There was one small problem with that idea - he felt almost certain his shirt would be destroyed or he'd toss it in the wash, forgetting it had been signed by [i]the[/i] Incredible Hulk and [i]the[/i] Invincible Iron Man! He wondered if they'd sign it with their real names or their codenames. For Dr. Banner, he was hoping for the codename. Everyone cared about the Hulk, not the scientist that contained that lethal force. And for Iron Man, Dean felt like he'd be thrilled either way. Both Iron Man and Tony Stark were incredibly famous figures - though he didn't quite recognize them as being one and the same. 

	[color=0072bc]"I mean, it lets you know that you survived, right?"[/color] Dean tried to say encouragingly. He had a feeling that he hadn't made it in the future - with the way Future Pietro had looked at him when he helped Pietro trip him up, it told him a lot. It was the way you looked at a long lost friend - or an acquaintance that you could have just [i]sworn[/i] vanished years and years ago. It would've been a shock for him to discover that he [i]wasn't[/i] dead in the future - though his gut feeling was correct. He hadn't made it. And just like he coped with the loss of his family by clinging to normalcy and visions of school that were inspired by Zac Effron and Vanessa Hudgens, he was fixating on prom even more now just to try and avoid dealing with the realization that unless this effort succeeded, he'd be dead within ten years. 

	Folly hesitated, about to go and join Mary in the medical area, but she knew she'd only be getting in the way and she hung back, gravitating over towards Future Pietro. Her hallucinations seemed to be held back for the moment, but she couldn't help but feel a bit of anxiety towards letting Mary out of her sight. What if all they'd managed to do was buy her a couple of hours of life? She bit her lip, trying her best to stay calm. Her medication had worn off and she knew the more emotional she allowed herself to become, the greater the risk of a deadly hallucination. She wanted to keep the images of Boris, her father, away. They always incited her to hurt people. 

	[color=a64dff]"How will we know when the future is safe, Palla Latchi?"[/color] Folly asked Future Pietro softly.

	[color=A6C1C3]"We'll know... Thalia can see different timelines, she'll be able to tell..."[/color]

	She thought about that for a moment, thankful that her thoughts were mostly clear. They had only begun to cloud slightly. [color=a64dff]"So we still haven't done enough yet, then?"[/color] 

	[color=A6C1C3]"Yup..."[/color]

	Folly nodded and turned to look at the television screen, seeing the news report play. She heard the mumbling as to different approaches O.M.E.N. could take to frame it and for a moment, she wondered if they shouldn't have gone back further and killed Alex when they had the chance to. She and Thalia had met him before, back in Boston. [color=a64dff]"...We might have made a darker future then..."[/color] she whispered. They could have claimed that they were trying to free the children from the X-Men. All they needed was a talented journalist and a few well placed tweets. 

	Guin was about to walk over to her father, only to make a face as she saw Nina there. She wanted to tell him about everything she had learned - just to see what his perspective on it all was. They thought similarly and maybe, he'd be able to help her wrap her head around it. But as it stood, Guin couldn't decide if she'd rather see Maddie or Nina talking to Tony. Both of them, in her opinion, were completely horrible people. She wouldn't have been surprised if Nina built the Sentinels and sold them out. 

	[color=cc33ff]"Why can't she just go away and not breathe the same air as everyone else..."[/color] Guin muttered to Pietro. Pietro shrugged slightly, [color=7ea7d8]"I don't know Guina... But we have to deal with it."[/color] She sighed, gripping Pietro's hand a little tighter before she walked on over to her father, catching the tail end of the questions Cassandra and Nina were posing him. Tony nodded at Cassandra. [color=f7941d]"Yeah, we've got one, it is the phone on the wall over there that is painted red and has a light that flashes whenever there is a call,"[/color] he explained, gesturing over towards the phone. 

	Guin glared slightly at Nina, before she gave her father a hug. Despite what some may believe about their relationship, they both cared a lot about each other. They just tended to be brutally honest when it came to emotions, causing them to get into intense screaming matches that ended with them coming to a new understanding. [color=cc33ff]"Hey, Dad,"[/color] Guin said quietly. She didn't quite like having people here constantly to watch this, but it couldn't be helped. She was used to people staring at her father and interrupting family moments. 

	[color=f7941d]"Hey there Penguin, had a rough day from the look of things,"[/color] Tony said softly, hugging his daughter back.  

	[color=cc33ff]"Yeah, no shit Sherlock...Do you have a sec to talk in private, Dad?"[/color] Guin asked, pulling away from the hug. She [i]really[/i] didn't want Nina to be there to hear this conversation. She didn't want Nina to be there to hear [i]any[/i] conversation, to be honest. 

	[color=f7941d]"Sure,"[/color] he replied, before moving off to the side, with Guin following him. She bit her lip slightly and rocked back and forth on her heels, trying to think of how best to say all of this. It sounded insane. She had seen proof and she still couldn't quite wrap her head around it. [color=cc33ff]"So, O.M.E.N. attacking the school wasn't the only thing that happened...Four people from the future showed up to help us escape...The man with the silver hair? With all the muscles and the cute stubble? That's Pietro from the future where...where apparently we're married..."[/color]

	[color=f7941d]"...What?"[/color] he said, before looking over at both of the Pietros, glaring. Guin just nodded, not really sure what else to say. The entire situation freaked her out. Yes, she loved Pietro, but the thought of having that big a choice in her life already made for her...It was frightening. 

	[color=f7941d]"...I'll kill him."[/color]

	Guin's eyes widened. She knew her father was capable of it, as long as he had the suit and a bit of prep time. [color=cc33ff]"No, Dad, don't!"[/color]

	[color=f7941d]"Why the hell not?"[/color]

	[color=cc33ff]"...I love him, Dad, I'm just freaking out, okay? If I knew you were going to try to kill him I wouldn't have said anything...Probably shouldn't have said anything in the first place..."[/color] she muttered, looking at the ground. It wasn't with very many people that Guin showed that type of vulnerability. She tended to hide her feelings behind cheesy one liners and cheap tricks. But with her father, she was honest. It was their deal. 

	Tony let out a sigh, [color=f7941d]"Fine."[/color]

	[color=cc33ff]"...I don't know what to do, Dad..."[/color] Guin admitted, feeling very small. 

	[color=f7941d]"Don't worry... It'll be alright."[/color]

	[color=cc33ff]"...What will be? Because apparently this is the start of an apocalyptic future, where O.M.E.N. tries to wipe out the mutant population and causes the world to end...Where we have to hide like we're in a bad Michael Bay movie and everyone we know dies...Or the fact that apparently I'm going to marry Pietro and I do love him but I'm scared that if I stay with him it'll be because I know another version of me did and not because I want to...."[/color]

	[color=f7941d]"All of it... Don't worry... We'll solve problems one step at a time."[/color] 

	Guin nodded, looking at him. [color=cc33ff]"Okay, Dad,"[/color] she replied softly. Tony gave her another hug, before he pulled away, walking back to the others. Guin watched him head off, before she went over to her Pietro and took his hand again. [color=cc33ff]"Are you okay?"[/color] she asked quietly. 

	[color=7ea7d8]"Yeah, I'm fine."[/color] Guin smiled slightly. She was pretty sure Pietro was fearless. [color=cc33ff]"...Just a heads up, my dad threatened to kill you..."[/color]

	[color=7ea7d8]"...Good to know..."[/color]
