i feel really bad about dropping the ball on this but i also maybe want to continue it? how do you feel?
(if you want to continue, i was thinking maybe sela's younger brother could pop in at some point. i don't think zach has ever met jaden.) I don't think he has, though in another AU, Sela's met Zach's younger sister Mindy. So... (also, why is Wyndi displaying as Mini and Mini as Wyndi. The world may never know) Yeah, I remember Mindy (remember me being confused about the whole meema thing for ages?). She's much nicer than Jaden will ever be. lol it - it was meant to be a one-day april fool's thing but y'all took forever to notice so we stuck with it

No matter what city you have Zach pick, Jaden will end up showing up. Somehow.

Zach is still wary but tags along nonetheless watching. I'm assuming Jaden has no powers? I was actually thinking of giving him maybe telekinesis, if you don't mind? It'd really bring his whole "snrk snrk ha ha jie jie you're a loser because you couldn't keep your power under control and under wraps" mentality to another level. edit for footnotes re: recent postThe only thing I remember from my trips to D.C. is the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, so please feel free to use whatever ratio of "lol complete BS" to "okay, this is SORT of reasonably rooted in reality" you want. Jaden will probably magically show up via school trip nonsense. Sela is from Quincy, Massachusetts, an immediate suburb of Boston. Whether you think Zach would know or not can be up to you, but I think Sela would keep pretty quiet (if not dead silent) about where she's from.

okkkk I am now accepting ideas for what to do next, because I don't really have an overarching plot for Jaden set. He's fully capable of making Zach's and Sela's lives difficult at this point, but I'd rather not jump right into that yet. If you want to introduce a new element, please feel free.

Though that's way too convenient and possibly would cause Zach a lot of panic, but she'd be a great counterbalance for Jaden. Her power would probably be the ability to cloud people's thoughts and desires (i.e hiding in plain sight), so there's that.

Yeah, I agree it would too contrived to introduce Mindy right now, but we can keep her in mind for future events. We can bring in some shared NPCs to help move things along? Or perhaps Zach's search for food can be interrupted by government troops closing in on a mutant fugitive.

Yeah, it would be helpful to remind Zach and Sela just how brutally authorities are cracking down on unregistered mutants. Might help erase that smirk off Jaden's face, too.

why are we quoting one another when we are literally the only two people posting in this thread
Nah, Jaden's never thought of it all as fun and games. He just thinks he has a better chance of remaining unnoticed than most people, so he's never really thought about what he'd do if he were captured. Charm the pants off everyone, probably.
I'll make a comprehensive list of Jaden's abilities...eventually...

He's never actually considered that there would be mutant-proofing armor preventing them from getting charming right?
Mindy chuckles in the background. Tiny little girl just twirls around and is absolutely harmless. No mutant powers here, nope.

Tiny little girl just twirls around and is absolutely harmless. No mutant powers here, nope.I mean...no? My sense from the X-Men films were that normal humans really just had no understanding of what mutants were capable of, or how to deal with them. (Look at how long it took them to come up with a way of fighting Magneto, for instance.) And when you have people like Professor X who can literally stop someone's perception of time? It's hugely overpowered - there would be absolutely no way for the average soldier to resist that.
