[ this is so lame of her. and Raven knows it's lame of her, but she doesn't care. she's pumped full of adrenaline and she's feeling excited and accomplished and proud of herself and she doesn't care if this is lame. has she thought that already? she did. okay, anyway. she's heading back from the gym on the first floor, on the lift, and really she was going to wait at least until she got back to her room, but nope, no, she's posting now. she's so posting now. the camera angle is a little strange, she's not used to holding the comm up while she talks, so it keeps tilting a little too high or too low at random, but whatever. whatever! ]

Hello, Tranquility! [ all smiles, this one ] I know a lot of us have had a rough month, and it might be due to a number of things that this ship brings down on us, but- I'm making this post to say that I am now officially a member of the Security team, so if any of you need ..anything, I'd be more than willing to help. Honestly, anything at all. My comm's always on and I'll always make myself available if it's important. [ nod! like if you're having mask troubles with a friend right now, that sort of thing. but she basically means anything at all, ever. eager beaver here. ] I just finished my skills test with Tyke, and I gotta say, it was- actually pretty fun. I mean, I thought it was. I dunno. [ WAH SOMEONE TELL HER TO SHUT UP ] So really, if you think you're interested in joining the Security team, and really just want to help your fellow passengers on board here, you should try it out, talk to her, see if it's for you.

Anyway! Right. I'm gonna go! [ hee more grinning. but then a sideways look because how do you even end an announcement like this? ] See ya. [ that'll work. ]

Thank you for the rather...exuberant advertisement.

[Aw, Raven, Blake finds your enthusiasm very endearing. They could use more of it on the security team, really.

He's actually kind of smiling. This is a rare occurrence.]

Congratulations. I'm sure you were very impressive.

You're very welcome, Edgeworth.

[ OH SIR she's in too good a mood to be offended by that tone~ ]

Oh hey, thanks. Yeah! It was great. It was so, so great. I was actually really nervous? But then it just turned out to be like another training session. But more official.

Well, it's not like anyone wants you to fail. We need all the help we can get. Just keep up with your training now that you're in. [It's a bit of a tease, though. He knows she will.]

I'm glad you're excited; we could use a little of that on the team.

When will you be starting patrols?

Sucks we're so desperate.

But beggars can't be choosers.

[ it's not like anyone wants you to fail hm, that's- tricky. but well. she just nods along, and now she's looking down at her forearm, brushing her fingers over the space before the rest of her numbers ]

I know somebody doesn't need a rank or a title or anything like that to help around here, I guess it just.. feels really good to be part of a team again. One that people know they can come to for help. S'kinda groovy.

'sore loser' isn't such a flattering trait for you, Havok. not that anybody's surprised.

Didn't fight it after I talked to Tyke. I trust her.

Just remember you're supposed to be protecting people, not falling for them.

After the jump. I think it's easier to just add my name into the mix with whatever new recruits we might get then. I think. I dunno! I kinda left the gym in a rush, after she explained everything to me. I'll have to stop by the boardroom soon.

not fighting with Tyke doesn't magically make fighting with me an okay thing. ha ha ha. as opposed to what, acting like i'm better than everyone like you do?

I don't think I'm better than anyone. Most people know that.

sure thing. so your need to try and rain on my parade, is it out of your system yet?

Got a right to voice my opinion as much as anyone, team mate.

right. and I'm sure you didn't encrypt it because you knew it was rude or anything, either. there's a difference between voicing your opinion and picking a fight, team mate.

Not trying to pick a fight.

But it is funny, isn't it. Us being team mates again.

Last time ended so well.

you do realize that what happened between Charles and Erik had literally nothing to do with us? with any of us, besides the two of them? and.. Moira, i guess, but that's not the point. the way things ended had nothing to do with me and you. that's what i don't get. why are you taking my choice to go with Erik personally?

You're an idiot if you think it wasn't about us. All of us. [Meaning mutants.]

You left us.

You abandoned us. You chose to leave with the guy who fucked the entire thing up for us, and nearly killed your brother.

Don't you get it? Next time you see Havok back home? You two will be enemies.

Probably trying to kill one another.

[Alex has abandonment issues, duh.

But it was the one time he thought he could have some weird sort of family again, and then they went and fucked it all up.]

[ a part of her wants to say it you could have come with us, but she doesn't think that's the point. she doesn't think Alex actually cares that they split up as a group, not after the way he reacted to her here. but; ]

i can't believe i'm bothering to explain this to you, but i'm getting tired of you assuming i just hate every one of you because you're not Erik or.. whatever it is you think. i was going to stay. do you honestly believe i wanted to leave Charles there like that? but he read my mind and saw underneath the need to be there for him, right there in that moment, there was a part of me that wanted to still be on a team with Erik. it wasn't about abandoning you, it was about staying with him. i don't know how else to explain it. Erik didn't fuck anything up. we did what we were meant to do, we stopped Shaw, we stopped the war. and then those armies tried to *kill us* for it. it's not like Erik got those missiles out of nowhere - they were directed at us. and he shouldn't have turned them around, Charles was right, it was horrifying and he should have just let them drop in the ocean, but that's not who Erik is, we knew that from the beginning. but if he hadn't stopped the missiles, we would have died, and none of those humans would have cared. i know that now, first hand. Erik saved us, you can't ignore that just because in the end we split up. and the difference between me and the Havok back home is that maybe he'll see me as an enemy, i mean you'd know better than me how he feels, but I won't feel the same. we're all still mutants, we're all on the same side. if he tries to kill me, I'll fight back. but I don't think i'll ever be able to see you guys as enemies, it defeats the purpose of what we're all fighting for.

[ she's mostly thinking that Erik and Charles could never really hate each other, so how could any of them? she couldn't hear what the two of them were talking about when Erik forced them all to keep their distance, but it- it couldn't have been the start of some bitter rivalry. it didn't make sense. ]

So what about humans? Erik is going to start killing them. We already got word that he killed a few, breaking Emma out.

You're acting like we're all going to start holding hands and singing around a campfire.

The minute you and Erik, and your little group start attacking humans, Charles and us--we're going to be there to stop you.

If you didn't want to leave Charles, you wouldn't have. Erik would have come back for you.

You put yourself above your family. Sorry if I think that's shitty.

you say that like we're ever going back there. like we have a chance of escaping this place. sorry if i haven't thought about the future there when i'm trying to just stay alive right here. he killed soldiers. the same kinds of soldiers that let Shaw know exactly where us *freaks* were at the CIA base. they would've killed us if we hadn't killed them. besides. you blaming Erik for being the one responsible for hurting Charles, doesn't that seem a little hypocritical to you? we've all made mistakes.

[ no, she doesn't want to bring up Darwin. but Erik hurting Charles was the same kind of mistake as Alex getting Darwin killed to. Erik was deflecting bullets, Alex was attacking Shaw. in the end, it backfired. she never held that against Alex, so she can't.. bring herself to hold that against Erik either. and not just because Charles is fine here. ]

things are different here, Havok. we don't have to fight humans, we don't have to defend ourselves from them. our abilities don't set us apart from them, not like back home. we all have the same rights and we all get the same treatment. that's what I care about. and that's why I wanted to join Security in the first place. this ship is awful sometimes, but the people here gave me something i never would have had back home, not ever. i owe them for that. just because you can't see past something that happened almost a *year* ago doesn't make it any less valid.

Thats attractive!

thank you! i think. what is???

Apart of the security team!
Nothing like a lady willing to protect!
