No. No. NO!

[The video is an absolute blur, but there is definitely destruction happening. The tinkle of broken glass, loud thumps and cracks that sound a lot like furniture being hit with blunt objects - anything you'd associate with a house being utterly totalled from the inside can be heard through the maelstrom.

Then it stills, and one red-faced, absolutely apoplectic Pyro is visible in the middle of his path of destruction.]

You assholes. You stupid fucking assholes. If you were so almighty, we wouldn't be any threat to you, would we? So why the hell take them away? Curse me. Make me think I'm Stryker, I don't care. Just bring them back, and do it now.

[It doesn't matter how many times he's told others that people come back. That's it's random. That they're better off. This is his fucking leader and second-in-command, two of the mutants he admires above all others, and they're both gone. If someone doesn't talk him down soon, he'll be paying off the damages on a burnt-down paid residence for the rest of his time in Asgard.]

((ooc: backtags are coming, but this huge of a drop had to be referenced. also, if any gods want to garnish his wages for the damage or anything, consequences are obviously expected for this.))

What's up with you?

[That's... almost concern. Almost.]

Fuckers. [A low, dangerous growl.]

He's gone. Magneto. And Mystique. I'm the only one left from the Brotherhood.

[And he was a member in his own world for about an hour.]

They were from your world, right?

[He can understand why he would be pissed off.]

More than that. We were the only mutants fighting for real rights and freedom, not just sitting back and hoping it'd come. We could've done the same here if they didn't pull this shit.

So you're the only one left here now?

Not the only mutant. Just the only one on the right side.

The right side?

[He thought they had all been on the same side.]

The X-Men are pacifists. They wanna talk the humans into peace, no matter how they're treating them. The other two here are X-Men in training, so they're twice as bad - they don't want to hurt anyone, when even the X-Men will kill if it's needed.

The Brotherhood of Mutants fights back.

I know people like that. They think that talking and befriending others will bring them peace, that doesn't happen unless you change the whole broken system that caused the waring in the first place.

Believe me, I know.

That's what we wanted to do. At least here. We kept making plans and then finding out they wouldn't work, and when we finally thought we had one...

[He just trails off, but there's a grunt of annoyance.]

What plan was that?

Y'know this city guard? Get into it and take it over from the inside. Get rid of the king asshole and put Magneto in charge. Then we slowly start making people see how much we have to do, how the gods do jack shit to fight this war and screw up what they do do while their captive army has to clean up the mess.

Once we've got enough people on our side, we shut down the guard and paralyze the city. Then the gods would have to listen.

[Sasuke is listening. He doesn't know the full details, but he knows that something still needs to be done.]

Even if they're gone, how many other people do you have?

I never got anyone to the actual recruitment stage before Magneto left. But Thor was interested, Starbuck... Euri's always behind me, even if she'll bitch all the way about how dangerous it is. Ghanima and Morgana might back me up. Dunno about Connor. Not many people, anyway.

[It's funny how he had total faith in two people, but a list like that isn't enough for him.]

[Sasuke's silent, mulling it over. He doesn't know any of those people, safe for a random conversation or two.]

What if I suggested we still look into it.

[And then there's a good deal of silence on his end. Pull this off without Magneto?]

Who'd be the figurehead?

I don't know. All I'm saying is that I'm sick of waiting around here not doing anything, and you at least have a plan that could open some eyes.

I'll think about it, alright? I - fuck, I dunno what to do now. But I'll think about it.

Yeah.

Either way - [This is hard to say to a non-mutant, but his options have dropped to zero, and he needs people on his side if he's going to pull off anything at all.] - we're on the same side. We're allies.

....Allies, yeah. [Something he needs too.]

I'll see you around.

Definitely.

[That's done a lot to ease his anger. A definite ally and a potential way to continue the plan. He's still not sure, but it's more than he had when he found the other two bedrooms in his house empty.

He signs off.]
