A Worried Breakfast

by **Christine Bowen** » Thu Feb 02, 2012 11:36 pm

Christy was sitting at the table, picking at a plate of scrambled eggs.

"Hi," Alex said, walking up with his tray. "Is anyone sitting here?"

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 1:04 am

"Have a seat." Christy replied, barely bothering to glance up.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 1:18 am

Alex sat down, frowning a little. "We met the other day... Christie, right? Is everything okay?"

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 1:48 am

"You heard about the aliens, right?" Christy asked "Alex, right?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 1:51 am

"Oh, yeah," he said. "My mom was freaking the hell out about it when I saw her. Bunch of stuff about 'fallout' and 'her brother all over the web' and a lot of stupid stuff that ought to be beside the point. I don't think anyone's expecting them to show up here though."

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:58 pm

"Yeah, not worried about that." she said "My brother is up there."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 12:19 am

Alex winced. "Oh man," he sighed. Way to miss the point, Dumbass. "I'm sorry."

"I always thought I was the one who'd piss Dad off that way." Christy said "Bobby......I always thought he was too much of a slacker."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 1:21 am

Shit, what do you say to that? "Have you heard from them, or are you just going by the news?" he asked, realizing how lame the question was a second later.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 2:04 am

"No one knows anything." she said

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 2:09 am

Alex sighed, somewhat at a loss. "I'm sorry," he offered. "Is the school over there not saying anything? Or do they not know either?"

by **Christine Bowen** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 2:42 pm

"All I know is that my dad said he'd let me know as soon as he heard something." she said "So, I'm hoping that means that no one knows jack shit."

tommy entered, wearing the recently provided XI sweatshirt, and a pair of jeans.

and the wizard hat.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 9:57 pm

"Hey, T-Bow." Christy said, sliding over to make a place for him at the table.

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 10:05 pm

tommy waved, and after gathering some fruit and cereal, he joined his sister and her friend.

"Hi, Christy. hi, Alex."

by **Christine Bowen** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 10:21 pm

"Did Dad call you, too?" she asked.

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 10:24 pm

"He sent me an email.. I think things were getting pretty busy."

He sat down, looking worried.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 10:27 pm

"Yeah. He said he'd let us know as soon as they hear anything about Bobby."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 10:32 pm

"Bobby's the toughest guy I know.." he said, not convinced of his own words.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 10:49 pm

"Yeah, I know." Christy said "And he doesn't need to breathe, so he should do ok in hard vaccum."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 10:59 pm

Tommy flinched a bit, at that, thoughts suddenly filled with the thought of his brother floating away to deep space.

"Yeah.."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 11:23 pm

"Wait, they went up into space? I didn't hear that part," Alex said, automatically.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 11:25 pm

"yeah, the Shi'ar grabbed some girl, and they went to rescue her." Christy said "I think they're trying to keep that part quiet."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 4:03 pm

"Maybe they kidnapped Bobby's girlfriend." Tommy said, smirking.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 11:01 pm

"Not unless he has a new one." Christy said "The fucking Asters, excuse me, Raphael bitch dumped him."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 11:21 pm

"Yeah.. I didn't get a good feeling from her," Tommy agreed.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 12:35 am

Alex frowned. "Asters? Didn't get a good feeling? Why not?"

by **Christine Bowen** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:14 pm

"Her last name is Raphael, I think she was adopted or something." Christy said "Anyway, she was raised in Genosha by these nutso mutant supremacists. Which isn't surprising, since her Dad is Michael Asters, who we all know is Magneto's biggest fanboy."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:17 pm

"Oh... ah, yeah, I guess so," Alex said, shifting uncomfortably in his seat.

by **Thomas Bowen** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:18 pm

"I don't know about all that.. she just gave me the willies when I saw her picture the first time."

by **Christine Bowen** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:30 pm

"You feeling ok?" she asked, giving Alex an odd look.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:31 pm

"Oh, yeah, it's just..."

"...That's... my cousin. Apparently."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:35 pm

"Oh? Oh.." Tommy said, awkwardly.

by **Christine Bowen** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:36 pm

"You aren't sure?" Christy asked "How does that work?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:47 pm

"Well, I've never met her, but... my mom is... her dad's sister, so... yeah."

by **Christine Bowen** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:50 pm

"....oh....." Christy said "Sorry. Um, don't take anything I said personally, it isn't your fault he's your uncle. Unless you're a human hater like him, in which case you can kiss my ass."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:53 pm

"she didn't give me that big a chill.." Tommy said, trying to backtrack a little.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Feb 07, 2012 12:01 am

"Um... well, until a few months ago I thought I was a human, so that'd be kind of stupid for me to hate humans, I think."

by **Christine Bowen** » Tue Feb 07, 2012 12:10 am

"You're still human." Christy said "Just a human with extra sauce."
