Something That I Used To Know

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as classroom space for the University. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for University students on a meal plan. The old library has been bolstered with college textbooks.

"That just makes me a hero... or an X-man. I was happy to do it and I'd do it again, but that doesn't have anything to do with me losing a friend because I was a coward."

"You can probably still mend fences with her. She can be your friend even if she can't be your girlfriend."

Natalie frowns, "She thinks I'm an emotionless monster now and said that it doesn't matter what body I'm in because I'll always be stuck being me. I think the fences have been burned to ashes at this point."

"Oh, I think she meant it," Natalie said. "And she's right, I'll always be me, no matter what body I'm in. But we've already been over my views on what I am."

"They had a lot of wires running between several systems in the Point. It wouldn't surprise me if they cobbled the whole damn place together. I haven't had a chance to talk to Ashlie about what needs to be fixed. We've been too busy working on other things."

"If nothing else, it's the only good place I can charge at the moment until they get the charging station installed in my dorm room. But my armor suit project has become a step towards figuring out if we can get me back into my body, so I need to complete it sooner rather than later."
