We Will Make Our Plans

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.

"There are a lot of places I shouldn't be," he said cryptically, seeming to willfully ignore the hint to move along as he stepped inside.

"Name's Thrax," he continued with a flirtatious smile directed at the currently burly goddess. What? She was his type. "And you are?"

"Sam. Or I guess since this is missiony, Morrigan."

"Will may be three sheets to the wind right now but he's not wrong. This looks to be a particularly... ah... rootin', tootin', and shootin' locale they've opened a portal to."

Of the three things listed, the alien only understood the part about shooting. But he pretended to follow anyway. Truth was, he was getting eager to see some action despite his misgivings about scratching that itch.

"You don't have to worry about me. I'm completely capable of defending myself. Not that I actually expect you to let me ride along. I was really just looking for the headmistress."

Thrax only heard 'parallel dimension.'

"That's not the argument against it that you think it is." He smirked. He hadn't really wanted to tag along until then. Besides, if she got lost over there he was truly never leaving. "Besides, if she doesn't come back I'm kinda screwed more than I already am."

"Yeah, so, think much, much further away. Like, light-years away. Like Shari."

Thrax's face lit up in pleasant surprise. "Wait, seriously? You're letting me help? Awesome!"

"Should I go get my jumpsuit from my ship or... wait, do all students get those sleek costumes or is that just an X-Men thing?"

"He'll bounce back. I should know; I've kinda got the same thing going on, right?

He wants to help. He'll be useful. If, uh, aimed properly. But he'll need a crash course in stuff. I'll get him up to speed."

A short time later, the alien returned to the lab. He was now decked out in his lightly armored, dark blue and gray bodysuit, his trusty tiruga across his broad back. It was much easier to believe he was from another planet in a getup like that... or someone headed to a scifi convention.

"I'm ba—wait, did she go alone?" he asked, wondering if he'd been ditched. Maybe he was a little too eager to tag along and missed some cue that he was out of line? It wouldn't be the first time someone didn't find his enthusiasm charming.

Of course he knew what was going o—well, shit. He realized he didn't really even know. Way to get ahead of yourself, fuzzbutt.

"Just know there's a portal to another universe. Beyond that, not a clue!" Probably not something to be cheerful about, big guy.

"Aside from being insanely curious about seeing a parallel universe? I mean, I'd be lying if that wasn't a big part of it but also this seems like just the kind of thing the Order would have sent me on if life hadn't taken an abrupt right turn. I thought it'd be painful so I wasn't looking for it but this feels like just what I need to get back a piece of myself.

"I knew you had a few loose stem bolts but this is ridiculous," Thrax teased with an amused smirk. "Not that ridiculousness isn't thoroughly on brand for you."

"So, uh, is that your original universe, then? Or do you somehow have pieces scattered across existence?"

Haley arrived, finally feeling confident enough to do X-teams work with her wings, and sporting a new uniform that accomodated them. She pulled her hair back into a functional ponytail as she walked in.

"...are we going back home to Texas?" she asked, finally taking notice of the vista on the other side of the portal.

The alien's large, furry ears perked up in a display of righteous concern for his new friend. "Attack? Does that mean someone broke you, so to speak? I dread any being that could do that, on purpose or otherwise."

When the tiny Texan entered, Thrax turned to face her. Humans came in all sizes, alright. He was almost tempted to actually join the teams for the snazzy uniforms alone. His suit was undoubtedly more advanced but style mattered for a showman like him. "Unless your Texas is in a parallel dimension, no."
