Chapter One: The Watch

[Solace]

“Me? Since when have ah been the troublemaker?” Paige yelled her gaze focused on Victoria’s back, somehow the young southerner knew the telepath had more important things to worry about. But she had to get the final say; it was a personality trait of hers. “Yuh’d be wise to listen to ‘Toria and Tessa, they’ve both been through hell…so if anyone they know what it’s like to try and deal with the horrors in life.” Paige understood that the poor girl didn’t need to be reprimanded for something she couldn’t control, but they veterans of this group knew what it was like to watch as emotions tore a team apart. “Ah’ve in the past week watched fifty year old version of mah brother die in my arms…now ah’m not saying that compares to what yuh’ve just described Rogue. But what ah am trying to point out is that we’ve had it rough, but just because yuh’re reality shuns yuh for what yuh’ve done doesn’t mean this particular group is going to. Hell if these people are anything like ah think they are, they’ll try and get to know yuh before makin’ up their minds about yuh.” The blond metamorph ran a hand lazily through her long blond locks as a way to keep her hands busy and to stop herself from fidgeting.

Paige’s attention was soon focused on Dr. Strange as he spoke of them leaving the moon and heading out on their first mission. “Ah’ve got one question, is there and in flight movie?” Paige grinned somehow she felt that maybe the group needed to lighten up a bit, or she just felt like doing a very Pete Wisdom like thing. For as much as she tried to hide it, the blond teenager was missing the ex-spy very much, after all you can’t have a person looking out for you for a good many months and not miss them once you’ve parted ways.
