>>5313720“Not to be the bearer of bad news, genius, but it’s not like FutureLabs is especially forthcoming with their information.” Valjean crosses his arms.
“Are you kidding? That whole freaking group has been the talk of the Internet ever since the conference– they even got a <span class="mu-i">Chitter</span> hashtag. <span class="mu-i">And merch!”</span> Matt sounds almost jealous at that last part.
What did they call themselves again? <span class="mu-i">The X-Force?</span> True to Matt’s word, you get bombarded with those damn headlines every time you open a social media app, and you’re getting really tired of seeing John’s traitorous face plastered everywhere. Clyde’s too!
“Then there’s the <span class="mu-i">MutantWatch</span> station.” Matt’s voice interrupts your seething train-of-thought. You’ve been using that radio station to save other mutants for as long as you’ve known it existed. “Honestly, I’m surprised they still haven’t caught onto us.”
“That’s cause most people are too stupid to use the radio anymore.” Is Valjean’s remark.
“Damn right.”
“So when are we taking these kids out of Konigsburg?” You wonder aloud, mind flitting to another topic of importance. You hadn’t been really paying attention before, but, so far as the captives have been in the warehouse, they’d been acting a whole lot less raucous than they were on the boat. Almost unnaturally so.
You got a good idea as to who the culprit is, and, while you’d like to tell Valjean <span class="mu-i">not</span> to brainwash the captives, you think it’s better that they don’t act as rambunctious as they would be while they’re still in your main base of operations. For now, you’ll let the whole brainwashing-thing slide.
“Tomorrow night, when B’s ready for it of course.” Is Matt’s answer. “Gonna teleport them out of Konigsburg and drive them all to Nova’s. Not in our car, of course.”
