[Voicemail for Ororo]
Good morning Ororo, this is T'Challa. I was just calling to see how you are faring here in Orange County, the unsettling weather being a concern as of late. You can reach me at my cell at any time today. Take care.


[Texts for Stephen Strange]
>>Stephen, how are you faring with this newest scenario the OC has brought upon us?

Ororo

>> There was
>> Scott's hurt, he's at the ranch.
>> It's serious but he's stable. Not as bad as Rachel was.


Vel

>> Are you sitting down?


X-folks, not including Ororo and Vel

>> So guys
>> Keep a look out for Logan.
>> He's having one of his episodes.

X-Folk (much later)

>> Also until further notice
>> Since Logan is MIA and Scott is down and they're both fucking idiots
>> I'm in charge of the mutant shindig.

>> Would either of you be home tomorrow afternoon?
>> Noon is when the movers can take most of my stuff to storage.
>> And I need to be able to get into the house after that.

>> Hey
>> Dreamt a little more
>> I got my leather jacket from when I used to hang out with Yukio.
>> But I need you to tell me all you know about two people.
>> Henry Gyrich and the mutant Forge.

I want it on record that while I'm still having a hard time controlling my powers, I didn't actually do this snow stuff.

>> Rachel seems to think you should just move in full time at this rate.

Shepard is retiring, for all intents and purposes, at the end of the month. I'll be taking over the ranch completely. I'll also be renaming it the Jean Grey Outreach Center.

>> You are, actually...kind of the closest thing I have to a mother figure. That I'm still talking to anyway.
>> So happy mother's day?

>> Gonna need to know about that power practice area or whatever it is
>> Dreamt about a lightning storm
>> When I woke up there was one outside and my house was on fire

>> We have resources - anyone have any civilians with kids who need help, send 'em this way.

Scott and Rachel:

>> We're going out again.

>> Scott just asked me out to dinner.
>> From the dream standpoint
>> Is that okay, or does he like, murder me later on?
>> Please tell me that much.

>> MY DREAM BESTIE IS HERE

Who is T'Challa?

Please. Is he here? I need to know.

» I need a dose of normal. Want to go ice skating?

I dreamed.

Not much - but I dreamed of growing up in Cairo, just like you said, Logan. I was so young when it happened - just out of nowhere, I even remember being outside and just ... like a judgment from the heavens.

All in the space of the dream, I was unconscious, then stepping through a wasteland. In my head, I guess - but then I woke up and I was pinned. Under rubble. For ... forever. I have no idea how long it was in the dream, but when I woke up, I was crying. I haven't cried since my grandmother died.

I'm interested and curious and terrified and angry all at the same time. I didn't ask for this. I'm still not 100% sure that the roof of my condo won't come crashing down now. Just. I don't know what I even expect to get out of this; I just wanted you all to know.

I was referred to you by Scott Summers. I would like to talk to you as soon as possible. Preferably now.
