I7DT: Under a Tree

[Sean Hall]

"Phenomenal cosmic power does not make me any less human," Sean smiled.

[Gaius Montgomery]

"I agree wholeheartedly."

[Sean Hall]

"Good because it's a lesson everybody should take to heart especially those of us with extraordinary powers," Sean said, "Whether gifted by genetics or pure chance."

[Gaius Montgomery]

"We are not more. We are not less," he nodded.

[Sean Hall]

Sean nodded.

"The X-Men have the right of it," Sean said, "It'd be nice if the bulk of both sides began to see it as well."

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Then events like today's might never happen," he said, "A dream of course, but a nice one."

[Sean Hall]

"They'll still happen," Sean said, "Absolute peace will never happen, but you're right it is a nice dream."

[Gaius Montgomery]

"The best we can do is try to leave this world a little better than we found it," he said as if quoting.

[Sean Hall]

Sean closed his sketchbook and packed it into his backpack.

"Don't try," Sean said, "Do it. Too many people try and that's not enough."

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Well put, well put."

[Sean Hall]

"Just Yoda with better sentence structure," Sean smirked.

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Well played," he chuckled.

[Sean Hall]

"Well played," he chuckled.

"What can I say, I'm bloody good," Sean said.

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Hrm... I really should go get my cell phone and stop avoiding that call from father."

[Sean Hall]

"Avoiding it will just make it worse," Sean said, "So go break a leg, good luck, etcetera."

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Thanks. I'll bloody need it," he said as he got up.
