Kevin Gravis would hear a knocking.

At his window.

From the Prime Universal Force of Life, or whatever.

Posted: **Fri Feb 07, 2014 7:51 pm**

Startled, Kevin looked up from not starting his history paper and, upon seeing Mira, promptly managed to make his chair fall backwards.

Posted: **Fri Feb 07, 2014 7:54 pm**

"Watch out. Gravity's a pain.

Or so I'm told," she smiled.

Posted: **Fri Feb 07, 2014 8:05 pm**

He shot back to his feet.

"I fell asleep. Didn't I?"

Posted: **Fri Feb 07, 2014 9:09 pm**

"I assume so. You need to do that, or you'll go crazy," she grinned.

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2014 10:44 am**

"No. I mean I'm dreaming. You're not really here and any second now an evil dancing dragon in purple MC Hammer pants is going to kidnap you and I'll go rescue you and end up in the wrong castle."

Posted: **Sun Feb 09, 2014 3:50 pm**

"Kinky.

But no, Kevin. It's really me. I'm back.

...for a while, at least."

Posted: **Sun Feb 09, 2014 7:54 pm**

Not even reading Kevin's mind could have shown if he was happy, angry, or sad to see her at that exact moment.

"So this is like, what, a vacation then?"

Posted: **Sun Feb 09, 2014 9:30 pm**

"More of...a journey, I guess."

Posted: **Sun Feb 09, 2014 10:00 pm**

"Trying the whole self-discovery thing? I hear the Himalayas are great for that... though I guess you'd melt all that snow."

Posted: **Sun Feb 09, 2014 10:02 pm**

"Maybe I would.

Maybe I just wanted to be around a friendly face," she smiled.

Posted: **Mon Feb 10, 2014 11:43 am**

"In which case I should stop standing here like an idiot and open the window," he smirked. So, he walked closer and did just that.

Posted: **Mon Feb 10, 2014 5:11 pm**

Mira was standing on an emerald-green carpet, floating above the ground below.

"Would you like to take a ride?"

Posted: **Mon Feb 10, 2014 8:07 pm**

"Wha... Holy crap is that a flying carpet?!"

Posted: **Mon Feb 10, 2014 9:43 pm**

"I think the technical term is some sort of substitutiary locomotion. Very technical, all this."

Posted: **Mon Feb 10, 2014 9:47 pm**

"I've always wanted to ride some sort of substitutiary locomotion carpet," he smirked.

Posted: **Mon Feb 10, 2014 10:18 pm**

"Then get out here. I owe you one, or more."

Posted: **Tue Feb 11, 2014 10:59 am**

"You do?" he asked as he trustingly stepped out onto the flying carpet.

Posted: **Tue Feb 11, 2014 2:57 pm**

"I do. You saved me last time we met, so long ago."

Posted: **Tue Feb 11, 2014 3:17 pm**

"I distinctly remember you taking a hit for me."

Posted: **Tue Feb 11, 2014 3:31 pm**

"Without you, who knows how I would have held it together. I didn't think anyone would come for me."

Posted: **Tue Feb 11, 2014 4:52 pm**

"Of course I'd come. It was only ever a question of if we could go after you. Stupid non-spacefaring planet and all."

Posted: **Tue Feb 11, 2014 4:54 pm**

"People are scared of you, you know."

Posted: **Tue Feb 11, 2014 5:11 pm**

"Me you, or Earthlings you?"

Posted: **Tue Feb 11, 2014 5:58 pm**

"The latter, really.

That might be why I...um...the Phoenix picked...me. A little bit of fear helps..."

Posted: **Tue Feb 11, 2014 7:56 pm**

"Until imperial birdmen swear to destroy you anyway."

"Wait... did you just talk about yourself as a separate entity from the Phoenix?"

Posted: **Tue Feb 11, 2014 11:29 pm**

"It's...complicated, you know? The Phoenix has been alive forever--longer than that. Altamira hasn't.

Jean, Madeline, Rachel...they just were avatars of the Phoenix. They controlled it. Shaped it. I'm...complicated.

...I could use less complicated."

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2014 10:57 am**

"And I'm the uncomplicated-est person you could think of?" he teased.

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2014 4:06 pm**

"Yes, actually.

I've traveled the universe, met people of all shapes and sizes...and yet, this is where I found I wanted to be."

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2014 4:29 pm**

"At Xavier's?" he asked, not jumping to the implied conclusion for fear he misunderstood.

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2014 5:30 pm**

Mira responded by bopping Kevin on the head.

"Goof."

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2014 7:56 pm**

"Sooo... With me? Seriously?"

Might as voice the thought since Mira would pick it up anyway.

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2014 9:17 pm**

"Don't sell yourself so short, Kevin."

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2014 9:42 pm**

"You are aware I'm a complete dork, right?"

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2014 10:50 pm**

"I am aware of how suns begin and when they will die, of how life began and what will happen when the last spark closes up shop.

I am aware of your dorkiness."

Posted: **Thu Feb 13, 2014 11:56 am**

"Good. Now that that's settled... wheeere are we going? A whole new world? A dazzling place I never knew?"

Posted: **Thu Feb 13, 2014 2:07 pm**

"For now? Just up, up and away.

I'd like to take you out to dinner soon, though."

Posted: **Thu Feb 13, 2014 2:59 pm**

"Awesome. I hope you remembered your Galactic Express Card though.

Posted: **Thu Feb 13, 2014 3:47 pm**

"Poor little broke college student?"

Posted: **Thu Feb 13, 2014 5:01 pm**

"Little bit."
