Private

This feels ridiculous. Impossible. And yet the impossible has happened a thousand times before, so who am I to spit into the sky and say it's raining?


Family + Joel

Family, meet Joel. Joel, meet Family.

Joel's a very good friend of mine. He's going to start being a regular face around the table, so play as nice as you can.


Nori

First, I hope you're taking care of yourself. I miss you.

Second, it's possible I may have an idea what's got you rattled. Or I may be way off-base. But here's the thing: I just had a whole bunch of past life memories open up inside of me, and if that sounds familiar at all, then just know you're not alone.

Third, be safe. Home's waiting for you whenever you're ready.


Wanda + Bucky

So, this is weird. But it's good to know you're there. 

Wanda, I'm Steve. My name's still Steve, so that should be pretty easy. I don't know how this whole thing works exactly, but there's a movie with our faces on it coming out, uh, tonight. So consider me on speed-dial if you need me. [Number]

Actually, if you want, consider my house open to you tonight or any other night you need it. I'm going to go see it--I feel like I've got to--tonight. I'll have drinks and good foot and company waiting if you want to circle round.


Any comic book reincarnates

This feels like a real long shot, but just in case...

Assemble?

I always had moves, you just didn't notice.

I'll be there.

[nola_faith]

Steve told me who he is. It wasn't a big leap from that to "the guy I'm suddenly introducing to the family probably has something to do with that". I'm someone, yeah, but not someone you know.

Huh.

[nola_steve]

I noticed you moving in on plenty of girls.

Re: Comic Book Incarnates

[nola_beast]

Yes, though I'm cringing over how many Avengers movie discussions I'm going to have to shut down on Monday.

[nola_buckybarnes]

Mostly just one. We broke up.

[nola_steve]

Wait, are we talking about this life?

[nola_buckybarnes]

So you're an X-person?

[nola_buckybarnes]

This is so confusing. Let's just talk in person.

[nola_faith]

Nope. None of that superhero stuff for me. Well. Yeah, let's just stick with not a superhero, not a Marvel character, not on any lunchboxes.

[nola_buckybarnes]

No problem. I hope you're doing okay with it, though. It's been messing with my head.

[nola_faith]

Oh it's a total clusterfuck. But I'm crashing with someone from that life so at least it's a fairly self-contained clusterfuck.

Comic book reincarnates

[nola_tim]

huh

Re: Nori

[nola_faith]

But who isn't that true of, Steve?

I'm still staying with that friend, by the way. She's from the same place I am. So I'm okay. Ish. Safe, anyway.

Re: Comic Book Incarnates

[nola_beast]

Oh, excellent idea!

Re: Dani and Joel

[nola_wanda]

I don't know. I didn't remember until I met Pietro. A version of Pietro. He's not mine.

I think it's in my life whether I want it or not. I can't go a day without seeing a poster or hearing someone talk about it. I just can't witness any more people I care about in pain right now.

I will try. It's good that you're here and okay, Steve.

Re: Nori

[nola_steve]

Okay. I won't pry unless you give me permission to, and I'll only mother hen from a distance until you want something a little more 3-D. Thank you for letting me know you're safe and okay. (I'm aggressively ignoring the ish.)

Re: Nori

[nola_faith]

I need to ask her before I talk about it. It's as much her story as it is mine. If I'm even ready to talk about it, which, you know, I rarely am. (Like you aren't feeling your own Ish. If you aren't when everything is weird as shit, you're crazier than I thought.)

Re: Nori

[nola_steve]

Ish!

[nola_faith]

So. Her name is Carrie and also Buffy Summers. And mine is Faith.

[nola_steve]

Thank you for telling me. You can trust me not to say anything unless you want it to be said.

I'd love to meet her, if either of you were ever interested.

[nola_faith]

I definitely don't want it to be said.

I'll talk to her about it.

[nola_steve]

Deal and deal.
