MoM IC Contact: TAKE TWO

[khajidont]

Jaime's cell phone is more or less plugged riiiight into his brain, so he tends to pick up like 99% of the time! If not, however...

"Hey, Jaime here! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

Especially here. He could hurt a lot of people back home but here, he has superpowers. He's hurt a lot of people in a lot of different ways here.

He deserves to be in jail for good, but that's not how things are done here. The best we can do is make sure not to give him a reaction.

[asoothingvoice]

That's great. Justice is only a revolving door here?

I'll try to avoid him.

[It's the best she can do. She's not going to promise her son that she won't get into a fight with the man if she has another encounter with him- it's not honest- but she can at least say she won't go looking for one.

She doesn't actually want to have an encounter with the Scarecrow of all possible people.]

[khajidont]

Yep. Doesn't matter what you do, you only get a little time.

But thank you. Tell Dad too [Okay, he's not that worried about his dad, because he's generally quiet, but he needs to cover his bases.] That's the only time you guys have talked right? He doesn't know anything else about you?

[asoothingvoice]

[Bianca is probably the wrong parent to have been given that knowledge.]


That's useful to know just in case.

I will. And it was only once. Nothing else besides what was mentioned there.

You don't have to worry mijo : )

[Smileys from Mom: Not actually reassuring!]

[khajidont]

[NO MA HE'S WORRIED]

If you say so

Being careful here is probably a good bet. I mean there's a lot of good people but guys like Crane aren't as uncommon as they should be

[asoothingvoice]

You would think something bringing us here that seems to like taking superheroes would grab less SUPERVILLAINS

[khajidont]

I'm not buying that it takes superheroes

Just that it takes people with interesting lives. And supervillains fit the bill

[asoothingvoice]

Maybe we should have raised you more boringly, then

[She's really not up for more fighting in the streets. Once was enough.]

[khajidont]

I'm pretty sure that the way you guys raised me isn't the problem

Actually I'm pretty sure that I might be the reason you guys are here in the first place. The more people there are from one area, the more likely more are to be pulled in

Just took you guys a while is all

[Which, honestly, sucks. They shouldn't be here.]

[asoothingvoice]

It might be, it might not. Don't think that you're the reason. Maybe El Paso's attracting this sort of thing on its own now?

[khajidont]

Then why you? Why not one of the Posse? Or La Dama?

I'm just saying, the stats line up

[asoothingvoice]

It does, but it also could have been Brenda or Paco in the first place.

[khajidont]

Could've been! But it wasn't.

I'm pretty sure it was always going to be me. A different version of me was here too, before.

[asoothingvoice]

Huh. That's a new one.

[khajidont]

[He makes the executive decision of not telling his mother that he knows of a few alternate selves but they tend to be either evil or strangled to death. Some things, she's just better off not knowing.]

I'd just try not to think about it too hard

[asoothingvoice]

[Probably, yeah.]

Trust me, I try not to. Sometimes, though...

[khajidont]

Yeah, I know. But there's not much we can do about other universes anyway. Besides, we probably don't even exist in half of them!

[asoothingvoice]

That isn't very comforting to think about.

[khajidont]

Oh. Sorry.

[It doesn't bother him!]

At least doubles don't usually show up here? It's more than I can say about home

[asoothingvoice]

I'm beginning to think it's just a superhero thing.

[Her son, the superhero. Someday he's going to end up as mellow as his father.]

[khajidont]

Yeah you're probably right

But I guess that doesn't make you feel much better huh?
