🎵 Believe it or not, Hugh isn't at home 🎵 🎷 Please leave a message at the beep 🎷 🎶 I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone 🎶 🎺 Where could I be? Believe it or not, I'm not home! 🎺
Professor's doing his thing, wants us to shake hands over eggs and coffee.
[ The usual bullshit. Look, they both know how Charles is, he doesn't need to get into it. And no, he doesn't care about this stuff—got better things to do, frankly—but he does care about Charles.
[Okay, for their first sexting experience, he was not expecting it to start with an Xavier reference. But considering the sheer amount of daddy issues in the MCU, maybe he should've seen this coming. (Present company included!)
The response isn't one-second-immediate like it usually is. Maybe 'cause his thoughts are on Wolverine -- the worst one, the one at home probably not waiting for him but maybe kind of pissed off Wade left him to tackle the rent with Al -- who doesn't get to say things like that anymore. Or. Well. Maybe he will, one day, even if they're not his. The way this Logan isn't Wade's.
Multiverses, man.]
you're jerking me off. there's no way xavier is inviting me to an xmen mingle?? is he still doing acid?
[He's pretty sure that was a thing Charles did. For real, though, who hasn't?] n what about u, huh? gonna be glaring from the cool guys corner if i show up?
[ He's regretting agreeing to be the one to tell Wade about it. How come Charles couldn't've shoved an invitation under Wade's door, huh? (It's 'cause, unfortunately, Logan's the only X-Man who's actually been in contact with Wade. And kept contact with him.)
He didn't say yes or no. Which means Logan, yeah, probably doesn't want him there, but he'll do what Charles says, or he doesn't care enough to stop it from happening, either way. Or maybe... maybe they all assume Wade will say no. Since he should. Since he's not an X-Man* (anymore).
[ Hey, if it was up to Logan, he wouldn't want any of them there. Or, more precisely, he wouldn't want himself there. At least, that's how it would've been back then.
It's different now. After the Sentinels—yeah, Wade might be a yappy motherfucker with half a brain rattling in his skull. But he's still one of them. So's Cable. He doesn't know about community or rebuilding or any of that. That's Charles's vision.
What he does know is, push comes to shove, he'll look after another mutant. It's what Charles would want, sure. But it's what he wants, too.
And if Wade annoys the shit out of Scott Summers along the way, he'll call that a plus. ]
[Oh boy, he can't wait to inflict Cable on people that are not Scott. Because that's definitely not why he's gonna be dragging Cable to something he might not even tell him is an X-Men meet-up. It's like being pulled into a furry convention when you were dressed to go clubbing. Hah!
It's gonna be great.]
look, hes a freak like us. might as well meet you dorks so he can tell more people about how much the future sucks in a deadpan monotone
[Also 'cause it's funny he doesn't like the X-Men, either. And yeah, yeah, blah, blah, they had an agreement. Fuck the X-Men. Wade's sticking to it. He's showing up, but he's not one of them. One bad trainee session leading into almost getting murdered to the sounds of dubstep really leaves a bad impression in a guy.]
[ Uh-huh. It's not like Logan told him to sit Cable home. ]
Don't gotta convince me about that.
[ Better behaved than Wade, too, though Charles doesn't exactly bring people around for their good behaviour. Exhibit A: Magneto.
Anyway, he extended the offer, his job's done. He already knows Wade doesn't give a shit about X-Men business and he told Charles as much, to not expect a whole lot out of the invitation, that it's gonna be a waste of time.
But that's been Charles's thing, too. He doesn't expect. The door's just open. ]
[Oh. Right. Sometimes he just -- they're a lot more alike than they are different. Logans.]
like i told you, it gets better. it IS better.
promise.
[And then maybe a few minutes later:] but don't listen to cable about it he's got the soul of a doomsday prepper. like the kind that's on tlc specifically
