I get that. You don't want to give a room to someone you don't really know especially in a place like this. There's gotta be some level of trust.

[ you don't want to give it to the wrong person who might put you in even more danger than you already were in just by living here or someone who made you uncomfortable. ]

I've been couch surfing for awhile now. [ so, maybe he did need a place. ] I can't go back to the safehouse anymore. I don't want to put anyone in danger.

[ and he was careful about where he went even now just in case. ] So, I'm having to be cautious about where I go. So, I don't drag trouble behind me.

That's mysterious.

[ a smile flickers across his face as he reaches for his drink and takes several slow gulps. ]

You're not hiding your secret past as a pop singer, are you? Got a few albums out that I might have missed because it's not my type of music? Did some tours that sold out before you grew out of that phase.

[ he hides a quiet laugh by drinking and again and looks over at her. ]

I can see it. You've definitely got that pop star look.

[ he doesn't even know what a pop star look is. a broken clock's right twice a day though so maybe she does have the look and he just doesn't even know it. ]

If pen and paper were still a thing here, I'd ask for an autograph.

[ alas. ]

I'll keep your secret. Cross my heart. [ he taps two fingers over his heart and snickers. ]

Sure. That sounds good. [ sounded like a good way to avoid his own head too. he doesn't want to get too lost in there any sooner than he has to so he readily accepts the offer. ]

You're so good to your fans. [ it's nice to know that he can still tease a bit despite all that crap in his head. ] Lead on. I'll help you finish your wine.

[ he takes a seat at one of the end the couch, stretching his legs out in front of him while she grabs the wine. he takes the glass from her when she returns with a grateful nod and then watches her sit down, watches her get comfortable before she speaks.

he's not sure what he's expecting her to say but it's not that. his eyebrows go up a bit and he doesn't say anything at first. ]


Huh.

[ not very emotive but he's still processing. ]

Are you undercover or something? Witness relocation?

[ those are the two biggest reasons he knows of that require a fake persona but he guesses it could just be a personal preference thing too. ]

[ it's...a good plan. one that he hadn't thought of but he also hadn't had a reason to think of it. he'd used fake names before, had fake identification but that had been more for safety reasons since people like him weren't generally well received by the public.

he rubs a thumb against his lip, thoughtful. ]


I don't know what SHIELD is. [ but he can only guess that it's something like the cia or secret service by the way she talks. ] But, might be good if something like that worked.

[ will it work? he doesn't know. he's been stingy on who he's told about his own past, his own secrets, just in case it came in handy. ] What kind of skill set are we talking about or is that something that's above my pay grade?
heliophilous: (【SEVENTY NINE】)

[personal profile] heliophilous 2019-08-08 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
And you don't discriminate? The people you protected, I mean.

[ because he's heard things like that before from different group. people who said they were out there to protect those that couldn't protect themselves but what they meant is protect regular humans from people like him.

he doesn't want to ask the question because he doesn't think it applies but better safe than sorry. ]


I've heard similar mission statements like before. All of it turned out to be lip service when it came down to it. I'm not saying that's you but fool me once and all. Just making sure.
heliophilous: (【THIRTY】)

[personal profile] heliophilous 2019-08-08 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it's a better, more honest answer than other people have given him and he relaxes a little. he hadn't thought he had any reason to believe otherwise but it was still good to hear. ]

The other me must've not told you what I am.

[ it was that or she wasn't saying it because she thinks he's keeping it a secret. and he is but, like her, he's been telling people here and there when he thinks he can trust them. ]

And why I'd ask something like that.
heliophilous: (【ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN】)

[personal profile] heliophilous 2019-08-08 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right. And that's because I'm a mutant.

[ got the fancy codename and everything. but god, he hates that codename. ]

It's a genetic thing. I've got something called an X gene that made me...well, this. And people don't always take kindly to this.
heliophilous: (【THIRTY FIVE】)

[personal profile] heliophilous 2019-08-09 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [ and sometimes those people included those who were supposed to love you and support you no matter what. sometimes those people looked at you like you were the worst thing to ever happen to them too. he doesn't go that deep into his past though. just blows out a breath and smiles a little when her fingers curl around his.

the bond sparks to life and he's able to feel that she means it, that she's not just saying words she thinks she wants him to hear. ]


I got lucky. If you look at me, you can't really tell. I know people who had a harder time because their mutations were pretty obvious. Hard to go out in public so they either hid themselves behind makeup and masks or just hid.
heliophilous: (【ONE HUNDRED TWENTY ONE】)

[personal profile] heliophilous 2019-08-09 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds similar. Similar enough that I'm sure they probably went through some of the same crap we do. You learn to live with it which is...terrible but unavoidable unless you do wanna go to ground. Which some people do.

[ and then it was their job to support those that couldn't support themselves. it was one of the things he missed about home, being able to help in that way. the squeeze of his hand keeps him from getting too far down that rabbit hole and he exhales. ]

No need to be sorry. You didn't do anything. I appreciate it but don't worry about it. I've gotten used to it. [ unfortunately. ] Anyway, I'm making this about me and it's not. I appreciate you being honest about things. You didn't have to but I appreciate that you trusted me enough.

[ he's not going to lie, he'd like to be somewhere stable. bouncing around from the safehouse to jyn's place and then adding in a brothel just to keep out of sight was kind of exhausting. it'd be nice to live in one place. still... ]

Are you sure? [ it's not so much doubt for her abilities but he remembers all too vividly how dangerous the men who'd grabbed him were. and while a lot of them were dead, there were still more where that came from. ]

I appreciate the offer and really, I'd like to get in a place where I'm not constantly moving but I don't want you to say that if you're not sure.
