Who: John Pyro and Peter.
What: John got all his lovely gifts.
Where: Out fron of his house.
When: Morning of gifts.
Rating: PG-13ish? Pyro is lighting fires and being angry.

This Tuesday John had hoped it was going to be a good. In fact, when he went to bed the evening before, he knew it was going to be a good day this fine Tuesday.

John was really fucking wrong.

First thing he saw when his eyes opened was a figure standing over his bed. It scared the day lights out of him. Jumping practically out of bed Pyro went scrambling for something to light a fire with so he could torch this prowler, though he stopped short. In was a mannequin wearing extremely familiar clothes. His clothes. It was his outfit from when he was in his villain days and now it was here. There was something about seeing it that caused John some deep seeded feelings. So much, he didn't want to deal with that right now.

Moving from his room giving the mannequin a wide berth John moved himself down to the kitchen. Starting his coffee John glanced at a pair of envelopes on his counter. That was also weird, but to be fair, this place was the strangest in how it operated. Listening to the coffee maker start John scooped the first up tearing into it John read the letter. "Dear Mr. Allerdyce," John rolled his eyes some and continued reading. "My name is blah blah blah.." Boring boring. "Would like to thank you- blah blah.. on behalf of.." Then John read the name. "On behalf of Senator Kelly.." Now the letter had his focus as the pit of his stomach sank deep. "As a token of our gratitude, we delivered a number of boxes with a variety of campaign merchandise." Looking up from the letter he moved from the kitchen to his living area and saw it all. His living room was turned into a god damn campaign headquarters. Okay. Coffee, then deal with the Kelly mess, then figure out his suit.

Going back to the kitchen, John eyed the other envelope. Everything said don't open it, but John being John, he picked up and tore it open, and he thought his day was bad before. John froze and stared at the wedding invitation. A stunningly made card for the save the date. Picture of his Ki- no, not his Kitty the arms of that Russian bastard Colossus. John couldn't tear his eyes away from it, and that only caused his blood to boil. The straw to break the camel's back one would say. Turning and walking towards a wall he grabbed a knife that was still sticking in it, where he had left it from his and Kitty's first trip abroad the doors together. Yanking the knife out, adjust the invite so he could than stab the knife back into the wall right through the big shiny metal X-Man's head.

Every rational bone in John said he shouldn't let this eat at him, but damn it did. Grabbing a random shirt and pulling it on, Pyro ripped his front door open. Is front yard was littered with campaign signs for Senator Kelly for President. Disgusting. It was all disgusting. In systematic order, John started throwing boxes of campaign swag out the door far out in his yard. "Fuck this." Pyro growled at no one, especially his concerned pokemon looking at him from the stairs staying clear away from him. Soon enough John was out in the front of his house tearing out campaign signs to add to his pile when he felt the presence of another person. Looking up and seeing Quill, John half snarled. "What?" Sparking the lighter, John stared into Peter's eyes as he willed the flame into a fireball and right into the pile of campaign goods. "I'm not in the mood for anything, Peter."

John went about kicking more of the loose campaign garbage into the raging fire. Johns eyes remained focused on one of the images of the Senator on one of the lawn signs. Disgusting. A low snarl and made sure the flames burned through the face of the senator of that particular sign. John still didn't believe he died for that fucking man.

"What?" John asked looking over just for a moment. "I'm burning things." Walking around the pile he glanced up to Peter and pointed. "Oh him. That is Senator Kelly. I died for this dumpster of a man. No one man avoided so many assassination attempts from angry mutants than this one." John had made his full circle. "Hell, I even tried to kill him." Dismissive hand wave. "Anyway. I died protecting this fuck, and before I died asked him one thing. Give mutants a fair shake. Don't push the anti-mutant agenda." Keeping it simple. "Then what happens, one of his constituents who were very much anti-mutant killed his ass."

Pyro scoffed. "So, I'm burning him out of my existence." With a groan. "And.." John rubbed his face with his hand. "And Kitty is supposed to be getting fucking married and forgot to mention that part." John growled. "So I'm fucking great. Dandy. Fan-fucking-tastic." Pyro glanced to Peter. "How are you, buddy?" Yeah, Pyro was running a little hot you could say.

Welp. That was a lot to take in. Peter blinked at John and then looked back down at the button he was holding. The man in question, if he was getting the story right, didn't sound all that much like a dumpster of a dude. Not great, but the sort of turn a new leaf not that terrible kind of okay.

Maybe he'd feel different about it if he died for the guy though. There was a very short list of people in the entire galaxy that he'd die for, and a politician was most definitely not on that list. "Huh," he said before flipping the pin into the nearby fire. "That blows by five hundred."

