Ouch. Those suckers sure can hit hard.

But I mean how else did they expect me to react and I would have gotten out of there if I had all my gear with me. But I guess a couple of concussions and a bunch of broken bones will teach them.

But now I’m locked in this cell of some library. Maybe I’ve got some books that are really overdue or something and they take that type of thing serious here where ever here is.

Wow. So today was my birthday. I don't know if it's my real birthday as in the day I was actually born or created or whatever you want to call it considering I was a lab experiment, but today is the day I chose as my birthday and have always celebrated it so I'm fifteen now. I'll be honest, I never actually thought I'd last this long. The Flock are the longest living experiment from The School so everyday I wake up expecting that I'll expire at any moment, but every year I think that maybe I won't be like those other experiments and I'll actually get to become an adult. And who knows, if I stay here then that chance could double cause there aren't any Erasers coming after me.

So, Ed, when should we celebrate our birthdays?

I'm very glad I'm not a very old woman anymore, but now I have her memories. It's really confusing since I've also got other memories of another future life, like I'll never actually be that Mother Askani. Very confusing. And I have memories of the Phoenix having messed with my memories, which makes for extra confusing memories.

The family revelations are really... interesting, though. I think I'll put the people in quotes to try to help show it's not the family I was born to in my own time, but the ones in the timeline that became my home. The "Dad" I met in the X-Men isn't exactly my dad who was killed by Sentinels, for instance.

• Really, really old me has "Dad's" son, Nathan, brought to the future because of Apocalypse's virus. Nathan's mother, Madelyne, was cloned from my "mother."
  
• Really old me has Nathan cloned in case he doesn't survive the virus. But the clone ends up evil.
  
• After "Mom" comes back to life, I'll get to go to her and "Dad's" wedding.
  
• But after the wedding I'll get lost in the timestream and land in the future where I become the really old lady (or not become her?).
  
• I'm going to bring "Mom" and "Dad" into that future during their honeymoon so they can raise Nathan.
  
• But Nathan is going to rescue me when I'm lost and still young, so doesn't that mean I can't end up in his future-past? I wonder how he'll still exist if I'm never the Mother Askani?
  
• Really grossed out that after "Mom" dies again (killed by someone pretending to be Magneto), "Dad" is going to take up with Emma Frost. What the hell?!
  
• I'll get a break from that disgusting match-up after we meet my "dad's" other brother Gabriel that nobody knew existed except for Professor Xavier.
  
• Then I'm going to get stuck in space for a long time with "Uncle Alex" and "Aunt Lorna" after we've gone there to fight Gabriel.

So I think what it comes down to is... Emma doesn't belong.


[TL;DR: the Summers family tree is RIDICULOUS. Even though we're going into the soap opera plot... all those bullet points? Genuinely from the comics. It's soap-tastic without needing to make anything up! Up to y'all to decide if your characters react to this as if it's soap-totally-plausible or not]

There's a hilariously terrible movie that Claire pointed out to me at the video store (thanks Claire!) that everyone needs to see. Now. It's called Stonehenge Apocalypse and it's awful and wonderful and I love it.

HARDISON! MOVIE NIGHT! I'd make Cas and Dean watch it but I think Dean would probably glare. A lot. And the guy that stars in the movie looks like Cas so that might be a little weird. Besides. We need to hang and what better way to hang than by watching an awful made-for-tv movie? So yes. Hardison. You. Me. Stonehenge Apocalypse. It will be AWESOME!

Hello? I remember things like this. Cell phones. This one's like the one my dad had. Has anyone seen my dad? His name's Rick. I don't know where I am. The men at the library, they look like knights or something, they pushed me out the door and they gave me this and I don't know where I am. I really need to find my dad, or my mom. Her name's Lori. Can anyone hear me? Hello?

I don't wanna sleep no more. I don't want a new dad or a new life or none of the stuff I keep dreaming about. I don't!
