then why do you?

just going to sigh and move on from this one...

woah woah woah hold on
you don't even know what my venture is yet??

probably a compliment? sorry, if it felt like an insult
we talk about a lot of things so not all of it is always on my mind

I'm just not afraid. I have nothing more to lose.

I take that as a victory.

Fine fine. What's your venture?

Maybe I'm just more sensitive than people think.

and if you really were to die though? without coming back this time

interdimensional taco truck
instead of driving the taco truck around you just open a stepping disc
bam, you can be at any festival or event in a blink
...I think it works better than the toll booth
you also get free tacos cause you invested in the business and are a major shareholder 🙂


does it bother you, that I didn't remember? I feel like that's a better question
how proud are you to be ruler of Limbo? compared to your life with the X-men

What a curious question to ask.
( casually avoiding )

Important question: are you making the tacos? I'm going to have to try one first.

No. People see me a certain way, I'm used to it.

....

My feelings about Limbo are complicated. I'm pleased to be in control of a place that tortured me all of my life.
But I am more proud of being a member of the X-Men.

you know there are many of us that wouldn't want that, Illyana
does that not matter?

I mean sure I can start out making the tacos but I was hoping we could hire a full time chef later?
since I have a job already and all that


( a "job". )

then I think your life with them is what's most valuable
and I don't know how it is others see you, but to me, I see you as my friend first
someone I enjoy talking to and joking around with
someone who doesn't walk on eggshells around me
someone who is okay with me actually being me and not what everyone else expects me to be

you just happen to also rule Limbo which is really badass overall but also not the thing that defines you

I know. I know what happened to some people when I died the first time.

You have a job that isn't taco chef? What is it?

( just kidding. sort of. )

You want me to teleport you somewhere, don't you?

Kidding.

Thank you. You're a good friend. Maybe too good of one but I'll take it.
But Limbo does define me in some ways. Not all ways, but some. It always will.
counterstep: (тревога)

[personal profile] counterstep 2025-05-24 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
but does that matter? you didn't answer the question

I'm a janitor at LaGuardia ( actually kidding. definitely. )

yeah, like being HYDRA's fist will always be a part of me, too
but only just
really if I were thinking about you ruling Limbo all the time, I'd probably be one of those people who constantly asks for a teleport unironically

[personal profile] magikally 2025-05-25 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't I?

You take out the trash?
Wait! We need a new janitor! I'll recommend you
(if he gets a call for a job interview he only has himself to blame)

We should feel special, being firsts of something.
But I don't and I know you don't.
What if I told you we go through Limbo every time I teleport?
