Before she went on educational leave from S.H.I.E.L.D., her primary job had been to coordinate between the X-Men and S.H.I.E.L.D. She had learned when she first arrived that much of the previous team had scattered, leaving Mary behind to rebuild. When people left like that, it wasn't generally with the hope of coming back. And while they could put a call out to the old team, they didn't have the time to wait and negotiate. Besides, that would be admitting that they were just Avengers Little League - that they weren't capable of handling issues. They were the X-Men now - the old team was a thing of the past. [color=0072bc]"They're also kinda...old..."[/color] Dean pointed out. [color=0072bc]"Some of them are getting past their fighting days...Like beyond Wolverine being ancient, they're in their forties now...with years of mental issues and combat injuries or stuff..."[/color] he mumbled. He had been a student at the institute for the last four years or so. He wasn't blind to the fact that the old team hadn't just quit - they'd retired. Sure, some of them had gone on to join other teams, but he knew that a few of them had settled down. [color=cc33ff]"That's ageist,"[/color] Guin pointed out. [color=cc33ff]"Plus, my dad is just about fifty and he's still an active member of the Avengers, so don't really buy that explanation Kesseli,"[/color] she pointed out. And of course, their biggest foe as a team was Magneto and he had to be pushing 90 years old. She was still wondering how he managed to conceive Pietro and Wanda in his seventies. She had heard some rumors around the mansion that Magneto and Xavier had actually been de-aged back in the eighties and it was how they met, but she wasn't sure how true it was. Folly sighed, finding a lot of this conversation pointless and circular. [color=a64dff]"Reasoning with Jakobsen isn't possible. And Cornish isn't the one you need to be worried about - she's not the same sort of villain that he is..."[/color] she weighed in softly. She disliked the idea of sending anyone to go reason with a man who could not be reasoned with. She understood their temptation to hold onto the law, but she had let go of the idea of world governments and structure years ago. Chaos was going to reign if they didn't take action. Her ideal situation would be to have a shapeshifter take Jakobsen's place and shut the program down from within. However, her nostrils flared as she heard Allison insult Mary. She may have been holding it together mentally, but [i]no one[/i] called her only friend stupid. She could see Allison glaring at her and Guin had been about to go over and smack Allison for it, when Folly beat her to the chase. In the blink of an eye, Folly walked up to Allison and stomped on her foot. [color=a64dff]"The only stupid one here is you. You want to know the future?"[/color] Folly asked darkly. [color=a64dff]"You make it to the fourth year. And then die. Stupidly."[/color] She took a deep breath, maintaining eye contact with Allison before she walked back over to the other future people, not even caring if Ayita or Richard or anyone attempted to attack her. She'd heal from their attempts anyways. Dean gulped, looking at Carolina for a moment. [color=0072bc]"...I'm not sure which one is scarier...Vengeful Allison or the psycho chick..."[/color] he whispered in Carolina's ear. [color=0072bc]"But uh guys, we really shouldn't be fighting amongst ourselves...Probably what Jakobsen wants or something..."[/color] Dean added, raising his voice back to a normal volume. This time, Guin agreed with him completely. She wasn't sure what had gotten into Allison and had Folly not gone and threatened her, Guin probably would have switched with one of the Pietros and then punched her. Her impulse control was rather poor at times, but she lucked out this time around. [color=cc33ff]"...I'm not sure how well it'll work out, but I can go and try to talk to Jakobsen,"[/color] Guin finally weighed in. [color=cc33ff]"Rhodey's my godfather and that's our connection to him. Plus, I'm famous - but as a human. Not as a mutant. So I go in, talk to Jakobsen - and worst case scenario, I can switch with him and either ruin all of their plans and delete the data, or hell, just find the dirt...People like this are bound to cut corners. I'm not just talking dirt about his treatment of mutants - there's something else he's bound to be doing that Congress and the public won't forgive. We don't have to get him put away for this - just something."[/color]
