dreams are born again
Have you ever had one of those days where you just felt something was constructed in your stomach? Where you felt like something was just, off? That seemed to be how Alex felt everyday for the past few days. He didn't understand the feeling, but he did understand that it wasn't a good sign. Instead of mulling over the feeling, however, Alex tried to focus on other things; more enjoyable things. Namely, he hoped that Stephen King would remedy the feeling with an invigorating read through Dreamcatcher.

Alex sat down somewhere solitary, away from the rest of the X-Men. And away from Magneto and Paris. The fact that they were on the property wasn't exactly something Alex was comfortable with--especially with Paris. He couldn't help but feel that Scott was really the leader he professed to be. Emma had a hand in all of his decisions, and Alex felt even less comfortable with her around. He didn't agree with their relationship, either. She was a bad influence from the start. But what could he do, other than stick around and keep an eye on things?

Whatever. It wasn't the time to keep his mind on those thoughts. As soon as he made eye contact with the letters on the pages, he drifted into a more enjoyable state of mind.

	He may find that it is a little more simple to not think about Scott. Or Emma. In fact, the whole world seems to have gained a tint of unreality about it, perhaps a sort of detachment. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	At first, Alex didn't notice a thing. However, he could mildly sense that doesn't was amiss with his surroundings. Something seemed off, or familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hello, Alex He might be sleeping - this does have an odd dream-like quality to it. That sense cannot help but be further enforced by the appearance of one Madelyne Pryor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Madelyne? "No, that can't be right," he said, shaking his head. He wanted the figure of that woman to disappear when he stopped, but she didn't just disappear. "Madelyne Pryor is dead." He stood up and, although slightly unsure of himself, clenched his fists and settled his eyes into a glare. He tried to ignore the sense of familiarity. "Who are you?"

	Oh, I was dead. I'm not now. There is a sad look in her eyes as she looks at him, glancing toward the book. There is a faint quirk of her lips at the title of it. She stays a few feet distant from him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're lying," he shot back in disbelief. "This is a trick. It has to be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-24 01:11 am UTC (link)
	There is a silent moment where the redheaded woman seems to concentrate and she solidifies in the room with him. Or perhaps she becomes more solid and the room less so. Either way, she seems much more real than she did a moment ago. "Alex." She pauses, pressing her lips together, "Oh, Alex, I'm so sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	plasma_atk 2011-05-24 01:24 am UTC (link)
	It was odd. He didn't know if it was her voice, or that she seemed to become more real, or that she had stayed so long, but Alex was starting to believe that this was no trick. His guard was still up, and understandably so, but it wavered. "...Madelyne?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-24 01:28 am UTC (link)
	There is a faint, weak smile, "Yes, Alex. It's me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	plasma_atk 2011-05-24 01:44 am UTC (link)
	The longer he sees her, the more he believes she's there. "...but how?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-24 01:49 am UTC (link)
	She lets out a sigh, looking to the ground for a moment before she looks back up at him, "Same person, same soul - new body." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	plasma_atk 2011-05-24 01:58 am UTC (link)
	"It's just... hard to believe. We thought you were gone for good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-24 02:11 am UTC (link)
	There is a soft sound from her, not quite scoffing and not quite amused. "For those of you who thought of me at all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	plasma_atk 2011-05-24 02:19 am UTC (link)
	"...I still mean what I said back then," Alex said. "I can't excuse what Scott did to you. I still don't know what's going through his head, though this time I can at least tell who is going through his head." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-24 02:27 am UTC (link)
	Madelyne's brows arch at that last part. She doesn't ask the question, though. She's not going to talk about Scott - at least that's the plan. "I've died three or four times, depending on how you want to count it all. It never gets any less strange." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	plasma_atk 2011-05-24 12:53 pm UTC (link)
	"You're right, it doesn't." It was still hard to believe she was back. "Are you feeling alright?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-24 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	"No. I'm not." Madelyne smiles a little, "Thank you for asking." This is harder than she thought it would be. She doesn't just want to hit him over the head and drag him off... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	plasma_atk 2011-05-25 01:48 am UTC (link)
	"You're welcome, Madelyne." He responds to her smile with one of his own. "How long have you been back?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-25 03:19 am UTC (link)
	"Just long enough to run into complicated situations." Madelyne clasps her hands on front of her, "Can you tell me what is happening here? I've heard... Well, I can't credit it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	plasma_atk 2011-05-26 06:42 am UTC (link)
	"A lot of things are happening here," Alex replied. "Right now? Scott just welcomed Magneto and his parasite, Exodus, onto the compound. As for what has already happened, well..." A lot of bad things had happened while Madelyne was gone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-31 02:41 am UTC (link)
	Madelyne frowns, though it is hard to tell, really, if it is Scott or something else he mentioned. "Already...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
