Re: quicklog: domino/jean at the mansion
[Domino didn't know the first thing about letting wine breathe. She liked fancy stuff once and a while because sometimes she didn't know what else to do with her money, but she never got the hang of social niceties. She wasn't a spy, not like Black Widow. She was a merc. Mercenaries were always a lot rougher around the edges.
When Jean asked about Charles, Domino put the bottle to her lips and chugged a couple gulps down. There was NNOO way in hell she was telling this story completely sober. See, Domino knew the short version. It went like: Scott went all Phoenix Force and killed Charles. But, that wasn't a good way to start out, so she decided to go for the whole story:] So, okay. [She set the bottle down on the floor and then swung her legs off the couch so she could sit and face Jean.] Phoenix Force decides it wants to come back down to earth. Avengers are like fuck that, no way. They figure it wants to go into this girl Hope Summers, long story, and they want to kill her. Or hold onto her. Which none of us trusted, right? So Phoenix comes soaring down and the Avengers blast it into fragments, into a bunch of different X-Men. [And nope, nope Domino did not want to tell Jean WHO those X-Men were. She knew she had to, though, so she paused long enough to take a drink.] Uh, Scott, Emma, Colossus and his sister and motherfucking Namor. NAMOR! Of all the idiots... [Headshake.] though he did start wearing this shirt that only had shoulderpads and sleeves. It was like ab city!
