[Billy's taken some time to get his bearings again here. When he was here the last time, he was sent home and time had passed, he'd come back to only find a few days had passed. Coming back now and finding that it's been nine months is a bit of a shock. He's used a few locating spells to try and find his friends but so far nothing's come up. Tommy, Kate, Teddy, even Erik, it seems, are all gone. Not very surprising considering how long it's been but still, after everything that happened with Doom, he feels more lonely now than ever. He's praying that maybe something is going on and he just can't pick up on them, that they're still around.]

... Hey. Uhm. This is Billy Kaplan. I was here for about half a year until August. Looks like I was gone for awhile. A really long while. Just... wondering if there's anyone still around who remembers me. Or if there's anyone who knows about the Avengers or Young Avengers. If you could talk to me, that'd be great.

There was also someone here named Michael Xavier when I was around. He's... important to me and it looks like he's not in the city anymore. If someone could tell me what happened to him, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

The pleasure is mine.

[It's said pleasantly enough, but there is the distinct feeling that Crowley could honestly care less. He's not in a good mood -- and he's affected by the guilt illness, which is wearing him down. It's all it takes for him to not start coughing up his lungs.]

How do you know Doctor Xavier?

He's my grandfather.

[There is a weak, choked laugh.]

He has a family? Pity the woman who slept with him, no offense to your existence.

[He lets out a long breath to focus on the conversation at hand and not the illness wreaking havoc on his host.]

I hate to break it to you, but your grandfather is something of a murdering psychopath. Un-invite him to the reunion. Send a vague card instead of a tie for Father's Day. Etc. Etc.

[He kind of bristles at that.]

Yeah, well, that was years ago and he's different now.

He killed me two months ago.

[Tiredly. He's shoving his dog away from his face with as much energy as he can muster.]

Believe what you want, I've come to the conclusion that the majority of the people from your universe are stupid.

.... What? Why?

Because he thought killing a demon was fun.

[Blithely.]

Good luck getting a hold of him to ask why, he seems to be hiding underneath a rock like the roach he is. Or dead, whichever explanation you feel like believing today.

If he killed someone, he must have had a reason for it. [He's not flat out denying that Erik could have killed someone because... he has before plenty of times, but Billy doesn't completely believed he'd kill just for no reason at all.]

Apparently a demon in his universe needed to be killed and he decided to use me to see whether or not it could be done.

[It's a shame that killing Crowley doesn't prove anything.]

... Do you know who this demon was? His name?

I don't exactly speak to Magneto anymore.

I'm sure you can understand why.

I understand.

... If what you say is true, then for what it's worth, I'm sorry he killed you. Not that that does a lot of good now, but killing is never okay, no matter what.

I'll add your apology next to my copious fruit baskets I've received after the incident.

[Well, not much else he can say to that.]

[there is a wheedled cough before -- ]

I would simply be wary of what you hear.

That's all.

And don't be surprised if he doesn't bother contacting you.
