Will's Office - Merely Players

The site of the recently restored Braddock Lighthouse. Aircraft hangars and other X-Men facilities, including a Cerebra unit and the Danger Room have been constructed around the foundations of the lighthouse.

Miranda knocked on Will's office door. She had a tablet on one hand with what looked like some sort of calendar app pulled up.

"No, no, it's all good--I think Sara's got that opportunity up at Muir, so she might take Robin with her for a few weeks. We're playing it by ear at the moment."

Figuratively.

"Well, I didn't either. Not for a long time.

You see, I thought your Mom was..." he said, thinking and scratching his chin. "...maybe not blasphemous, per se, but how could she take on this mantle, this mantle of pain and death and war, and just...turn her back on everything she was taught? I didn't get it.

And then I spent more time with her, and I began to see...and then came the raid on the sub, and I felt it. Inside of me."

Miranda managed to stifle her frown at the mention of the raid on the sub. "I can't really judge another seeker. I'm fumbling through my own faith. So how does Mom enter into all this?"

"Well, she's the one your mother has chosen to be with. That's an important role--just like she's chosen me to be her Champion. It...wouldn't do to upset her, significantly."

"But in the end of the day, she's just Mom. It's not like she's Mum's priestess or anything, unless something's changed radically. I don't pay respects to Osiris just because he's banging Isis, who I do pay respects to."

"The difference is that I can't exactly do much with Sam without Nailah also being around, and if I'm not polite to Nailah, then Sam would think less of me. You don't have Osiris in the room.

Besides, I'm just a polite person in general."

Miranda looked as if she was taking a moment to remind herself of something very important or maybe she was just squelching the rumblings of temper. "I see," she said.
