Wei Phoenix
One-Eyed Dragon Of Oshu
Another one to add to the hate list. She doesn't like him anymore either and his loyal friends were dwindling. Date rose up however and asked if him and Scott could speak in private. This was their first time really speaking one on one. "You really are letting me go? No tricks or anything? Not going to wake me up in the middle of the night and have us evacuate Asgard so I'm forced to stay? Why Cyclops-Sama?" "Don't have to reply but just listen. Right now you're dead inside, the woman loved has been taken away from you and you're still expected to be the same man that you were before your loss? You're in a bad state of depression and you have yet to find a reason to wake up, you simply want to get away from it all and stop being what everyone expects you to be in their eyes."
Date was shocked that he spoke his emotions for him and they were damn near spot on. The fact that he could tell with just a simple look was uncanny. "You understand? Who did you lose?" "I lost a lot in my lifetime. I've been through this many times when my Ex died in the past. I wasn't fit to lead the X-Men, I sulked around and just wanted to go home, although my home was the X-Mansion. I'm not stopping you, because you need to find the same thing I found. I can't tell you what it is but you'll know it when it happens."
He was right, he could read him like a book and he was clearly kind and compassionate enough to do this for him without clearly showing pity to him in front of everyone. "But what about...her, why upset her too? You said it yourself she's more valuable on the team." Scott smiled and scratched the back of his head. "On the record, I suspended her from trying to steal from me and the X-Men while putting our property in danger. Off the record, she could've crashed that jet or turned it into a cube. Would not have made any big difference or really bothered me. I could've had another one here in 30 minutes. Who knows what she would've done with her suspension, maybe go out and find herself, find what she wants outside of saving the day, take a trip to Oshu, that is if she's still welcomed in your land." If Date didn't know any better it would seem like Scott was trying to push them together. Before tonight he would've appreciated it greatly, but now he just doesn't know what to think. He leaves the conversation where it is and gets back on the jet to rejoin the others. He still planned on leaving in the morning.
