Living Quarters: Will and Sara's room

"Really, if anyone should hate someone, I should hate HIM--HE'S the one who had a chance to stop it..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:40 pm

"No one should blame anyone. We'll go back, save the Princess and all of this will never happen, you hear me? No anti-mutant laws, no Sentinels, no... tanks and shock troops..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:41 pm

"Why the hell didn't we in the first place?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:45 pm

"I don't know..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:48 pm

"Well, did FutureMe tell you anything? He must have been there...he must have an idea..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:59 pm

"He just said we're free to give it a shot, but he didn't sound very optimistic about it..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:09 pm

"Well, why not!

God, if I ever get the pessimistic, whack me with a two-by-four."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:12 pm

"Yeah, I doubt we could make it worse."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:15 pm

Will nodded.

"And what the hell is up with him and riddles? He could teach me so much, but instead he whips me around and speaks in puzzles and I don't KNOW what."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:19 pm

"He... has a pretty set idea about how your 'problems' should be fixed..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:24 pm

"Hrm? By riddles? Should I work more with Professor Weaver?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:29 pm

"No, he thinks I should decide how to 'form' you instead of letting Bear and McDohl and Rachel and everyone pull you in eight different directions..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:30 pm

"Eh? What do you mean by that?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:35 pm

"He thinks everyone's putting too many different ideas in your head."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:39 pm

"Compared to what? Everyone gets ideas from places..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:50 pm

"He was talking about clay and how it's flexible and 'weak' when it's being formed and that you gotta have a plan in mind before you bake it..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:51 pm

"He doesn't want you to stick me in an oven, does he?" he said, startled, taking it far too literally.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:57 pm

"Of course not. It was a metaphor. Like, too many cooks spoil the broth or something."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:59 pm

"Oh. Well, there's a hint of truth in that, buuut..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 6:01 pm

"He just wants me to... to streamline your learning process so you're strong enough by the time they... well by the time they get me."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 6:05 pm

"..."

"And what did you say?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 2:10 am

"That I'm not gonna 'sculpt' you or anything and that he's being too hard on himself. Then he went and beat the crap out of you."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 2:14 am

"And did quite a good job," he said, nonplussed.

He sighed, and lay down. "Now I gotta wonder if his advice was really important or it's more molding...and what his plan B is."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 3:11 am

"I don't think you should just discard what he said. Just don't take it as gospel, I guess? I'm still hoping what he wants to prepare you for won't ever come to pass in the first place..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 3:16 am

"Yeah...

Now, did he mean in a 'wall me off, get permission slip for anything' way? Or in a 'stone soup' sorta way?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 3:24 am

"I don't know! He just... wants me to guide you or something. Help you focus on things instead of jumping from idea to idea or something."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 3:25 am

"Hrmph. Who's he to be talking," he grumbled.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 3:33 am

"Well there's a tiny bit of truth in it..." she says carefully.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 3:36 am

"Hrm?" he said, looking up at her.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 3:45 am

"Like... Rachel and McDohl. They just stroll into your head and while I know Rachel means well I have no idea what all those people mucking around inside your mind does to you. Especially after Professor Mcmanus already had to go in there once and fix things."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 3:49 am

"So you agree with him, then."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:01 am

"Well he mentioned a couple of things that wasn't exactly happy to hear about..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:01 am

"Go on. He should know better than to try to use you to keep secrets from me," he said.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:14 am

"Just... stuff I didn't know. Like that McDohl can just hop on by your mental defenses or that Nina knows where to poke to make you shift. Sounded like everyone's pulling you in different directions and knows more about that stuff than I do..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:20 am

"...do you want me to stop practicing?" he asked, seriously.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:24 am

"No, it's just... I don't know... I'm pretty sure he was making it sound worse than it is, but I still didn't like it..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:25 am

"Well, how can I help?" he asked, rubbing her belly some. "I want to help."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:31 am

"I don't know. I certainly don't want to make you train for the single purpose of being 'ready' for a day that I don't want to see happening anyway. I think it's good that you're trying all kinds of things to see what works. I'm just not happy with the fact that, like, everyone knows things about you that I don't."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:35 am

"Are you saying you just need to know more? Or I should train more solo so other people know less? Or what are we talking about?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:54 am

"Will I don't know! I've just spent the day listening to how I died, seeing you turned into a bitter shell of yourself and having a grown-up daughter I don't even know! It's too much, okay? I don't know what to make of the things he told me."
