[It's a weird sort of deja vu to go to sleep in one's own bed only to wake up on the ground in the middle of some forest. His first instinct was to assume it was a hugely unfunny joke, and he picked himself up and groped around the closest trees, eyes clenched tightly.]

Very funny, guys! Now give me back my glasses before I end up hurting someone.

[He gropes at two of the nearest trees, trying to gather his sense of direction. He'd memorized every tree around the perimeter of the school for just this occasion. This one is as thick as one of the old oaks, but didn't have any of the telltale carvings he'd notched into the closest trees years ago. That means he's either out farther than he thought or that this isn't a prank at all.]

Whoever's out there, this isn't going to solve anything. [It can't be Mystique again. Mystique is dead.] We can talk about this. You don't have to put everyone into such a dangerous situation.

[There isn't any answer. That means worse things. Had there been an attack? Was he separated from everyone again? There's only one way to find out.]

Look, I don't know if anyone can hear me. But if you can and you're close by, please get back right now!

[He dares to open his eyes, for just a flash of information. A beam shoots out, splintering the tree in front of him and sending chunks of wood blasting out in all directions. Luckily, there hadn't been anyone standing there, though he was almost positive he'd seen a rabbit. And if he'd seen a rabbit, that rabbit wasn't alive anymore. It was a mistake to check at all.]

It's fine, Summers. [He coaches himself now that he assumes he's alone.] You've done this before. Just reach out to Jean and she'll come find you and everything'll work out again. Assuming she's all right. Jean, please be all right.

[He kneels down to gather the book now that he knows there's a book to gather.]

I don't know... I guess I forgot about it until just now.

Now that's just weird. [He knew that Scott had been here in the past. So he remembers?] But... hey, man, take it easy. And try to find that video. I'm looking for your glasses right now. [CAN HE FIND THEM.] Hopefully, we'll have you up and running in no time.

[ASK YOUR SISTER KURT SHE'S PROBABLY RIGHT THERE.]

Yeah, sorry. It's harder when you can't

[That was him accidentally severing the conversation. It takes a minute before he realizes the error.]

--rt? Did it work?

Try again, man. I think you got the off button.

Give me a break. You try working this stuff with your eyes closed.

[More fumbling, but eventually the video finds its way on via the "mashing every button" method. Yep those sure are trees. And the smouldering remains of an obvious accident. That's there too.]

I'll pass. [He looks at the feed with some concern.] And you - you should focus on keeping that "eyes closed" thing going on. [He grabs the ruby glasses from a shelf.] The fuzzy man is on his way!

[And some bamfing occurs as he works out where Scott is.]

I'll get right on that. [Kurt is the most helpful buddy ever. :|

But with the promise of an impending rescue, Scott finally feels secure enough to settle down and work on the journal. Other people are starting to be noisy. He might as well do what he can to remember how this works.]

[It's not long before there's a bamf. And Kurt is holding the glasses out towards Scott.]

Here's your delivery! You just need to sign for it.

[JEEZ KURT GIVE A GUY SOME WARNING. He jumps up, squeezing his eyes tighter to keep from blinking in surprise.]

You scared me. But thanks.

[He gropes for his glasses, but isn't quite reaching at all in the right direction.]

Way to be the fearless leader! And you might want to try reaching more towards my voice.

Or you could try just handing them to me.

[But at least he's sort of grabbing in the right area this time. He might get a handful of fur instead though.]

Hey! Hands off the merchandise! [He pulls back a bit to free his fur, then he tries putting the glasses directly into Scott's hands.] Just take your glasses already, oh grabby one!

[THAT works. Scott accepts the glasses and sets them back on his face, cautiously opening his eyes.]

Oh man, are you a sight for sore eyes!

And for laser eyes, too!

[He says with a bright smile. It's been so long, he missed his bro so much. So he immediately raises his hand for a high five... from which he will pull Scott into a hug.]

[He's happy to return that high five -- but you know what? A hug works just as well. He gives Kurt a manly clap on the back.]

How've you been holding up here? Everything's still okay?

[A manly clap! Kurt quickly mimics that back and, not wanting to hold it too long, he quickly pulls back.]

Things are... kind of complicated. [He got dumped. And Rogue's been involved in all kinds of weird and scarring business. Not to mention Logan and Ororo... but detail can wait for now.] But we're all in one piece, at least! But, by the way... You remember being here, right? I was there back then... wasn't I?

Of course you were here. ...Did something happen to you since then? [Because sure, Scott's been home and has only cursory familiarity with what's going on, but Kurt's obviously just not had a chance to leave.]

[He nods.]

I went home. Or so I heard. Because... you know, I don't have any memories of that time when I was here. I got here almost a year ago and found all kinds of people who already knew me. I heard that you had been here, but... I don't remember seeing you since we were at home.

That's so weird... Do you think it's got something to do with all that time stuff? Maybe you're going to go home and come back to the Luceti from a year ago.

Or something. [and now his head kind of hurts.]

[scott r u ok.]

What? Dude, that's just too far out there! If I go back to that Luceti, what would happen to this me?

[NO HE IS NOT OKAY. Physics really isn't his thing.]

I don't know. Ask yourself in the future.

What? But- That doesn't make any sense! Right now, I'm the future me, aren't I?

I don't know, are you?

Shouldn't you know this? I mean... you said I'd become the past me! And then meeting this me... would make me the future me! Or am I just... the present me?

[They don't even need drugs.]

If you're the you that happened before the you that comes here before... [Yeah, this? This isn't working.]

You wanna just go get a burger or something?
