[ Oh yes, that public trauma. Murphy's not going to touch that. ]
a real winter wonderland
im okay.
ive just been worried about you.

[cicatrize]

Of the two of us, you're the one most recently in actual and real danger.
I got a super power over the weekend, so.
Nothing I can rightfully be complaining about.

[ people being worried about him is still a very weird thing he doesn't process well, forgive pls ]

[mofi]

super power?
like what?
big dick energy?

[cicatrize]

Please. You say that like I didn't already have it.
Telekinesis, actually.

[mofi]

i have a super power too
retrocognition.

[ Murphy thinks he's just fucking around. ]

[ there's no text sent back, just a video that's about 10 seconds long:

the decorative balls that wade loves so much are floating in the air above jack's coffee table, wobbling and clearly not totally under complete control, but they vaguely form the word "DICK". ]

[mofi]

a good ploy to show off ur special effect skills.
what did you use? fishing lines?
ur a dick
not me

[cicatrize]

I'm a lawyer, not a graphic designer.
As if I would do anything so incredibly tedious for the sake of a ten second long joke.

I'd say come by and see for yourself, but I've developed the bad habit of accidentally exploding things now and again, and I'd rather not see that happen to your face.

[mofi]

i feel like there are certain circumstances where you would absolutely do something incredibly tedious.
dont lie to urself.

how about i come by and let's see if u make my face explode?

[cicatrize]

There are much better jokes to do that for.

I'm not kidding. Bucky's not even allowed in here until I have this under control. The door will be locked.

[mofi]

okay okay if u say so
come on stop fucking with me
do u just not want to see people?
like u can just say that.

[cicatrize]

If that were the case, I would just say that.
Have you ever known me to be shy about things like that?
When my week is up, I'll prove it, alright?

[mofi]

no but
how the hell did u just happen to move objects with ur mind?
and why a week?

[cicatrize]

Nissen was handing out favors to those that participated in his orgy.
I made a request, he granted it.
A week was the time limit Barnes gave me for how long he'd let me try to deal with it on my own before he comes storming his stupid ass up here anyway.

[mofi]

u did the orgy thing?
of course he did.

[ There's a little sting of jealousy. ]

i guess hes the only one can help u.

[cicatrize]

He asked me to, so I did.
Worth it for the reward.

[ even fucking up and out of control right now, it still grants him power he didn’t have before - protection, something to defend with. Something to keep murphy safe. And the other handful of people he’s become far too close to. Eggsy, Will, Bucky, Steve. All of them. ]

Who, Bucky? No, he can’t do shit, he’s just an idiot. If anything, showing up while I’m like this will make it worse.

[mofi]

a reward u cant even control?
whatever you say.

whats so great about having a power ur scared ull hurt people with?

[cicatrize]

Can’t control yet.
There’s plenty of people here with superpowers, a couple of them are working with me.

I just have to practice with it.
