You are not.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

You know, I remember everything about what I did on Utopia. Everything. So yeah, that's how I'm seen. I know that.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

I know that's how you're seen, too. I'm saying you're not. You're not a bad kid, or the next Magneto, or a time bomb or whatever else Wolverine and Cyclops call you. Or at least I don't think you are.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

I don't care. Cyclops is a murderer anyway, and Wolverine isn't a hell of a lot better. I'm only at the school because I have to be there or Utopia. When I'm eighteen I can go anywhere I want and they can't stop me.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Where are you gonna go?

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Anywhere. I don't have to be anywhere, so I can be anywhere I want.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

That makes sense.

[he means it]

I was just squatting in some guy's apartment, before I went to San Fran.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

When I woke up, Angel covered all of that. Or Archangel now. Whatever he's calling himself.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

I was with my parents, for a while. It...didn't work out.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you told me.

Bet they'd take you back if you wanted to go, though.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[kind of shrugs from his laying position]

I don't know. I haven't heard from them since it happened. Besides, even if I go back, it can't be the same as it was.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

'Course it can't be. But you have to try it anyway. I mean, look at your other options: a berserker psychopath or an asshole sociopath.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

I could always do the same as you. Just go anywhere else. Get away from them for good.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't. You actually like your parents.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Maybe that's why I should.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

You're not a monster.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[stares at his monsterarm as he clenches and unclenches his fist, but doesn't say anything]

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

It doesn't make you a monster.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it makes me a weapon.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

You're not a weapon either. I know that you're not.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

I guess all that's left is to figure out what I am, then.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Someone who is going to get punched if he tries to kiss me again and blame camp.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Well there goes my last bright idea.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Though, what you aren't is a monster or a weapon or anything like that, any more than Foley is anything other than a healer. Just because you were made to do something once doesn't mean that that's what you are.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Maybe you're right.
