"living is an act of courage."

"Emma Frost," She says, obviously expecting Natasha to know that name. "I suppose it's good to see I'm not the only one from home here," even if Natasha was an Avenger. At least she hadn't come begging for the X-men's help like the shameless bastard Tony Stark. Emma could respect that.
[Aaaaand this just got interesting.]
Not now that you know who I am, no. [AKA: Having people know who she is, but she not know who they are is uncomfortable for a spy like her.
oh.
okay.
this is fine.]
You are?

She may have sided with him (mostly) in her Avengers civil war, but yes - Tony Stark is a shameless bastard, it's true. And a hot mess. At least that doesn't change from universe to universe. Y...ay.
"Were you also an Avenger?" Sorry, Emma.

[ He tries not to act smug about catching her off guard. ]
You mean you don't know?
[ So much for not acting smug. Stop rubbing it in, Strange. Even with your magic, she could still get an attack in. ]
Doctor Stephen Strange.

[A quick chuckle.] Fair enough.
Does that happen often to people? [Should she be concerned about turning into something made of another substance?]

Hm. Is that the official name for it?
[ She smirks weakly at the lame pun, hardly expecting an answer. She brushes some hair aside gingerly, the strands sticking slightly to the blood on her temple. ]
Sonic tech... [ She mulls it over for a moment. ] Well, why not? As long as that's all it does.

The man is surprised, Luke thinks. Shocked, almost. He wonders what caused the reaction. He doesn't seem too fazed by the explanation about the age change, given his reply to Luke. Luke isn't unfamiliar with the impossible...that's been part of his life ever since he left home.
"I'm used to things that seem hard to believe. But I know that there are still probably a lot of things in the universe that would still shock me. " he replied. "It's hard to imagine what could be even worse than this, though."
He was still studying the face, trying to understand it. It couldn't be his father, but the look, the voice...Luke had only heard his father's true voice a couple of times, but it was so similar. This man could be his twin.
He tried not to stare or seem rude as he waited for a reply.

[ His ladies' man image has been suffering immensely around here, what with his serial monogamy problem. Some extremely half-hearted, empty flirting is really all he has to show for himself. Pep'd be proud, not that he's gonna say anything about it. She already knows.
He gives her a sly look that really isn't all that sly. ]
I'm afraid to give names. You're a dangerous woman, Ms. Potts.

[ Pepper's lips flatten as she presses them tightly together in effort to stem a smirk in response, but it's a lost cause -- the corner of her mouth twitches, blue eyes alight with warm amusement.
This silly banter is infinitely better than facing the reality right now. ]
Oh, it's true. I might fly into a fit, maybe throw things. It would be an ugly, ugly scene-- completely terrible.

Was?
[ It's a soft query, almost absentminded as she stays still for the examination-- indicative that she isn't really pushing for an answer, here. ]
Well, I'm glad to have ran into you, regardless. [ She gives a tiny nod of understanding at the diagnosis. ] Alright. I can find my way to medical, if you have... elsewhere to be.
[ It comes out perhaps a bit sheepishly as it occurs to her just how silly that sounded. It's not like any of them have anywhere else to go -- but maybe his talents would better serve someone with injuries worse than hers. ]

[ He makes a noncommittal hum, not really wanting to go into details about why he isn't one anymore. But he huffs a small laugh at that. ]
I do but I have no way of getting there. So. I am at your service, if you wish.
[ He gestures in the direction of the medical tents they had set up. ]
Or at least show you the way.

As it stands, her and Scott are just friends. Still getting to know each other. She misses him, though. Misses all her friends. She ends up sitting down on her legs, joining Logan on the ground. She was still pretty tired from using so much of her powers.
"A teacher? Me?" She breathes out a laugh, not really able to believe it. She'd had a hard time just trying to be a competent first-time gardener on the ship after she arrived. The thought of becoming a teacher... It was difficult to swallow when she still had a hard time opening up to people.
Jean shakes her head again, brow creasing as she looks back at Logan, "But that still doesn't make any sense. You were at Striker's base. They had you in this..." She stops, not sure if she should continue in case it would upset him.

[ Ignoring shitty circumstances that they're powerless to immediately change has served them well thus far, and likely won't stop. And anyway, this is the most uplifting conversation he's had in weeks.
A grin momentarily breaks through - he can't help it - but then he's rearranging his expression into something carefully contemplative, like he's suddenly seriously considering this scenario. He leans forward, conspiratorial. ]
... You know what? I take it back. Start with somebody named Hawke.
[ But really, jokes aside, the thought of Pepper in the same room with some of the fools he's befriended around here is too beautiful to pass up. ]

Nah it's you.
[raises his brows]
Mmm, good. Don't wanna have to see 'em scrape you off a rock.

You think my thoughts exactly. How uncanny.
[Hawke is 100% serious and so doesn't mind the jab. That is sort of her way of going about things. Unfortunately people still manage to be disappointed and to demand further things. It's the worst.
Then she gives a shrug.]
Perhaps. Or maybe the only one gullible enough to keep agreeing to all these tasks from strangers. Perhaps I ought to start a suggestion box and draw one randomly each day.

Apparently. They went down to the planet to accept some kinda blessing...and like monkey paws you get what you paid for.

[Kurt huffs, blowing his bangs out of his face.
He'll just have to be the more mature one this time.]
... thank you, by the way.

[it honestly doesn't take long for Badou to slurp his meal down, and once he does, he smacks his lips again.]
No problem. You won't owe me much-- just enough bank to buy an island.

[He's a little slower, more meticulous with his spoon and all, but it doesn't take him too long to finish either. Apparently, the tiny blue boy had been hungrier than he'd thought.]
... wh-what? [he asks with a little squeak,] I don't have any money!

Believe me, it is.
[his tone is a little more firm; the sonic amplifier was originally a tool to harm people, but lúcio turned it around.
he turns on the healing beats, but keeps the volume low. he figures a head wound might come with a headache, so pepper will only hear a very faint wub track.]
That helping?

[How about some obnoxious whining, Badou?]
Child slave labor!
