[ of course, even in dire times, there's always time for a little cocky and wisecracker remarks. ]
If I can bust through a military base with my eye closed, then I reckon I can handle to knock a lil' sense into these folks. I ain't gonna hurt 'em none. Just enough to put 'em in a time-out corner and get 'em thinking of what they've done. Fifteen minutes oughta do it.
If they're infected, there's a fine chance I'll absorb and catch it. But I'm gloved and suited up. As long as they don't spit on me, I think I can simmer 'em down.
Guess I'm just surprised that you're going to the trouble. Most of these people are humans. You're the one that joined up with Magneto - do you really care about them?
[ so this again, huh? she already had an unpleasant conversation with scott about her opinion through via text.
but rogue holds no ill thoughts to her young team mate's anger and disappointment, after all, he wasn't there when genosha fell and he is from the past. at least, she is assuming so. morph, on the other hand....
there's a short period of silence on the line until she finally speaks up, her voice stern. ]
If everyone is gonna lose their dang marbles and going huntin' each other like it's duck season, it'll mean none of us will be able to go home.
[ she pulls the phone away from her ear and stares at the receiver in confusion. where is this coming from? okay, sure, things are... not perfect between them, but she can't remember a time when morph sounded this angry. ]
That's not true, Morph. I know we just got here and all, but I came across some friendly folks. And I'm sure you have too. And what about Scott and Kurt? They might be from different timelines than us, but they're still our people. That ain't changin'.
Maybe you got friendly. I got twenty questions about being a shapeshifter.
[They're not lying, but they did also have a couple of nicer conversations. It's just hard for Morph to summon up empathy for strangers right now. They know how all of this had to turn out, and staying distant was... easier.]
Kurt and Scott... they're safer staying out of this mess.
And I had plenty questions about me flying. Keep a stiff upper lip, Sugah. Them askin' just means they think you're worth knowin'. And for Scott and Kurt, lil' late for them, don'tcha think?
[ knowing how that comes off, she adds: ]
Tiny Cyclops told me a buncha these folks know he and Kurt are mutants, and they're being treated as fine as peach fuzz.
No, I mean... they need to stay away from the gnosia.
[It's hard to be sincere when they know that everyone's going to die, one way or another. They feel the worst about Kurt getting caught up in the crossfire, though - out of all of them, he was the one that had nothing to answer for.]
I know they won't. They're going to do something stupid.
Scott and Kurt may be youngins, but they're not fresh spring chicken, either. But maybe we can rally 'em with us, and we can hunker down 'till it's all over.
[ she pauses for a second to muse over their situation, then remembering the message she received on her phone at the start of all of this. ]
— I got a message that said "Guardian Angel", I ain't sure what it fully means, but that's right good, innit?
[Then it would be nice and easy to find them when Morph needed to. The thought slips right into their head before they can stop it. They have no intention of hiding out anywhere with the group, but they can make their excuses for it later.]
I have no idea what that is, but it sounds pretty good. I don't remember seeing any messages like that, just the one saying there's an infection.
Yeah, and somebody's gotta know some symptoms. I met a doctor here, so maybe if I contact him soon, he might have some ideas. Or have seen somethin' funny.

What would happen if you touch one of them? Would your powers work like normal? Or - would you become one?

I'll get it right eventually

We need to stick together for that to happen.

[Oh, there's definitely anger bubbling up now, but there's also a hint of venom in their tone, a touch of malice behind their words.]
I know what the score is. These people don't care about us - they hardly even know us.

[Which isn't an usual thing for Morph, but there's a little extra vehemence in their tone this time around.]
I'm going to stay out here for a while longer, see if I can... do any good. I'll find you later, Rogue.

Morph, are ya sure you all right?
wrapped!
