The what?

[nola_cyclops]

Oh my god.

[nola_quicksilver]

You mean the date button?

[nola_cyclops]

Yes, babe.

[nola_quicksilver]

I thought it was just an FYI thing. Like if you need to write a check or something.

[nola_cyclops]

It's a whole app.

[nola_quicksilver]

Wow, Memorial Day is coming up!

[nola_cyclops]

Right! And you can put other important dates or appointments or reminders in there!

[nola_quicksilver]

Interesting! Oh hey, I still have Pokemon Go on my phone. And Candy Crush. And the museum art lookalike app.

[nola_cyclops]

Have you ever considered cleaning up what's on your phone?

[nola_quicksilver]

But what will become of my Farmville crops, Scott.

[nola_cyclops]

I don't think you've been taking care of them, Pietro.

[nola_quicksilver]

Hey, do you know Seth considers Northstar to be his past life? He said he was Jean Paul.

[nola_cyclops]

I did not know that.

[nola_quicksilver]

I don't understand it. I don't know how to compartmentalize like that. Pietro isn't a part of me that stopped.

[nola_cyclops]

Not even I can compartmentalize like that. I don't for a second feel separate from Scott.

[nola_quicksilver]

I'm glad you don't. I love Sam and Scott all at once. I did even before I knew who we were.

[nola_cyclops]

Me too. I love you more now that I know.

[nola_quicksilver]

That means everything to me.

[nola_cyclops]

Have you ever been to Alaska?

[nola_quicksilver]

I've never been farther than Washington DC.

[nola_cyclops]

The Summers family is from Anchorage. I quit the X-Men once and moved back there. I keep thinking about taking you there. Or, if we go back, leaving the hero job and retiring there.

[nola_quicksilver]

I definitely want to go, if it's an important place for you. But retiring? You're really thinking about that?

[nola_cyclops]

I consider it every time I read what I recently set into motion has been causing. Another issue, another team member dies. One who looks at me while he's dying and says you killed me, Scott Summers. My leadership isn't working. Wolverine walked away. Shan too. And I nearly got Alex killed – something has happened to his powers. I'm not sure how to help my people, or if I should.

[nola_quicksilver]

Sugar, I really think you shouldn't be reading that. There's nothing you can do but get upset and blame yourself. We don't even know that it IS you there and not something wearing your form.
