He'd made appointments with various people. He was going to keep them. But even still, he was looking entirely well. He'd lost a little weight, was tense, and mostly very still. Except his eyes. They never stopped moving.

Kevin raised his eyebrows so they disappeared under his hair. "That'd be right nice o' ya. I'm sure she'd appreciate it." And probably try to eat them all at once like she did now, anyway.

[magnetic_magpie]

"House enjoys fussing after people. That's what it was made for." He wasn't sure Kevin got the message he was trying to deliver but trusted him to figure it out.

"Is there anything else to report in on?"

[southernreaper]

Kevin shrugged. He didn't need people taking care of him. Or, any houses, really. He was handling things well enough. Besides, he had other places to squirrel himself away but he'd keep it in mind.

"Not tha' I know o'. Figured you needed t'know 'bout the thin'." He pushed himself upright. "Anythin' ya want me t'look inta?"

[magnetic_magpie]

"Basic floor plan would be good. Can you take you NV inside, when you are called in? Or do you have to hand it over?" Floor plan would be excellent actually.

[southernreaper]

Kevin shook his head. "I ain't been allowed t'take m'phone inta work, ever." He shrugged. "Was part o' my contract. I c'n take in m' SERO phone in, bu' they c'n monitor tha', an' that ain't safe."

He wasn't sure how closely, but he figured they were monitoring it and that made it dangerous enough.

[magnetic_magpie]

"Do they search you?" That would have been too easy, of course. Not that he was without options. He had something in his lab which might work, very well in fact.

[southernreaper]

Kevin's eyebrows rose again. "No, 'cause they all know what m'powers are, but I ain't gonna run the risk." He wasn't going to do that, at all. Not for Magneto, not to save the island.

"I..." Time to admit to something. "Always been able t'draw maps from memory. Lemme get in there another time, I c'n give ya some of the layout, maybe." It wouldn't be completely accurate, but... it would be better than anything.

[magnetic_magpie]

"All right. I won't push." He did respect those most how had a backbone, even if it meant refusing to do what he wanted done.

"That would be excellent." This boy was going to make a brilliant scout if he was trained properly.

[southernreaper]

Kevin nodded. He appreciated Magneto not pushing. He didn't do well standing up to authority figures. However, he was beginning to see that not all of them were frightening or dismissive. Like they had been... before.

"I'll see what I c'n do. Anythin' else?"

[magnetic_magpie]

It was something that needed to be taught, and Kevin was young. He didn't want to steamroll the boy - he had far far too much potential for that.

"No, no, just stay in touch. I will always get back to you, even if it takes me a little while, all right?" And he stressed that. No matter what, he was leaving Kevin to the whims of others.

[southernreaper]

Kevin pushed himself off the wall and tucked his hands into his pockets. "Don't worry 'bout it." Kevin meant it. "I know how t'handle m'self." Not that he was turning down help, just... he didn't want to depend on anyone.

Not right now, anyway.

"I'll let ya know if'n they call me down again."

[magnetic_magpie]

"I'm sure you can. But we are Mutants. That used to mean something." Kitty's reaction had hit him far harder than he had let on.

"Please do." Meeting at an end, as far as he was concerned. He was more than willing to get back to safety somewhere else.

[southernreaper]

"It did." Kevin agreed. "Til we started turnin' our own into the feds."

He turned away and headed out. He didn't need angel-napped to be taken home. He'd walk, thanks.

[magnetic_magpie]

Magneto let him go - something he'd regret later, because he was simply standing there with a stunned look on his face.
