009 [ Voice ]

[ So Julian's been gone somewhere close to a week. He finds that out from a newspaper stand. For him it's been a hell of a lot longer than a week, and his head is spinning now. Memories he hadn't known were there are rising to the surface, fitting back into place. Friends, enemies, people from other worlds. Events he'd thought he'd never forget. Skrulls, Vulcanus.

God, this is weird.

And last time he'd been here, he hadn't looked like this.

He's walking through the City, metal hands concealed in his pockets. Every part of this is a mess. His powers are holding the phone to his ear, and there's no video.

He sounds like he's bored. ]

This place has good timing. I was almost in math class.

So I'm back. You can all stop missing me now. Since nothing's in pieces I'm gonna guess no one tried to destroy the place this week. Did I miss anything worth telling?

...We are not friends?

[She sounds genuinely shocked at that.]

[ God, why does she have to sound like that? How could things have changed so much that she reacts like this now, but in his time all she wanted to do was walk away?

Does it even matter? She’s still gonna be that person. She’ll end up cutting every tie with him. ]

‘Nothing between us’. That’s what you said.

I have never said that, Julian.

It's what you think.

No, it isn't.

No? Cause in my future, you're pretty clear.

[ he has no fucking idea how to deal with this. ]

That does not matter here.

How the hell can it not matter?

I have been in the city for over a year.

I am not the same person anymore.

When you go home you don't remember.

[ Like he hadn't remembered. If he'd kept his memories from here he never would've chased after her like a fucking idiot. Here she'd already told him she didn't want him. ]
