Hey, how are you doing? If you're up for it, do you want to come over for chess and dinner with me and Oliver? We can talk about things, or not talk about them.

Katie
Hi, Katie. I just wanted to see if there's anything you need. I'm here for you, any time.

Oliver
Since I know you're not checking the spreadsheet: I have an overnight tomorrow. I'll miss you, Pietro. Love you.

That's incredibly in character for you, but I don't recall getting a similar invitation...

I don't suppose there are my careers that allow you to fly needy children around full-time.

Ha! Well we have a spare room now for strategy, and Oliver knows i want to fill it with mutants. You’re welcome in it, but he might try to force you out!

Well, actually. If we stay here, I’ll have to change my career.

I'm good for the present, so Oliver doesn't have to worry.

To something more fulfilling?

He’ll be even happier for you to visit if you’re going to leave at the end of the night!

Yes. Something that makes the world better. I can’t turn off that part of myself; it’s been gone too long. I should be helping people who need it.

Ha! To be fair, that's usually how I prefer my guests as well.

Do you have any ideas of what you'd want to do?

So do I, when I'm not trying to save the world from a threat we haven't even defined!

I'm not sure. I don't want to get too far ahead of myself in case this all goes away and I go back to the old life.

Which old life? The one where you're Cyclops, or the one where you're Sam and remember none of this?

The one where I'm Cyclops. I hadn't thought about being Sam and forgetting Scott.

If we forgot once, I don't see why we couldn't again.

That's true. It's hard to predict what will happen when we don't know why it's happened.
