"Don’t even joke like that. "

"Yeah, I’m a little concerned by this one, not gonna lie…"

"So try i what head of the record label? Never thought that bastard could be more terrifying"a

"Don't even joke like that. "

"Yup"

"Gonna need more ta go on. Ah ain’ no detective."

"I’m their old boss. I’m here to help out"

"Alrigh’… Not sure wha’ wit’ but." Jeb nods anyway before offering a hand. "Name’s Jebediah Guthrie, folks call me Jeb."

"Jamie Madrox" He took the boys hand and shook it

"Yup"

"Gonna need more ta go on. Ah ain’ no detective."

"I'm their old boss. I'm here to help out"

"Exactly. I can at least help with a budget and stuff, or with consturction if you need it. One of my dupes spent his time getting a degree in architecture and if I can get enough helpful ones together we could build anything" His eyes furrowed "Yeah i’m glad to know i’m not...

"Oh yeah, that pissed me off too. He's making it worse. He dosen't know it but he's making it worse. Honestly, I think his brother's making things worse.. but Scott's doing a better job of being a symbol for mutant kind than he is. The guy who killed what was basically our martin luther king, and yet is supportive of humans trying to help mutants, isn't attacking unless attacking first. and is generally inspiring mutantkind. THe figures who are SUPPOSED to be doing that are are an angry man who should've known enough to get a few more x-menn or former x-men on the unity team, and say no to wanda, and a moron who's ashamed of what he is, 

"Yup"

"I… i’m just going to say two things: I’m proud of you and I want to help. your still the boss, you call the shots, but frankly.. I like that there’s another option besides either having to be an outlaw or having to sign up with a guy who clearly wouldn’t know how to bridge the gap between humanity and mutantkind if it bit him on the ass. Or logan. "

"I… thanks. We wouldn’t say no to getting a little help around here. Well, I might have a few choice words to say to Alex if he came and offered help, but we wouldn’t turn you down at all. You’re an idiot but at least you’re an idiot who knows how to run things sometimes." 

"Exactly. I can at least help with a budget and stuff, or with consturction if you need it. One of my dupes spent his time getting a degree in architecture and if I can get enough helpful ones together we could build anything" His eyes furrowed "Yeah i'm glad to know i'm not the only one to hate him. And it's not just the leaving us, and most importantly leaving lorna. I mean we've lost members before. It sucks but it happens. But we were hemorgaing members, we needed him and he bailed to go sell us all out. I'm all for using the avengers to try and bost mutant rep, but I see maybe two x-men on there, one arrogant douchebag, 3 or 4 avengers, one of which should NOT be on there, one of which who most mutant and every ex-mutant hates. "

"I do honestly"

"Oh don’t get me wrong, I like everybody. But Lorna’s part of the new x-factor, monet hates my guts, havok’s playing uncle tom and darwins god knows where. You guys are the only ones besdies thresa I could get on a moments notice. And shatterstar didn’t phrase it that way.....

Oh god, a dupe…the last person she wanted to see was Jamie and his damned dupes. And a hotel room, great, that’s where she needed to be with him. She kept uncharacteristically silent, too tired and drunk to have the conversation she knew had to happen. All this on top of the telepath was too much to take.

"What happened?" He knew she probably did’t wannt to see a dupe but he didn’t want her to fall over drunk in the rain

"Telepath, and not the nice kind." she muttered. "Brought up stuff from when I was a kid to torture me with…stuff even you don’t know." Theresa shivered in the cold rain, soaked to the skin.

"Ah the "bring up repessed memories to try and drive you insane kind" got it. And I won't pry. Whatever they were, they drove you to drink." Jamie finally got to the hotel and reaborobed the room, escorting thresa into his hotel room. "I"ll go get some towels and i've got some clothes int he suitcase. I know my style's not really yours but you need to get into something dry and I dont' think either of us would be comfortable with you strutting around naked"

"Oh yeah, the whole gang seems to be coming back into focus, but, and i’m not just saying this, you guys are my to pick.. after thresa. and don’t take that personally, but she’s a magical guardian type dealie now who’s already saved my ass once. That just barely edges out two great guys who’d come running at a moments notice. And you guys could probably stay for a while provided your students wouldn’t mind. But I do have to give it up to the woman who saved me and somehow got me undemond… or that may of just been natural I still don’t get it". 

"I’ll be sure not to tell the others that you said so. And dude, no offense taken, I would pick Terry over you guys pretty much any day. Not just cause of the whole guardian thing either, I just know that I can trust her at all times. Seriously, Jamie, we don’t have any students. Josh and Jeb are living with us right now, but that’s it." He shrugged. "I have no idea why you’re not demony anymore, dude. I’m just as confused by this shit as you."

"Oh don't get me wrong, I like everybody. But Lorna's part of the new x-factor, monet hates my guts, havok's playing uncle tom and darwins god knows where. You guys are the only ones besdies thresa I could get on a moments notice. And shatterstar didn't phrase it that way.. but then again shatterstar. It seems like if that's the case then your really just doing what scott and them did during the first x-factor. taking in mutants who need to be rescued and , now a days, don't wan tto be a part of the great mutant  pissing contest"

"Thresea?!" jamie honestly didn’t know which one was more suprising to find during a trip to his old stomping grounds. That thresa was back to normal or that she’d gone of the wagon.

She looked up, eyes wide. “Jamie…is it really you or one of your dupes?” Either way she was in no shape emotionally to deal with him and took another drink.

"Really me. " jamie glared at the bottle before softening his face once again "Thresa put that down. Please. If not for me than for you, "

Theresa sighed and let go of it, making no attempt to get up because, honestly, she probably couldn’t do so. She was a bit of a lightweight these days but that didn’t stop her from putting over half the bottle away before Jamie appeared out of the blue.

At least he didn’t say ‘get her in to bed’. She’d have punched him, of she were able, had he said that. Reluctantly she took his hand and slowly got to her unsteady feet.

"I’m enjoying it while it lasts. Things are damn volatile right now and there isn’t a huge anti-mutant group that i’m aware of, nor any sentinels. I’ts only a matter of time till one or the other pops up and well… two mutants with a mutant kid on the way without an army of x-men to protect them. Kind of a big giant neon target. Not the kind that makes statments, but the kind that’s a good dry run. speaking of which, wether you admit you have students or not, watch yourself. and all of this is less detective work and more just having lived in the mutant community for most of my life"

"You and me both. I actually managed something of a honeymoon, which I wasn’t expecting. But hey, not looking that one in the mouth, I’m just gonna take it. Yeah, that’s… if you two need some sort of protection, you know where to find Star and me. And he’s decided that he really loves little kids, plus he likes Layla. So he’ll be down for being a horrifying gladiator body guard for you guys and the kid."
