Darlings, a few things:

• I've chartered us a jet to Vegas, out Friday, returning Monday. Moira has been informed.
  
• We're staying at the Bellagio - I've gotten us four suites. Pick your roommate. If you're going to fight about it, do so publicly to amuse me.
  
• Who is our current favorite trusted scientist? I've extracted some liquid from my mark and think we should have someone look at it. I'm not sure if Moira is the right choice, so I figured I'd ask all of you.
  
• Once we're back from Vegas I'll update you all on my work with Charles. I want to confirm a few more things before I say anything else.

Additionally, I need some volunteers who would be open to being mind controlled by me in the Danger Room. This is simply for my own practice and nothing nefarious.

It wasn't going to explode or anything, and if it was toxic then it's already inside of us anyways. Having you there wouldn't have changed that.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

And having me -- or anyone -- there wouldn't have hindered you. It could only help. I'm not being irrational to point this out.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

You would have

[...]

[Manny]

I just wanted to do it on my own.

Emma/Manny

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Why?

Emma/Manny

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I didn't want to stress anyone out more than you all already are. The pulse I felt just [...] made me need to know.

Emma/Manny

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Stress is unavoidable right now. You don't need to carry that burden more than anyone else. And if any of us tried, you'd never let us hear the end of it. No? So I can return the favor.

[...]

What did it feel like?

Emma/Manny

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[....] I want to fix this for you all. And by being the only telepath I feel like it some ways it does fall more on me.

Did you not feel it?

Emma/Manny

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

We're all in this, Emma. We'll figure it out together.

[...] No. Mine's never felt like anything. It's just there.

Emma/Manny

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Logically I know that. [...] But really, I just sort of hoped I could show up and immediately fix the problem. Stupid hubris.

[....]

It was right before I passed out. It almost felt like [...] I don't know, a little heartbeat.

Emma/Manny

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

That's [...] disconcerting.

Have you felt it since then?

Emma/Manny

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

It was. And it made it feel a little more pressing to see what was in there.

I haven't, no.

Emma/Manny

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

That's understandable. But doesn't get you off the hook, you know.

[...]

That's good. That it hasn't happened again. Will you tell us if it does?

Emma/Manny

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[...] I'll admit it was a tad dramatic. Can simply that be my punishment?

I just really don't want to worry you all. But you're right - this is your problem, too. I'll let you know if it happens again.

Emma/Manny

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[...] This time. Since you're under duress.

Te lo agradezco.

Emma/Manny

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Te amo, cariño. I know I can be a pain sometimes, and a terrible team player.

Emma/Manny

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Yo también te amo. [...] It's part of your charm.

Emma/Manny

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Is it, though? Who am I kidding, of course it is. [...] I've really missed you. I wonder if I can kick Bobby out and make you room with me instead.

Emma/Manny

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

And I've missed you. You're paying for the rooms; I suppose that means you can kick out anyone you want from anywhere you want.

Emma/Manny

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

The real question is whether you want to room with me or Bobby. I promise I won't be offended if you pick Mr. Drake.

Emma/Manny

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

You know I'd always choose you. But I don't mind Bobby.

Emma/Manny

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I'll let you boys have your fun, but you have to go on a little solo date with me at some point.
