[ Wtf, COMPASS. Of course it'd be crap like that. He's not going to ask about home because if she didn't want to go back obviously it isn't that fun. And that's her business, not his.
Lol training. A long suffering sigh, but there's almost a laugh in it. Literal pain in the ass as it is, Magik is basically the best kind of trainer here for him, and ngl, he likes not sucking at everything. ] My schedule's pretty packed. [ the sarcasm ] When's good for you?
I am a teacher. [ Let that sink in before she explains further. ]
No one gets used to death. [ Look, in her world people die and come back all the time. And even they're not okay with it. ] That is why you will not do it a fourth time.
You are going to be the next Jean Grey at this rate.
[ Blink. Stare. He knows she's from the same place Erik is but not how closely they're involved with each other. ] Does Erik have a legit school of weird people he just processes into soldiers? Is that seriously what that is? Like a commune or cult or something? I knew it was a cult...
[ judging a little. Not Satan because Satan is perfect, but judging Erik 5ever. He swallows at 'no one gets used to death' because it's true. its the most goddamn terrifying thing ever and each time is all that much more so because he's just thinking is this the time i'm not going to wake up. So the tone is a little more vacant, but still nonchalant as he can make it. ]
The school is meant to be a place of learning. But things for mutants are not so stable. Myself and others, including an older version of Erik that you know, are wanted criminals. And anyone who supports us is targeted as well.
[ In her world Erik and her are like... friends it's pretty weird tbh.
But she's been down the death road before. It's still a sensitive topic for her. ]
She was a person in our world who would die and return to life. A lot. And it was not her mutant ability, but I am beginning to question that.
Mutants. You seriously call yourselves mutants? [ He'd been joking when he kept calling Erik's meetings Freak Club but wow. ] Wanted for what?
[ Not that that'll really change his opinion on her much, given, if anyone knew what Jackson had gone through, not only would he be in a cell, he'd be in a government lab probably.
A snort for that. ] I'm good not sharing that one. [ a beat ] I almost grew wings after one time. Not sure if that's a pro or con.

Could be worse. Could be the 90s.
[ A soft, humored snort ] You break ribs in a way that makes it difficult to forget.
no subject
It is good to know that going home did not undo that. [ Maybe a little happy he didn't forget her. It's happened. ]
no subject
Didn't really have the chance to.
[ and since he remembered her saying she was staying: ] How was hanging out on the ship?
no subject
Home is always fun.
We need to set up times for training once again. [ Yeah she's not asking if you want to or not. ]

Your schedule is entirely clear. [ There's a smirk to her voice. ]
We will do Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings for three hours. Weekends I will decide upon ever Friday. [ This is light, Jackson. ]
no subject
Three hours? [ And this is the incoming bitching probably no one will ever break him of, lbr ]
I'm not trying out for werewolf Olympics - what do we need three hours for?
no subject
I am not just teaching you control, I am teaching you to survive. If you die, even here, it is a reflection on my poor teaching.
no subject
If I die here it's because COMPASS is really good at killing us. That doesn't really have to do with you.
no subject
That does not mean we cannot reduce the chances of you dying. [ Shut up. She doesn't want you to die, Jackson. Deal with it. ]
no subject
A short snort, because ugu u rly do care dont u satan ] I don't know, after the third death I'm starting to get used to it.
[ he's really not. this is him bullshitting so he doesn't have to talk about how traumatic that is lalala ]

Now you are Angel. You are running through my old teammates.

[ Are you for serious with that, Satan :| Wtf. ]
You had a teammate named Angel? [ arrogant much ]
