[iluvroadrunner6]

This is the place where Emily and Rose will essentially throw characters at each other that they've been meaning to throw at each other for a while, or take their characters and put them in a different setting or any number of shenanigans.

Basically, this is just a reason for them to tag spam each other.

Rose, comment here with who you want to tag them back in the subject line, and I will give them to you. You can give me a scenario if you want, or a prompt for a scenario, or you can just let me make it up. I'm not picky.

READY SET GO.

[She shrugs a bit as she moves to sit on the edge of Logan's coffee table.]

I'm not exactly what you would call existential but as far as the science goes? I'm pretty sure the serum both slowed your ability to age, and helped preserve your body when you were on ice. I don't think guy who formulated it realized that would happen.

[oddly enough, some of the transgenics Manticore built had the opposite problem. Progeria is a bitch.]

As for why you're here, in this apartment? The people who found you, Manticore? It's gone. The facility was destroyed. I didn't really feel like testing the theory on what would happen if they decided to burn you alive. Figured that you'd probably be safer with people who didn't want to poke you with needles.

[Steve sits through that explanation, watching Max closely. He thinks he's rightfully paranoid about the intentions of a stranger, but if this checks out? Yes, he's grateful. He saw firsthand what it's like to be a cruelly treated test subject thanks to Bucky. He has no intention of living out the horror his now dead friend did. (Long dead, he realizes. Steve tries to shove down the thought.)]

So this is a rescue mission?

[whatialways_do]

Not for you, but ... yeah. I was just trying to get the other kids like me out.

[and she happened to stumble over him. A rescue of opportunity, but at least she's honest about it.]

[valuedstrength]

[He doesn't get offended. If Steve had been conscious, he would have put himself at the bottom of the rescue list in a heartbeat. It should be clear soon how little he cared for his rescue. Steve looks concerned for a moment, measuring Max up to see if the answer to what he is wondering is evident in her body language before saying what's on his mind.]

They're okay now? You got them out alright?

[whatialways_do]

[She nods, a small smile across her face.]

Every last one.

[valuedstrength]

[Steve sighs in relief.] Thank God. At least something's gone right.

[whatialways_do]

[She nods, her smile sobering a bit in sympathy, before she pushes off the table and moving to sit next to him.]

Look. I know this is all kinda crazy right now, but you've got time to get used to things. Logan says he can put you up here, and I can get you clothes and things, and we'll take it one day at a time.

[Steve can do nothing more than nod along. He doesn't know what's outside this apartment really. He'll learn eventually for himself. For now, he supposes he lucky anyone wants him at all. Where would he go if what she says is true? He is quite possibly alone in the world.]

Thank you. I'll do my best to get my act together. [Whatever that means.]

[whatialways_do]

Easy, soldier. No act required.

[The jargon comes easily, she's been using it on the littles all week, helping them get acclimated, but she can see where it helps.]

Just ... get used to the world. Take your time.
