They hadn't been with them long truly, but the Mutant Underground was family. At least, he'd considered them family so their abrupt disappearance after everything they'd been through together was frustrating. And now? He was just happy they were back where they were supposed to be. [Color=CC99FF]”V why would I want you dead? I t'ought you said it was an enormous amount of magic t'at does you in. T'is? T'is is like t'e baseline average amount of magic. T'en again I can't see magic so… maybe I can't gauge it as well? But Aggie and Pa ‘ave it all covered!”[/color] Dorian remarked back, a bit shocked that Vicky would even imply and malicious tendencies to come from a superhero. James had been ready to step in when Danni invited everyone just to start heading to the house, but a phone call distracted him thankfully. Danni leading a charge on the house was likely to devolve into absolute chaos. [color=mediumspringgreen]“Don't take too long on your call, kiddo. You got guests over.”[/color] James said quietly to his son, ruffling his hair, and clapped Dorian on the shoulder. [color=mediumspringgreen]“Not even introducing your own family? Making us do it ourselves? I'm wounded.”[/color] James teased before holding his hand out to shake Percy's. [color=mediumspringgreen]“Welcome to the…”[/color] James paused as Percy shook his hand, a bit robotically, but he could feel the pounding in Percy's head, the nausea, the light sensitivity. It was familiar, almost an afterthought but it felt just like Casper trying to hide a hangover. [color=mediumspringgreen] “Family. I'm James. If you're ever hurting, don't hesitate to let me know. Even if you can't figure it out, [i]I can.[/i]”[/color] James offered, before patting Dorian one more time and heading to round up his errant husband so they could get everyone settled in. [Color=CC99FF]”But you guys do such a good job of doin’ it yourselves! Besides I've told t'em loads of stories about all of you so it's like ‘e already knows you!”[/color] Dorian replied back to James before hearing Danni mention April's name. He bolted over towards the call, pressing his ear against the other side of the phone as well so he was cheek to cheek with Danni. [Color=CC99FF]”April!!!!! Did you guys arrive ok?! ‘ow is t'e ‘otel? Which one are you at so we can visit maybe? Oh you ‘ave to come over for dinner at least!”[/color] He chimed in, unsure if she could hear him or not. [color=E948FC]“Waaaa, Dee! ‘old on, Princess we gotta… Wait, where's Amélie? Amélie! What are you-? No, stop chasin’ t’e bugs! Come on, you gotta meet t’e ‘rents in person!”[/color] He yelled back through the portal. Amélie grumbled and snorted a puff of smoke, still too little for real fire, and bounded through the portal with Amour close behind, pushing through Andy and Casper’s legs and hooking her claws into Danni's clothes to climb him and take her rightful place on his shoulder. [color=E948FC] “Okay, what’s up, Princess?”[/color] There was a brief moment of silence as they listened to April and then… [color=E948FC]"[/color][color=E84BFC]W[/color][color=E74EFC]H[/color][color=E650FC]A[/color][color=E553FC]T[/color][color=E456FD]?[/color][color=E359FD]![/COLOR] [COLOR=E15EFD]P[/COLOR][COLOR=E061FD]O[/COLOR][COLOR=DF64FD]I[/COLOR][COLOR=DE67FD]S[/COLOR][COLOR=DD6AFD]S[/COLOR][COLOR=DC6CFD]O[/COLOR][COLOR=DB6FFD]N[/COLOR][COLOR=DA72FE]-[/COLOR][COLOR=D975FE]P[/COLOR][COLOR=D877FE]A[/COLOR][COLOR=D77AFE]S[/COLOR] [COLOR=D580FE]I[/COLOR][COLOR=D483FE]S[/COLOR] [COLOR=D288FE]D[/COLOR][COLOR=D18BFE]E[/COLOR][COLOR=D08EFF]A[/COLOR][COLOR=CF91FF]D[/COLOR][COLOR=CE93FF]?[/COLOR][COLOR=CD96FF]![/COLOR][COLOR=CC99FF]”[/COLOR]