As for Kitty --- well. Peter tilted his head curiously over that one. "How's it any different than when she was gonna marry me and then changed her mind?" He asked, and then paused for amendment. "Er, some other version of me."

Well, it'd of helped if John's mind wasn't racing around all the things to happen in the small period of, well this morning. But Pyro rolled with the physical hits better than the emotional ones, especially the emotional ones that revolved around the man he died for. Senator fucking Kelly.

Then Quill brought up the very logical, very reasonable statement. Which was truth. His point was very valid. In fact Pyro would say such. "You're not wrong." John pointed at Peter. "There is little difference between the two." John's face would go pained. The wedding wasn't the problem it turned out for him. "Except she was hiding it. Not one word about. Not one mention. Nothing. Nadda. Not a bit." Shaking his head. "I know about the other Quill one, she talked about that. Failed engagement there, so she can talk about that one..." His eyes darkened. "But not this one. Why not this one, Peter?" Because this one was still real. This wedding was to happen, and she was going to be marrying fucking Colossus. "I'm just her toy for while she's here."

Looking to the burning pile of campaign stuff. "This isn't going to do." John shook his head. "I'm going through the doors. I need to destroy something." Anything, really.

Peter considered that for a moment, not really on board with John's assessment of the situation because -- well. Because Kitty seemed legit, and because Pyro was literally a hot head in the kind of way that Peter had never been, not unless the situation was so dire that it called for it anyway. "Maybe because it doesn't matter. Doesn't really sound like that wasn't a failed engagement either, y'know." He doubted very highly that Kitty was out to use a dude just to feel better.

Surely if that was the case, she might have picked someone a little .... easier.

But that wasn't really Quill's business.

"You want company?"

Well, rational John who though clearly and calculatedly would of listened to Peter who was making a world of sense. But this wasn't the cool John people knew. In fact, that John never truly existed. Pyro was naturally a little hot, and there were certain things that he'd need to do. Like blow off some steam. If he saw Kitty now, it'd only turn into a fight. He'd say something stupid, or ridiculous, then things would be worse. Now that wasn't going to be productive.

"If it didn't matter why hide it?" Pyro muttered to no one particular. Shrugging. "Maybe Colossus hits closer to home, because I've been punched in the mouth by him once or twice." John side glanced Peter while he thought about it. Partner in his controlled destruction. Nah, wouldn't want to singe the pretty hair of his.

"I'm good." Pyro shook his head. "Issues I have to work out on my own." He glanced in his place. "Just if you notice the lights out inside and I haven't come back yet tonight, can you feed Squirtle?" He would worry about his little buddy.

Blowing off steam was fine -- Peter wasn't going to object to that because they all had moments where they needed something like that. Quill was actually pretty bad at identifying those moments and later on everything tended to explode around him when he really and truly fucked up because he hadn't known when to take a step back.

"Maybe hiding it isn't the same as just not bringing it up," Peter said, spreading his fingers wide to show he had no real clue at all. He felt bad though, he did. Because Kitty was a badass and he liked John a lot and he just wanted them to be happy and together and look he was an absolute sap about stuff like this lately, maybe because he saw his own situation in everyone else's. Who knew.

"If you're sure," he said, wondering if he should protest or insist anyway. But sometimes people needed to go it alone. "Maybe don't leave your lawn burning though." He could feed the turtle though, yeah. Of course.

It was mostly strategic for Pyro, considering that there was nothing but a bazillion heroes in this town, if he started lighting the place up, he'd have every good guy coming down to kick his ass, so he cooled his own jets just long enough till he was gone in some dimension that didn't matter to let his fury go.

To his statement, John couldn't help give the man credit for trying to fix it. Talk John off his ledge? What have you. It was nice, but John was more interested in being mad at the world at the moment and not the logic of the decisions that were being made.

Peter was a decent dude, and a great neighbor.

Regarding the fire that was raging in his yard, Pyro pulled the flames to him in a nice compact ball of fire energy. "There." Tossing up the fire ball in the air he started walking away. "Well, I'll see you later Peter." John half waved, but he was more concerned with getting through the doors.

Peter got it. Sort of. The last time he'd flown off the handle in anger, it'd been at the cost of half the universe so --

So it was probably smart to go be mad somewhere else. In a controlled environment.

"Right," Peter said, a bit on the worried side, but there was some relief to the yard no longer being on fire, even if there were posters and pickets and buttons still smoldering there. Couldn't win em all, he supposed, even if it was a bit on the unsightly side.

"Well. Good luck. I'll geed your little dude. Uh. Don't get into more trouble than you can get yourself out of, huh?"

That probably fell on deaf ears though, considering John was already halfway across the yard.
