So, in the past few weeks I've been:

• Burnt, frozen -- twice! -- and  then screamed at so loudly that it felt like I was burning; which, lemme tell ya? Is murder on the ear drums,
• Slammed through a wall, then another wall, then a third and a fourth, all because I asked a suspiciously girl-shaped monster if she'd lost her way,
• Had to catch the same gang of crooks more times than I would've liked, and then had to watch them break out of prison and almost get eaten by what looked like a flock of fire hydrants with teeth. Yeah, time travel? Not cool when it's wild.
• Forced to squeeze pennies like I was trying to give the inside of hand a tattoo of good ol' honest Abe, which is just nuts. I mean, seriously -- I know we're in a recession and whatnot, but a gallon of milk is five dollars and I'm officially the most broke healthy person on the planet!

And now, Valentine's day is coming up. The big two-fourteen: bane of every single person and job-addicted superhero everywhere. I've got good memories of the day from back home, but truth be told? Manhattan is not the place you want to be come dusk on Valentine's day. Especially if you main mode of transportation is web swinging at a height of just high enough to not have to deal with all the lovey-dovey proclamations of, well, love; but, also not so high that you can't help but accidentally see couples in pent houses getting, ah -- well, you get my point!

[ A beat, as if he's thinking of something. ]

What were your Valentine's days like, before you came here? Can't be worse than mine, I bet.

That my height is genetic and has nothing to do with what I eat. Besides, if I didn't eat that stuff, I'd be a skeleton and you know it.

[She sticks her tongue out at him.]

I was shorter before I was deaged, you know. And you live off junk food.

[Ick Jubilee.]

Pardon me for wanting to shove you all full of veggies and fruits.

Re: [ACTION]

[thelittlestbub]

I eat perfectly fine! Or at least whatever Frances shoves at me.

[Meaning she eats a helluva lot better than you.]

besides, you're one to talk. At least I don't only live off of coffee.

Re: [ACTION]

[magnetic_magpie]

Francis is good for that.

[He's old. He's allowed.]

I don't. You're not the only one soaking under sunlamps, you know.

[Or. Other sources.]

Re: [ACTION]

[thelittlestbub]

I soak under sunlamps because otherwise I get way depressed and lose my tan. And that's not the same as eating and you know it.

Re: [ACTION]

[magnetic_magpie]

It's not that different for me, though.

[He sighs.]

I'll be fine. I promise.

[Even better, because Lucifer has fixed his shoulder.]

Re: [ACTION]

[thelittlestbub]

It's not the same, Michael. And you know that, no matter what your body decides.

[Nope, crossing her arms and glaring.]

Do I need to tattle to Francis, Emma, and Unohana?

[Because she will.]

Re: [ACTION]

[magnetic_magpie]

[He fixes her a return glare.]

I don't need minding Jubilee. The last few days have been rough. The next few will be. And then things will even out.

Re: [ACTION]

[thelittlestbub]

[She'll be ignoring that thanks...]

That seems to be the refrain of all mutants doesn't it? Especially ones like us. And yes you do need minding. Because otherwise, you get bored and start taking over the world.

[Now, she's joking. Mostly.]

Taking over the island wouldn't be such a bad thing.

[Only half teasing, but he's relaxing a little.]
