Don't call me Legion

Late Night Rainfall by Relax Sleep ASMR

Why do I always seem to attract that type to me, hmm? Do I just scream ‘come pour your mentally deragged goodness all over my sou’l or something?”

“soo aside frum bein’ right mental, whit ye daein', ya dobber?”  he honestly looked more annoyed than anything... having someone like Daken act as though he were superior made the mutant Telepath’s nose crease. 

The question of who he was made him give pause… dare he say anything and spoil this timeline too? what kind of implications could it have? probably nothing good… Unless Charles didn’t know his last name?  maybe… If he was worried later he could attempt to tamper with Charles’ memories… a tricky thing for him to do but he wasn’t above it.  Had Charles decided to take a look through Davids surface thoughts, he could hear so many voices shouting in his head, so many ideas drifting through and fizzling out.  Probably the only good thing about Davids many personalities, was that they masked his actual thoughts relatively well, especially to someone inexperienced.  “Ah bugger…” he tapped his index finger on the bench…  “Everyone calls me Legion, so I guess ye get tae as well.” he mused.  “Or if ye wan’ ye can call me David.” Brave…. or stupid. it was hard to tell.  “Ye wanna learn about bein’ a Telepath?” he asked, tapping a finger to his own forehead. 

His offer, however, seemed to startle the young patient as his graze dropped like a ton of bricks, thin lips tightly pursed as he stared off to the side, tension seeping into his expression. “I… I’m not so sure I want to know anything more. The last time I learned something new about my abilities, what I could do, it…” He paused for a moment, swallowing a difficult breath. “… it put me in here.”

“I don’ like bein’ called Legion, cuz it’s a title I cannae shake.” he spoke quietly, in person.  “fer bein’ what i am.” for having as many personalities as he had... he was sure Charles could feel them close... “aye, yeh they bite.” he added, just to put Charles on edge a little. 

I was taking a good look at one of the X-Men Legacy covers (issue #9) and the next thing I remember was me drawing David Haller with wings :’)
