open, babe.
It had been rather awhile since John had had any interaction with, well, anybody. The Brotherhood really wasn't as social a bunch as the X-Men were, and for the most part, this didn't bother the teenager, but...there was something about the common and almost constant silence which unnerved him, which chilled him to the marrow of his bone. He decided not to dwell too much on it because their ways were never going to be identical, and instead of waiting around for something to just happen, he got off of his lazy arse and took a trip into town. For what, he wasn't quite sure. Possibly to find someone to inflict his company on, maybe to catch up with a previous friend? Hah, that wasn't very likely - it wasn't as if you'd wish to speak with someone who'd changed alliance at the drop of a hat. Literally, one second he'd been happy enough with the X-Men, having a blast with Bobby and the others, and then, after a minor enough blow up one day, he'd disappeared. It was obvious where he'd gone, however. It didn't take a genius to know that he'd always been on the verge of switching.

It was also obvious that this was crossing his mind as his dark eyes looked quite absent, along with his expression, while he walked along the crowded street, packed tight with saturday shoppers. He sighed at length and frowned deeply when he felt someone collide with him.

"Watch where the hell you're going, idiot!" he snarled, before glancing down to see who it was.

His eyes met red lenses, which drew back in shock. "John!" Of all the people to run into, no one could've surprised Scott more. After weeks with no contact at all, suddenly, out in the middle of town...He took a step back, ignoring the crowds that jostled them both. Boy looked good, and he wasn't very surprised. Magneto may be insane, but he fed his people. Didn't look happy, though.

"John." He repeated, his voice now carefully neutral. "How are you? Long time no see."

John didn't answer straight away. After all, how could he give a swift reply? It hadn't been as though he was expecting this, the last thing he'd imagined doing was literally bumping into a 'former team mate' of his on a street. Well, to most others it wouldn't seem very uncommon, because it was, after all, in public, thus he was liable to bump into anyone, but this didn't cross the teenagers mind. He regained his stance, folded his arms across his chest in an almost defensive manner and surveyed Scott carefully.

"Yeh, long time no see." he agreed, raising a shoulder in a small, semi shrug type motion, "I've been excellent, thanks...mate...how 'bout you?"

"I've been..." He should've just ignored him and moved on, "good. Good. Jean came back." Amazing how it just came out, nowadays. John still didn't look haoppy- probably felt even more awkward about this than Scott did. "I'm glad you're alright. We worried." They did did.

"Ah. Yeh, I remember that." John nodded lightly. Resurrection hadn't been a problem or issue or whatever with the brotherhood, or...atleast it hadn't been yet. He doubted it ever would, because it seemed like usually, when someone died, they stayed dead. "You worried? Pfft. You know as well as I do that I can look after myself." Could he, though? In all actuality...no. No, he most certainly couldn't. He was a very dependant person at the end of the day, "How's...well...anything happening over there?"

Scott cursed the presence of his visor silently, as it made the disbelieving look he shot John lose much of its power. "No much. A few new students came in, nothing more." He hated to do it, but John was the enemy now, and couldn't be trusted with information.

"John..." He felt he had to try. But would they trust him? "You're always welcome to return." He said quietly, softly. "The brotherhood's no place for a young man."

John noticed the look of obvious disbelief, but didn't take offense nor actually acknowledge it. Instead, he sighed at length, brought his left hand to first scratch the back of his neck and then rest there, and allowed his gaze to fall to the floor. It was obvious Scott didn't trust him with information, but that was fine with him. If he'd been Scott, he figured he never would've trusted John in the first place. But that was John's untrusting nature. No one got close, no one had the power to breath a secret to another soul. It worked.

"Yeh...well...I had to grow up sometime." he surprised himself when he did, infact, not snap. Rather, his voice seemed to have the same soft tone that Scott was using, "I'm not the only guy there, either. It's not a bad place; I'm not going to be getting myself killed or anything."

"I hope so." Scott nodded. And please, if you do, let it not be one of us who does it. X-Men, as a rule, tried not to kill, but sometimes there was very little choice.

"Well...Good luck." It felt lame, but he had nothing better to say. "Whatever you're looking for, I hope you find it." He turned away from John and started walking again.

"Thanks, and same to you, I suppose. I'm not looking for anything, mate." John replied, wrinkling his brow in slight confusion. He wasn't...really. What he wanted was solace, though he sure as hell wasn't going to get that, no matter where he went or which alliance he sided with. It didn't matter; nothing could be done about it now. "Except, maybe, not to get my arse blown off thanks to some anti-mutant group. But whatever."
