( A little divot manifests between her eyebrows, the faintest little furrow of confusion; I talked to my future self. Is that one of his powers? Can he travel through time? Or is it something like coming to this place, where people are out of order, and they come from different years?
She wants to ask, the curiosity runs through her mind like high tide — she loves stories. Especially ones that are true, even if they aren't happy. It's the trueness that matters. They didn't teach her much about history at Transigen — neither human nor mutant, and she tends to be fascinated by the past. Maybe that's a leftover byproduct of her fixation on the comics, which were — as Logan put it — bullshit.
For what it's worth, she thought he was handsome too — in that way that children tend think everyone they care about is nice-looking, regardless of whether or not they actually are. He does look slightly nicer younger and with a head of hair, but a part of her would probably still prefer the version she knew. It would have been nice to be known back. Not that she's going to be picky; she never thought she would see any version of him again. Getting people back after they've died is a staggering revelation, and she can't help but wonder if maybe her father--
That thought hurts, and so she smothers it. )
It's dangerous to be around me. ( She speaks aloud finally, without even realizing it. It feels like she owes him an explanation, and this one is the truest. What follows her gets people killed simply because she's an expensive tool with patents and copyrights — not to mention the other genetic curse Logan left behind in her; bad things happen to people I care about. ) But it hasn't happened yet here, so I think probably you're safe.
( Provided he even wants her around, now that he might suspect he dies because of her. She wouldn't blame him if he doesn't. She wouldn't take it personally. It would be okay. She can't control her thoughts, but she can shut her feelings about it down and refuse to feel them. )
