers. Mostly, just the fact that he's an adult that's wearing a bright and colorful X-Men uniform. Look, who would wear black leather?? There's definitely a certain serious countenance to him as he looks around, because this place is new and unfamiliar and where is his team? Hell, he'll even be glad to see Magneto around, since the older mutant has shown that he's capable of letting humans go despite their crimes against them. Second chances and all. It's what the late Professor wanted.
...He still wonders if he didn't do a good enough job if the Professor left everything to Magneto.
But no thoughts for that right now. He has to find the other X-Men or help out any mutants if they are in this city. So, once again, he tries to communicate with the other members of his team, pressing the communicator on his uniform to contact them.]
It's Cyclops, report.
[Once that message is sent, however, Scott will continue his exploration, perhaps even resorting to stopping someone else to ask for information. This doesn't look like an elaborate kidnapping ploy, so he's willing to hear out any of the people walking around.] Can you tell me where we're at?
[Maybe you'll catch Scott walking around one of the more crime infested areas, just casually blasting a robber from across the street with the lowest power setting so that they collapse to the ground, mostly uninjured. It sure is nice to have a visor where he can control the output of his blasts.]
I was basically a cameo (X3: Last Stand);
[Enjoying the beach? Well, maybe not anymore, because there is a scream that echoes throughout the area before two familiar red blasts shoot through the sea for a few seconds, the water breaking apart before instantly converging once more as Scott falls to his knees a respectable distance away (look, he wasn't going to blast right next to someone, he has just enough sense for that). And it's definitely some version of Scott as he stares out at the ocean with an expression that seems haunted and exhausted, despite the shades covering his eyes. Maybe it's the fact that he clearly hasn't shaven in a hot minute.
Normally, Scott wouldn't even think to act this way out in public. But Jean is gone. He can't even hear her in his mind now. She's been dead for a year and he still can't come to grips with it. It's just. He should've done more for her. He should've been there. He should've done something. He... he doesn't know what to do and all that training and self-control is not helping him right now.
He can only just look at the water in front of him, so unlike the lake that claimed her, teeth clenching as her name falls from him.]
Jean...
I stole Wolverine's bike (All New X-Men comics);
[Well, isn't this great.
This Scott half expects Hank to pop out of nowhere and tell him that he's been brought to somewhere else to stop his future self, even if it doesn't make any sense. Nothing has made sense though in the past few days. Look, learning that he kills Charles Xavier in the future, that his future self is a mutant revolutionary hanging out with Magneto, and that everyone pretty much hates him has been a lot. He... he didn't do that. He doesn't want to do any of that.
But Hank hasn't come out to tell him his new idea. And people aren't looking at him with utter contempt or distrust. It's kind of nice. Sure, he only experienced that for just a few days now, but it has been enough. It's not like he can really forget how even Jean looked at him when everyone learned what his future self is like. Probably didn't help that he literally attacked him and the others and promptly disappeared with his new best friend Magneto.
God, this sucks still. Because he doesn't know where he's at and no one is familiar. He'd still rather have the other young X-Men here, because even if it's Bobby or Warren looking at him with distrust, at least they're still his friends.
Scott stares up at the sky for a moment, closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He can handle this. He can--]
This might as well happen!
[He shouts into the sky before promptly collapsing back on the grass and staring upward still. Maybe that feral man with the claws will come out of nowhere to kill him. He wonders if it would be that bad.]

I do. [Love him that much. There's no glimmer of tears in her eyes as she gives him one of her small, genuine smiles, tinged with the bittersweet sadness of inevitability, but there's emotion there nonetheless. She leans up and kisses him again, longer this time, just wanting this moment of quiet closeness.
Eventually, she draws back, though she doesn't let go completely. Inventory forgotten, she instead just looks up at him a little longer.] So... let's just stay together today.
no subject
You'll always be special to me, Kotone. No matter what. [He responds, understanding the twinge of sadness laced in her genuine smile. Whatever happens in the future, even if he ends up with Jean, she'll always be someone that he loves. Nothing can replace how he feels about her.
He guides her hand to his chest, letting it rest against his heart as he smiles at her.] Wanna stay like this?
[Definitely no counting of inventory now. And maybe it will be harder for him to disappear or glitch once more.]
no subject
["Live every day to the fullest" can sometimes mean just spending time holding onto her boyfriend so he doesn't drift away like a balloon, she's deciding. Even if she can't see his eyes, being able to hold him, see him, and be held by him is more than enough to outweigh that minor inconvenience.
It's all temporary, so maybe this is just as much about living in the moment. Even if she's not moving around, she's feeling. And that has to count for something, right?]
And... if you wanna talk about anything, you can, too. [She squeezes his hand and looks up again.] Don't forget, okay?
no subject
I won't forget. [Scott promises. He knows why she asked him that, after dealing with a Scott that wasn't as ready to be open. He was really going through a lot, from the memories he can recall from him, and while he's sure that she's curious to know more about that other version, he just wants to focus on her.
He smiles at her, that open honesty already in full effect.] Besides, I have to lead you by example. It's easier for you to be honest when I am, right?
no subject
I don't even think you know how to lie, [she teases, snuggling in more comfortably against him.] So... yeah. As long as you keep telling me things... I'll make sure to tell you, too.
[She has other people she can confide in, she knows, but not like Scott. There really is nobody like him, not even himself.]
no subject
Oh come on, I'm an expert liar. I did get in trouble a lot back home.
[No, Scott's definitely not a great liar, and it's only worse when he's around her. She not only makes it easy to be open and honest with her, but he simply wants to as well. It's just really nice to be upfront with his feelings and know that she'll always support him in some way. It's comforting?? The closest person he had like that back home was maybe Alex and maybe Jean, but Kotone's gotten far closer.]
But I'm holding you to that, Shiomi. [He teases lightly, even as he pulls her closer to him, lips pressing against her forehead.]
no subject
Okay, Summers the Rebel, [she teases, closing her eyes with a contented little smile at the kiss.] I'll do it for you.
<small[She'll keep making an effort to be open with others too, but Scott's special. It's not an effort with him. They can stay together like this, doing nothing, talking honestly about nothing, and it'll be perfectly fine.]
