Reunited and it Feels So Good - @goldtoxicity

[helpdesk_hero]

The idea of Krakoa hadn't called to David, when everything was said and all of the offerings made, David hadn't been tempted. It wasn't until one name in particular had been said that he had packed his things and made for the nearest gate. Because there weren't many things that would shift him back to mutant concerns.

Elixir was one of those few things.

So there it was, David heading through the gate, and into an amazing garden. Massive trees around him, vines, flowers, fruit. And so many mutants. David, back over his shoulder, looked around in awe of the place. There was so much going on here and he didn't know what to do about it. Or where to go.

"Uh," he says, approaching the first person that seemed like an authority figure, from how people were gathered around them. A figure in some sort of body suit. "Excuse me? What are new arrivals supposed to do? And do you know where I can find Josh Foley?"

“I... don’t know why you did. But I know you must have had reasons,” David says. Frankly? He doesn’t need to hear them. All he wished for was his family back, the one he had found.

“I... I have so much to tell you. So many stories. Things about me and my life that you should know.”

[goldtoxicity]

A shrug. He doesn't want to get into it, not yet. That's a conversation for later.

"So tell me. I'm not going anywhere."

“It’s a lot of years to cover,” David points out. Though some of them were boring or were probably covered by other people. Or could have been covered by other people.

Where does he even start?

“I worked IT for a while. People? Fucking idiots.”

[goldtoxicity]

"You worked IT?" Josh echoes incredulously. He tries to picture it. David Alleyne, going through the motions of IT support. And he can, sort of, but not in any way that would've lead to him holding that job for more than a few hours.

“Technically it was heroics support. Can’t disable a bomb? Call in, get the staff to help,” David answers. It had been miserable. “Good thing I learned patience handling you. Not that it was enough.”

[goldtoxicity]

A gentle elbow. "Hey," he teases. "I'm a big deal around here, y'know? You can't let it slip that I was the highschool fuckup."

A bright laugh. The elevator reveals the beauty of the room - a stunning vista overlooking the seas. Luxury organically crafted furniture in every room.

"I dealt with Vanisher on two teams. So like, dude... I get it now."

[helpdesk_hero]

Oh. Oh it's so beautiful. David moves across the room and moves toward the windows, his breath catching as he sees the view. So beautiful.

"You worked with Vanisher? Wow, that's insane. but this... I keep being shocked by the beauty here."

[goldtoxicity]

"X-Force and Hellfire Club. We're like old war buddies, only he annoys me and he's scared of me."

He smiles, his gaze following David's out to the beauty of the bay.

"It's really something, huh?"

[helpdesk_hero]

"Paradise," David answers, his voice a low whisper. Then his eyes turn to Josh, smiling softly at the light rolling off the gold of his skin.

"The most beautiful sight I've ever seen."

[goldtoxicity]

Josh doesn't notice. Not at first, anyway, his eyes are still out to the beautiful scenery before the turns to David with a smile.

"Let's hit up the guest rooms."

[helpdesk_hero]

"I would offer to race you to them, but I'm still lost," David admits with a smile, throwing an arm over Josh's shoulders. "I have pillow duties, right?"
