WHO: Domino and Cable
WHERE: X-force HQ
WHEN: Tonight at supper time
WARNINGS: Cable and Domino logs are always hideous so you're warned.
SUMMARY: It's supper time y'all, so Dom and Nate talk a little over their food.
FORMAT: Quicklog!



[She's only been back for a few days now, but already Domino has fallen back into routine. Patrolling, X-forcing it up and training; she's back on track. Also time with Nate again isn't so bad, not that she'd ever say it out loud. She'd missed him. Now, they're simply eating supper together. It's not at all fancy, but it's them.]

Hnn.

[She leans back in her chair.]

I didn't get in trouble, you know.

[He pauses, actually thinking about this. He's felt so useless lately. All this power and he hasn't gone anywhere near to what he used to have. Part of that was fear that a safe haven in this world would go the same way as Providence. Another part was the nonsensical idea that he could be ported away at any second and return to his mission, protecting Hope.

But each day, it felt like he was getting farther from his own world.]

Yes.

[luckpuns.livejournal.com]

From the sounds of things, he could use the help.

[Dom knows they don't need another Providence, but she trusted him with Rumekistan and she trusts him now.]

[holycablechrist.livejournal.com]

I'll think about it.

[He'll go.]

[luckpuns.livejournal.com]

Think about it, right.

[She knows. Domino takes another drink.]

[holycablechrist.livejournal.com]

What about Sam?

[Domino has to deal with Nazis. Shatterstar is now a humanitarian. What about golden boy?]

[luckpuns.livejournal.com]

He's got his dead brother, his million jobs and the New Mutants to deal with, last I checked.

[Pauses]

You talk to Bobby at all?

[holycablechrist.livejournal.com]

Barely. He's also busy with the X-Men.

[Grumble, grumble.]

His mind isn't set on juggling two teams right now. Girls on the other hand...

[luckpuns.livejournal.com]

As per usual.

[Rolls her eyes.]

Think he's still adjusting to the city.

[holycablechrist.livejournal.com]

It's been a year and I'm still not adjusted.

[luckpuns.livejournal.com]

I am, gotta admit. Nothing around this place really throws me off anymore.

[holycablechrist.livejournal.com]

[He's silent for a minute before continuing.]

How long were you away?

[luckpuns.livejournal.com]

Couple months.

[Shrugs.]

Why?

[holycablechrist.livejournal.com]

You're doing well for having just been thrown back here.

[He shrugs his shoulders also and pushes aside his plate with his TK.]

[luckpuns.livejournal.com]

Well I was here a near year before my field trip home.

[Looks at him.]

I always deal.

[holycablechrist.livejournal.com]

I know.

[Remember that time Cable faked his death? Good times.]

[luckpuns.livejournal.com]

[What time? He does that a lot.]

It's not so bad here. When you're not knee deep in zombies.

[That was kind of fun though. Well, up until she had to kill Cable.]

[holycablechrist.livejournal.com]

Not as much responsibility for one.

[He wasn't sure whether he liked that or not. He had to keep moving, had to keep working, and he felt like a sitting duck here waiting for the next catastrophe to strike the City.]

[luckpuns.livejournal.com]

[They were sitting ducks, honestly.]

Don't worry, Nate. I'm sure you'll get your random trip home. It happens to most of us.

[holycablechrist.livejournal.com]

I have to take care of her.

[He stood up, taking a few steps away from the table. It was already dark out--pitch black actually and the cafeteria was lit by the dull, washed out lights they managed to get working. He clenched his fists and stared out the windows, into the far out city.]

[luckpuns.livejournal.com]

[Her gaze focuses on him as he walks away. Domino knows he hates being stuck here and the second they find a way home, that's where he'll be going.]

I saw her.
