I need to sleep…
I’m exhausted but everything is foreign… and it scares me. Well… I wouldn’t really say scared. More of nervousness of the unknown. I don’t know what friends I have in this future… and worst of all, I don’t know who my enemies are.
I don’t know what I’ve managed to accomplish or how so many people know me… but hopefully I’ll be able to make it safely through the night…
baby-snikt asked: To MY Quentin... I miss you. Please figure out a way to come home... -Love, Daken
*Old Quentin reads and frowns heavily* … I wish I could give this to him… *sighs and lays it on the desk for New Quentin to hopefully get.*
But… I just have telepathy! I can hide that so easily! I can be normal! I mean… my parents said I was normal and everything. *smiles weakly*
Oh… Quen… *Holds out his arms and hugs him* I… I can’t tell you what happens… But…
*flinches in the hug a little bit but sighs.* Whatever it is… It sounds pretty bad… I was talking to my mom yesterday… She said we were going to go on a family vacation in a few weeks… Does something bad happen on vacation? Oh god, do I end up getting caught in an explosion or something that warps me?! *panic*
No NO no!!! Nothing physically, besides the hair dye… I just… *sighs* Your parents disown you because you’re a mutant…
………………….. NO. You are full of lies and deceit! You were sent here to lure me in to a trap! My parents would do no such thing! They are on tough of my because they want to see me succeed! THEY LOVE ME! *pulls away from him and runs*
But… I just have telepathy! I can hide that so easily! I can be normal! I mean… my parents said I was normal and everything. *smiles weakly*
Oh… Quen… *Holds out his arms and hugs him* I… I can’t tell you what happens… But…

Oh, Jesus, calm down! I didn’t mean it!!

Oh, Jesus, calm down! I didn’t mean it!!
Y-You didn’t? *bits his lip* Oh… Okay, I’m really sorry though… *adjusts his glasses* I don’t know what happened…
*flinches away a little* It sounds awful! I mean… *huffs* I don’t want to go through a bunch of crap! I just want to be Quentin Quire! Finish school… go home to my family and live a normal life!

Oh, Jesus, calm down! I didn’t mean it!!
Y-You didn’t? *bits his lip* Oh… Okay, I’m really sorry though… *adjusts his glasses* I don’t know what happened or why I’m here or why all these people who don’t even know I exist are talking to me…
People who don’t know…
….. *frowns heavily and looks at him.* … I don’t think I wants to be a mutant anymore… I don’t like this at all… *shakes his head*
Oh, Jesus, calm down! I didn’t mean it!!
Y-You didn’t? *bits his lip* Oh… Okay, I’m really sorry though… *adjusts his glasses* I don’t know what happened or why I’m here or why all these people who don’t even know I exist are talking to me…
People who don’t know you exist? Quentin… Look, the Quentin I know, all these people know he exists and cares for him… You get there one day. You also dye your hair pink and go around sexually frustrating Daken.
Dye my hair pink?! What kind of loser AM I in the future?! *blinks, starring at him in disbelief.* I just… I don’t understand how I possibly get all this attention. I’m not even that strong. Telepathy isn’t really that impressive unless you have telekinesis to go with it. I don’t. I’m just smart.
*wraps an arm around his shoulders* You’re so much more than that. Daken falls for you partially because of your brains. Partially because of you being an anarchist and that riots turn him on… Mostly because he knows you’re amazing.
….. *looks up at him in horror* Riots?! Anarchist?! I’m sorry, what? *pulls away* Why in all the name of science would I be in to riots and anarchy!? That goes against the very fabrics of society!
sexy-spangled-free-man said: If you so think that dying your hair and pulling on the innocent act is going to keep you out of trouble, you got another thing coming… *balls hand into a fist* Back in my day, a good solid strapping was the perfect answer to disregard for rules.
W-What?! It’s not my fault! I… I… *looks around then hunkers down and covers his head* I swear I’m innocent! I don’t know what future me did to bring me here but it sounds like we switched places!
P-Please don’t hit me! I’m sorry! *starts to cry.*
*death glare recedes*
Oh dear. I’m not going to hit you, kid. You really are from the past, aren’t you? I kind of expected you to lash out at me like you did last time… Unless this is a trick. Here, um… *grabs his handkerchief* Use this.
*hesitantly reaches out and takes the handkerchief, rubbing his eyes on it before handing it back.* T-Thanks… Please don’t get mad at me… I really don’t know what’s going on… or even how you know I exist… I mean… I’m just a student at Xavier’s… I’ve got telepathy… that’s it… I’m smart but… That’s not enough to get the attention of someone like you…
