[Kevin lets John have his little hissy fit. After all, he knows it's necessary after letting slip something a little heartfelt or whatever.]

Yeah, yeah, I got it. Just let me warn you, okay? I know you think you know what you're doing, but... things have changed since you left.

[Kevin just lets that hang there.]

[And it does, heavy and significant between them. John peers up at Kevin, asks the question.] Like what?

[Now Kevin speaks freely, because what he's going to say next is nothing but facts. But small nuances of emotions flicker across his face that he hopes John can pick up on -- which the listener outside won't. Like little gestures that indicates Kevin's not quite comfortable here.]

The Brotherhood, it's a little more trigger-happy now. More so than before. Our own are killed -- sometimes for small reason.

Clive, I don't know if you knew him. He's dead. Made the mistake of looking at Magneto a little funny when he didn't like one of his orders.

(OOC: Hahha just randomly picked a name of a dead BroHood guy from Wikipedia. Yeah, that's all.)

Personally, I think they would've kept him around if we agreed his powers were more useful. He could fly, but it never came in handy too much.

[It's a subtle clue. Kevin is sure that his powers are deemed valuable here. To him, it's likely the only reason he's been spared this long.]

(OOC: Hahahaha that poor bastard.)

[Kevin would be right. John's still quiet, and for a moment after too; his expression gives nothing away, but his eyes are full and intense with thought.

This doesn't particularly surprise him - but it does make things harder. For him, for Kevin, for Logan.]

I knew him. [John says this in a careless drawl - he's not even acting. Always thought the guy was a useless idiot.] Better off without him.

Yeah, well, point is, he was killed for annoying Magneto.

[Kevin pauses a little awkwardly, and then gives a small smile.]

Hey, uh, remember that time Jono walked into the dark room cause he thought Hank was sneaking food in there and cheating on his diet? And interrupted some fluorescent pictures or - whatever the fuck it was - Hank was working on something. [He chuckles.] Yeah. That would've gotten him killed.

[Kevin, for the first time, allows himself to think about his friends, instead of shoving those thoughts way back down. Maybe he's a little bit homesick. Maybe just a little bit. Not that he'd say out loud. He wonders if John would take this as a hint to tell him about how his friends are doing. Without him having to ask outright.]

[But Kevin has to know - he can't. John shifts a little at the mention of Hank and Jono, the hard line of his lips softening and parting. It's not much, but his eyes dart to the door and back to Kevin. John's hoping he gets the point.]

Look kid, the X-men are soft. Beast and his little toys and Chamber and his food? Kindergarten shit. The Brotherhood doesn't have weak links. I've told you this. And Clive was the worst kind. He was in it for himself, not the cause, and he was useless. So shut up about the good ol' times, all right? It doesn't fly here.

Yeah. Guess they were really just looking for any kind of excuse to get rid of him.

Just -- don't give them one, okay?
