i don't give a _

“1973?” words were soft, almost taken back by the new information. her expression remains neutral but inside she’s slightly freaking out. who’d watch her cats back home? more so, who’d watch her home period? surely someone would find the makeshift home she’d created in the many abandoned buildings of new york. and even though she reflected neutral features, anyone could feel the pure annoyance radiating off ava. “fantastic.” she tried her hardest not to come to the 70′s. not because she didn’t want to fight nor did it mean she wouldn’t but, the tiger was on a mission. one that involved taking down the man who took her family. glancing about the mansion she lets out a sigh, arms crossed. “so, we’re basically stuck here?”

Chase had to admit that since arriving in the seventies, he had been caught up with the culture and taking it all in. In turn, he felt he hadn’t spent as much time with Gert as he should have. So here he was, in her room, setting up something romantic for her. He had arranged some candles around the room and found an old film she loved on tape (he wouldn’t admit it but he actually loved the old school tech). He heard the door opena nd he turned to see Gert with Old Lace. “Hey…”

gert tried to find a job, fiddling way too much with the peasant top and bellbottoms that she wore that day. as much as the outfit annoyed her, it was the fact that none of the places she went to were even hiring. or, well..they didn’t want to hire her. as she walked through the halls of the mansion with old lace behind her, gert wanted nothing more than to plop down on her bed and rest her eyes until it was time for dinner. she opened the door and was surprised to see chase had set up candles around the room. her eyes widened, a smile starting to appear as well. “chase..” she trailed off. gert definitely wasn’t expecting this. she let out a nervous laugh. “i..you did this? this is..amazing.” 

it wasn’t unusual for Robbie to wake up without a single clue as to where he was. he had a tendency of taking over whenever it was convenient though Robbie had thought he’d learned how to suppress eli to avoid these kinds of situations. but when he jolted awake, head bumping against the roof of his car, robbie didn’t panic immediately. he clambered out of the car, head swiveling from left to right as he took in the place. his eyes narrowed as realization kicked in the more he saw, from the mansion to the large gates. they sure as hell didn't have those in los angeles , at least not where he lived. “eli, you hijo de la ching-“ he stopped himself from finishing his curse and leaned against the hood of his car, hands rubbing his face. how was he supposed to get back to gabe now? “hey, you!” he called out suddenly, jumping up from where he was sitting. “got any idea where the hell I am? or how far I am from Canelo’s?”

    an exasperated sigh airing from temporarily constricted lungs as the wiccan’s sepia hues fleet over her staff, nico finally murmurs lowly, “i have got to stop watching friends reruns and start paying attention to the news more.”

a familiar voice causes gert to turn around, a hand still on old lace’s head. the dinosaur hummed (growled?) at the sight of a familiar friend. “nico?” despite the skepticism, she was excited to see a friend. “when did you get here?”

Steve walked into the main living room of the house and set down several bags of take away food onto the table, leaving quietly before returning just moments later with several boxes of drink. “I thought maybe everyone could use a little pep-up, seeing as we did so well.” He shrugged, cracking open his own can of soda before sitting down. “I got Chinese, Indian, some kinda American processed stuff, and obviously beer and some pop. I hope it’s alright?”

gert was perched by the window, petting old lace’s head which was peeking through. despite the success of the mission, the fact that so much of the people actually wanted to refuse help from most of them really left her in disbelief. “well, it is the 70′s..” the sudden arrival of another person surprised her a bit. she observed as the other brought some food and drinks. as if on cue, her stomach grumbled a bit as she forgot to eat that morning. she gave a small smile to the other. “thanks.” she motioned for old lace to stay calm as she looked over the variety of food. “it’s more than alright, honestly. it’s..a lot. um..i think some chinese would be good. for her and for me.” gert said, gesturing to her friend.

he could sense the fear surrounding him, from the panicked humans not sure whether to be more afraid of the bomb threat or that the dreaded residents of xavier’s mansion were there to help. kon ignored the boy who frantically screamed and squabbled as he lifted him and two other children out of the stadium. “geez, chill! let me save you in peace.” he rolled his eyes behind his tinted shades as he finally dropped them off to safety. “you can thank me later.” he saluted with a smug grin, then flew back to the bleachers, noticing one of the heroes struggling. “here, leave it to me! i know what i’m doing.”

“The 1970s won’t be as groovy as the future makes them seem if I’m forced to join an alliance in this timeline too.” Rogue said to herself as she checked herself in the mirror. She had heard someone say that sometimes time travel could mess up genetics, and if that was the case then she hoped that her power had been taken away from her. Of course that was not going to be deducted just from staring at her reflection, so turning on her heels and taking off her gloves, she walked up to whoever it was that she spotted first and approached them with a stretched out her hand. “Hi, I’m Anna… nice to meet you.” She said with a bright smile, hoping that using her real name would give no association to Rogue.

fiddling with the paper bag of meat she had gotten from the fridge, gert struggled to hold it steady as she tried to avoid as much people as possible. sure, a lot of them seemed like they could do weird things, but she could bet they don’t have a dinosaur that they can communicate with telepathically.
